I really like the pizza and pasta here. It's good portions, reasonably priced and relatively quick service. However, you should know this isn't a sit for restaurant. You order and then go sit in a community atrium that is also used by the coffee shop and probably some local workers taking lunch breaks. It's a cool and clean space but just not a restaurant setting. Staff is so-so on consistent friendliness. But order the pizza or order the bolognese...very tasty! read more

Unique location with terrific food/pizza! A favorite is the squash blossom lemon zucchini pizza. Their Bright Greens salad was the most flavorful green salad I have ever tasted. read more

Hidden gem. Hopefully it stays that way! Pizzas are amazing - taste just like Italy! The dough is perfect. Fiore limone is a favorite but even traditional pepperoni is delicious with the little crispy pepperonis- my fave! Greek goddess salad is so well dressed and has lots of texture and crunch, while the bolognese is also a go to pasta. We love the large open space which is so perfect for kiddos, clean and accessible bathrooms, easy parking, great customer service - can't say enough good things! We even order in the phone on our way over and do dine in. So nice to do with with littles. I want this place to stay hidden but I also want to share them with everyone! It's a hard mix. My favorite Tustin spot thus far. read more

The Parlor was such a pleasant surprise! We came at peak business hours and didn't order ahead which was on us, but everything was worth the wait! Their pastas, salads, and pizzas were fresh and so delicious. However the best thing I've ever had here was their olive oil cake. If you ever see it, buy two and thank us later! read more

I am BLOWN AWAY by the Parlor. So I made a pickup order on doordash because I needed a quick dinner after being out. The order was ready super quick which was amazing...but I got stuck out unfortunately. I watched as my order was marked ready for pick up, then like half an hour passed and I still wasn't anywhere close to being able to leave. I kinda frantically called the restaurant in case there was anything they could do and omg the woman who picked up was SO kind. She was super friendly through the call even though I was asking with what could be an annoying request. She said she'd see if maybe they could reheat or remake my order to be picked up half an hour from then. When we were able to pick it up, again they were super friendly. The orechiette and tonnarelli were fresh and warm still :D and they were DELICIOUS. The pasta was al dente to the point where every chew just made me happy. No grocery store pasta could ever even dream of being this good. And the bowls were saucy so i could dip my bread too. I love the variety in my pasta. Veggies, sausage, breadcrumbs, seasoned perfectly (a tiny bit too salty for me but I can write that off so easily given everything else). I added oyster mushrooms to my pasta too and I'm VERY happy about my choice. Great addition. And I had enough to make another meal for myself from it tomorrow (my brother finished his off in a flash though) read more

This place is a gem and fresh pastas for under $20? The green goddess is a must always and mix up the pasta and add a pizza to share. Highly recommend. It's the only fast casual Italian place I can think of in the Irvine tustin area that is good and doesn't drown their food in sauce, salt or oil. Friendly to boot. Just a weird location but dont let that turn you off. You're not gonna get killed. read more

The pizza at The Parlor is excellent. Light and fluffy crust, top notch ingredients, the perfect size for one person to eat in a single sitting. The only slightly odd thing at The Parlor is that all alcohol needs to be consumed in the little area where you order food, not in their larger dining area next door. Of course, on a busy Friday night, there are more people wanting a drink with their pizza than available seating. I'd definitely come back here, the pizza was great. read more

This place is delicious. Everything we ordered tasted great. We got the Bolognese and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The pizza crust was delicious. Pro tip: you can add any prosciutto to a pizza. I honestly think this may be some of the best Italian in the area. read more

Update to previous review: HIGHLY recommend the Bucatini all'Amatriciana ($14). This is a slam dunk dish that does not disappoint! read more

Best damn service and best damn pizza I've ever had The manager checked in with us multiple times made sure our food was good. Make sure we were happy. The pizza does sell out, so make sure you don't get bummed out if you go there on a Friday night and try to get some pizza and it's all sold out their pizzas that good. read more

So freakin good and at a really reasonable price point. The space is a little strange and the food takes a little while to come out but it's super worth it. The green goddess salad is delightful and the cacio et Pepe was some of the best I've had. The other pasta my daughter tried she enjoyed as well. It comes with yummy bread. I wish they used real plates and forks for dining in but it's a small quibble. Simply delicious! read more

