Parlor Pizza Bar River North

I’ve been to parlor multiple times it’s just a quick and easy place to stop by for lunch. the kale and artichoke dip is always great and i’ve had the margherita pizza many times which a classic option (best with the spicy tomato sauce). the drinks are solid and the outdoor patio is great for the summer time. they also have a great deal for happy hour

I’m going to be honest right now… this restaurant has the absolute most efficient, fresh, fast, at THE MF TABLE MINUTES AFTER YOU ORDERED! You would think like “dang, was this someone else’s food they couldn’t sell and I just by coincidence ordered? (It was literally like 5-8 minutes order to table)…… but no my friend, not at all the case. My pizza came freaky fast, HOT CHIX! It was even modified to my liking (spicy pickles on the side) at the perfect time as soon as we finished our fried calamari appetizer. It had an amazing chimichurri sauce that complimented it so well. It was at the table HOT before we even got our delicious beverages from the bar. We had a mother punch a viejo old fashioned- masterfully crafted and gone before we knew it because it was so delectable. We came to this establishment because it was next door to our hotel and it was extremely close and efficient. Next time we’re in the city, I will go out of my way to have a dining experience again at this establishment. Thank you for the great experience Parlor Pizza!

Delicious- We were starving tourists & every pizza place had a long wait — including this one. But luckily, there was immediate outdoor seating. The outdoor heater kept us warm. The server, he was a vibe! Our pizza came out quickly, and the crust was that perfect brick oven balance: crispy on the outside, soft and delicious inside. We loved it so much, we came back the very next day.

Overall, Parlor Pizza Bar offers a solid pizza experience with plenty of variety and refreshing beer options. Their diverse pizza selection allows you to explore multiple flavor combinations, making it an ideal spot for both adventurous eaters and pizza traditionalists. The pizza selection here is extensive, and I took full advantage of that by trying several different varieties during my visit. Each pizza had its own distinct character and flavor profile, showcasing the kitchen's versatility and commitment to quality ingredients. As for beverages, the Pilsner was particularly noteworthy; crisp, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the various pizzas. It provided a clean palate cleanser between the different pizza styles I sampled. The service was attentive throughout my visit, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Unfortunately, I missed taking pictures of my feast - my apologies for that oversight! You'll just have to visit yourself to appreciate the visual appeal of their creations. If you choose to dine at Parlor Pizza Bar, I hope you enjoy the pizza and beer as much as I did!

My 2nd time in this place . The 1st time was great . This time ordered same items and the pizza had about 25%of cheez lol . When , spoke to rhe server , he called the manager in duty , the manager told me , he could give me 50% off the pizza bc I had eaten about half . Wow!! —speechless . I won’t be coming back here anymore.

We have never been to Chicago and this was our first stop for food in the city..we are more than happy with the service and the food. Double cheeseburger and Sg Pepper pizza was soooo good!! Loren also made us some amazing drinks, you have to try the prickly pear margarita!

The pizza was fantastic! I sat outside, and the atmosphere was perfect. The sidewalk and streets were buzzing with activity. I soaked up my surroundings. It was such a good energy. My waiter, Darren, made it all the better. So kind and friendly. Like we've been friends for years. He used my name every time he came to the table, which added a very personal touch.

I’m a regular at Parlor, usually at the West Loop location where I’ve never been disappointed—but this visit fell short. The pizza crust was soggy, and the dessert was disappointing: thin strawberry slices that didn’t even make up a whole strawberry, only three cherries, barely a drizzle of fudge, and a “confetti sprinkle” shell with no sprinkles in sight. I don’t mind the 3% surcharge for rising costs, but I expect the same quality I’m used to. By the time dessert arrived, it was an hour before closing, so I didn’t say anything, assuming the kitchen was closed. The highlights were our great server and the manager who welcomed us at the start.

