Mountain High Pizza Pie in Talkeetna is celebrating a milestone, marking 21 years of serving up delicious pizza pies.
Owner Todd Bosilone, who fondly refers to his establishment as the Purple Pizzeria, began his pizza-making journey at the young age of 14. His unique path to becoming a successful pizzeria owner includes selling his pizzas at Grateful Dead concerts during the 1980s, where his Italian roots and passion for pizza making flourished.
In the early 2000s, a burned building in a prime Talkeetna location became available, and despite being financially strained, Todd saw an opportunity. With determination, and the support of friends, he rebuilt the structure and launched his pizzeria. His pizzas quickly became a local favorite, earning him loyal customers in the small tourist town.
Todd’s dedication to his business and community is evident in the time he spends at his pizzeria. He is deeply grateful for the opportunities he has received and for the support of the Talkeetna community, which has embraced his culinary offerings.
From humble beginnings and overcoming significant challenges, Todd’s Mountain High Pizza Pie has become a beloved fixture in Talkeetna. With hard work, a bit of luck, and the help of friends, Todd has truly earned his “pizza wings.”
For those traveling through Talkeetna, a visit to Mountain High Pizza Pie is a must to experience Todd’s passion and the delicious pies that have made his pizzeria a success for over two decades.
