Here for the marathon and needed to carb load! Read the reviews and didn't come here at first because of the theme of "not worth the price". After striking out at another place, came here and I'm glad we did. All four of us thought it was very delicious! read more

Found out about this pizza place in Yorkville that has been around awhile. It actually is one of the nicer places around it. Parma Pizza Bar has lots of Italian classics as well as modern types of stuff. A busy place when there's some party going on. The place isn't that big so it always seems crowded even with a few people. Coming here it was already crowded. It's usually open for only dinner weekdays so it has limited hours. There's longer hours on weekends. A lot of menu items are common. There's a lot more than just pizza. Also has pasta to choose from. It's about $20 to get a pizza. A ripoff even though it's pretty great. There's plenty of meaty toppings but we got the Spinach Primavera. Also there's a few side items to choose. They have salads if eating healthier. Even these are pretty expensive. There's crazy prices and the portions are crappy to be honest. Great idea to call ahead. It's closed Mondays. They have a lot more than just pizza so check out the other things. read more

This is a quickie. The place looks upscale and is priced upscale. The food? Nothing special. Didn't suck, but not for this price. read more

Met with some friends on a Saturday evening. Busy place but server was at our table quickly to check on apps & drink order. Very comfortable atmosphere & very family friendly. We opted for pizza & a salad which came out hot & made to order. Was good & would come back but not the best Neapolitan pizza I've ever had. Truffle fries were fire, would get those for sure again! Next time will try a sandwich or pasta since that looked delicious and people seemed to enjoy their food! read more

Had a great first time experience here and will definitely be back. The buffalo chicken pizza is amazing! Great flavor and has a fantastic crunchy thin crust. Also loved the chicken Alfredo. It had a yummy alfredo sauce with plenty of chicken. And the garlic focaccia bread they give with it was great as well. Nice looking place with friendly staff and our waitress was fantastic. Highly recommend read more

Staff was welcoming and kind. Food was good. Pizza was really good. Place was clean. Would go back.

Ordered at the same time. Cooked at the same time. Came out at the same time. Inedible. Disappointed. read more

I have to give this new find for us 5 stars. Parma Pizza Bar was fantastic. I loved the rustic decor and the cleanliness. Even the decor by the restrooms was so cute. This restaurant has two bar areas and a dining room. Our server was Grace. So friendly and always making sure we were happy and didn't need something. My husband and I were here for lunch. We ordered the handrolled pork & beef meatballs with whipped ricotta and fresh marinara. The meatballs were full of flavor...just a little softer and they'd be as good as my dad's. The whipped ricotta was the perfect accompaniment, as was the perfectly grilled garlic focaccia bread. They give you plenty of bread with this signature app. My husband had the special pizza, the Windy City 2.0. It had spicy Italian sausage and prime rib with red sauce and giardiniera. He loved it. I had the prosciutto and fig pizza. I nixed the white garlic cream sauce and just had a little olive oil instead. The sweetness of the figs and balsamic with the salty prosciutto was perfection. So delish! These pizzas are fired in a stone pizza oven making the crust charred and bubbly. I will definitely drive the 40 minutes to try more of the menu. Two thumbs up! read more

In short, this visit wasn't the best. Previous time was much better. Took my wife for her birthday along with our 3 kids and my parents. Atmosphere is good. The server, Cadence, was great. We ordered 2 appetizers, bruschetta which was the best part of all the food and cheese curds which were delicious but for like $13 you get 8-10 small cubes. We got 2 draft beers, one old fashioned(needs some work), an iced tea, 2 chocolate milks, and a lemonade. Water's all around as well. Now the food.... My wife got shrimp scampi and while she said it tasted great, it didn't sit well. Maybe food, maybe coincidence.... Kids got chicken strips and fries(2 avg strips) and another got spaghetti w/meatball that were $12 each. $8 would've been fair imo. Next was the steak sandwich's. While the flavor was good, there was almost no meat at all! For a sandwich that was 8+ inches long and about 3-4 inches wide and the bread was 1 inch thick for top and an inch for bottom the meat didn't even cover the bottom slice. I would guess there was maybe half a cup of meat chunks. Was all bread. Def needs more meat. Same for my mother's.... Last was the pizza. My son and step-dad had that as they were looking forward to it. My son had about 3 bites and said it wasn't very good and my stepdad had 2 pieces and neither were impressed. For the prices we definitely weren't impressed, however in the time before the food was better. Maybe just what we got, maybe an off night. read more

Great food. Great drinks, great service and great atmosphere. Never disappointed when we go there.

