Spinach & Ricotta Calzone
Ian W.

This place is a hidden gem! Located in a quiet residential neighborhood on a hill north of the railroad tracks, Jesse's Little Kitchen is a small takeout eatery and catering business offering pickup service at the front door. The food offerings include pizza, calzones, pasta dinners, sandwiches, subs, wraps, salads, quesadillas, and custom cakes. The prices are pretty reasonable. On a sunny afternoon, I happened to be in the neighborhood, so I decided to stop by to order lunch, parking on the street next to shrubs. I walk up to the front door area (pickup & pay-cash only), which had a table with a buzzer intercom and hand sanitizer for customers. It took a couple pushes of the buzzer, then I was helped. I ordered a Spinach Calzone ($9) with side of sauce (meat sauce I chose) and was told to come back in 30 minutes to pickup my order. As I was waiting outside near my vehicle, other customers were also stopping by briefly to place and pickup orders. As quoted, 30 minutes later, my calzone was ready and boxed to go. I took a short drive to the lake down the hill to enjoy my calzone. The calzone was thick and heavy filled with plenty of ricotta, mozzarella, and spinach filling in a firm fresh baked homemade pizza dough pouch, lightly browned outside. The meat sauce for dipping had a good zesty flavor. This is definitely one of the better calzones (with ricotta filling) I've had in New England and I believe I definitely made the right call stopping at Jesse's for takeout. Note: Cash only

This is one is tough to review. For its location, it probably deserves 5 stars but take the…read moreproduct and serve and place it in any major city and the rating would surely be much less. The beer menu is undoubtedly awesome even in a sea of awesome beer menus in northern VT. Given its proximity to hill farmstead, they get their share of beer connoisseurs here and no one walks away disappointed. Throw in the fact that they are kinda in the middle of nowhere and it seems impossible. Kudos to Parker pie for their beer procurement! The pizza this time was just OK. BBQ chicken had hardly any chicken but the crust was nice and crispy. My previous 3 visits felt like it wasn't quite as busy and the food came out better and hotter than this particular time. We went on a Thursday and it wasn't slamming but the back bar was pretty full and they had a parking attendant to help you get to a spot in the small lot. There was an open mic but no one stepped up while we were there. The back bar area is pretty tight. There is some outdoor seating as well. Everything was fairly clean and the staff were attentive and polite. In the end, I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars but am rounding up because the beer menu is so good. If you're in the area, it's definitely the place to be but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to go there since it's a bit off the beaten path.

You'll see a general store - Parker Pie is the red building on the back side. It has lots of pluses. First, we enjoyed the open-mic night with live music on Thursdays from 6pm-9pm. Second, the pizza was OK but the salads were superb (the blue cheese was from Jasper Hill Farm in Greensboro, VT). Third, Hill Farmstead beers are on tap (which were very high quality). On the minus side, the "back bar" area had limited seating (it was quite crowded). Service was OK. You must order first and pre-pay at the front (giving your name and seating location), then wait for the staff to bring your pizza and salad to you. Be sure to pack your patience - it can take a while for the food to arrive if it's crowded!

They have large parking lot so we parked and head on over to the entrance. It's amazing large establishment with wooden lodge style interiors and some outside patio seatings as well. They have a huge stone furnace for the pizza. We were sat down right away as it wasn't too busy. We got the pick two lunch where you can choose 2 between soup, salad and mini flatbread. I ended up picking vermont maple sausage flatbread and soup. Soup was tomato base with some cheese. Strong tomato flavor and some acidity with saltiness of cheese coming through. It was good but maybe a little bit of cream or milk might balanced it out better. The pizza was pretty good. Can see the char from wood fire. Saltiness of cheese and hint of sweetness and savoriness from maple sausage pairs well together. Dough was bice and chewy and crispy on the crust Service was good and server was nice and attentive. Overall it's a solid place to enjoy wood fired pizza made with local ingredients. Good place for lunch or dinner. If you go for lunch Monday through Thursday the take two lunch option is a good value.

They recommended them for their homemade meatballs. So 10 of us went over there for lunch today and we ended up meeting the owner of the restaurant, David and they had some really exceptional Service. It was like right on top of everything. They took their time they took our order separately had no problem right and separate check since it was like a 10 of us was five couples. we also tried a Caesar salads as well as the pizzas. We had the sausage pizza because we had the homemade meatball appetizer and then everything was just really delicious. We ended up meeting some folks in the next room. Because they had a beautiful buffet set up and it was just amazing how excellent it was looking. I mean the food all smell fantastic come to find out the young man explained to me that they were actually there for their aunt service that she had actually passed away in January 2024, but she had been a professor and her husband has been a judge and so he already passed away so what they did was they took her ashes all over the world they came from England and Ireland. They took her ashes like five different places of the six different places over the past year so they could take and have a party with each one of the family members a friend who couldn't make it to one place or the other All at the same time so then they just brought her back here and they buried her this morning with her husband in Mawn Phelia in the cemetery and they were having the app party for here afterwards I just thought that was like the neatest thing to do for anyone. And they seem like very very nice people so it was kind of cool. I would definitely go here again. I would definitely recommend it as a place to go. We were able to eat on the patio on the front porch of the restaurant of the Montpelier Inn and really it was very interesting watching all the people in the cars and stuff go by and it was just you know it was fun so yeah so definitely make this a destination stop if you're in the town.

This is our new town favorite. Really great pizza, friendly people. We order take out frequently…read moreand it's always consistent and awesome. Really glad to have Penzo's here in Montpelier.
