    Personal deep dish pepperoni pizza
    chevon a.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Just came here for a late-ish night dinner. We requested to sit outside because it was extremely loud inside. I like how they have heaters available which we requested to have turned on. We weren't too hungry and we mainly came for drinks so we ordered 2 beers and a Brussel sprouts to snack on. The beer was very cold, crisp, and refreshing. The Brussel sprouts were pretty disappointing though. The flavor was good but they tasted like they were undercooked so it was pretty hard to chew. Also it was not crispy and was pretty soggy. Hopefully I have a chance to come back and try their pizza.

    Balsamic Glazed Fried Mozzarella

    Top Recommendations: Honey Boo Boo Pizza, Abe Froman's Fave, Balsamic Glazed Fried Mozzarella Plarlar Pizza offers an amazing happy hour deal--buy one get one free pizzas and $5 appetizers. We ordered the Honey Boo Boo and Abe Froman's Fave pizzas, along with a happy hour-sized Balsamic Glazed Fried Mozzarella to share. Both pizzas came straight from the oven, hot and flavorful. The Honey Boo Boo, topped with garlic, cheese, honey, rosemary, and onions, was my personal favorite. My fiancée loved the Abe Froman's Fave, a classic choice with sausage, fresh mozzarella, red peppers, and spinach. The Balsamic Glazed Fried Mozzarella was also a standout. The tangy glazed vegetables added a sour kick that paired perfectly with the richness of the mozzarella. The service was a bit slow, but the food was excellent and the prices were great--and that's what really matters.

    How Stracciatella Got Her Groove Back, Margherita Pizza, Hot Chix
    Jessica C.

    G (o) -- Go for the pizza and drinks! or for the Corporate happy hour, your choice. W (ow) -- Always shocked by how addictively good the Hot Chix Pizza is. A (mbiance) -- Very loud, rowdy, and corporate - so many backpacks and collared shirts at every other table. Service was rushed and felt like they were trying to empty out tables for corporate events. (-2 stars) M (enu) -- Best item was the Hot Chix Pizza - cannot beat this pizza for its spice level (Nashville hot chicken supremacy!), balanced with savory and rich aioli and cheddar, with a needed crunch from the pickles and onion.

I will note that we ended up waiting an additional 20 minutes before actually being seated and the pizzas have up to an hour wait if the restaurant is busy, so we actually got our pizza at about 9:30 PM. Cheese Corners: Some extremely standard triangle shaped cheese bites. Did come out piping hot with a good crunch and cheese stretch, which was nice, but definitely felt like a Sysco-esque appetizer. Deep Dish Pizza: The crust actually had almost a nice crisp at the bottom and a ton of cheese. Tomato sauce had amount of sweetness and they're very generous with the toppings. Overall, if you don't go crazy on the toppings, it's a solid deal and definitely a top tier deep dish experience. Just make sure you have a reservation and that you aren't in a rush.

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.

I got there and there was about 15 people in front of me in line. The hostess was really nice and because I was there by myself, she called up to the bar to see if there was any seats at the bar so I didn't have to wait. I found out that Chicago style pizza takes about 45 minutes to cook, but I was willing to wait. After about an hour I asked where the pizza was, and they said "we lost it". Although I was disappointed that I had waited so long , they were accommodating and apologetic, and took ownership, which I really respected and appreciated. They said they could get me another pizza quicker than 45 minutes, so in total I waited about an hour and a half. They asked me if there's any appetizers I wanted for free or drinks and because I didn't wanna fill up before my pizza and I had already had a salad , I declined. The pizza came out and it was absolutely delicious. Was it worth the wait? Because I didn't have anything else that evening for a while that I needed to do, it was worth it. If I had been in a rush, it would've been a different story. The hostess, the bartender/waiter and the manager were all very nice and attentive.
