Humdinger’s Gourmet Pizza

Great creative pizzas! Always fast and friendly service! We usually pick up but they have a nice small dining area as well. Usually pretty quiet in there.

Just visited for the 2^nd time in a month. Absolutely delicious. I got the Gluten free Tour de Wisconsin and the gluten free breadsticks. Last time got the gluten free Pepperoni Pile. All fantastic, made from scratch in house.
My co-​dinners couldn’t decide so ordered 4 small pizzas to share: the Steak to the Heart, Drive In, General Tso Chicken and the BLT. All delicious but the favs were the Drive In & the General Tso Chicken.
Absolutely worth the drive from Anchorage and owner is also gluten free so has a dedicated portion of the kitchen just for it.

Service was great, along with great pizza. Only draw back was one of the pizza’s was dry. Will be coming back for sure. Best pizza in the valley.

Pleased that the owner contacted me to get more information on our visit. He seemed genuinely interested in my feedback and offered to make it right. Perhaps we’ll give it another try.

I havent been here in over a year, I moved to Anchorage from Palmer and havent had a reason to go back.
First things first: Their prices suck. But being fresh everything, I slightly understand.
The art décor is a little stiff and doesnt really «go» with the tables and such. The pizza oven is really cool and open to where everyone can see pizza being prepared.
I only had pizza here, but they offered a selection of crusts, including a gluten free option. I would just get regular crust, I found it crunchy and tasty. The one pizza that sticks out to me has coconut on it and was a really good sweet/​savory mix.
The service was okay, and very honest. I had accidentally signed him a 45 dollar tip and he came out to correct it.
I would go back if I found myself in Palmer and hungry for pizza.

My family ate at Humdinger’s for lunch today! It was a great spot for all of us to have exactly what we wanted! They have a great assortment of specialty pizzas as well as build your own! Not to mention the out of this world chocolate dessert! The service was family friendly and we were all served with a genuine smile! The prices are reasonable for gourmet home made dishes! I would strongly recommend this as your family pizza joint!

This place has good pizza usually but the wait is horrendous. Tonight we waited more than one hour after ordering to get our pizza. This has happened more than once.
Plus, every time we order pick-​up they give us a time to come get it and we still wait for longer than it should take.
We really want this place to do well and stay open, but the consistency of terribly long waits is making us re-​think our loyalty.
Maybe the owner needs to hire cooks with better time management. Or put a notice in the menu that lets customers know they can expect to wait for a long time.
I understand the pizza is gourmet, and that’s why we like it. But we can get a gourmet pizza at Moose’s Tooth in less than half the time it takes here.
Please do something to solve the terrible amount of time it takes to get our food here.

Easily the best pizza place in the Valley. Not sure why it is getting hammered on Unilocal… it’s one of the top rated Valley restaurants on Tripadvisor.

I’ve never liked their pizza. The crust is way to hard and the toppings just taste a little funky. I’ve been their twice and didn’t like it either time.

We were really looking forward to eating some very special pizza. Reading the other reviews this place sounded like they knew great pizza. It is average.
Well I liked the drive thru cheeseburger. And we got the t-​Rex — the crust is pre warmed before they add the toppings, I suggest a spritz of olive oil and ½ c more sauce. For the price (Alaska has high priced food) the pie is inline with all our resturant eating. I was expecting more for some of the other reviews built Humdinger’s up. But it was nothing special to be overly excited about.
The balsamic vinaigrette was good on the house salad.
*update-​to the owner. I loved your tables (concrete and metal) and unique menu style. I have lived in Boston and have eaten Todd Englishs’ pizza. I like thin crust. I was expecting that caliber crust. I wish you continued success.
I will add a star because 2 does seem cheap. It was decent pizza.

Excellent pizza! Worth the drive from wasilla every time. I’m working my way through the menu but the T-​Rex is the best so far. Best crust in Alaska.

Either everybody had a different pizza than I did or people are way to comfortable with $ 5 dollar frozen Walmart pizzas. The sauce is ok, crust is terrible, and the toppings were about the only redeeming quality of this pizza. Just because you charge $ 22 for a large pizza does not automatically deem it gourmet! !!

OMG. This places has the best pizza that my tastebuds has ever had the pleasure of tasting. My husband and I really enjoyed the Super Gyro and the Aloha Aloha pizzas on two separate occasions. Both pizzas we delicious. The atmosphere is very quiet, romantic and cozy.(It was in the peak of winter).I would most definitely go back to Humdingers when in Palmer.

The best pizza place I’ve visited in Alaska. My go to place for getting a good pizza near home.
Staff is extremely friendly and always willing to help.
Meat Lovers will enjoy the T-​Rex and Cheese Lovers will appreciate the Tour de Wisconsin. Remember to finish it off with the cheesecake in a half shell!

Sad to say how quickly this place went downhill. Guys? Look at your empty dining room! They went to these terrible parbaked crusts that just ruin it for me. And I really wanted to love the Man-​gherita but chorizo is not the right meat choice for that variety (at least for me). This chorizo seemed only to add grease to the dish and it was definitely not gastro friendly.
This review is dated wrong. It was September 2014, not June 2015. Unilocal must have redated it when I went in to fix a typo.

Waited forever for our pizzas, and when we asked for an ETA we were told they forgot about our order. 90 minutes later, we opened the box and they were the wrong pizzas. I’m all for family owned local establishments, but this place did not have their act together.
The pizza was mediocre. If you think this is the best in the valley you must not eat out often.

One of the best pizza places in the Valley! The Bruschetta is delicious and the pizzas are phenomenal! Order a side of their homemade balsamic to drizzle on everything… it will make your life better! Now the service, on the other hand, is not the best (this is where the 4^th and 5^th stars were lost). On several occasions we have just been left sitting at our table wondering if our waitress had fallen down a black hole in the back, never to be seen again. All in all it’s a great little restaurant with delicious food!

Great choices for pizza. Toppings are awesome. Crust is average at best, and the crust makes the pizza. Service was a bit slow. Also tables had not been wiped down between customers. Good atmosphere for families. With Pioneer Pizza and Pizza Delphi nearby they may have trouble competing unless they improve the crust.

The best pizza I’ve had in the valley. Crust is good, sauce is good, toppings are ample. The don’t make it gloppy and messy like some pizza places that call themselves gourmet.
Kinda small dining room, but I guess it works for them.
We will be back for sure.

We went in today on a recommendation from a friend. We had the queso and flat bread which was DELICIOUS. We also had the T-​rex, but that was a hard choice given all the options.
The crust is definitely not a Pizza Hut pan pizza type crust. it’s thin and crisp but not crackerlike. There was just the right amount of sauce and delicious toppings. What we took home was delicious even cold.
The atmosphere is nice, the staff was very nice… definitely a place we’ll be going again.
