I placed my order for a quick pick up during lunch. My single item was ready at the exact pick up time, and it was still hot when I went to retrieve it a couple minutes late! I ordered the cacio e Pepe. The noodles were al dente with the perfect chew to them! However, the sauce was salty and too overseasoned. It was hard to enjoy the meal because of this. :( I think I would ask them to skip the cheese sprinkled on top next time, because it was just extremely salty. It came with 2 pieces of bread on the side, which was absolutely delicious and helped counter the salty flavor. The bread was so soft and dense and delicious!!! I am honestly so bummed about my pasta, but I know this place has the potential to be amazing. Definitely giving them the benefit of the doubt, because I would for sure come back to try it again. read more

The Parlor - Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe 3/5, too salty - Pizza Near Me - Tustin, California

Both pizzas were a soggy mess. It was so wet that we couldn't pick up a slice without it tearing or bending without dropping all the toppings. The pizza has potential (high quality ingredients and the outside crust that wasn't soggy was delicious) but I don't think anyone wants a soggy wet pizza crust. I'll give this place another shot another day. Maybe it was a bad day. read more

Food and service was great. Love their Margharita Pizza. Excellent crust. Enjoy the open air casual dining experience.

I hope that they continue doing well. Everything we tried was delicious, I don't think they can do anything wrong. Service was very friendly and guided us well through the options available. Yes, you order at the counter and then you can find a table in the room next door. There's only 4ish high top seats by the counter you order from, and that's the only area you can drink. It's a strange set up. Anyway, come with comfy pants and an appetite read more

Finally got to try The Parlor. I had bookmarked this for a few months now. It's located in an industrial area with plenty of parking. You order at the counter and they bring your order to a dining hall next door. Great and friendly service. We shared a bowl of their famous Rigatoni Bolognese before going for a walk at the Tustin Sports Park. This pasta dish was very good and decent portion at a reasonable price. Would come back to try the Fiore e Limone and Guanciale pizza. read more

I loveeeee the Parlor especially in OC. Their Fiore de Lemon pizza is sooooo gooood Their pizzas are the highlight of every meal. BUT - recently, I had to dock a star because that pizza crust ain't that thin anymore. IM HERE FOR THE THINNNN pizza crust, which is also great for my dad's diabetes. We're always here for the pizzas and he can usually eat up to three slices no problem. If I wanted a thick dough, I'd go to Papa John's. If I wanted a thinner dough but not paper thin, I'd just go across the street to Terra Mia. I'm here for that paper thin see through, dough that kind of melts and falls apart in the center bc of how thin it is. Citrus salad has definitely changed up too but that's A-ok. The dates are huge now and so much less cheese. Service is always absolutely amazinggg; we love them. Ambiance is always super cute read more

This place is such a hidden gem! It is located in a business park. The seating area is set up like a brewery/warehouse style with plenty of seating. There are workers walking around making sure everything is clean and checking if we need anything. We tried the green goddess salad, pizza and the rigatoni pasta. All were sooo good I was pleasantly surprised! The pasta was perfectly al dente. Pizza was delicious and the loved the gem lettuce for the salad. No complaints. Can't wait to come back! read more

Talk about the luckiest Friday ever, one couldn't ask for better, from the smooth Americano to the squash blossoms pizza, the green goddess and the genuine employees to the common seating area, short of winning the lottery, I'd take this day on a repeat. Take this meal and conversations, even the short wait in line down to the olive focaccia staring at you as you wait your turn. Groundhog Day, sign me up! The food and pictures from previous diners did not disappoint. Each plate looks exactly like what you'd expect and taste even richer. Like the green goddess salad- generous chunks of creamy fresh avocado coated in evenly toasted bread crumbs, hand picked cilantro and creamy tabs of look-at-me cheese. If I wasn't so teeth-challenged it would be perfect. The use of artisan romaine was very Italian of them. The limone pizza was indeed surprising. Paper thin lemon just adds a nice zing to the white base accompanied with squash blossoms??!! Yesssss! The cacio e pepé had a great base with handmade pasta. The pasta was where I wish I could get something thinner, it had the texture and consistency of udon rather than pasta. It's delicious regardless. Dippable little puddle of sauce coated evenly and dimples of Parmesan. We even got lucky and got a complimentary giant slice of olive focaccia. The only thing that would've made me fall asleep right away is some salted butter or balsamic vinegar and olive oil. read more

