Parlor is the best pizza restaurant in Des Moines and maybe the best restaurant overall. The Detroit-Style pizza is amazing. Their cheeseburger and truffle fries are also 10/10. The best pizza on the menu is Sweet Jane: white sauce, mozzarella, gruyere, ricotta, spiced honey, and almonds. Great selection of beer on tap. Great atmosphere. Our server was incredibly attentive, making eye contact with me right away every time I wanted anything. We will be back many times.

We didn't think much of this place. Service was slow which isn't necessarily bad but it was awkward as zero conversation from our server took place. The food is mediocre at best. We all had pizza and the kids had fries too. My ranch addicted son had ranch and we thought it was blue cheese as it was sweet and had chunks in it. When we asked for another one it was the same deal which was weird.

What a delightful experience. The food was great! I do wish they had a wine list of higher end wines as I can't drink beer :)

We ate here 2 Sundays in a row 10/13 & 10/20. Both times the servers were amazing, attentive to our needs, prompt to fill drinks & make sure our experiences were good. There's nothing that can be done by the servers when the kitchen cuts corners and tries to hurry food to the pass with out care & consistency. If you wouldn't serve that to your family or significant other why send it? Our first experience was amazing, our breakfast potatoes were grilled well & crispy, our over easy eggs perfect, bacon crispy everything was as expected. Today 10/20 our server, she was amazing, epitome of everything a well trained FoH person should. The food sent out, another thing...before you ask, we sent back the bacon to be crispy otherwise we ate what we were served (again not her fault) as I fear retribution when complaining about food. To get to the point....our eggs were over medium or overheard. Our breakfast potatoes were deep fried...there's not any other way to get that even of a color on all sides. Last week's potatoes were a hodge podge of brown, white, some a but blackened, but obviously not just dumped in a fryer. If I'd have wanted french fried potatoes, I'd have ordered the. The restaurant wasn't slammed, there were between 7 & 10 tables in various stages of "do eness". Yes it may be faster, but having experienced the same breakfast the week before, it was hugely disappointing to feel the hurry up & get it done. I don't care about that the customer is right b.s. I do care that the customer is ALWAYS the customer. I'll return @ some point.....just not as soon as management would like.

Everything was great! Four of us went for brunch and we got a ridiculous amount of food just so we could try a bunch of stuff. We loved it! Our server was wonderful, hospitable, and funny! Thanks!

Food and service were great. The only thing that could've improved our experience was the lighting wasn't great. We had to pull out our phones so we could see the menu.

Great place to sit on the patio or watch the games. Very conscious about gluten free options also. Good drinks, reasonable prices.

Absolutely love Parlor! Their gluten free pizza is an absolute revelation, I cannot recommend it highly enough!
Dietary restrictions: Great for gluten free. Eaten multiple times with zero problems, the kitchen and staff is very knowledgeable!
In town for business and has a craving for pizza. Came across this place on Open Table and saw they had Detroit Style Pizza and it did not disappoint. My bartender Gaby was full of energy and extremely pleasant throughout the night. Would highly recommend!

Great pizza! The rest of the menu reaches a but too much and sadly falls short. The service is fantastic and the shuffle board is a nice touch. In the 2 times we've been there there was no more than 2 other tables which makes the large space feel VERY empty.

Pizza was yummy but I had to pick off ingredients I specifically asked for then to leave out. When we called there was no offer to remedy it. Might try again but will check my order before leaving!
