About Eskomo Pizza Pies
Eskomo Pizza Pies sits at 3 Highway 61 East, at the corner of Canosia Road and Highway 61 in what passes for downtown Esko, doing pizza, wings, burgers, sandwiches, and wraps for takeout and delivery daily from late afternoon into the evening (accessed 2026-08-13).
It is, effectively, the only restaurant in Esko. In a community with no bar, no cafe, no grocery store, and no city government, that gives one pizza counter an outsized civic role: it is the team dinner, the post-game stop, and the default Friday night for a whole school district.
The name is the community's own, taken from the school's teams.
One important caveat, and it is the reason to read this record carefully rather than act on it. A check of current sources in August 2026 found a different restaurant, TequilaTown Mexican Cuisine, listed and trading at 3 Highway 61 East, and found no current listing, website or map record for Eskomo anywhere in the region. That is consistent with Eskomo having closed or moved, and it is also consistent with a listing error, so this guide is not calling it closed without confirmation. Treat Esko's dining as TequilaTown until someone local says otherwise.
Good to know: pizza, wings, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, takeout and delivery, community institution.
