Good place to go for ice cream, located on "top of the hill" in Derry. Pete's Scoop offers a combined 61 flavors of hard ice cream, sugar free ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sherbet, plenty to choose from. Soft serve ice cream, waffle cones, sundaes, splits, colliders, Richie's Slush, freezes, frappes, floats also available too. The ice cream is pretty good. My favorite hard ice cream flavors are the Toll House Cookie, Banana, and Mississippi Mud. This popular summertime place has outside takeout windows, order at one window and pickup at the next window, to keep the lines moving. The prices are on the moderate side including the hard ice cream cones/cups (3 sizes at $2.75/$3.45/$3.95 before tax), large sundaes ($4.95) and brownie sundaes ($5.50). CASH ONLY. If you need some cash, there's an enclosed ATM across the road in the strip plaza.

Great place to hit a bucket of golf balls and grab an ice cream. Prices are reasonable and they serve Richardson's ice cream!

Great ice cream. Easy in and out. Crowded on hot days but worth the wait. Always happy to see them…read moreopen in the spring

As far as ice cream parlors go, Moo's is legendary amongst Derrians (not sure if that's a term…read moreused, but I'm going with it) for their high quality, damn near luxurious style of frozen pastries. If I could describe Moo's in only two words, they would be: quality control. Funnily enough, I rarely go here. In fact, I haven't had the Peanut Butter Cup ice cream in YEARS! I had nearly forgotten how smooth and creamy their ice cream is. The way they can make vanilla ice cream also taste peanut buttery is a feat familiar only to magicians and wizards. In other words, their stuff is just THAT good! Ultimately, I'm glad wifey talked me into coming back here on a whim. It's just that I'm hardly ever in the mood for dessert of any kind. But every once in a while....I get a sweet tooth for something with peanut butter in it. And now that my taste buds have been reminded of the elegance this ice cream effortlessly carries, I think I can manage to find an excuse to come here slightly more often. Only problem is they're mainly open during the warmer months. But....I totally get why. It's just a shame I failed to take a pic of the ice cream, since I was too lost in the abyss of ecstasy that was my sweet treat. Besides, I didn't want it to melt. Ah, well. Might remember next time. One last caveat: they don't really have their own parking lot. So, you just kinda....pull into one of the adjacent lots on either side of the place and hope you find a spot. Mildly dubious parking aside, I'm gonna give Moo's Place in Derry 5 Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cups smoother than a Milky Way out of 5.

Despite geographically being further from my house, I think I like this Moo's location more than…read morethe one in my hometown of Derry. And I'll tell you why: the parking. See, if you're familiar with their Derry location, then you'll understand how annoying their parking situation is. I mean, it's practically non-existent, par from the 5 or 6 tiny little spots inconveniently situated a mere two feet from an otherwise busy street with active traffic. So basically if you park nose-in, have fun trying to back out safely without inexorably causing an unprecedented collision. Suffice to say...that isn't the case here in Salem. I may start coming here from now on if I'm driving from home. Because the ice cream quality is basically the same, 'cept I don't have to dodge cars whilst parking just to acquire the tastiest of ice creams. Oh, and I thought I should mention they DO accept Apple/Google Pay and credit cards now. Or rather....they probably have for some time now. I read an earlier review that mentioned them only accepting cash and that they had an interior ATM on the premises. Never found that ATM though. But it didn't matter. That earlier review was over 7 years old. Yelp really oughta update the amenities section on this place. Anyways, the parking lot is big enough to fit a G6. So, if you want to go to a Moo's that's more accessible via car, come here. At least you won't have to stand in a line of people that damn near trails out into the middle of a busy street. What can I say? Sometimes it really is about the simpler things in life. Moo's in Salem gets 5 regular sized creamy Peanut Butter Cup ice creams out of 5.

Stopped here on a whim, and was really happy I did…read more They have a beautiful outdoor seating area. There is a lot of space, grass, and trees between the benches and the road. I was a little confused by the signage and misunderstood the "order from outside" instructions as the dining room was closed to customers. While you order from the window, you can also sit inside in the AC (not that I would have wanted to on a licley day!) Huge parking lot, so there no issues with parking.
