| - Blazes! What's with all the resentment and venom being thrown and spat at poor old Pizza Parma? Another local chain, Pizza Parma's presence can be sightings throughout the city, and this one is open until 1AM during the week and until 2AM on weekends!
After stopping into Pizza Parma after a very late weeknight concert days before to stave off dehydration with a soft drink (I ain't payin' $4 for a Coke at Altar Bar, and nothin' else was open Downtown!) AND catching an eyeful of their pizzas, I vowed to return.
The following week, Kay wanted to support a friend who was selling her wares at Boutique 208, and on the way home via trolley, we decided to snag a light dinner of pizza cuts and...lobster bisque???
PP has a fairly expansive and unusual menu that is not at all confined to pizza, hoagies, calzones, and wings. Nuh-uh. If you dare glance at their pamphlet (or their website), you'll find crabcakes, tilapia, ocean perch, whiting, catfish, shrimp, gyros, baked ziti, linguini, ravioli, manicotti, fetuccine alfredo (!), teriyaki chicken salads, turkey, and even fried okra!
The lobster bisque was a special not on their canonical bill of fare, so I figured what the hay?
And it was creamy, thickened, and not at all awful, but for the price, I s'pose I shouldn't have expected to see or eat any chunks of actual lobster. However, the lobster essence was there. I'm left wondering if the soup came out of a can or bag, though. It recalled a scene from one of my preferred childhood films...

The pizza, on the other hand, was of the same quality found at Bethel Park's capable Fellini's. Kay and I each had a whopper of a NY-sized wedge with teacup pepperoni shavings dotting the oozing mozzarella landscape. The edges were bubbling and slightly burnt, the crust was sturdy, and the sauce tasted of tomatoes so sweet, they must have been left to ripen at the point just before spoilage. "NASTY?" Anything but. People need to stop reviewing when they're in a bad mood. It has the potential to hurt businesses, that is if they are to be taken seriously, and I don't think they should. May the algorithm claim thee...
P.S. Are all Pizza Parmas so yellow on the inside? Damn was this joint lutescent! Green Lantern would be shit outta luck up in here! It didn't bother me, mind you. I just thought it was odd. Hey, at least ya can't miss 'em.
P.P.S. Each slice of pizza with pepperoni was $2.80. The cup of lobster bisque was $5. Having mentioned that, I didn't find PP to be expensive.
P.P.P.S. We had no problems with the service nor did we wait long for our food. The gent behind the counter even brought everything to our table when it was ready. Do I live in a parallel universe? Sometimes I think so.
