The waitresses were quick to seat us and friendly, yet attentive. Checking if we needed anything and if the food was good. Now on to the pizza, it was delicious! The flavor of the sauce was perfect, it was flavorful yet not overwhelming. The definitely don't short you in the toppings either. My only disappointment was the price. I got a salad and it was basically just lettuce for $7. Way over priced for how small it was. I felt the pizza was a little on the high end, $30 for a "12. All in all I am sure we will be back for the pizza, will definitely skip the salad.

Good food, great service. Nice clean dining room and restrooms. I'd stop here again while in town.read more

First of all, I realize that it is Mother's Day and they might have been busier than normal. If…read morethat's the case, staff accordingly. You've been in business for years so you should know that Mother's Day brings in more families. Secondly, at no time was the place more than 2/3 full. There wasn't a line or standing room only. Let's talk about the service. There were two waitresses that we saw. We will call them Waitress A and Waitress B. Waitress A was our waitress. At least we think she was. We barely saw her enough to be sure. The hostess had to come to our table to ask if we had menus. We had to stop Waitress B as she walked by so we could get bread and oil that every other table got when they sat down. Twenty minutes after we arrived we were able to place our order. As we waited, we watched the table beside us place their order, eat, leave, had a new group of people sit down, order, eat, and get ready to leave before our food arrived. Plus, we were a table of three, but we watched a table of eight come in fifteen minutes after us and get their food before us. What did those two tables have in common? They were waited on by Waitress B. Waitress A was only seen when she had something in her hands from the kitchen. Apparently, she waits in the kitchen and brings out food as it gets ready. What she doesn't do is stay in the dining room to check on her customers. My daughter flagged her down to get a refill of Dr Pepper, she brought back a glass of Sprite. Those aren't even the same color. Just for the record, by the time we left, we didn't see a single table of Waitress A have a single dish of food other than bread and oil. Time for the food. And by "time for the food", I mean 45 minutes after we ordered it. I'm writing this review as soon as I got home because I will not remember a single thing about the food tomorrow. It was mediocre, at best. I can't remember every dish that was listed, but I do remember reading most of them trying to find one that didn't include spaghetti. There are better noodle out there! About the only positive thing I can say about this place is that it was clean. Oh, and also it was a little cheaper than most Italian restaurants in the area. Next time, I'll pay more for better.

What a great lunch! I stopped at a new restaurant (to me?) in historic downtown Van Buren,…read moreArkansas "The Hive." I chose a chicken salad croissant. The croissant was flaky, fresh and tasty. The chicken salad was very fresh and flavorful. It was very creamy - so if you don't like a heavy creamy base - it might not be for you - but it was great for me! I also had a broccoli cheddar soup. It was outstanding. It was hot and the broccoli had substance but was not hard or rough. The consistency of the broccoli was just right! I was offered a sleeve of Ritz crackers along with my soup and silverware. I washed it down with a seltzer and really enjoyed my meal! I would recommend a stop for soup or a sandwich or any of the many snacks/grab and go products offered!

I requested a ham and regular sausage. I was told that there was a sausage pizza on the buffet, but they would make me a ham pizza to go with the sausage that was already there. The ham came out & it wasnt the typical looking ham you'd find on a pizza, but rather looked like the ham you'd get out of a baby food jar....it so diced & chopped up so small that a snail wouldn't choke on it! Food & plates were brought out to the buffet lines with bare hands and it looked like a contest to see how much maximum coverage that the individual could touch with their bare hands before leaving the buffet area Then, while there were still customer eating from the buffet, one of the servers felt the need to run a vacuum right next to the buffet!

The place looks a little divey which I believe is a good thing for a pizza joint. However the interior is neat and clean. Not a fancy dining room... Maybe a little reminiscent of the old Pizza Hut days. Brittany, our server was a real delight. Chatty without being intrusive... Told us about the 52 year history and the family that started and currently runs the store. She has been there for 24 years and that says a lot about a restaurant. They have a beautiful salad bar (there's that Pizza Hut vibe) although we didn't partake. Our pizza was thin and a little crispy around the edges without char. No flop. Plentiful cheese and toppings and just the right amount of savory sauce. I preferred it to NYC style pizza but just a little short of our favorites in Rochester, NY... So overall really good. We love trying new places when we travel and Pizza Parlor did not disappoint

The customer service was 50/50. A really bright and…read morefriendly young man answered the phone and took my order. And a grumpier young guy was the one who handed it to me. The pizza I had was much better than any fastfood pizza I've ever tasted. I did a 50/50 with bacon and cheddar and the meat lover options. The bacon and cheddar was very good, the meat one not so much. The parking lot is a dimly lit and the building could use some updating.