My partner and I came here on a late Thursday afternoon during their happy hour. It was the best pizza in the city in my opinion, at least for Neapolitan style and their happy hour specials, the best in the city! We were sat down immediately and it's a very spacious restaurant. Our waitress was attentive and nice. We ordered their Cheesus, Mary, and Joseph and Abe Froman's Fave. The cheesus, Mary, and Joseph were super rich and delicious. The ricotta cheese along with the garlic and mozzarella made this pizza heavenly. I'm surprised how pronounced the garlic was in this pizza, I love garlic and it was noticeable (usually at other places it's not so much) but I enjoyed it so much. Definitely try it with red chili flakes and oregano to bring it to a whole new level. If you like white sauces pizza and lots of cheese, this is your best friend. I would order this pizza again! The Abe Froman's Fave were our favorite because it was a complex pizza with different flavors and textures. It had sausage, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, and spinach. Everything worked so well together perfectly, every bite had something different so it was delectable. Definitely would get this again. Both the crusts of the pizzas were baked to perfection. It was charred beautifully, the crust had a nice chew, and it wasn't soggy in the middle. Highly recommend their pizzas, you won't go wrong with any choice you make. I will 100% come back again! Again, can't beat those happy hour prices.

Fun location and menu, but WAY overpriced. Paid $12 for a shaved brussel salad ($17 w the chicken upgrade) and got the equivalent of a side salad and maybe 5 Chick fil a nuggets. Like I get it's on me for ordering a salad at a pizza place, but I didn't want to pay $22+ for an average pizza. The salad tasted good but I would recommend against it in the future because it was simply so small. Drinks were also slightly overpriced (but I get that it's River North). Overall was just disappointed leaving here. Will plan on sticking to happy hour in the future.

Reservation for 3 at Parlor Pizza Bar - River North. I enjoyed my experience and the variety of the menu and have never seen hummus/veggies as an option at a pizza place before. I'll need to come back when the weather gets nice to take advantage of their outdoor dining spaces!! Enjoyed How Stracciatella Got Her Groove Back and Honey Boo Boo. We rated these pizzas 3.5/5. I normally go for red sauce pizzas and branched out with the garlic based sauce with honey boo boo. Would order How Stracciatella Got her Groove Back again! Inside it is dark with sports tvs all over and music. Be mindful of that when booking. It's a great spot for a casual meal with close friends, but don't expect to have an intimate conversation. Staff was outstanding with promptly getting our orders in and food delivered. Friendly staff as well!

We got in town earlier than expected and wandered into Parlor Pizza looking for dinner on a Thursday night. We were able to get a table right away on the outside patio. I ordered a Paloma to start and we also got two pizzas and a BLT. The hot chicken pizza was REALLY good! My kids split a sausage pizza and enjoyed it as well. My husband's BLT had thick cut bacon and was a large portion. Everything came out hot and quickly. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back!

Overall, I think it's a great atmosphere to kick back to grab some drinks and appetizers to share. I ordered the honey boo boo pizza and wasn't very impressed by it. I felt like it was missing flavor and had a very basic taste. The appetizers I had shared with my coworkers were all great! We ordered a variety of them and none of them were a disappointment. I'm surprised this place doesn't have any deep dish pizza. The service from our waitress was great. I would come back here only for drinks and appetizers!

Fantastic outing to Parlor Pizza Bar! If you're looking for some apps they had some amazing ones - we got a bunch for the table - my favorite were the calamari and the Brussel sprouts! I also tried one of their drinks (something fruity with gin) and it was beautifully balanced and the perfect amount of sweet. The Honey Boo Boo pizza was also very good! The service was great even for a larger group, they were attentive and got our food out in a very timely manner. It's definitely a little loud in there because there's so many tables which is fun for a casual night out, they also had a bunch of baseball games on!

Stumbled upon this pizza bar on our walk around downtown Chicago. It was pretty busy when arrived, but we were immediately seated. All the food that we ordered was phenomenal. We ordered three different types of pizzas and shared amongst each other and I highly recommend each of them. My sister had the chicken sandwich and she loved it if you're looking for something other than pizza.

The chairs here are ridiculously uncomfortable. Honestly can never stay here for more than a drink or two because the chairs are so bad. Service and food is decent.

