I got a slice of plain cheese Pizza. It just came out the oven so that was a plus for me. I love freshly made Pizza over a reheated slice.. The slice was great! Perfect. Cooked to a nice golden brown.. Not burnt and not undercooked.. Good cheese to sauce ratio. Sauce had a nice flavor.. A lil sweet.. Had a thin crust with a bit of crisp. The end crust was nice too. Light, crispy and chewy. Pizza guy was straight to the point like an ol school Pizza parlor. Guess if you visit enough and they get to know you maybe they'll chat with you a bit. Who knows.. Anyway, I came for the Pizza and not the convo.. The spot is in a strip mall and inside it's just like a regular Pizza joint. Tables and chairs, the order counter, bathrooms. No music playing. Just a TV showing sports.. Oh.. and signs all over, letting you know that they ONLY take CASH! So make sure to bring that bag with ya! In the end, if you're in the neighborhood and looking for a good slice, check out Amore! It's a good slice. That's all folks! -Ray

I am a very picky eater, and my stomach can't handle heavy foods. My group arrived at the restaurant at 5 PM and were immediately welcomed warmly by Crystal and Insun before being seated. My group was able to get a table right away when we arrived but it does get busy fast especially during their peak hours. Following up, both Sam and Insun helped us with our drinks, such as providing water right away and even taking extra time to listen and recommend what beers/sojus would be best for the foods we were ordering, my group's preferences in alcohol tastes, and what would be best in terms of our alcohol tolerance! I originally came for their pizza, but since I was on vacation, my group decided we could all share different foods. I appreciate Sam's time in explaining their dish specialties and answering all the questions I had. I can say for certain this is one of the best Korean restaurants I've been to! My group ordered their rose pasta, aglio pasta, half serving of soy garlic chicken wings, half serving of sweet and spicy chicken wings, half serving of the mahsil pizza & half serving of their BBQ pizza. The pizza wasn't too doughy at all, and I love how the toppings aren't overpowering each other; plus, the pizza was loaded with toppings. Each chicken wing was crispy and had the perfect balance between sweetness and savory. I came for the pizza, but the rose pasta stood out to me the most! The sauce was very rich and like "melted" right in my mouth. I have a small stomach, but I couldn't stop eating everything my group ordered because each dish was comforting in its own way! Overall, the space is very cozy and lively; the customer service was not only attentive, but extremely kind and considerate of our time! Definitely come during dinner time, as the food is very comforting and feels warm in your stomach!

Our first (and probably last) visit seemed to havd so much promise but was ultimately…read moreunderwhelming. Two things basically undid them. First, staff didn't check on our table once. Then, even more importantly, the pizza was impossibly cheesy. In fact, there was so (disproportionately) much cheese that it practically overshadowed whatever else toppings there were. We had large golden crust half and half pizza with bulgogi on on half and Korean chive on the other. We liked the crusty crust and what looked and tasted like sweet potato mousse which appeared to have been squeezed around the outer edges inside the crust ring. The silverware and crockery, including the stand to lay the pizza on, were all nice touches, so I wish the service and food matched these other elements much more closely. They have a bar and flat screen TVs, and the music was audible but not too distracting. I wish them well.

The pizza had a firm under carriage. Thin sauce. And a thick cheesey top layer. The sauce was a miss for me. It was soupy and didnt have much flavor. It works as a binding element to the firm crust and cheesey layer. Great for the traditional NY fold. After the first bite, the sauce just splattered to the plate. Its an average slice. Decent and solid.

The order came within 20 minutes of ordering. The pizzetta was well done and held up the toppings very well. Was it the best I've ever had, no, I've had better Truffle/Mushroom pies at places like Diamond Slice and L'Industrie. But let me emphasize that the pizza was not bad at all, I felt that those pizzerias did it a bit better and their ingredients felt more balanced. Most importantly, is this pizzeria a travel worthy place to travel long distances to get to; no. But it is well placed for this area of Queens and there are ton of options to order from on the menu that I would have liked more. If they had the clam pie and had it at this size, I'd prefer it more. And if my gastritis would go away please, their regular looks good like the location in Roslyn. To conclude, the Parlor is a good neighborhood pizzeria that has good credentials and good food and you won't go wrong with either ordering out or dining in.