Guarantee it it'll be a new go to place read more

The Parlor - The Parlor is a hidden gem. It's in an industrial building. - Pizza Near Me - Tustin, California

Instagram has skyrocketed their popularity - but now they can't keep up and are very overwhelmed and understaffed. Pizza dough was out by 5pm. Ordered pasta. His took 45 min to arrive, mine took 55 min. Food appears to comes out by dish, not by ticket. So four rigatoni's will be ready in a row, then three citrus salad's. All going piecemeal to different tables. Looking around, most tables have only one person with their food while their companions are waiting 15+ minutes for theirs to arrive. I ordered the paccheri alla Norma - full of chili flakes and pretty spicy, which was surprising since chili flakes are not listed on description on the menu. Staff seemed nice, but clearly operations are disjointed and they can't handle the volume. Will be back to try their pizza... in a few months when hopefully the Instagram craze has cooled off. read more

Ordered 2 pizzas delivered for a staff party for the first time. Great homemade crust and toppings!

I love this hidden gem! My friend wanted to try this and I'm so glad I went with her. Their pizza is to die for, the crust is cooked to perfection and they use fresh ingredients. I love that service is quick and easy as well and the shared seating area is really aesthetic as well, definitely want to come back and try other pizzas. read more

Absolutely Phenomenal! My first time here for lunch. Note: It's around the rear of a large industrial looking building. Plentiful parking too. Look for the Neon sign in the window. I was greeted warmly after announcing it was my first visit. The host / server directed me to the daily specials on the counter chalk board. I was there for their Pizza! I immediately saw the wood burning oven and was ready to be Wowed! I ordered at the counter, having previously decided after reviewing Yelp, that the Sausage and Peppers Pie was what I wanted to try. It was promptly prepared and delivered piping hot to my table next door in an immense dining hall area. It was pure Deliciousness and packed with flavor! I highly recommend this place and I hope to return again soon!! read more

Pizza is awesome! Very unassuming place but the food is amazing! Their pizza is the thin crust type, authentic Italian style, great flavors and options. Price is reasonable and service is fast! Definitely try out this hidden secret read more

We were in town for business and we sat in the pasta room. Meagan an staff were friendly, excited, guided us through our family order. They even gave us ice to go because our hotel didn't have it. Great pizza, awesome pasta and very cool atmosphere with cool music. Highly recommend. read more

A no non-sense place to quickly order and have proper cacio e pepe. The pasta was very al dente, which is my preference, and it absorbed the creamy, salty, very peppery sauce, making the dish well-balanced. It's hard to find good cacio e pepe, and many places that do it right are fancy sit-down restaurants. I'm happy I found The Parlor and will definitely be back to try their salad, pizza, and other pastas. It all looks so good. read more

Great food and service. It's a small place, but plenty of seating opposite in an open cafeteria setting. They give you a number and bring your food out hot. I've had their pizza, focaccia bread and sandwiches. Come hungry because for me, the portions are large and reheating a sandwich doesn't really cut it for me. I could definitely split a sandwich with someone and be full enough. They use fresh ingredients in all their dishes. Been there 4x already and will keep coming back. Kudos to the owner and crew. read more

Very cool hidden gem of an Italian spot. High quality and delicious food. The portions are very generous and the prices are reasonable. I tried the Bucatini all'Amatriciana, Agnolotti alla Norma, and the Sausage & Peppers Pizza. All were excellent and have me wanting to come back for more. read more

Super delicious and fresh! The ingredients were high quality! And the prices aren't bad!!! Staff was friendly too. read more

It was our first time at The Parlor and we have nothing but great things to say about it! Super casual, lively ambience and very helpful gracious staff! The food was amazing; we had 3 pizza's and 1 pasta dish. A couple of glasses of wine and then some homemade cookies. The pasta was Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe and was amazing. Homemade pasta cooked Al Dente. So good with a wedge of bread to mop up the sauce. Pizza was Guanciale, Pepperoni and the best one of all - the Fiori e Limone. We normally wouldn't have ordered a pizza with toppings like this, but it will be our first choice for sure next time! The glasses for the wine were super cool and hip. Just like the entire place. You can grab a table or high chair in the part where you order pizza or you can grab a table number and head to the large open seating room adjacent to it. Outdoor seating and comfy sofas too. Really does cater to everyone. Staff were amazing and so very helpful! read more