My sis brought me here for an easy casual dinner with her baby in a stroller. They love it here cuz the pizzas and pastas are so legit, fresh and delicious. The seating area is really chill and there's plenty of seating. Please note that this is located inside a corporate building, and there's also a cafe too that she raved about, but was closed during dinner time. Also I heard this place is NOT open on the weekends. Here's what we got: Vesuvio Pasta - really good and light - great flavor with broken pieces of sausages and there's a bit of a heat to this. Pepperoni Pizza - the pepperonis are the mini sized ones, and it's your standard pepperoni pizza but very delicious. Funghi e Cavolo Pizza - not your standard mushroom pizza in a very good way. No sauce - just cheese and oil, and of course mushroom. I believe they use maitake mushroom for this and it's amazing. They also put chunks of kale on top and it works really well. This place uses fresh ingredients and they create yummy seasonal Italian dishes. The service is friendly, you order at the front, take a number and wait at your table! read more

This time around, I got the rigatoni bolognese and it was super good! The sauce had a unique flavor that I really enjoyed. I'm not really sure how to describe it but it had much more depth than your average ragu. There was bit of spiciness to the sauce as well, very mild. The short rib was very tender but very scant. The noodles were a perfect al dente just like the previous time. They make their noodles perfectly here. I am recovering from wisdom tooth surgery and this is the first normal meal that I had that wasn't super painful to endure and actually left me full! Portions are on the smaller side for the price but it's quality food. Although this dish was amazing, I have to say that I like the Cacio e Pepe better. The creaminess and cheesiness with the pepper is just what I enjoy more when it comes to pasta! But I will say the bread that came with the bolognese was so much better and complimented the dish well. It was fluffy so it was able to soak up the sauce and it also had a bit of saltiness to it! I feel like it might've been a focaccia type of bread, it was delicious! I went after lunch time and on a sunnier day so it was much more poppin with people which was nice. It definitely wasn't as eerie as last time! Good vibes. The cashier was super nice again as well. Food did take a little bit longer than expected but wasn't too bad. This is now one of my top pasta places and I will definitely be back when I'm in the area again! read more

The Parlor - Rigatoni bolognese - Pizza Near Me - Tustin, California

This review is for take out. I'm very picky when it comes to pizza and usually stick to a few spots I know do it right. Too many have let me down. But I decided to try something new and gave The Parlor a shot. And I'm so glad I did. I ordered Pepperoni and Fiori pizzas for takeout around 4:30 pm on Wednesday. The order was ready less than 15 minutes. The dough is chewy and flavorful, and yes, it actually gets better as you chew. For me, it always comes down to whether the crust is worth finishing. And in this case, it absolutely was. The toppings were fresh, simple, and well-balanced. Both were delicious. I'll definitely be going back to try more from the menu. read more

The squash blossom pizza was incredible-surprisingly lemony with a very high quality crust. The sausage broccoli rabe pasta had such interesting texture, great spice level and perfectly al dente pasta. Our other guests equally were impressed with their choices. The Aperol Spritz was the perfect accompaniment. We will be back! read more

Finally made it here. Was totally surprised by the location and how busy this little place is. I was hoping for more of a lunch special which they don't offer. They have specials for the day but I wanted to try like 1/2 salad with 1/2 pizza. But that's just me. Friendly service. I decided on the citrus salad for $15 and added chicken for an additional $6. So overall $21 for a salad is a bit on the pricier side. However, it was delicious! I enjoyed every flavor in my bowl and I would get it again! I got to try my friend's pepperoni pizza which I thought was tasty as well but she didn't feel well after eating the pizza. Need more seating in the open area but that's shared and not on them. I do plan to come back and try the other items as a treat. Love the concept. read more

The Parlor - Pizza Near Me - Tustin, California

The Parlor is a local Italian restaurant that I have seen on Yelp for a long time now. One night we decided to get take out from them to try something new. I tried to call the restaurant multiple times and I was unsuccessful. I also went onto their website and they were not taking online orders either. So inconvenient. I had to go in person to order and then wait for my order there. My boyfriend had The Grinder ($16.00) and I had their Green Goddess Salad ($14.00) and Yuzu Kombucha ($4.50). We shared the Sausage & Peppers Pizza ($19.00). If you ever had a grinder sandwich anywhere else, this isn't like what you had prior. When I opened it, this sandwich looked like it had a salad throw in the middle. Which made the inside kind of wet and soggy. I think it tasted decent, but not what we expected. Also really expensive for a sandwich. My salad was the saddest blandest salad I've had in a while. I even tossed it up w bit but I just didn't like it. The bites of avocado were the best parts of it. It does not come with protein, and you'll have to add that for additional cost. A lot of the photos online shows it with chicken, but they must have added onto it. I wasn't a fan of the pizza either. Crust too burnt for my liking and the toppings were nothing exciting. Could use more sausage. It wasn't even cheap... so I generally feel like there are other pizza places I would rather go to if I wanted pizza. Oh the yuzu kombucha was the best thing I had and something I will look for to buy at the store or online. I didn't try their pastas, but in this minute I am not really motivated to come back. I don't really like their ambiance for dine in. Limited loud cramped setting in their actual space. There is a communal space with a lot of additional seating but it's super busy unmaintained. read more

