In an Android project I have this kind of alert dialog:
I want to replicate this in Windows Phone 8, however I haven't been able to find a suitable plugin/widget to do so. The list itself is populated by SharedPreferences.
My plan for Windows 8 was to use Isolated Storage Files to grab the required entries, is this the best way?

It looks like you want to display a list to the user and allow them to pick an option </clippy>
If that is the case then you can use the ListPicker from the WP Toolkit. Install the nuget pack and use as such:
<toolkit:ListPicker FullModeHeader="CHOOSE LOCATION" ItemsSource="{Binding Cities}">
<toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Margin="0,20" TextWrapping="Wrap"
Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}">
<Run Text="{Binding Description}" />
<Run Text="-" />
<Run Text="{Binding Quality}" />
</TextBlock >
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker>
