Not a huge fan of Italian food but gotta give it to Parla, their food is good! You can tell by the presentation that whatever you order is going to be divine. Bread & Things : Olives (Taste like pepperoni! P.s not a fan of olives but these were good !) Parmesan (drizzled with honey) Started: Chopped Salad (so good) Sandwich: Crispy Chicken ( So freaking good, get a side of pesto to add on it .. chefs kiss) Dessert: Pistachio Gelato ( tastes like chocolate) Now the people sitting next to me ordered a pizza and the chicken Milanese salad, let me say that salad looked delicious, definitely gonna try the next time. Their pizzas look pretty good as well. The atmosphere is real nice, cute for a date, solo date, or 2/3 friends. The servers were so nice and friendly. read more

Delicious and fun little place in upper west! Came here for lunch after a museum trip. The pizza was yum, but the pasta was amazing! Was so hungry I forgot to take a pic, but I would try a salad/pasta combination next time. The service was super friendly and accommodating. The soft serve is a must try. It is so rich and flavorful. I thought I was way too full for dessert, but somehow finished the whole thing! read more

That was probably the best pizza I've ever had! The hot honey pepperoni was amazing but the crust was in a field of its own!!

This pizza is just OK. Crust is a little thick and not crispy enough, sauce is tasty and flavorful but insufficient in quantity. Cheese is light and good. Pepperoni has flavor. read more

From the moment you step into Parla, it's cozy and inviting. It has a warm and calming atmosphere and let me tell you, the hot hunny pizza is absolutely fantastic! They use fresh ingredients, so you can be sure you're getting a high quality taste. We had a great time sitting at the bar, the bartender was super attentive and explained their menu. Their sparkling lemonade and spritz were so good. Highly recommend. read more

Parla is amazing, I loved everything I ordered, which included pizzas, pasta and salad! My favorite thing I ordered was hands down the hot hunny pizza, everyone at the table absolutely loved it! Parla can get very busy as the place is very popular and a bit in the smaller side (but cozy), so make sure to make a reservation before you go! read more

I had been meaning to try Parla for a long time and made a reservation for two on a Friday at 7:15pm. We arrived right on time and I'm glad I had a reservation since two people ahead of us were told the wait time for walk-ins for 2 was around 1h45min. This is a small, intimate-feeling, high energy place that has a very cute neighborly vibe. Every table was full but despite that somehow the place had the perfect level of noise where it wasn't overwhelming but added to the vibrancy. We sat at the bar which was a lot of fun because the bartenders were amazing people with a lot of great recommendations to share with us. My fiancé ordered a Negroni which had the perfect balance of sweet and bitters. For food we shared: - Parla Chopped: this salad was probably one of the best salads I've had in a restaurant in NYC and I would come back in a heartbeat just for this. The flavors and textures in it were just insane. The Tuscan kale was earthy and hearty, the calamari were perfectly crispy and added hints of that seafood umami which paired perfectly with the tangy onions and olives. The goat cheese added a creaminess that was so subtle but balanced everything out. Finally there were little hints of spice from the dressing which gave it a little kick. I appreciated how complex this salad was and also how fresh all the ingredients were! Def order this. - Little Nicky: a friend of mine recommended this pizza to me so we got this as our one round pizza. The flavor profile of this was a little overwhelming for me, especially because the pancetta is very salty and fatty and I am just not a huge fan at baseline. I did not expect them to be so generous with how much the put on it but there was really a lot in there. That being said, the ricotta was very creamy and helped balance out the saltiness. The sweet and spicy jam that they add also gave it a little twist that was very good. The dough itself was phenomenal! The pizza had that perfect crisp and the crust was also amazing which just speaks of how good the dough is. Definitely want to try another round pizza next time I come. - Westside Supreme: I know everyone raves about the hot honey but this pizza is severely underrated. We got this as our square pie and I was blown away about how good it was. Crispy edges and fluffy inside, generous amounts of a delicious and fresh tomato sauce, all topped with prosciutto and burrata with hints of basil: this is all I dream of in a pizza. The flavors were amazing and the quality of the ingredients was out of this world. Highly recommend this one! - Dessert: we were hoping to try some of their traditional soft serve with pistachio but we happened to coincide with their one year anniversary so they had a special dessert. For the night, they served a toasted almond gelato with a chocolate shell and rainbow cookie crumble. The soft serve was delicious, the toasted almond flavor was subtle and went very well with the cookie crumble. The chocolate was dark and a little bitter to balance everything out. The textures were very good and the portion was generous. Overall, loved this spot! They have amazing pizza and use only the top ingredients. The ambiance is perfect for a night out with friends or a date. Highly recommend! I definitely will be back to try more pizzas and get their pistachio gelato! read more

