Nescopeck is hiding a pretty delicious secret that, if you don’t live in the area, you may not have yet discovered. Out of the doors of a tiny shop, on 3rd Street at Oak Street, leaves a steady stream of pretty happy people, holding what has been referred to as pizza that is simply “addicting.” Polock’s Bar-B-Q & Pizza in Pennsylvania should absolutely earn a spot on any food lover’s bucket list.
Polock's Bar-B-Q & Pizza may also serve barbeque but it's famous for its pizza. In fact, those who have had it before willingly stand in line, even in frigid temperatures, to pick up their pizza pie from Polock's.
The no-frills tiny restaurant, with no seats, is take-out only. It's so popular that customers are advised to order their pizzas at least an hour in advance. But, there's something else that makes this pizza shop so unique.

Denny and Pearl Briggs joined the pizza business in the mid-1960s and, in 1971, they opened their first pizza shop. But, what made Denny & Pearl's business so unique is they didn't just focus on their brick and mortar shop. They also took their pizza stand to state fairs and carnivals throughout the summer. And that's where Polock's becomes even more unique.

Polock's Bar-B-Q & Pizza only has hours in its tiny Nescopeck shop on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from November through May. But, that doesn't mean you can't satisfy your pizza craving all summer long.

But, back to that tiny shop in Nescopeck. Plan ahead of time when you will order your pizza because Polock's gets incredibly busy when it's open. Hours generally run from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Polock's pizza will cost you a bit more than your average pizza chain. Bring cash with you (no credit cards or checks accepted) but make sure you don't have a bill larger than $50 or you'll have to run to an ATM or leave empty-handed.
