Moose's Tooth Pub & Pizzeria

What Moose's Tooth Pub & Pizzeria does

Moose's Tooth Pub & Pizzeria is a privately held pub and pizzeria founded in June 1996 in Anchorage, Alaska, by Rod Hancock, Matt Jones, and Warren Hancock. The flagship venue at 3300 Old Seward Highway serves gourmet pizzas paired with craft beer from its in-house brewery, Broken Tooth Brewing, alongside to-go keg and growler off-premise sales, online ordering through the Toasttab platform, and merchandise sold via a Shopify storefront. Hours run late (Mon–Fri 10:30 AM–12:00 AM; Sat–Sun 11:00 AM–12:00 AM), and the venue is known for demand that produces wait times for tables, sustained brand recognition, and a 30-year operating history heading into its 2026 anniversary.

The company operates a family of wholly owned, related brands under common ownership — Bear Tooth Theatrepub (opened 2000), Bear Tooth Grill (opened 2001), and Eye Tooth (opened 2021) — all bearing Alaska Range mountain-peak-inspired names and pouring Broken Tooth Brewing beer. Broken Tooth Brewing, originally known as Denali Brewing and then Moose's Tooth Brewing Company before its 2013 rebrand, supplies craft beer to all sister locations, produces award-winning recipes (multiple Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup medals), and distributes 6-pack cans at to-go counters. Customer engagement is anchored by monthly First Tap events on the first Thursday of each month, pairing new beer releases with live concerts from local and national acts.

The business makes money through four complementary streams: dine-in food and beverage sales, off-premise keg and growler sales (kegs priced $70–$110, growler fills $9–$30), online to-go orders via Toasttab, and direct-to-consumer branded merchandise. Pricing for dine-in menus is not publicly disclosed. The company has not raised institutional capital and remains founder-owned; no PE, VC, or public-market signals appear in the available data, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