My kids and I came across this place while heading back to our hotel after a long day of sightseeing. This place has an energy to it and I could feel it as we walked up (I instantly thought, what's happening over here and can I join?) This is a classy yet laidback pizza spot! The vibe of this place is non pretentious (even though it's nice enough to get away with it if it wanted too.) Their pizza and drink offerings are creative and fresh. We were greeted as soon as we stepped in and the host was very friendly and accommodating. We had a short wait (it took a little longer due to me requesting inside seating (their outside seating was nice as well.) Our waitress was very sweet and attentive and explained to us their different offerings on the menu. Our family eats pizza all the time and we're pretty basic when it comes to toppings but we couldn't pass on this one and weren't leaving New York without trying their square hot hunny pizza! Pizza is a personal thing and everyone has their own idea on what makes a pizza great but this pizza was thick yet light, cheesy, fresh, creamy and a little spicy. You have to try it to truly understand. This isn't a large place but they make great use of the space. They have various styles of seating from tables, bar area to a communal table that surprisingly still feel intimate. I could see myself coming here for a date night after a movie for a bite and drinks. I would highly recommend checking this place out. I live in the Bay Area and I already miss this place!

This place was amazing! My friend and I sat at the bar and the service was great. There was a 20 minute wait on a weeknight, but it was worth it. The caesar salad was lemony and fresh and the pepperoni meatballs were so good. The pasta was buttery and citrusy. All in all would come back. The inside was super cute and cozy. I have an allergy to nuts and sesame, and they were very accommodating. read more

Great food. Literally everything we ate was so good. We started with salad and broccolini. The broccolini was really tender and had great flavor. The arancini was crispy and also was so good. The green machine pizza was healthy and not too heavy. The vodka sauce pasta was also really good. The dessert was amazing. Loved the texture of the soft serve. The spicy marg was really great. Would highly recommend this restaurant read more

Hot take: this is my favorite pizza pasta place in New York! I came here after seeing it on TikTok and I was floored by everything we ordered. We got Catchy O's, Hot Hunny, and the Lumache Pomodoro. All absolutely fantastic and delicious. My favorite was the Lumache Pomodoro -- the flavor was so delicious and pasta was cooked to perfection. Hot Hunny pizza was also delicious, more like a flatbread than pizza because the crust was so pillow-y. Ambiance is perfect for a date night or just a cute dinner with friends. Absolutely would recommend and will be back read more

I kept seeing Parla in my social media so I had it bookmarked for a while. It's in the upper west side so it's super out of the way, but I happen to be at the natural history museums so decided to pick up some pies on the way home. I ordered the hot hunny (square pie) and the Roni (round). When I went to pick up, the place looked busy! It was a cute spot too. I'm typically a square pizza girl, but I actually liked the roni better. It was perfectly cooked with a crispy crust and just the right amount of pepperoni cups. The hot hunny was good. It had calabrian chili honey which gave it a kick, but I found the crust a little too soft for me. Overall, pretty good pizza! Would come back if I was in the area again to try some other pizza combos. read more

Amazing flavors and service. Had a traditional New York pizza, another with peach jam and a Hot Hunny square pizza. All were so flavorful, balanced and had great textures!! read more

omg the food is soooooo good. The catchy o's are so delightful - I've never had fried spaghetti balls and these were done perfectly. I do think 5 for the price is a bit cray tho. We ordered the eggplant parm square pizza and added hot honey on top. Wow. Beyond tasty. The square pizza has such a nice crunch to it and it's very airy. They keep the establishment very clean especially the bathrooms. And our waitress was so sweet and gave food recs when ordering. read more

