We were on the hunt for vegan Connecticut pizza and couldn't have been more happy with this place! We got the Strega Nona pizza and added hot cherry peppers and it was amazing! The crust was perfectly done and all the flavors were so good together. We also ordered fries and couldn't believe the size of the portion. Easily a $10+ portion anywhere else. The service was quick and friendly and the place is super cute. Perfect place to stop on the drive back to PA from MA! read more

The Parlor - The Strega Nona - Pizza Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

I've been hitting up pizza festivals and kept noticing the Parlor truck there. I finally wanted to check out the place and try their pizza in person. The Parlor makes artisan brick-oven pies, with a menu that mixes classic favorites and unique creations. When I walked in, I was greeted and seated right away. I ordered a half-cheese, half-pepperoni pizza. It was ready in about fifteen minutes. The crust was good--crispy with lots of flavor. The sauce was solid, and overall, it's a pretty tasty pizza if you're nearby. read more

I've been wanting to check out the parlor since I saw it on instagram and it was even better than it looked. Went with the family and all 6 of us loved it. The pizzas are unique and we each had a different favorite slice. Service was great and they put two tables together for us. I love that they have a counter to sit at. The Parlor and The Roni are stand out pies for sure!!! If you're a lemon chicken person the Florentine is so different. You really can't go wrong here. Also we got the fries and they were great. Will definitely be back. read more

Grabbed a quick personal pizza here for lunch, and was pleasantly surprised. The thin crust and little char on the bottom was delightful. Did a pick up order which was ready in no time, the inside had plenty of seating if you choose to dine in. read more

The Parlor - Loaded Potato - Pizza Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

Parlor is a nice pizza spot in Stratford. They have many Food Blogger fans and I decided to visit after a trip to nearby Two Roads Brewery. Parlor seems to specialize in creative individual-sized pizzas. Not that the pizzas are small, but Parlor is the type of place where everyone would order one pizza and share. I ordered creative pizzas like the BBQ chicken and Loaded Potato, but you could get more traditional pizzas as well. The crust had some New Haven char, but otherwise, the crust didn't remind me of New Haven. Maybe because the pizzas are individually sized. The outer crust had a different vibe. Almost pastry-ish with good chew. Otherwise, the crust was more crispy, but not overly so. Parlor's execution of the toppings was above average. But for me, neither pizza was in the top tier for places serving similar pizzas. Parlor was good and I would return if I was in the area. Four Stars read more

While the pizza was decent ... we paid $30 for a 12 inch pizza... 2 toppings. This was a tiny pie ... like a personal pizza. I thought the price was outrageous... when o questioned the girl at the register she said that since I ordered online the 15 dollar pizza turned into a 30 dollar pizza ... so my advice is ... don't order online ... call in or order in person. Will not be going back ... read more

Just adding a few comments to my review from yesterday. I will not order from there again. The half sausage was hot sausage which was not stated in the choices and I do not like it all. The crust was thin, which I like, but there was not enough sauce and cheese on it to make it moist. Just unsatisfactory and not like what I am used to at a couple of my favorite places in the area. Thank you anyway and good luck. read more

Amazing pizzas, especially the chicken with spinach and lemon... Wow! We also enjoyed the orange float and surprisingly terrific fried Oreo which was more like a donut... Fantastic! read more

We love The Parlor. For to go with some new friends tonight and they loved the pizza as much as we did. Perfect char on the bottom and such a great crust. Their sauce is fantastic. Tried a few new pies today and was impressed by all of them. One of the pies is fully vegan and my friends said it was also fantastic. They make a cashew cheese in house and it makes all the difference! You know we will be back! read more

The Parlor is a New Haven-style pizzeria that opened in Stratford, Connecticut in August 2020. It was founded by Mackenzie Carey. A lifelong resident of Stratford, Carey and a group of his friends dreamed of bringing a fresh take on the New Haven experience to the Stratford area. Once Jerry's Shakespeare Pizza closed down, Carey jumped at the chance to make the space his own. Unlike the traditional New Haven-style pizza options (or "Apizza" as it's called in the local New Haven-Italian dialect), the pizza pies at The Parlor have an 'artisanal' spin. Carey installed a brand new brick oven kit from Italy to cook his pies. The menu also offers vegan pizza options, which will add a whole new clientele that are unable to enjoy traditional pies. My family and I recently stopped at The Parlor for lunch. We previously tried their pizza last summer at the first Connecticut Pizza & Brew Fest and we were very impressed. Ever since then, we were looking forward to trying out their pizza at their brick & mortar location. The interior of the pizzeria was cozy and the staff were friendly and inviting. After looking over the menu we decided to order a few different pies and share them. We ordered the "Margherita" (San Marzano tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, basil, garlic, EVOO), the "Florentine" (white pie, lemon cream sauce, spinach, garlic, chicken, mozzarella), and the "Rebar" (onion, garlic, mozzarella, burrata, pepperoni, hot cherry pepper, prosciutto, truffle honey). They were all fantastic and that crust was so thin and crunchy! My personal favorite was the Florentine. A friend of ours highly recommended their vegan pies, so we also ordered the "Cherry Bomb" (garlic, hot cherry peppers, mushroom, house cashew mozzarella, plant-based mozzarella, hot agave). This pie was also very tasty and we never would have guessed that it was vegan. We washed everything down with some locally-produced Foxon Park White Birch Beer. For dessert, we couldn't say no to some delicious "Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Cannoli". We had a fantastic experience at The Parlor and look forward to returning! read more

Terrible!! It took 45 minutes for a single small pizza. They prioritize take out over sit ins, and it is quite over priced.

