If you find yourself wandering the enchanting paths of Ketchikan, Alaska, there’s a culinary gem high above the bustling streets that demands your attention: The Eagle's Nest. Tucked away at 800 Venetia Ave, this captivating pizza restaurant offers not just a meal, but an experience that blends vibrant flavors with breathtaking vistas. With the call of the wild in the air, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the majestic presence of eagles soaring above while savoring each scrumptious bite.
Stepping into The Eagle's Nest feels like ascending to a hidden sanctuary. Perched among the trees, the restaurant's open-air vibe allows diners to immerse themselves in the crisp, cool air that Ketchikan is renowned for. It's a locale where the serene beauty of nature serves as the perfect backdrop to a delicious meal. Customers rave about the stunning views, which enhance the experience of sharing a perfectly baked pizza atop a wooden deck.
Speaking of pizza, the culinary offerings here are exceptional. Take, for instance, the Eagle Supreme—a guest favorite recommended for its layered flavors that keep taste buds tingling with delight. And let’s not overlook the crust; it's the kind of crust that leaves a satisfying crunch, the result of a professional oven that locks in the taste. The enthusiastic reviews highlight the Cheese Sticks and Grandpa Joe's Classic Meatballs, which pair beautifully with house-made red sauce or ranch for a delightful dipping experience.
But the indulgence doesn’t end with pizza. Sweeten your experience with the velvety Tiramisù or the zesty Limoncello Ricotta Cake, beautifully complemented by a scoop of pistachio almond ice cream. Each dessert is crafted with love and finesse, allowing you to enjoy a perfect ending to your meals.
And while the food alone is enough to lure you in, The Eagle's Nest elevates the experience further through its unique atmosphere.

Everyone we talked with mentioned the Eagle's nest for pizza. They were right. The food was good; the view was spectacular. The eagles were around. The pizza was great. They had a great crust. And the oven made it taste so good. We even had the baked Alaska (which isn't actually an Alaskan dish, but was made to honor Alaska joining the US). Either way it was delicious!

We found this restaurant by random while exploring the Salmon Walk in Ketchikan, and it couldn’t have been more fitting. After making our way up what felt like a step street, we ended up on this wooden deck, high up in the trees, with a view that made it feel like we were literally in an eagle’s nest looking out over Ketchikan. The name fits perfectly. The crisp, cool air and the open-air vibe just added to the experience. We shared an oven-baked pizza that was absolutely packed with flavor, and my friend had an old fashioned that was seriously on point—big ice, perfectly crafted. Even though I didn’t have one myself, it was too good not to mention. This place just hits all the right notes—great food, amazing drinks, and a setting you won’t forget. I’d come back again, no question.

This was a recommendation from other tourists who had found this quiet hotel and restaurant right above Creek Street up a few steps. The views are good and it’s nestled in the trees. Unfortunately for us, the terrace was closed due to rain, but on a sunny day this would be a great place to sit. Because it’s not right on Creek Street it was almost completely empty for lunch, which is a shame because it should have been much busier! The pizza was great and they let us do half an half on one of the 15” pizzas, which was just perfect for two of us to share. Friendly service too.

We hiked up here from one of the cruise ships in town in an attempt to avoid the crowds during July 4th. Great view of the harbor from the deck, great food, ice cold pint of beer. Couldn't ask for more. Definitely worth the climb up.

Just left Ketchikan on Celebrity Edge. Researched this place before coming out. So it was a must do and wasn't disappointed. It's an uphill hike but well worn it. Asked our server for his best choice out of three options. Went with his choice of Eagle Supreme. Very nice view for pictures. Witnessed Water Landing Aircraft fly by and take off. A bald eagle and could see and hear a little bit of the Lumberjack show. Check it out If you can squeeze it in on your Port Day.

This is a really good authentic pizza in a really fun, retro, and relaxed restaurant. Ketchikan, you've been holding out on me. You should tell people about this place. Loved the food and the service.

Some of the best pizza I’ve had! Can be tricky to find this place but the atmosphere was awesome and the views were perfect! We were lucky to grab a table outside and soak in the views. Great local brews on tap, the service was excellent, and the pizzas were all phenomenal. My favorite was the “Eagle’s Egg” which was a bbq delight! We’re only in town for a few days but we might try to come back again before we go!
