    Our table on the patio

    Fabulous location! Sitting outside initially, food soon! Soon we'll get our pizza's & pics coming! Sorry! Ate it all too fast!‍

    Margherita Pizza

    We were seated and greeted quickly. Drinks arrived quickly. We then placed our order for pizzas and a chopped antipasto salad. The salad was outstanding! The perfect amount of dressing and the portion was enough to serve 3. The timing on the pizzas was very good. They showed up just we finished the salad. We got margarita pizza with spicy sopprasetta and a how stracciatella got her groove back. Both were hot, fresh and had great flavors. Would definitely recommend but be prepared for slow refills on drinks.

    Wonderful place downtown to grab some drinks and food. Their menu has a lot to offer. We tried their classic sgt pepper pizza and they had an option to make it heart. Very delicious and big enough to share you two people. We also had their calamari which was great and came with 2 really good dipping sauces. Cesar salad was also good and also had fresh croutons. Server was amazing. Constantly checking on us and very sweet. The manager also came up to us to check how we were doing. The restaurant is very large on the inside and a lot of table. Very loud though but it fits the vibe.

    Such a fun spot for pizza and great service! It's fun inside or outside and the menu is always solid. Came here on st Patrick's day the last two years and always have a great time! There is a lot of space so tables tend to turn around quickly even if it's packed. Pizza is thin crust and fresh, and I've also gotten a salad here before and enjoyed it!

    Went here for HH with the office crew! My first time and wow the pizza was amazing! Finally some good pizza was had in Chicago! For HH, it's BOGO on the pizza which is a smoking deal! We ordered pretty much each pizza! The cheesus, Mary and Joseph pizza was incredible! Wow! That was my favorite! Our server was awesome! The place is great for large parties which is so much fun to do. The space is accommodating to that. I can't wait to return!

    Parlor Pizza Bar has been on my list of restaurants to try in Chicago the last three times I've been and so we made it a plan to finally come and try it third time around! They had an abundance of seating outside and inside and had such friendly staff. It was happy hour around the time we ate and so we got two pizzas for the price of one as well as two cocktails! For Pizzas we got the Cheesus, Mary, and Joseph and Sgt. Pepper. The Sgt. Pepper was definitely our favorite! For cocktials, we got the Don't Be A Prickly Pear Margarita and Conor 42 Spicy Margarita.

    Stopped in on a Friday evening with some friends without a reservation around 730pm. We were told there was a 45 minute wait and they'd text us when our table was ready. We walked about a block away to grab a drink. Within 10 mins we got a text that our table was ready. Our server was great. He was very attentive and friendly. We started with a round of beers and a large caesar salad. The salad came without any dressing by mistake. By the time the server came back, he brought our pizzas. We told him about the salad and took it back to remake it. It came when we were halfway through our pizzas. Salad was great and the Parmesan crisp it came with was amazing! The pizzas we got were the garlic cheese one and the aunt Chilada pizza. Both were delicious, but that aunt chilada was my favorite!! Our server also brought us a comped dessert to apologize for our salad being wrong and then coming after our pizzas were mostly done. We got the s'more's taco. It was sooooo tasty! Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back.

    Just came here for a late-ish night dinner. We requested to sit outside because it was extremely loud inside. I like how they have heaters available which we requested to have turned on. We weren't too hungry and we mainly came for drinks so we ordered 2 beers and a Brussel sprouts to snack on. The beer was very cold, crisp, and refreshing. The Brussel sprouts were pretty disappointing though. The flavor was good but they tasted like they were undercooked so it was pretty hard to chew. Also it was not crispy and was pretty soggy. Hopefully I have a chance to come back and try their pizza.

    Top Recommendations: Honey Boo Boo Pizza, Abe Froman's Fave, Balsamic Glazed Fried Mozzarella Plarlar Pizza offers an amazing happy hour deal--buy one get one free pizzas and $5 appetizers. We ordered the Honey Boo Boo and Abe Froman's Fave pizzas, along with a happy hour-sized Balsamic Glazed Fried Mozzarella to share. Both pizzas came straight from the oven, hot and flavorful. The Honey Boo Boo, topped with garlic, cheese, honey, rosemary, and onions, was my personal favorite. My fiancée loved the Abe Froman's Fave, a classic choice with sausage, fresh mozzarella, red peppers, and spinach. The Balsamic Glazed Fried Mozzarella was also a standout. The tangy glazed vegetables added a sour kick that paired perfectly with the richness of the mozzarella. The service was a bit slow, but the food was excellent and the prices were great--and that's what really matters.

