Parkview Pizza

Awesome little place! Surprised to experience such good pizza and wings anywhere, never mind 15 miles outside of college town. Fresh, homemade dough, sauce and toppings. An excellent find!

I just HAD to write a review of Parkview after reading "Mags N's."  I, like most people from Spencer and the surrounding communities, have been coming to Parkview since it opened.  It is a FANTASTIC restaurant, with over-the-top awesome pizza, wings, subs, salads, ice cream, grilled & fried foods.  During the summer, they set up the smokers and offer amazing grilled chicken, pulled pork, and/or ribs with an array of side dishes.  We used to drive 40 minutes for food that was never this good!

It is a restaurant owned by a young, local couple.  One, or both of them, is there every day.  The "female 1/2" is one of those rare gems who greets customers by name, knows their favorites before the order, will find the extra seat for a table, will chase you down if you leave your coat, or will track you down if you leave your wallet.  I personally have witnessed her do each of those things, on more than one occasion.  I could not believe "Mags N"'s complaint was about her treatment by this woman!

It is obvious to me that "Mags N." is one of those people who has become accustomed to complaining in an attempt to get free food.   Clearly, it has worked for her in the past (hence her reference to the "male 1/2"'s treatment of her), and she is sooooo mad that it did not work for her now.  I would love to get the owner's side of the story.  Nevertheless, it is a pity that her spiteful  "review" of the restaurant carries any weight at all on yelp.  

A review should be about the quality of food, the cleanliness and atmosphere of the restaurant, and the attitude of the staff.  Stop by Parkview the next time you are cruising through Spencer, and you will not be disappointed.  Once you have had a terrific meal, unmatched in the area, take a second to mention it here, too!  I just hate to see someone with ulterior motives try to undermine hardworking folks running a great establishment in their own community.

Not a pretentious place.  Just offers very good food and excellent, friendly service. And let me not forget that the prices are reasonable. We had a stromboli, which was huge and delicious and their ziti with 3 meats.  They also serve Ithaca's renowned Purity ice cream.  Although "just" a pizza place, probably has the best food in Spencer. We also ate at 2 other places in Spencer, and the food was mediocre, at best.  And that's being charitable.
