| - After hearing about this place for a while, I decided to check it out this past weekend. As some other reviewers point out, the parking situation is pretty bad, with an understaffed valet as your only option if there's a crowd.
I started with a meat & cheese plate that was very good. My selected meats/cheeses came with pesto and a tomato sauce, along with some very good flatbread.
I then tried the farm greens salad. I was pleasantly surprised--this was an excellent salad, thanks mostly to sweet pears contrasting with spicy-coated pecans, and chicken that was clearly hand-pulled from a whole roasted bird (and, unlike most chicken on salads, this included both light and dark meat).
Finally, the pizza. It is an almost-Neapolitan style, thin but with a substantial crust around the outside. Rather than being spotty-charred like a neapolitan, the crust had an all-over gray color to it. The crust quickly became soggy in the center of my 12" pizza, but the overall flavor was very good. The toppings were good quality, but the sausage on my pizza overpowered the flavor of the cheese and sauce.
Overall, The Parlor is a place I'll gladly come back to. It's not my absolute favorite pizza in town, but it's close.
