"Great service, great pizza, great salads, great beer and a great view. Can’t go wrong here.
They even accommodated us as a big group both times. It was so good we came back!!
As an aviation nerd I was especially happy!!!! On the first visit there were a couple of F-35’s doing laps in the pattern.
Would like to see more souvenir options. Maybe chop up and sell some of those old relics on the field!!"

"Very cool setting with large windows to watch planes on the ramp and taking off and landing. Good selection of local beers. The pizza is pretty good with fresh toppings. You pretty much “build your own” pizza which gives plenty of flexibility."
Brian Steele
"We have loved East Ramp since they first opened. It’s our favorite go to spot when we want to eat out with our kids. We especially love seeing all the new specials every week! Watching the airplanes and drinking draft root beer and local spirits makes it even more enjoyable!"

Where to Eat in Fairbanks: A Local Guide to 14 Must-Try Spots
Alaskans are known for their intense love of pizza, so it’s no surprise that Fairbanks is home to some great spots for a slice. The most-recommended pizza place I’ve heard of is East Ramp Pizza, and it’s a great option if you’re looking for a more casual meal and comparison to some of the other pizza restaurants I’ve recommended (Moose’s Tooth in Anchorage and Lynx Creek in Denali). You can build your own 12-inch pie, or opt for one of their “special flights” like the Jalapeño Piper (puttanesca, shredded mozzarella, Italian sausage, and jalapeños) or Porco Rosso (roasted garlic spread, shredded mozz, parmesan, bacon, caramelized onions, and roasted peppers).
Way Up North — Exploring the Growing Beer Scene in Fairbanks, Alaska
Later in the day, we question the owner of East Ramp Pizza (a restaurant that sits on the edge of the city’s airstrip), Wendy Ehnert, about why they don’t carry any out-of-state beers. While guests have certainly asked for macro Lagers, Ehnert says, she’d rather use their limited amount of space to support local. She’s not even sure how much of a price difference it would be to get a keg of something like Budweiser or Sam Adams Boston Lager—she never looked into it.

My wife is from an Italian family and when we first meet she would always talk about the perfect margarita pizza and how its simplicity was its secret to success. I had always been more of a “ load me up with ALL the toppings” kinda guy; then we took a trip to Italy and I had my first real Italian margarita pizza….. and hot damn she was right.