Two pizzas which are too small for nearly $50. Sloppy, bland, limp mess. This place used to be tasty and worth the price-definitely not anymore. read more

First of all the ambiance is awesome. The wine bottles. On the wall were a nice touch. It has a nice, separate bar area from the rest of the restaurant. The hostess and server were both super nice and friendly. We ordered the dough bites and brochette for apps. The brochette was amazing and super fresh. The bread was warm and fresh and nicely seasoned. Entrees we got a cheese pizza, chicken Alfredo, and chicken Parm sandwich. Chicken could have been cooked slightly more but it was still very tasty. Pizza was very good and the chicken Parm was nicely cooked and crunchy Def be back and highly recommend read more

We have been coming here for years since they opened, it was great then and even better now. I have to give a special shout out to Sam and Allie! These ladies are always so vibrant and truly make our visit a positive one every time. Their hard work shines through with impeccable customer service. That being said, try some new options on their menu too. We have found many new favorites of our own! read more

My mom recently moved to this town. She said that I, even as a Chicagoan, would like this pizza. (She thinks I'm picky or something. Hey, when you've had the best, you're allowed some leeway, right?) Well, here's the thing: ANYONE would like this pizza! What a fantastic place. The pies we had (vodka sauce, margherita) were great. The dining area is fab. Our server (Ali) was an absolute pro. And -- get this -- the power went out while we were there. They handled the ensuing chaos perfectly. All worked out. When I venture out that way again, this will be my first choice. read more

Food is good. We share the chicken parmesan with fettuccine noodle and Alfredo sauce, huge portions. My son likes their chicken barbecue pizza. Everything seems to be pretty tasty there. read more

Amazing place! Great food, friendly staff, and nice environment. Haven't tried a dish here that I haven't liked yet. Best place in yorkville for dinner read more

This is the second time I have been here and I will never dine here again. The food is mediocre at best and way overpriced. We had a server Bee who constantly ignored us. It took 20 minutes to get our drinks and after we placed our drink order, she noticed me glaring at her and came over and asked, "do you need something?" I said "Yeah, our drinks!" This place is way understaffed too. Hire more servers and use better judgement in your hiring choices!! read more

Great atmosphere and service. Our new go-to family place. Pizza crust is amazing! So far everything we have gotten has been wonderful

Samantha was such a great server. Food great as always. Enjoyed the Horologist Sauvignon blanc So much. Never disappointing to hear. read more

Parma Pizza Bar - The Horologist Sauvignon Blanc is a great pairing. - Pizza Near Me - Yorkville, Illinois

Really good service. I wished we came here sooner. The pizza of the month was good but there was so much extra flour on the bottom. Not sure it was because they had so many rolled out doughs ahead of time on the peels already. The salad we had was huge and could have fed four people. Inside the restaurant was really nice and unexpected. read more

Well, we used to be big fans and really enjoyed our meals there. We've recommended this place to others, too. Today, we stopped in for dinner and were taken aback when we asked to sit near the bar (where we have always been sat, and where my husband could watch the ball game more easily). The hostess looked to the manager, who jerked his thumb back at the table we were originally offered by the front window and shook his head at her - clearly indicating that we were not to be sat where we asked. We were there to celebrate my new job, and I've been looking forward to this all week. I don't mean to be dramatic, but it really hurt my feelings, so we left. I would understand if they'd said something, maybe a quick 'hey, we don't have enough seating there' or whatever. I know it's not because kids aren't allowed because we always go with my 9 year old and she's always been welcome to sit with us in the bar area. I can't understand why we'd suddenly be treated differently, especially when it's early in the afternoon and there were very few other diners there. In any case, I don't think we'll be back. This was not the treatment we are accustomed to, and we'll let our friends and family know their service has declined. read more

Super cute spot in downtown Yorkville! Great pizza & craft drinks! The focaccia was also delicious!! My only suggestion (plea) would be for vegan/dairy free cheese to be an option on the menu!! If this was the case, I'd be ordering every night!!!! read more

For a local wood fired pizza place I had high hopes. To cut to the chase I would stop by Walmart and get a Tombstone frozen pizza and save some coin before coming back. The pizza crust was identical to a frozen pizza. If they changed the crust we might come back. read more

