There are several Positive Pie locations, but I believe this is our favorite. Why? Answer: incredible hamburgers and unforgettable fries. Very friendly service, and we can’t wait to go back.

The best of the best pizza… perfect crust… not too thin or too thick… and tasty toppings such as white pizza w garlic and spicy sausage… have been several times and it is always consistently great… Like New York pizza without leaving Vermont…

Ok, first, their food is very good, especially their pizza. Brunch is excellent as well. The folks there are very nice too. I have one problem with their pizza; they only serve small pizzas (12″) and they charge, by area, over 55% more than their other locations that serve 15″ pizzas. If you are a group (two or more people) it really makes sense to eat at Positive Pie in Montpelier, or Parker’s Pie in North Glover. They both have excellent pizza (Parker Pie in my opinion being a tad better). Paying more than 55% more for the same amount of the same quality pizza doesn’t make sense to me.

This place was a super nice surprise. We had just done a tour of the Cabot cheese factory and had about a 2 hour drive back home. Stumbled upon this place, and we were not disappointed. A few of us had pizza, which was great (love the crust) and others had burgers and a Reuben. All good, plus they had a great beer selection including Heady Topper! Also had very friendly service. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

We began with a 30 minute wait before we got our drinks. Those drinks were weak and expensive. The waitress was kind but the cook staff was very slow. The manager spilled dressing all over my clothing. When we received our dinner order — it was incorrect and because of this they refused to serve another drink to my friend (because she hadn’t eaten) although our other friend had been served 5 drinks with only an appetizer as a dinner.
Our bill was adjusting adjusted in an attempt to make some amends. We will not be returning g or recommending.

When in Plainfield (or in the vicinity of it), eat at Positive Pie! I stepped into this place, expecting the food to match the surrounds — comfortable, casual, country. Instead, was incredibly surprised by the top notch quality dining that is served in a very homey, neighborhood watering hole.
We debated between some rather interesting pizza selections that featured ingredients one doesn’t find too often but settled for the bruschetta to play it safe. That pizza was by far one of the best I’ve tasted across many many trips to many many foodie cities. Simple, healthy, delicious — perfect pizza!
My carrot-​ginger-​butternut soup presented in a pretty and oblong bowl was rather good too.
Positive Pie manages to blend a very urban fine dining experience into a very country environment — a wonderful Vermont dining find.

This is a gem of a place in Plainfield, VT. The staff is top notch! Shout out to Benny, Ben, and Sammie. They even rescued a lost dog and found the owner after working all day!

I had avoided positive pie for the past year or so because of some less than stellar meals but was recently convinced by a girlfriend who works there to give it another go since they had improved the food a lot. I’ve eaten there twice in the past few months, and both times the food was way better than it had been on previous visits. the first time I had a pasta dish that was tasty, but a tiny bit on the bland side, all the sides were great and the chicken in it was perfect. The second time we went was on valentines day and the steak I ordered was amazing, perfectly cooked and with great flavor. I’m glad I gave it a second chance.

When you’re staying in Plainfield, (I know, not a lot of places to stay), this seems to be the center of Plainfield’s world, both socially and foodwise. Yes, it’s a very small town.
We had the carcass pizza, which was fairly well loaded with some great meatballs, spicy sausage, and quite tasty pepperoni. Very good crust, tasty sauce, nicely melted cheese.
We also had their putine, which was a first for this California boy. Great cheese curds, duck gravy, (another first for me). I enjoyed that also.

Maybe I just chose wrong — the pizza I had was pretty plain on flavor. Ordered the one with walnuts on it, which sounded awesome.
Just did not live up to the hype and the price tag.
Positives:
Waitstaff was nice and ready to help, no issues there.
Nice bar set-​up.

Very good, but not great. I think the pizza may have been a bit higher quality than Parker Pie (I was there the day before), but it is smaller. The tap selection while broader (more options) and good, it didn’t have the heavy hitters of the aforementioned.

Great place to have a drink and eat pizzas around that area.
Will recommend to share the pizza since one while was quite big for me… unless you are a big eater!
Great crispy pizzas served on a hot plate and a great customer service. It’s true that we waited awhile for the food to come out but other than that I liked it. Probably will go back to taste other pizzas when I’m back in Vermont.

Barre, VT
I SO want to love this place, living 4 miles away, with very little else available within a 20 minute drive. The potential is great, but in actuality, it falls woefully short as a decent local hangout, or as a dining «destination». In theory, all the local brews on tap and the NY style pizza has great potential, and the actual setting is pretty cool, but the poor service, the chintzy portions, the cold fries and the mushy pizza more than offset any positives. I’ve never sent back so much food in my life! Too bad. Attention to detail is sorely lacking. They try to be hip and trendy and local this, local that, but to me, good food for a decent price, with attentive service, is where it’s at, and this place don’t got it.
I will give it a few more tries, and update as time goes by.

We stopped by around 830pm en route to stowe from a vacation in quebec city. Friendly service and good food. Excellent braised beef pappardelle and at our neighbor’s suggestion (they were the makers of the ice cream served here), we tried the bread pudding with ice cream. The ice cream was soft and delicious, almost like a semi freddo.

After enjoying the Hardwick location we hit the Plainfield location for a beer and snack, what a different experience…
Tap list on both walls was entirely old so the guy handed us the current list on paper, which was fine but all were non-​Vermont beers… believe me I like Sixpoint, La Gunitas etc. But what the hell happened to the vt beers… that is why we come… that is what positive is known for…
No crafted cocktails like Hardwick and the staff overall looked like they smoked a community bowl after the lunch service… overall vibe of lazy, the damn beer lists are chalk boards,
an eraser and some chaulk we can have this done in 5 mins…
Wings were average at best for $ 10, «hot» was barely even mild… need to rethink that sauce and two carrot slices and two celery slices… did the celery commodity mkt just spike? Is there a carrot shortage?
Compared to Hardwick, this place needs a real kick in the ass to get their $hit together.

The food is good. As far as Plainfield goes, it’s few & far between that you’ll find a place like it.
My Meal:
I had the carcass pie. Lots of meat. Go for it if you want a belly full of it.
The calamari salad was really nice. Crispy fried, nicely salted. Good balance on the sour vinegar and lemon.
The pickle plate was also very nice. I liked the touch of picked beet slices & garlic. Yum.
I was disappointed by the lack of kambucha, on top or in bottles. I want it!!!
I don’t drink alcohol, so when I go to a watering hole like PP, I’m impressed by their menu of food and jealous of the gorgeous long list of beers. But not for the alcohol. I just wish more good food places could offer fun kambucha or infused teas, maybe a side menu of coffee treats? :)
just a though. For Plainfield, a little engine that could.

My boyfriend and I have only been here a few times. We either sit at the bar and have a beer or grab a slice of pizza from next door and eat on the curb. To sit down inside and eat is wayyyyy too expensive for this area, in my opinion.
I would have given a higher rating, but the arrogance of the staff is extremely disappointing. Every staff person that I have come into contact with here acts like it is such a difficult task to perform their job.

The first word out of my mouth after taking one bite of the pizza was «Wow!» This tiny hole-​in-​the-​wall spot makes the best pizza I have ever tasted.
The pizza is NY-​style: very thin with a tantalizing, crispy crust. We ordered one slice of their warm, gooey cheese and one slice of delicious tomato-​pesto. Looking back, I wish we could have gotten more.
Service at the counter was very friendly and fast.
A true gem in Vermont! Would gladly come again.
