Anika's Pizza - 1980s Themed
family restaurant since 2021
Since we opened in 2021, Anika’s Pizza has been a popular destination for many visiting the Lakes Region of NH. Unfortunately, due to staffing, personal issues, and many equipment failures, we have often been closed to daily business during fall and winter months and open more frequently during spring and summer. We have spent a great deal of time (and money) making this place great, and it shows when you first walk in the door.
Décor
We spent the better part of 2021 remodeling the restaurant. The bathroom windows were rotted out, there was old gray carpeting throughout, and lots of other hidden problems that are too numerous to name. We updated the flooring throughout, creating an 80s themed floor, removed the old ceiling tiles to use ones more appropriate for the setting, and painted all of the walls to create that unique 80s atmosphere.
Equipment
Since purchasing the building where the previous restaurant Artie's Pizza was located, we have spent tens of thousands of dollars on new equipment, including lighting, a Pac-Man arcade, 3 new freezers, 3 new refrigerators, a new oven, 2 new fryers, a new griddle, 2 new HVAC units, and a new water heater, to name just a few things… We have done everything to improve the aesthetics and functionality of the building.
Flexibility
Because of these issues above, we've focused on being open on weekends, and opening our doors to private events and functions, and special deliveries. We have had everyone form celebrities looking for a private meal, to delivering pizza's for camps, weddings, and business events. We have had to remain flexible during this challenging time and will continue to do so.

Testimonials
DJ
Brian and his family saved our bacon by delivering 30 pizzas at 12:15am the night of our wedding. The food was surprisingly incredible, their backstory is inspiring, and it's a family affair over there; the kiddos joined in the delivery. Even gave us gluten free and vegan pizza - both of which were v good. Highly encourage folks in the lakes region to support this talented and creative entrepreneur! (Note: pizza flew off the shelves too quickly to get a picture, but we did get this awesome mug ;) )

I can give you multiple reasons why you should spend every cent you have at this establishment. It's newly owed and decorated, giving you the 80s-early 90s vibes you didn't know you needed. Other than the ambience that sends you back to the past, you are welcomed in, as if you are home, by some of the most genuine, friendly staff and owners you may ever find on the east coast. Now if all of that doesn't entice you enough....the food will. Now I'm 100% vegan and walked in asking about their plant based options they advertise and was pleasantly surprised that ANYTHING on their menu they will make vegan for you. Now, there are a rare few exceptions, but they are working on those being options too! So whether you're a summer rental or all season lifer, meat eater or full on Vegan, please, please, PLEASE, go support this local restaurant; there are options for everyone whether you want the real meat or vegan. Your best pizza, sub joint and good food eatery in the Winnipesaukee and Lee's Pond area. You absolutely won't be disappointed. I tried a vegan pizza myself and it is now in my top 5 of best vegan pizzas I have had in New England! Don't walk, run!

Anika’s is rad! We just happened to be driving through town on our way to North Conway when we saw the sign in the distance and thought it might be a cool place, as we got closer we saw “plant-based options” and lost our minds! We had already eaten and they were closed but we were set on coming back, so we did the next day. While not exclusively vegan, almost everything on the menu can be made vegan. The pizza and calzones we had were phenomenal! Everything we ordered was great but the service was even better! We unknowingly showed up just a few minutes before closing but the owners(husband and wife) graciously offered to let us dine in. They were both so friendly and welcoming. As if that wasn’t awesome enough, the place is decked out in 80’s nostalgia that had me pointing out all kinds of childhood favs to my 5 year old. The Goonies will greet you at the door and Pac-Man, Michael Jackson, the super Mario bros, and even Pee-Wee Herman await you further inside! We’re from Ct so, unfortunately, we won’t be back often but will definitely be stopping by the next time we’re in New Hampshire.
