Classy looking place. Food looks good, and (I'm guessing here) prices aren't that bad for San Francisco.

Once upon a time Pia's used to be a real brick and mortar store in downtown Anchorage. I had the pleasure of going there a few years back, and meeting Pia. I see from their website that they have closed that location, but they remain in business as an online entity. They still look like they have a nice array of Scandinavian goods."

The place is an honest-to-God windmill. Looks like they have a wide variety of high quality Danish collectibles, focusing on Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl plates.