Really wanted to love this place and get decent Italian, especially pastas but the sauces didn't work for me. No pizza available the night I went. The plating of the food looked super nice based on what I could see of dishes coming out. But the sauces were similar and IMHO, less tasty than North Italia. The price point is good for what was served, but again, I don't mind paying more for tastier food. Lines were long so expect to wait ~30 minutes for food on a Friday night. I did takeout so after placing my order, I went shopping at the District. Servers were excellent, despite how busy it was. I hope that this place is successful since it's a cool concept and it's good value for money - it's just not to my personal taste. read more

So stoked that I discovered this new Tustin gem! Located in a somewhat industrial area of Tustin on Red Hill but very easy to find. My husband ordered the rigatoni bolognese, and it was absolutely delicious and the pasta cooked perfectly. The antipasto salad was probably one of the best salads I've ever had. Packed with delicious salami, mozzarella, artichoke hearts and tomatoes, just insane flavor. We also got the lemon squash pizza, just DEVINE with the perfect crunch. The pickled onions they have in their fridge grab and go were very herbaceous with a nice kick! We got everything to go, but the dining area across the way is adorable and very modern. The service was extremely friendly and efficient. Will definitely make this place one of my to-go favorites read more

Great big space to eat and relax and everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered at the counter and they give you a number and bring out the food so it's not a full service but everyone was very friendly. Would come back with a bigger group just to hang out it's like a big warehouse with furniture and seats and tables.

Short review: Wow! Longer review: wife and I came here around 5pm on a Friday, at literally the perfect time because right after we ordered and a ton of people came flooding in. We got the pepperoni pizza, the rigatoni, and one of the salads (which we didn't really need ultimately). The pizza was by far the best pizza I've had in the OC since moving here this year. It's just on a different level, so it's not fair to compare it to a delivery oriented pizza place anyway. The crust is to die for, yummmm... so soft, with the right amount of chewy. The rigatoni was wonderful as well, but not a good pairing with the pizza specifically--they were best enjoyed one after the other we felt, which was just fine. They have wine and some beers in a cooler, which you have to drink inside (where there is limited seating, there is a bigger food court seating area across the way) so be sure to come at the right time if you want to drink, or get takeout. But the pizza is so good you won't need to drink anyway! We'll definitely be back, and often. read more

Came on a Monday for lunch and the location is very easy to find and there is plenty of parking. The woman taking orders was so kind and very accommodating. She even let me try the mozzarella before ordering a pizza! They make all their bread, dough, sauce, cheese, gelato, etc., in house! The quality was outstanding. We ordered a pepperoni pizza with extra basil and it was PHENOMENAL! My husband never eats pizza crust, but he loved this one. We also ordered the grinder sandwich and the pasta fagiole soup. Everything was delicious, the service was friendly and the shop was clean and cute. read more

I had their summer seasonal salad and it was seriously such a surprise of combination of flavors. It had grapefruits and peaches, and pistachios. They use Ingredients that are in season to create delicious surprises like this salad. The pizza was equally delicious!! Highly recommend this place. read more

The Parlor is hidden away in a large building on Red Hill next to Rye Goods. The pepperoni pizza, cacio e pepe, and green goddess salad were all delicious. There's limited seating inside the restaurant but there's a cool open space right next to it where they'll also bring your food out to you. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. I'll definitely be going back to try their other dishes. read more

I'm not even going to tell you how many times I've been to this place since discovering it a few weeks ago. Killer neo pizza - perfect crust, no skimping on cheese, cup n char pepperoni. It's attached to some kind of coworking space which maybe I will bring my laptop to for the afternoon. Only bummer is that the last time I ordered it came with normal flat pepperoni - am hoping that this was a short term supply pinch and that the cupping pepps remain the norm. read more