Parma is the latest small town eatery trying to give you the urban feel of Chicago out in the western boonies. First they heavily invested in the ambiance. My only issue with comfort is they have way too many bar height stools and not enough regular tables. For the direction they chose I am surprised that regular seating was not more of a priority. But let's talk food! They have a spanking new wood fired pizza oven in the open surrounded by a viewing service area. There are about eight specialty pizzas served only in the 12 inch size (which each serves two - easily). I had the Butcher Block and my wife had the fig and prosciutto. These guys can make a tasty pizza! Great, flavorful toppings with a perfect, crunchy crust. Seriously some of the best wood fired pizza I've had. There is a selection of other entrees and appetizers (we had the roasted pepper artichoke dip - very good) and finished with their dessert special. We had a signature cocktail each and ran up a $60 bill before tip. I liked Parma and will go back. My only concern is their location in postage stamp, downtown Yorkville my eventually work against them. Do check it out though, you won't be disappointed. read more

Parma Pizza Bar - Standard menu - Pizza Near Me - Yorkville, Illinois

We went to Parma Pizza Bar. Spoke to the waitress which was great. I told her that I have a dairy allergy and that I am also vegan. We selected various appetizers and pizza. I requested due to my dairy allergy that all cheeses and sauces be placed on a different plate and my pizza be without cheese. She brought our refreshments and informed us that the chef and the owner said that they will not comply with my request. No clarity as to why. Either we get it as is or don't get it at all. I completely understand specific appetizers can't be altered. Some on the other hand can. I'm thinking they could have complied! They could have offered some type of alternative, but they did not. We found this behavior to be extremely disrespectful. We cancelled our order, payed for the refreshments and left. To be fair they did agree to not put cheese on my pizza... read more

This place is great. The food is really good, chicken Parm sandwich is fire. But I only give it 4.5 stars because it's getting a little overpriced. I guess you gotta pay for the quality. $25 person minimum w a drink but it's a sign of the times I get it. read more

Food is all very fresh and pizzas are wood fire. My favorite is their white pizza or vodka pasta. The vibe inside is old Italy and although it's not large location they did a great job spacing out tables without feeling on top of another group. The service is always great and quick! read more

The pizza was great. Just the right size for two people! Staff was friendly. Family friendly.

They're back!!! Go enjoy you'll be happy you did. Food is great. Love the decor- they are happy to have us stop in as operations following COVID REOPENING takes place. read more

Great Pizza, but their Cheese Curds and Mac and Cheese are also off the chain good. Great place to eat as a date night spot or with friends and family. The service for me and my family has always been exceptional. The pizza oven working as the main focal point as you walk in is pretty damn cool too! We always have a great experience at Parma!! read more

Honestly, this place is absolutely delicious! We wanted a Burger next door but the wait was over an hour! We decided to grab a soda and appetizer while we waited but the appetizers were so good we decided to stay! I HIGHLY recommend this place!! read more

This is exactly what we needed in yorkville! The wine specials on Wednesday are awesome. The wedding soup is delicious and I can't figure out how to make it at home so we keep coming back. Ashley is great! Always so cheerful and happy to answer any questions we have! The hosts are always super friendly as well! I like when they have the outside up. read more

We went there twice. The first time was a few weeks ago. Waitress was scarce and busy socializing with other employees...so much so when our food finally came it was cold but she dropped it on the table and ran away so fast it was too late to tell her. She never came back and after waiting for her for a few minutes we had to ask another employee to get her. When she came back... finally, she asked how everything was. At this point we'd already eaten half of the pizza. When we told her she blamed it on the "kitchen staff" for not telling her it was ready. As if it wasn't her responsibility. The owner was very nice and offered us a gift card for the pre tax cost, we found out later, of the pizza we ordered. The second, and last, visit was last night. Service was slow though the server, again, was upbeat and polite. We received our drinks in a reasonable amount of time but everything else was slow. The appetizers took a long time though they were very simple. The Calamari, though tasty, was undercooked and soggy. The focaccia was cold. Then we waited... and waited....watching three tables of people seated MUCH later than we were getting their food..their hot food. (We could see the steam coming off of it). I had just asked if everyone wanted to leave and get something somewhere else. (Take into consideration we were all looking forward to having a good experience here after being reassured by the owner that our last experience was just a fluke. It's close to home and we liked the atmosphere.) We were looking for the waitress to ask for our check when the waitress and others finally walked up with our food. She had the pasta dish we ordered and TWO pizzas instead of just one. She, like the other waitress before, blamed the kitchen for making the first pizza wrong....? Then gave us both of them. We decided, since this pizza was hot, to eat. It was getting late. The pasta dish was missing an ingredient that was supposed to be in it according to the menu and the pizza crust was extremely soggy in the middle, but at that point, hunger took over & we decided to just cut our losses next time and not come back. We were there for over 2 hours in total and nobody ever thought it was appropriate to let us know what was going on. Maybe they didn't want the business walking out the door but now it did, finally, but is never coming back. This place has potential but it seems work ethic and responsibility isn't emphasized to the employees. And if they want to argue that it is, tell me why we had two identical experiences in two visits? I'm very disappointed. We were very polite and had good interactions with the waitress. There was absolutely no cause for these two experiences except for a complete lack of consideration for the customer. We never even mentioned our frustration or showed it in any way. I'm baffled how anybody could provide service this poor and not have a problem with it. read more

The pizza was excellent but the noise level is bad! Perhaps hang something that absorbs noise.