    How Stracciatella Got Her Groove Back, Margherita Pizza, Hot Chix

    G (o) -- Go for the pizza and drinks! or for the Corporate happy hour, your choice. W (ow) -- Always shocked by how addictively good the Hot Chix Pizza is. A (mbiance) -- Very loud, rowdy, and corporate - so many backpacks and collared shirts at every other table. Service was rushed and felt like they were trying to empty out tables for corporate events. (-2 stars) M (enu) -- Best item was the Hot Chix Pizza - cannot beat this pizza for its spice level (Nashville hot chicken supremacy!), balanced with savory and rich aioli and cheddar, with a needed crunch from the pickles and onion.

    My partner and I came here on a late Thursday afternoon during their happy hour. It was the best pizza in the city in my opinion, at least for Neapolitan style and their happy hour specials, the best in the city! We were sat down immediately and it's a very spacious restaurant. Our waitress was attentive and nice. We ordered their Cheesus, Mary, and Joseph and Abe Froman's Fave. The cheesus, Mary, and Joseph were super rich and delicious. The ricotta cheese along with the garlic and mozzarella made this pizza heavenly. I'm surprised how pronounced the garlic was in this pizza, I love garlic and it was noticeable (usually at other places it's not so much) but I enjoyed it so much. Definitely try it with red chili flakes and oregano to bring it to a whole new level. If you like white sauces pizza and lots of cheese, this is your best friend. I would order this pizza again! The Abe Froman's Fave were our favorite because it was a complex pizza with different flavors and textures. It had sausage, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, and spinach. Everything worked so well together perfectly, every bite had something different so it was delectable. Definitely would get this again. Both the crusts of the pizzas were baked to perfection. It was charred beautifully, the crust had a nice chew, and it wasn't soggy in the middle. Highly recommend their pizzas, you won't go wrong with any choice you make. I will 100% come back again! Again, can't beat those happy hour prices.

    How Stracciatella Got Her Groove Back

    The food is good and the restaurant is very large. The food comes out quick and is fresh and hot. I'd say it's more of a dinner place ambiance wise but for lunch it is nice as well.

    We came here for our first dinner out in Chicago, and overall it was a very good experience. The beers were fresh, crisp, and very enjoyable -- definitely one of the highlights of the night. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts, which had nice flavor but could have been a bit crispier for our taste. The atmosphere here is vibrant and fun, with a great vibe for a night out. Service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Overall, a solid spot with good drinks, decent food, and a great environment.

It was mid-afternoon when we visited and I'd gone online to make a reservation prior to our visit, but that wasn't really necessary. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and shown to a booth in the back room...far away from the cold draft of the front door. Our server came over to take our drink orders right away and we ordered a Caesar salad to share. I found it odd that their Caesar comes with tomatoes, but it must be a Chicago thing because I saw that on the menu of another pizzeria that we visited while in town. The salad was delicious and we enjoyed every bite of it. We also ordered a small pepperoni pie (deep dish) and were surprised at just how small it was. It was almost like a personal size...but let me tell you, the personal size is tiny! One slice of the small pie nearly took up the space of the entire personal sized pie that we took home with us. While in-store, I signed up for their rewards program and got a coupon for a free personal sized pie, with some stipulations. It was to-go only and you had to spend at least $10, but our dine-in order could not count towards that total. It had to be processed as a separate transaction. That was no problem for us since we were headed back to our hotel and had a full kitchen there, we decided to order wings along with our free baby-sized pie to-go. The wings were phenomenal. Top tier. A+. Highly recommend! I actually preferred the sausage pie that we took home over the pepperoni pie, and that's not usually my vibe. I think something about the grease in the sausage lends itself to the moisture of the pie. The pepperoni pie was a little dry. Overall, we loved the atmosphere and the service, so we would definitely come back again in the future.