I would highly recommend making a reservation if you're thinking about going there. It's pretty busy, but very easy to get a reservation the same day. I looked around 10 AM and booked a reservation for 12:15 PM on a weekday. Once we got there, it filled up very quickly. The servers were very good and attentive. The pizza was really good. The mushroom pizza was interesting and worth trying if you like mushrooms. It was a thicker pan pizza style crust topped with a ricotta and lots of sliced mushrooms. For us, the highlight was the mafaldine alla vodka. We ended up ordering a second one to share as well. It was very flavorful and the right amount of spiciness. I don't know if I would categorize the New York style pizza is the best I've ever had, but it was really good. The crust was on point. It's a very lively restaurant with a moderate noise level, but we never had to talk really loud to hear each other. read more

One of the most amazing pizzas I've had, 9.2 on the Dave Portnoy scale IMHO. The crust isn't, light, airy, buttery, and heavenly. We had a mushroom pizza that was so good and we added basil and a pesto to further make it bliss. The cocktails were fantastic as well. read more

Dare I say best square slice?? Found this gem on my walk to Central Park and wow the hot hunny square pizza was undeniably good. I live in Brooklyn and would travel for this pizza.

Omg this place was SO SO good!! Probably one of my top places to go to in UWS area. - Hot Hunny Pizza: 100/10 (mouthwateringly good. The crust is super crispy, the spiciness helps balance out the richness of the cheese, and the pepperoni slices weren't too salty) - Vodka Pasta: 10/10 (creamy and slightly spicy-- just a fantastic pasta overall) - Burrata: nothing special, but what more can you ask for Burrata - Espresso martini: 10/10 (perfectly balanced) Service was good, and ambiance was cute! The tables are a bit close together though so it does get loud. read more

This is unequivocally our favorite place on the Upper West Side! We sat outside on a gorgeous spring night. The host and staff are gracious and attentive.

Finally tried Parla! Always busy so I wouldn't think of coming here without a reservation. We sat at a communal table. Luckily we didn't have anyone next to us for most of our meal but when our food came it got a little too crowded. We ordered the broccolini, the Burrizza pizza and the Upside Down square pizza. Loved the upside down! The crust was so crispy and airy. I could see myself ordering a pie to go. The burrizza was okay; I wasn't a fan on the sweetness that the balsamic gave it. The service was great. Host was very courteous and helpful when I called prior to coming in to ask about their cheeses. Our waitress Hasana provided excellent service. She assisted me with questions pertaining to my dietary restrictions and was attentive enough. We never felt rushed. read more

The food was absolutely fantastic! We walked in early on a Saturday evening and had a small wait to be seated at the bar. The ambiance and place was hopping. (Both for in person and takeout). Started with the marinated olives and catchy o's (their version of arancini) as well as some of the most delicious broccolini that I've ever had (perfectly done and seasoned). Capped off the meal with an amazing Upside Down "square" pizza - reverse constructed on "foccacia" like crust. Highly recommend. And if you can make reservations, do! read more

We went for lunch on a weekday during the holidays. The host and server at the bar were both friendly and attentive. We got the Burrizza and pepperoni--we absolutely could have shared one, but we eat with our eyes and couldn't resist trying both. Both were delicious, fresh, with quality ingredients. Lots of great cocktail options--I had the Hot Honey Margarita with tequila, mezcal, calabrian chili, honey, bitter orange. Not a huge mezcal fan, but it was balanced and refreshing. read more

NYC - Ordered takeout. Great pizzas, pasta and salad. Tried their pasta, clam pizza, burrizza, calamari salad, etc. I enjoyed the burrizza (burrata pizza) a lot! It's a little oily from the pesto but the mozzarella was good. The clam pizza was okay, nothing like how New Haven would make it, it's not bad nonetheless. Their pasta with pink sauce was delicious! Salad veggies were fresh as well. read more

After some morning at the American Natural History Museum we wanted some lunch nearby and found Parla. They had a bit of a wait but we walked the neighborhood and one we got back were seated immediately. Service at the bar was quick and simple. I know they filter their water here and I simply have to call out how tasty that was too. We opted for a tomato pie and spaghetti midnight style with anchovies for lunch. Super delicious, wish we lived near here to come back regularly! Thank you to the team at Parla for a great experience! read more
