NOME, Alaska -- A pizza to go from Airport Pizza may do some real traveling.
The pizza joint offers the only delivery service in Nome. But the deliveries can be far longer than a few blocks. Airport Pizza delivers to remote Eskimo villages 100 or more miles away.
Pizza is a welcome break from whale, walrus and reindeer eaten by the villagers.
The pizzeria has even delivered to the Arctic Ocean town of Barrow, the northernmost community in the U.S., 500 miles to the northeast.
Air delivery usually doesn't cost anything extra. Frontier Flying Service flies the pies for free to villages on its regular routes.

Personally, I'd make the pizza on the plane.

Don't they need ovens or microwaves for frozen pizza? Doesn't sound like a good idea to have a oven in a igloo.

I'm guessing this pizza is $50.00 at least. No 5-5-5 deal there.

Barrow has its own pizzeria. Been there. The pizza sucks. Not surprised they have pizze delivered from Nome.
Oddly enough, Barrow also has a Mexican restaurant. That pretty much bites as well.

Dasher would probably want to get a plane with a closed cockpit, but there may some potential for some teamwork here.
