ISLAND PARK — Nestled near the Henrys Fork along Highway 20 in the heart of Island Park, you’ll find a bustling pizza and ice cream parlor serving delicious food and tasty treats.
The Parlor at Mack’s Inn opened two years ago in front of the SpringHill Suites by Marriott. Justin Hamilton owns the restaurant, along with Cafe Sabor across the river. He hired Freddy Berecartu to run both eateries and serve tourists all year long.
“I’ve traveled a lot in Europe and my parents are from Venezuela,” Berecartu tells EastIdahoNews.com. “They opened a pizzeria about 40 years ago and we met Justin about ten years ago. We brought together Idaho, Europe, South America and combined it all together for good food.”
The Parlor specializes in authentic pizzas using a dough recipe that’s been in Berecartu’s family for decades. His brother, also named Freddy, is the head pizza chef (interesting sidenote: Berecartu’s parents named all three boys in the family Freddy. And the dog’s name was Fred). Everything is cooked at 550 degrees in a stone oven.

The Parlor at Mack’s Inn is open all year round – not just in the summer. Hours vary depending on the season but right now you can grab a bite to eat and some treats between 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Monday thru Thursday and 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Friday thru Sunday.
“If you’ve never tried us before, you’re going to have an authentic pizza in the middle of nowhere. Pizza is all about art and everything we make here is fresh on that day. You’ll love it,” Berecartu says.