We met friends for dinner. Rude staff and the food was mediocre. Three out of four of our party were sick later that night. Nice night out *Apparently "someone " contacted Yelp and recommended that I take down my review. I did not ‍ read more

paid 30 dollars for a short rib pasta after asking what cut of beef the steak risotto was and the server not knowing. garlic bread was fine. meat was unseasoned and sauce was very underwhelming.

Parma Pizza Bar - Short Rib Pasta - Pizza Near Me - Yorkville, Illinois

First off, I think my app is broken because I can only give this place 5 stars. Second, it should be illegal for food to be THIS good!!! This was my boyfriend and I's second time visiting Parma and getting our food to go. The first time was kind of a fluke because we had ended up in Yorkville on a whim and Crusade told us they don't do takeout on the weekends so we opted for Parma. What a happy accident that was!! We ended up getting the White Cheese Pizza, the Basil Pesto Bowties and the Chef's Burger with Truffle Fries. My boyfriend throughly enjoyed his burger and fries and then we split the pizza and pasta which were both very, very good!! This second time we went to order online but it was unavailable so we called the order in and it was taken quickly. We drove there and when I told them who I was picking up for they had the food out almost instantly and I could feel that it was still hot and fresh. Since our drive gone would've been 20+ minutes, we found a quiet spot and decided to enjoy our food there. This time we got the Baby Bella pizza, the Basil Pesto Bowties, and the Chef's Burger with Truffle fries. We each grabbed a piece of pizza and went to town and OH. MY. GOD. was it AMAZING!!!!! Perfectly balanced and tasty, all the ingredients complimented each other, it was beyond delicious. My boyfriend enjoyed his burger and fries and kept commenting on how awesome it was of them to include ranch on the side as he loved dipping his fries and adding it to his burger. He said it also tasted homemade and that it definitely made wasn't from a bottle or jar. He even let me have a bite of the burger and holy crap was it good!!! Unfortunately due to lack of serving ware we weren't able to eat the pasta in the car but by the time we got home it was still warm and absolutely amazing!! Somehow we enjoyed our food a little bit more the second time, but it was amazing. I seriously contemplated ordering a second Baby Bella pizza on our way home, that's how good it was!!!! We can't wait for the COVID restrictions to lift again so we can enjoy everything in person, since what I've seen from stopping in looks relaxed and beautifully decorated. Thank you SO much Parma for all your amazing food, I have found my new favorite restaurant!!!!! Please RUN,don't walk to try this place out!!! I promise you won't regret it!!! read more

First time going I've been wanting to try this spot for awhile. I did find the seating at the bar a bit odd but then I kinda liked it. We were right there with the action. I saw some reviews about the staff being slow but I didn't see that at all. They were really hustling from where we sat. Loved the meatball appetizer and we got a pizza. I enjoyed it but next time I'd like to try the margarita pizza I didn't like the mozzarella cheese we had on the meat pizza. read more

We had the greatest evening out! Allie was a helpful and amazing server, my husband and I agreed she was one of the best server we had encountered in months. The food was amazing! We shared a pesto pasta and a white pizza that were both delicious. Our drinks were great (old fashioned and wine) and we were offered refills before they emptied. We had been wanting to visit for a while and will definitely be back!!!!! Again, in today's climate good service is hard to find and this beautiful establishment is killing it with their service and employees! read more

Went there opening week because we were thrilled Yorkville is finally getting another specialty restaurant! The place is clean and well decorated! You walk in and see the host stand and pizza bar, if you look to the left you'll see the real bar and there is a dining room in the back. Noise level was average on a Friday night, which was nice. The service was wonderful and the staff was kind and attentive. We ordered the Parmesan Truffle fries ($10), a Margherita pizza ($16) and the barbecue bacon pizza ($18). Everything was good! But it's also SUPER pricey. That being said we could have split a pizza and been completely full! We left with so many left overs! It was good, but if we go again we'll either split something or only go on a special occasion. read more
