What They're Saying...
"Incredible"
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 ;) )
"Excellent pizza"
True mom and pop shop. We got the spicoli and the chicken Mc fly… Excellent pizza, sauce is super flavorful, the crust was amazing. I would come just for the crust.. it was that good. Crispy on the outside with a lil bit of color and properly seasoned, loved it.
"Anika's is rad!"
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.
"AMAZING!!!!"
Brian and Cara are super personable and enjoy learning about their patrons! Their pizza is AMAZING!!!! It is a fun place to wait as there is fun decor and an old school video game machine.
"Italian hoagy 😍 the best"
This place should get 10 stars some of the best food ive had in a long time the italian hoagy 😍 the best i will definitely be going back for more. If you're in the area I HIGHLY recommend stopping in and trying something!
"Don't walk, Run!"
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!
"Incredible Establishment"
Incredible establishment and person. Our family of 19 are on vacation and he stayed open after hours to cook 7 pizzas out of the goodness of his heart. The pizza is some of the best pizza I've ever had too! Thank you so much!
"You won't be disappointed"
I just tried the pizza and it was fantastic!! Owners are such awesome people! I definitely recommend you try them out if you haven’t yet. You won’t be disappointed
"Absolute best pizza"
We arrived after hours and was treated to the absolute best pizza I've had in a long time. Amazing story to an amazing establishment. I wish I was from the area and not Massachusetts.
Yelp
The pizza here is some of the best in the area. The subs are great too, sometimes they are not too warm, but still great tasting. The atmosphere is really nice, too; it's a relaxing place. The people are super nice, too.
The bad reviews here are from the old owners - the new owners are amazing. My whole family agrees this is now the best pizza in the region. Friendly, welcoming, nostalgic decor, great food. Perfect pairing with a quick stop at the Old Country Store anytime we have friends visiting.
The owners were awesome! So nice and accommodated. And the pizza was very good! We ordered 2 small salad and he made homemade balsamic vinaigrette for us which was delicious and appreciated. Bathroom were spotless! Great stop on our way to North Conway!!
We were staying in Moultonborough for a wedding and just wanted to grab some quick dinner one night. We called ahead and ordered and then picked up our order. The owner was so lovely and accommodating. And the spot was so cute and kitschy with a little gift shop with some really fun things. The pizza was exactly what we were wanting. Totally hit the spot! Definitely recommend!
We were at an Airbnb in the area for a wedding. This was a great find in what I would call an off-season food desert. Great pizza, which is a high compliment from a family living in New Jersey. The service was exceptional and you really got a family-run business vibe from order to pickup. Would highly recommend and will definitely revisit if I am ever in the area.
What a fun place with great food! We were so pleased with the delicious food, great service, and fun atmosphere. We will definitely be back!
Nice staff, fun decor and theme, and perhaps the best white pizza ever! Great new spot! Sorry forgot to take a pic until there was only one slice left. They went fast!
Trip Advisor
Our "Go To" Pizza
Having recently moved to the Lakes Region we found that it is like starting all over again. You must find new doctors, new dentists, make new friends, and of course ……. find a new PIZZA parlor! We have always had our “go to” pizza parlor. We never had to think about it. It was just always there. So, we tried pies from a few different local establishments, but they were all just okay. Driving home through Moultonborough we decided to stop in to Anika’s. It’s a small establishment on Rt 25 in Moultonborough with an 80’s theme (yes, Darth Vader is there), and 50’s hospitality. I was greeted by the owner Brian, and his daughter Anika, who were very welcoming and assured me I was about to enjoy the best pizza ever. Well, Anika’s hit a home run. The crust was just crispy enough; the toppings were high quality and tasty, and the pie was seasoned and cooked to perfection. It came out right on time, and was still nice and hot when we got home to enjoy it. It was just perfect. Do yourself a favor, the next time pizza wins the "what's for dinner" vote, give Anika's a try. Oh, and by the way, the menu reaches far beyond pizza, so check it out. Now that we have found our “go to” pizza here in NH, my wife and I can put a check in the pizza box (no pun intended) and move on to the less important items on our list, like doctors and dentists.

Happy Cow
HappyCow will only allow 4 stars since they’re not all vegan
Everything can be made vegan, they are re-doing their menu, owners have been vegetarian since 90s and their kids are vegan.
Awesome place, great theming, fantastic food, very nice and personable owners and not many places in the area offering this much vegan food. Highly recommend!
Delicious vegan pizza! 5 stars!!
This is the best vegan pizza I've ever had. Vegan pepperoni and other "meats", gooey, melty cheeze and delicious crust with all kinds of herbs. The family owners are all vegetarian or vegan and are super nice and friendly. The atmosphere is awesomely 1980s covered with neon, '80s movie posters/paraphernalia, and even a Pac Man arcade game. I highly, highly recommend to anyone!
Five Stars
Anika’s is a gem with the best tasting vegan options we’ve ever experienced at a pizza shop. They will create whatever meal you want plant-based and you can tell they enjoy the creativity. I asked for them to make a vegan Italian hoagie, chicken cutlet hoagie, and meat lovers pizza. They let us know what brands they use incase we have preferences. Do yourself a favor and stop by!
They can make anything vegan!
They have vegan nuggets, onion rings, all their pizzas can be made vegan! This is definitely a stop if you’re in the area. The owners are vegan/vegetarian. They do serve regular items too but they love their vegan options. 5 stars! I give them five stars but I’m only allowed to give them for on this app because they serve meat, per the app.
I'd give 5 stars if HappyCow Allowed it
We stopped in for the first time today and ordered a vegan pepperoni and cheeze pizza! The pizza was large, and the crust was pleasantly seasoned! It was one of my favorite pizzas that I have ever had. The dining experience was also fantastic - the place has fun decor and comfy booths to eat at - the owners are very friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to vegan food!! I will absolutely be planning all my future adventures in the lakes region around this place!
