Inside the White Horse Hotel – A Slice of History

Dark Horse Pizza proudly operates within the historic White Horse Hotel & Saloon, one of Spirit Lake’s oldest and most iconic buildings. Dating back to the early 1900s, the White Horse has long been a cornerstone of the town—hosting travelers, loggers, and locals for generations.

What was once a rowdy saloon for frontiersmen is now a gathering place for families, friends, and foodies alike. As we breathe new life into this landmark with fresh flavors and modern hospitality, we also keep its rugged charm alive. The White Horse is a place where stories live—and we’re proud to be part of its next chapter.
