“When Parry's gets it right, their food is good. The problem is they rarely get it right and then they NEVER actually come through to fix it. Don't bother complaining...they never actually credit your or follow through. And good lord! Door Dash throws it in the trunk and makes a huge mess. Yet again another $60 gone. Shame on me for not learning.“

“Mom-and-pop shop that serves pasta and salad literally in paper buckets. The noodle options are cavatappi, penne, and spaghetti, and there are numerous sauce options. The cavatappi was cooked slightly over-al dente, but the marinara was excellent — the spicy marinara is a home run. The pasta bowl sizes are called small, medium, and family, which translate to big, giant, and humongous because the family is 24 ounces.

Garlic bread comes with each pasta order, and it's made to order, and it's crispy, buttery, and garlicky. The salads — also made to order — come in the medium bucket. The mac and cheese (cooked to order) is also flavorful. Meat options are sausage, meatballs, and chicken.

The paper buckets are tightly sealed by a plastic lid, and I'm confident that transporting the food would not result in a spill.

The food is prepared by Patrick, one of the owners, and patrons can sit and wait and converse with him, as we did when we dropped by. He said his goal is to make feeding families more affordable for the South Denver area.

They have a free miniature arcade set up, as well, for those who want to pass the time while waiting. It's the original three Mortal Kombats as of November 2024. There is no dine-in option here; it's strictly order to go.

The shop is connected to the Great Harvest shopping center — just have to swing around the corner to the south.“

“The food is amazing! Our waitress was awesome as well. The only thing that left a sour taste in our mouth was the manager making it seem like we’re being rushed. I made a reservation a week earlier and when we showed up there was barley anyone there, the manager or owner or who ever she is said we had 1 hour and a half at max to finish our meal. This establishment is definitely not a turn and burn. If I’m spending over 25 dollars a plate I’m going to enjoy it with the feel or want to be rushed. That being said the food and our waitress definitely did not disappoint!“
