Guido's Pizza

My wife recently had a craving for the Guido's Greek Salad.  The Guido's Greek Salad is loaded with fresh mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, sliced Canadian bacon, salami, mozzarella, and feta cheese and topped with pepperoncinis, and it is served with a loaf of piping hot garlic bread.  When your wife has a craving for such a heroic salad...you make it happen.


As it turns out, I don't really mind helping her get her salad fix, since I enjoy quite a few of Guido's menu items as well.  I have enjoyed Guido's pizzas, calzones, strombolis, and subs.  They are all quite good.  My favorite is the stromboli; a cross between a calzone and a pocket pizza, filled with pepperoni, onions, Canadian bacon, black olives, mushrooms, green peppers, mozzarella, and our special sauce. Fresh-baked to order, inside you'll find turkey, ham, pastrami, cheese, mustard, and mayonnaise with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions.  It is impossible to walk away hungry after taking on one of these creations.

As a swim coach, I have taken relatively large groups of swimmers to Guido's for lunches and dinners.  It has alway hit the spot with them.  They have enjoyed the items above as well as the lasagna and pasta dishes.  It is a nice spot for children of all ages with a very casual atmosphere.  Having said that, it is not at all my first choice for a romantic meal.


All in all Guido's is a pizza/Italian restaurant that will appeal to a broad range of people...definitely worth a try.

Guido's Pizza:

Address - 549 W International Road, Anchorage

Phone - 907.563.2222

Website - www.guidospizza.net

Reservations - Guido's has a very large dining room, but you can call ahead for a reservation.  They are able to facilitate pretty large groups as well.

Overall Recommendation:  Guido's is not the top Italian restaurant in town, nor is it the best pizza.  Having said that, it is not bad either.  If you are out for a more casual meal with pretty good pizza, calzones, and salad, then check it out.
