Purchased 2 pizzas. One pizza was good, and the other pepperoni pizza I received was burnt. They should not have even boxed that burnt one. It was dry, flavorless and the crust was hard. Customer service was great, quality assurance not so much. One very important aspect of a good restaurant, is the consistency of the food served. Based on the reviews, and my experience, that is not the case. Hope you guys do better.

Great lunch deal, a large piece of pizza, salad and a drink for $13. And they have the best Brown butter chocolate chip cookies, great service, making the shop bigger.

Pizza tasted great I have ordered here numerous times before. However, they shrunk their pizzas so much! I was ok paying 30 dollars for pizza if it was their normal size. Now there are tiny little pieces. Probably what a medium too small would look like at another pizza place. I paid over 100 dollars for three pizzas and didn’t have enough for my four kids. They should let people know they made the pizzas much smaller.

Our pizza was delicious! The crust is really good both crispy and chewy. I really liked the miso caesar dressing on the caesar salad. The tiramisu was also yummy. The owner was so friendly and kind! All around a great local pizza shop worth supporting!!

Mike is amazing he will help you choose if your undecided and all the pizzas are made with sourdough crust💯 and their Ranch is homemade and if you like ranch dressing you have to stop in and try some at the Pizza Parlor

Outstanding pizza made with a tasty sourdough crust and high-quality ingredients that differentiate it from your standard neighborhood pizza shop. Desserts are also delicious. Whether we want a simple pie (Margherita) or something more complex (highly recommend the Authentic Papa) Pizza Parlor does it right.
When I was a kid, I loved pizza so much that I dreamed of opening my own pizzeria. I like to think it would've been just like this one.
The Food: I had two slices of pepperoni pizza, and they were fantastic. Every ingredient really stood out - from the sourdough crust to the sauce, cheese, and those perfectly cupped pepperonis (which I'm a sucker for). It's a great mix of high-quality ingredients. It's like a Megazord of cheesy goodness.
As a pizza aficionado, I wholeheartedly approve.
The Ambiance: This is a cozy spot with plenty of natural light from a big window. From a design perspective, I love their branding. It has that classic '80s pizza parlor vibe, but the restaurant itself feels very modern. It's a great balance, and I really enjoy the atmosphere.
The Service: Believe it or not, the customer service here might just be better than the pizza. We were greeted by what I'm pretty sure is the owner, who was incredibly friendly. He complimented my shirt and made sure to greet every customer who walked in. You could tell he genuinely cares. He remembered regulars and took the time to ensure everyone felt welcome, even though he was clearly busy. It's those little touches that make me want to return... along with the amazing pizza.

This is artisan pizza at its finest. Thin sourdough crust with a nice chew and perfect char. High quality cheese and toppings. Don’t skip the panna cotta- it’s out of this world. Owners and staff are super friendly. I came home with the wrong order once and they corrected it immediately without question.

Where Chef Mike goes, I go!! The sourdough pizza changed my life and what I call my favorite pizza! The authentic papa is the very best intro you could order to know your about lock into your favorite pizza spot of all time!! Hoping they stay around for many years to come 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Great sourdough Neapolitan style pizza with a crispy crust and great marinara. 1 Pizza can comfortably feed 2 adults but 1 Pizza is definitely better for next day leftovers. Great, helpful staff. Easy online ordering experience for pickup or delivery. Definitely my favorite local independent pizza. Weekly specials are always inspiring but the margarita is always a great choice too.
