North Pole & Pizza

North Pole, Alaska is officially getting its first Domino's location on Santa Claus Lane, opening December 20.

Daily Alaska staff · December 17, 2025 · Anchorage

North Pole, Alaska, the Fairbanks-area community built around Christmas, is getting its first-ever Domino's location on Santa Claus Lane. The store opens December 20, bringing a national pizza chain into a town that has largely been mom-and-pop territory for food options.

Residents in the Fairbanks area have had limited national food chains to choose from, so the new Domino's gives locals another takeout option they've been asking for. The owner says demand has been strong for years, and locals have been watching the buildout all month.

The location sits right off the main North Pole corridor, a spot that typically draws heavy weekend traffic. That placement makes it an easy stop for people commuting between Fairbanks and Eielson.

The opening comes as a cold snap stretches across Interior Alaska, making the timing notable for a town where a hot pizza run during a deep freeze fits the local identity.