I asked the staff if I could have a pizza made with just mozzarella and no pecorino. The staff questioned me and ultimately said they could accommodate. After placing my order I heard them tell the cook the order who was upset and rude about us wanting no pecorino and the staff was also laughing about our request. Upon receiving our pizza it was clear they used Pecorino despite assuring us they would not. They were demeaning, disrespectful, and rude. read more

OMG! I had one of the thinnest crisp crusted pizza and yummiest pizza yesterday! I just discovered the Parlor and it's been around for 2 years+! Who knew!? Had the squash blossom, lemon, zucchini with dollops of Stracciatella cheese. It was absolutely delicious and refreshing! Also had the fennel sausage pasta and Green Goddess salad. This is gourmet food in a business park, nondescript setting. I can't wait to return and try the other pizzas and the short rib pasta. This has become my favorite pizza place! read more

I've been hesitant to write a review because I don't want to let the cat out of the bag - but it's 2024 and the time has come. The Parlor is spectacular, and it is imo the best pasta spot in the entire OC. I first came here close to when this shop first opened, and have frequented it since then. I've traveled around the world, eaten at a ton of low to high end restaurants all over Europe, (inclusive of Italy, France, Spain, Copenhagen, etc) and I think I have a good grasp on what good and bad breads and pastas taste like. The Parlor delivers on all fronts. The specialty here is of course the pasta, but every time I have come here the soups are top notch, and the pizza here is also surprisingly really good. But overall the pasta dishes are for sure the knockout dishes. I have had just about every pasta dish on their menu and they are all wonderful, so it's really up to you on what you feel like having. All the dough is made fresh daily, and when you bite into any dish it's really obvious. The quality is top tier and the prices are really adorable all things considered. Service is always super friendly, and the location itself is pretty small but there's a back community area across the restaurant where people can lounge sit and chat. The one downfall of this place is it is only open Monday through Friday, so if you need a weekend fix you will be out of luck! Do come early too, every time I come back to this spot the crowds have picked up each time so guess the word is going around at how good this place is. You'll be hard pressed to find a pasta spot that does it better than The Parlor, and that's saying alot because there are some pretty good Italian restaurants in the OC. So yes in all, if you haven't heard of or tried The Parlor, just go. You're doing yourself a disservice by waiting any longer. read more

When I arrived, I thought "how could such a place serve the best pizza AND pasta in OC?" From the outside it looks like a warehouse surrounded by a parking lot and nothing else. But this was the textbook example of not judging a book by its cover. On one side is the kitchen and ordering area. Then the other side is free seating with LOTS of open space. The ragu pasta was delicious and perfectly al dente. It came with a slice of bread that looked like ordinary grocery store bought bread, but on first bite I realized it was a delicious slice of freshly made sourdough. The wood-fired margherita pizza was also very delicious. It's charred (not burnt) very well and the crust was as you'd expect from a traditional neopolitan pizza. read more

Long overdue, but so well deserved! The Parlor has quickly become one of my favorite go-to spots--not just because of the amazing food, but because of the incredible people who make the experience so special every time. The food? Always on point. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether it's brunch, happy hour, or dinner, I've never had a dish I didn't love. But what really keeps us coming back is the genuine hospitality from the team. A special shoutout to Megan, the Manager, who always goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. Her presence is warm, approachable, and attentive--you can tell she leads by example. She remembers faces, makes real connections, and brings an energy that elevates the whole vibe of the place. The entire staff is friendly, upbeat, and clearly takes pride in what they do. It's rare to find a place that gets both the food and the service consistently right--and The Parlor does just that. From one loyal customer who's always there--thank you for making every visit feel like coming home. read more

Tucked away in industrial complex, this place is hard to find. It's separate into 2 areas. Ordering area with few seats and larger community area where you can find more seating. Decor is nothing to write home about. It looks like a deli. Service is quick and very friendly. They cycle through customers quickly and produce food just as fast. Advice- if you plan on drinking alcoholic beverage, you can only drink in ordering area. I only saw like 5 chairs you can sit in. You are not allowed to take it to community area Boy was the food fresh and tasty. We shared margarita pizza that was fresh and well Balanced. It seemed as is pizza was more popular than anything as I saw someone crush a meat lover which looked tastier than our margarita Bolognese was very fresh. Not sure if they make it on site and make it daily. My guess is that they do I it taste like other Italian joint that charges for there freshness Overall this place is half the price for food that is as good as north Italia or Cuccina Drawback is that they're only open Monday through Friday. read more

