Hungry Robot just landed on Guy Fieri’s top six pizzerias in America list. .

Getting that kind of national attention doesn’t happen often up here.

This isn’t just hype either. The place is known for creative pies and a different kind of vibe you don’t usually see in Alaska.

Hungry Robot originally got recognized by Fieri back in 2021 with their “Dilly Dilly Pickle Pizza” but making the top pizzeria list is an upgrade. When a spot like this gets recognition, it pulls attention straight into Fairbanks. More visitors, more curiosity, and more people adding it to their list.

Back in 2021 business saw a 40-50% increase within the first month of making it on Guy Fieri’s show “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives”, and owners are prepping for business to get busy again now.

With wait times already on the rise, Hungry Robot is looking to bring on more staff to help feed the hungry crowd.
