Parker Pie (West Glover)
A true Kingdom Gem, with excellent pizza and pub fare, beer & wine, and events including live music, trivia, and movie nights. The Parker Pie Co. started as a small pizza shop in the back of the Lake Parker Country Store. While it is still a little pizza shop in the back of a country store, the quality of the food and the community atmosphere has turned it into a favorite eatery and pub for locals and seasonal clientele alike. The Parker Pie Co. is a foodie destination not to be missed. In addition to the famous pizza, their revolving beer menu features both Vermont brews and the best fermented beverages from around the globe. Grab a 'za to go and enjoy at your cabin or pull up a seat at their bar and enjoy a brew or two. The outdoor seating area is charming and great for spreading out with large groups and/or kids!
Positive Pie (Hardwick)
Positive Pie is situated right in the heart of downtown Hardwick. They are known for their pizza, but their menu is actually quite vast and delicious. With a spacious bar, and plenty of patio seating options, Positive Pie serves as a great pit stop for lunch or dinner!
