| - I have now visited The Parlor twice; once on a Thursday evening and once on a Friday evening. Right off the bat, I love the inconspicuous nature of The Parlor, you could drive by 3 times and still never really see the presence of a hustlin' bustlin' hip pizzeria.
Parking at new & hip restaurants is normally a bear to say the least, but some wonderful and efficient thought was put into the design, making the experience of tackling parking, a whole lot less stressful.
As you walk in (dont miss the fresh herb garden on your righthand side), you cant help but feel the modernist and contemporary stylings.....its the VIG and LGO Pizzeria blended into a wonderful concoction.
During the first visit, we sat on the patio around 530pm. Yeah, it was 105 frickin degrees outside, but with the mist system they have cooling the air and fresh plantings it was quite comfortable. We enjoyed appetizers and a meat/cheese plate to start, and then a pizza with oliver tempanade, Schrieners sausage, and gorgonzola cheese. All of the food was light, fresh, and filling. A satisfying first trip.
Round two was on a busy Friday night, around 745pm. Expecting to wait an hour, we were pleasantly surprised that it was just a 20 minute wait for a party of two. In the meantime we enjoyed a glass of wine at the bar and spent half our time watching Sportscenter and half our time people watching... after being seated in the main dining room, instead of trying another meat/cheese combination or appetizer, we dove head first into 2 pizzas and a bottle of vino. We tried the traditional pepperoni and then the yukon gold potato pie. Again the food was fresh, well cooked, and served in a timely manner.
The Parlor should be your new pizza epicenter if you like friendly service, fresh tasting food, and a centrally convenient location.