Went in for a bite, terrible overcooked pizza and overall was a bad experience. Will not be coming back.

the parlor is for everyone to experience ! especially those who have specific restrictions such as being vegan! Ive loved the Parlor for many years! even my baby won't eat any other pizza besides them. such a pleasure to brag about a great pizza place! always welcoming with a warm seat waiting for you . welcoming to everyone they can't wait to see you there ! read more

Recently had the chance to check out the pies at Parlor. It was trivia night so had ours placed to go. My BF ordered his standard cheese pizza and I decided on pepperoni with truffle honey (if you haven't had honey on pepperoni pizza you are missing out!) After my first bite I exclaimed "Wow!". This pizza was so good and perfect. Plenty of toppings, crust and char spot on. Sooooo good and this place can certainly compete with the New Haven apizza heavy hitters. Can't wait to come back to try more pies! read more

This place is so unique. Super thin crust. Not your run of the mill 'za joint. All the pizzas are their own creations. The Shakespeare and BBQ Riccota are the bomb. The brick dome oven is the key to their artisan pies being so crisp and light. Hats off to Mack and his team for great food, fast service, and a nice bar and seating area. read more

When we heard there was New Haven style pizza in Stratford, we had to come see what it was all about! I was impressed by the thin, light crust and the amount of variety on The Parlor's menu. Some of our personal favorites were The Florentine and The Buffalo Chicken. The Parlor really nailed the presentation on every pizza as well. Their salads were fresh, and the fried Oreos were great for dessert. I think it's great how many vegan and vegetarian options are on the menu too! A very casual place to come hang out and enjoy pizza. Wishing them continued success! read more

Stopped in tonight. Was going to the brewery down the street and needed a quick bite. Was deciding between this and the diner and made the wrong choice. Sat at the bar and waited for what felt like an entire lifetime and no one asked us for our order or handed us a menu. Finally I went and found a menu myself. Once I decided what I wanted I had to flag someone down to beg them to take my order. The staff seemed like they would rather do anything on earth instead of taking my order. Ceaser salad was pretty good. Wings were beyond average. Shocker I had to essentially beg to pay my bill and find someone to even give me my bill. Pass for me. read more

Great new place. Is it new? I don't know, I've never seen any advertising. Still took 45 minutes for a pick up order on a Friday night, so they are doing something right. It occupies the spot that formerly held Jerry's Pizza for many years. The renovation looks great inside, they did a nice job on a tired, dated space. Beers on tap too if that's your thing. The pizza menu is interesting..... good flavor combinations with a lot of vegan options. I tried the Shakespeare, a white pie with fresh tomato, eggplant, garlic, and fresh mozzarella. 12" pie was a little more expensive than others but when you bite into it, you realize that extra dollar was well spent. Crispy but not hard crust, chewy, slight char. Put this on your list. Is it the best pie in town? I don't have enough data to say, but it's up there. read more

They have the best vegan pizza I've had, and they are unique selections and always fresh. My favorite is the strega Nona and my husband's is the spicy bbq but we both also love the cherry bomb.

Pizza is edible . Service is eh could be better. One oven. Poor people have to wait. Good selection of beer. Only foxon park soda. 4/10

A small pizza joint serving up flavorful pies! They also over vegan options with is hard to come by especially for pizza. The salads were fresh and delicious! All of the pies were really good but I would say the Buffalo chicken and mashed potato were top favorites! There is a decent selection of wine and craft beers and of course carry good stuff, Foxon Park. A unique menu item that I haven't seen before was the fried cauliflower and wow that is tasty! Lastly a surprise of fried Oreos that really sealed the deal. read more

When I walked in was welcomed with somber Gregorian chants. the vibe was weird and depressing and I hoped the pizza wouldn't be as bad as it, I couldnt be more wrong. The pizza was not good and the crust had a fungusy taste and texture. I went to the bathroom and I was met with with an atrocious smell. The walls where lined with skid marks of human feces. The soap dispenser was empty which made me unable to wash my hands and I had to eat with germ infested hands. read more

After placing a pick up order and being told our order would be ready in an hour and 15 minutes, we ended up waiting over 1 hour and 45 minutes. It happens but that wasn't the only issue. The people who run this place are extremely disorganized and rude. They are visibly rude to each other - often barking at each other regarding orders not to mention also to customers. Not a great formula for success. When we arrived, 1H15min later, to pick up our order - they seemed taken aback that we were there. They started to question the time we placed our order. Turns out our pizzas were still cooking so went ahead and paid. When we mentioned one item we ordered wasn't on the bill - the woman ringing us up turned to another man in the restaurant and shouted at him to make it - no apology for forgetting. On top of that, her partner appeared visibly frustrated with this request. So they had forgotten to make it and we now had to wait an additional 15 minutes for this. Wouldn't have been the worst thing had it not been for them making us feel as if we were inconveniencing them. To top things off, one of our pizzas looked like it had bite marks. Obviously they weren't bite marks but areas where the dough had teared prior to them placing it in the oven. Someone tried to cover it up with toppings. Ofcourse when they removed it from the oven they would have seen a torn pizza. Unbelievable that they would still attempt to serve this to a customer and get away with it only because it was a takeout order. We are not coming back. I would steer clear of this establishment. Save yourself the headache. Plenty of other options in Stratford for Pizza with much friendlier service and quality. read more

This is my favorite pizza in Stratford.... The perfect crust ... fresh and delicious ingredients!

By far the best pizza in our area outside of New Haven. We had heard great things and finally got a chance to order for delivery. All the pizzas were delicious but our favorite by far is the chicken Florentine pizza. The crust was well cooked and thin on all the pies. Can't wait to try their other specialty pizzas! read more