Dude what is this space?!? Met up with some old coworkers tonight for a catch up dinner and was told to come to the parlor for some awesome wood fired pizza. Didn't think much of it and surprisingly didn't check my yelp beforehand, like I usually do, to see the menu and space. In a way I'm glad I didn't! I saw this little pizza shop place which looked small and cute and fun music vibes and smells great but what I wasn't expecting was that in the same building is this GIANT WAREHOUSE they have for seating and it's so random and spacious with cool furniture and plants everywhere. So you can grab your pizza and hang in this converted food hall like warehouse but the only food is The Parlor (which is PHENOMENAL PIZZA, plus pasta, sandwiches, and some desserts which I need immediately need to go back for). Such a vibe I ordered the pizza I couldn't pronounce and they customized it for me by removing the pork cheek and olives and adding basil. IT WAS SO GOOD! Those little chilies were perfection. She was super friendly to answer all my questions and help accommodate my dietary restrictions. Overall loved it and would go back for that pizza again! read more

I've gone here twice now with my coworkers for lunch and it's a decent option. Service: The service is pretty great and the staff is quite friendly. You order from the cashier and then you're given a number. Food Consensus: The menu has pizza, pasta, and salad options. My favorite is the beef short rib pasta. The flavors are solid, however I noticed toward the end of my meal it was pretty heavy. I recently tried the funghi pizza and I would not recommend it. The pizza was lacking flavor and the toppings are very questionable. The flavors of the toppings did not pair well either each other. I thought it was cute that they did the heart shaped pizzas for Valentine's Day but it doesn't make up for the flavor. Next time, I'll try out the green goddess salad. read more

This is a hidden gem in Tustin! My son came across this restaurant when we were looking for a place to eat. They were able to accommodate his nut and sesame allergy, which is a plus! If you are gluten free, they unfortunately don't have a gluten free option. We ordered the salads and two pizzas. The crust on the pizza was nice and crispy, and the marinara sauce is full of flavor. The parlor is hidden off of Red Hill, and they play fun, upbeat music. The service was also excellent! read more

Stopped here for a quick bite/late lunch with my mom. The music was thumping in this place and felt like a club. All good though because you order at the counter and eat outside the restaurant. I'm assuming the dining/lounging space is part of a co-op space as it's inside what sort of looks like a warehouse type space share with a bakery and maybe some other spaces. I loved the crispy crust, and the toppings were tasty, but the sauce fell a little flat for me and needed a little more body. That said, the pizza was decent and service was friendly. read more

I too would order this again) Service is great, they are very nice. The Parlor is hidden within a business complex area. It shares the same building with a bakery. It's limited seating inside the Parlor, but you can sit in the communal seating indoor and outdoor area that has plenty of space. Price is affordable.

My neighbor recommended The Parlor to me. I wanted to try it out the next day, but found out they are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. I finally got to try it today and ordered it to go. My husband picked it up, so I can't comment on the location, ambiance, nor service. Green Goddess Salad - 8/10 Nothing super spectacular, but it is a delicious salad. Flori e Limone - 7/10 I wanted to try this because it sounded unique and different. I mean lemon pizza? Surprisingly, it worked. I will say that it is refreshing and more of a summer time pizza. Meat Lover's Pizza (Secret Menu) - 6/10 I was not a fan of this pizza. Maybe it was their sausage or pepperoni, but something was too spicy. My two-year old put it aside because it was too much for her. I agreed with my daughter. Rigatoni Bolognese - 9/10 So flavorful and tasty! I highly, highly recommend this dish. It comes with a generous amount of beef short rib. Actually, too much for my liking. There was leftover meat and no more rigatoni. I would come back for their salad and pasta. read more

The Parlor - Rigatoni bolognese - Pizza Near Me - Tustin, California

This spot is located in a small business lot in Tustin. Definitely isn't noticeable unless you work or drove regularly around this area. It's an open parking lot that's easily accessed and the Parlor is connected to a food court/working space that has tons of chairs, couches and a bathroom. You are allowed to take your food in there, however no alcoholic beverages can be consumed in that area. As for the indoor seating at the restaurant, it's very limited. There's about 4 bar stools and one hip top table. I get the sense this is more of an order to go spot. As a first timer, I picked the pepperoni pizza, green goddess salad and the oriecchette pasta. There's a red and white wine selection that you can purchase by the bottle as well. All the food and service was decent. I would say, the broccoli taste in the oriechetti pasta was a bit overpowering, that it took away from the sausage and other ingredients. Other than that, food came out super quick and was priced fairly. Would definitely come back to try other dishes. read more