This rat-hole is a "must avoid!" After being recommended as a nice "quick lunch," I almost threw up my lunch after seeing a cockroach climbing on the wall. After asking for a refiund for my one slice and one coke, the old ignorant dolt behind the counter said, "whaaa, there aint no stinking cockroaches here!" I left my plate and cup on the counter and just had to to spit up a loogy! Would never go back to this shthole! read more

This pizzeria has the best pizza I have ever eaten. Their sauce is delicious and their spinach rolls are yummy. You can't go wrong with anything you order in this place.

The owners are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure you're enjoying the food. Definitely 5 stars! read more

Long time delivery customer decided to drop by for lunch last Wednesday. Ordered 2 slices and a coke and sat down at a dirty, greasy table. After my first slice I noticed a large paper-clip sized cockroach on the wall. I could barely hold down the slice that I ate and just threw the rest away and left. Never again am I ordering food from this infested, hole in the wall! Absolutely disgusting! read more

First rule of Pizza places in the NYC area: If you don't see Italian people behind he counter…read moremaking pizza--it's not going to be good. Trust me on this! The reason is this: When I was growing up in NYC there was no such thing as a Pizza place not owned by Italians--no one would go in there if Italians were not behind the counter. And they made the best pizza and that is how NY got the reputation of having the best pizza. Many of them were immigrants from Sicily. It's not like that anymore because the children of those Italian owners born in the USA did not want to take over the pizza business when their parents retired--they went to college and became lawyers and doctors, etc. So today--most pizza places in NYC crank out bad pizza because they are conglomerates that look like neighborhood pizza places, but are really large LLC's, with central kitchen commissaries trucking in pre-made foods and cans and they hire anyone but Italians to make pizza. Domino's is better. I don't think in Manhattan anymore you can find quality pizza. Again, just look at who is making Pizza in those places. SO, I was giving my niece a tour of my old "hood," and after she said she wants to get some Pizza or something in Gino's around the corner. I discouraged her because the last I was in here, years ago--the old Italian owner sold out to an LLC because his kids did not want to run it and the food was at best a 2 star--it was bad. My niece insisted--I warned here again it may not be great. But I deferred to her request and on our pass earlier looking in the window it looked like some quality people were behind the counter so why not?--let's give it another shot. I ordered the Chicken Parm--always my favorite anywhere. Side Salad. It turned out to be one of the best Chicken Parm I have ever had--best food this place has seen in 30 years! My niece got some concoction of pasta and meat sauce and it tasted great too she gave me some to try. I had to quiz the waitress about what is going on here: She tells me Salvador bought the business about 2 years ago and he employs about 4 chefs that prepare all the sauces and ingredients regularly and even the salad dressing. She says the chicken is not frozen and is breaded fresh. In a neighborhood pizza place they are prepping food the same as a high end restaurant and bring it to table at reasonable prices in a very comfortable atmosphere with polite service and free parking. That is why I gave them 5 stars! I would definitely come back here again next time in the area. In contrast--Most pizza places in the Los Angeles area use canned sauces and frozen chicken and it tastes awful. Most pizza places here have investor absentee owners that don't get their hands dirty are are just going through the motions. You have to pay $35 to $40 for a quality chicken parm in LA the same as the one in Gino's for $25 and I still think Gino's may be better.

There weren't many options available and I didn't feel like ordering a big pie from a franchise when I just needed satisfy a very rare midnight food craving. When I looked online, Daro's popped up and it was within driving vicinity of where I was. They were getting ready to close up when I walked in - a guy was literally already mopping the floor - so they quickly put together whatever they have left into a box for me and I got it at a discount. Customer service 10/10 I really wanted to like the food especially because the guys working there were nice but I was actually left slightly disappointed. It was just okay at best. The Hawaiian one reminded me of lunchables for some reason. Cheese + ham + canned pineapples just don't make sense to me (according to my dad, I used to like it very much as a kid but I don't remember that). The combination was very underwhelming and confusing to my taste buds. The slice with the spinach, olives, and pepperoni surprisingly was best out of all 3 (fun fact: I don't like any of those ingredients) but at least it was savory and palatable. I left the broccoli and chicken one alone because it did not look very appetizing to me. I saved whatever I didn't touch for my roommate. I would not have gone for any of those options at my own will on any given day... I'll just leave it at that. I would still probably return because I'd like to give them a second chance and try their other options to see if it would be better.
