    Cookie skillet
    Ananya M.

    worst management experience ever. Pizza was good and our waiter was very nice. We got the cookie skillet and it was so burnt on the bottom it wasn't edible. We told our waiter, and asked if they can just remake it for us, not comp it or anything. The manager comes and says, oh you guys ate about half of it (we didn't, there were 4 of us and we had put it in our plates, she could clearly see that it was just sitting in our plates) so we'll charge you half for this and then charge you for a new one, and we were like...why would we pay for this when it's clearly burnt and also pay for a new one. So we ended up just not even getting any dessert and with that experience I really would not go again, there are better places for pizza anyways

    Great pizza, fun outdoor setting, and the service was great! They were busy when we were there but the service was on top of things.

    Pizza restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, but it is consistently packed so a reservation is needed. Unfortunately, the service felt disorganized from the start. Our hostess walked us halfway into the dining area then left us for a bit. Throughout the meal too, staff didn't seem fully coordinated, which led to multiple issues. The seating itself wasn't great either, with wobbly chairs and tables. While they do offer gluten free pizza, the menu notes that gluten cross contamination cannot be avoided. Their gluten free pizza is 13 inches, which they refer to as a medium and was good for two people. Our order also came out incorrectly as a margherita pizza, which we didn't order. When we asked about it, the waitress seemed confused and didn't really answer the question. They were also out of the sauces we requested. The cauliflower crust pizza was flat and greasy, and overall the experience felt rushed. Our table, drinks, and condiments were cleared while we were still eating, only about 40 minutes after being seated. Overall, the experience felt uncomfortable.

    You make me corny pizza. Mexican street corn pizza!  Awesome!

    Stumbled upon this place and sure glad we did. Great little joint doing some crazy good things on thin crust pizza. We had a great local hazy IPA to start followed by a hot chicken pizza and a Mexican street corn pizza. Both were unique and both were amazing. Service was on point! Cool inside bar vibe and the patio where we sat was great. Pizza was delish and creative. Definitely recommend this place.

    Personal deep dish pepperoni pizza

    Stopped in for a quick bite to eat. Ordered the lunch special, personal deep dish and Parmesan garlic fries. Pizza was good. I ordered pepperoni and didn't get much pepperoni flavor but it was cheesy and the pizza sauce is spectacular. Fries were ok but they came out cold.

    Pizza Parlor is a great spot that is conveniently near my office in river north - ive come on several occasions for outings and have always been satisfied with my visits The place is large and can easily accommodate large parties, including a pretty cozy patio area that has heat lamps The pizzas themself are cooked in wood ovens and come out fresh, making for toasty and tasty slices of goodness - slightly pricey IMO for only having 12in sizes but overall perfect for sharing - they're cut into 6 pieces with a decent selection of choices to pick from The happy hour deals for BOGO pizzas and cheap drinks really sell this place as a go to for us when craving pizza! The staff here have always been amazing as well (service reasonably slows down during happy hour periods), only further adding to the pleasant experience each time we come

    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.

    Everything was good. My family and I enjoyed our meal. The service was good, not amazing. We were looking for pizza near the hotel and the Parlor was there. My wife and I enjoyed the hummus platter and pizza. I think the kids enjoyed the dessert bar next door better.

    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.

    Yum

    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.

    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!

    This is one of those places that feels frozen in time -- in a good way. The wood‑paneled coziness,…read morethe dim lighting, the slightly chaotic entryway where a host with a clipboard controls the fate of your evening... it all sets the tone for a meal that's equal parts ritual and indulgence. They push the Mediterranean Bread, and honestly, you should let them. It's enormous, blistered, fragrant, and arrives like a hot air balloon made of carbs. More importantly, it gives you something genuinely delicious to tear into while you wait for the pizza pot pies to emerge from whatever subterranean chamber they're baked in. It's both a starter and a survival tool. A reservation is non‑negotiable unless you enjoy contemplating your own mortality in a weekend crowd. The wait times can stretch so long you could starve to death before your name is called -- and the regulars will nod knowingly as they step around your skeleton. Plan ahead. The salads are comically oversized, the kind of portions that make you wonder if they're meant for a family of four or a single very determined marathon runner. But let's be honest: no one is here for lettuce. We're all here for the pizza pot pie, that molten, bread‑wrapped, cheese‑laden dome of joy that defies every attempt at categorization. It's not deep dish, it's not thin crust -- it's its own thing entirely, and that's the point. This is the place you bring out‑of‑town guests when you want to show them something uniquely Chicago without defaulting to the usual deep‑dish suspects. But it's also the place you come back to on your own, because once you've had that pizza pot pie, it lives rent‑free in your brain until you return.

    Nice service. pizza pot pie is a unique take. takes 30 minutes but worth the wait…read more combo grinder was great. meditation bread was made to be shared.
