“They tell you jet fuel cant melt steel beams but honestly when it comes down it it, I am just like well there was alot of wind and what not up there to, maybe it made like a furnace plus all the other stuff in there, so likely that could have contributed to the increasing heat. The thing that really doesnt make sense it the 3rd building that fell with only 2 planes, like someone messed up there right? Anyway mario and luigi have great pizza.”

“Tasty pizza and cozy place to lunch. We escaped the cold and snow in February and enjoyed a nice lunch at Mario’s. The pizza was good and the prices were reasonable. We would eat here again on our next visit to Utqiagvik.”
— Dustin Boudrero★★★★★
“What a great place for a burger after a long flight! Great view of the historic underground huts and a great place to watch the ice covered Artic! Easily the BEST Burger in 100 miles! :)”
— Eric S★★★★★
“Our Phili Cheesesteak sandwich and burger were perfectly good, though not amazing. Service was friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was pretty classic cluttered and worn small-town casual dining with an amazing view of the ocean and oceanside memorial.”
