If you love taking road trips and eating pizza as much as I do, head to The Parker Pie Co. in West Glover, Vermont. Based in the Northeast Kingdom, this one-of-a-kind small-town restaurant is worth the trip from anywhere in the state.

The Parker Pie Co. attracts hungry diners seeking comfort food classics like nachos, wings, burgers, and a variety of pizzas. Along with the delicious dishes on the menu, Parker Pie Co. is a staple in the community and known for having live music, hosting themed events like trivia, and much more.

The Parker Pie Co. is a labor of love that started in the early 2000s as a pizza shop at the rear of Lake Parker Country Store.