Great food Great food Good service Caesar salad - probably one of the best. Small portion for the price but definitely worth it. Kale & Artichoke Dip - pairs really well with wood fired bread. Aunt Chilada Chicken Pizza - a fusion pizza that doesn't disappoint. Full of flavor.

Parlor Pizza Bar is such a great pizza place in Chicago! I have visited this restaurant prior and returned to bring a friend who is currently visiting Chicago. The restaurant, itself, is very cute. It is dimly lit and has such a nice and relaxing ambiance. I ordered the Honey boo boo pizza, which I had eaten before, and I was not at all disappointed. The pizza was juicy and very flavorful. You certainly could taste the garlic that was used in the pizza. The crust is on the thinner side, but I personally am a fan of thin crust pizza. I would certainly recommend this item off of the menu! The service was mediocre. The server probably came over to our table once or twice and did not seem as if she wanted to be there. Regardless, I would recommend this place to visitors in the Chicago area.

I had a very disappointing experience. My wife and I stopped by for a drink and some food. She was in a cheerful mood and slightly tipsy -- not causing any trouble, not loud, and we hadn't even sat down yet. Despite this, the manager approached us in a dismissive and disrespectful tone, saying she "didn't look good" and that they would not serve us any alcohol. We weren't given a chance to explain or even be seated. We were treated unfairly based on an assumption, not our behavior. This kind of judgmental attitude was uncalled for and frankly embarrassing. We left quietly without any argument, but we won't be coming back. Hospitality should be about welcoming people -- not making snap judgments and turning them away without reason. This is a casual place not a fine dine restaurent where we have to be sophisticated But manager was so rude

This was one of the best meals I had on my last trip to Chicago. A coworker and I stopped in for a weekday lunch, so we had no trouble getting a seat--but from what I hear, it does get quite busy at more popular hours. I've had Happy Camper a few times as well, but I liked this place much better. We split the Glazed Brussels Sprouts and Great Balls of Fire and Honey Boo Boo pizzas. The Brussels sprouts were about half cooked, so a lot of them were difficult to eat. The pizza (not deep dish) was delicious! We both went home with ample leftovers. I might suggest smashing or halving the garlic cloves on the Honey Boo Boo; some of those bites were very intense.

Yum!! Service was great, food was delicious, and prices were really good. The happy hour deals are fantastic.

Had a reservation but found room at the bar. The bartender was great and rang in our items right away. We shared the cheesy garlic knot which pulled apart. Great selection of beers and tried a dry cider too with the spicy sausage. Bartenders constantly checked in on us. Great food and great service.

Food and drinks were way better than I expected. One of my more favorite vodka sauces. The margaritas were also sooo delicious

Going here on a Saturday night the vibes were lively. We made sure to make a reservation being a party of 10. Service was quick, the server took orders as ready instead of waiting for the whole table which was nice when people were ready. The paloma is not something I would get again, it was a little too tart for my taste. I also ordered the You Make Me Corny Pizza with bacon added. It was definitely corny, it had a great spice level but didn't leave a lot of room for other flavors. This would have been even better with extra lime garlic aoli and if the crust was a little crispier. The corn made some pieces way too soft or soggy. In love as a side they have the best pizza trio: parm, red pepper flakes, and ia Italian seasoning blend. I would love to go back and try some other menu items because I keep hearing amazing things about the pizzas and burger!

Food - Pizza style is somewhere close to new york style. Burrata pizza had a lot of depth of flavor (strong truffle). Both pies tasted like high quality ingredients were used. Some slices were lacking in cheese and structural integrity, but other than that, it was a good pizza experience! Service - Fast and friendly service. Explained the offerings and even promoted the happy hour menu; buy one get one free pizza! Ambiance - Dark and cozy vibes, sports on all screens, indoor and outdoor seating available. Charging outlets available at some tables.

This restaurant is usually packed. Make reservations in advance! Creative, eclectic pizzas can feed 2 people if you get an appetizer; otherwise feeds 1 person with about 1/3 of the pizza left over (for most people). Service was very fast - despite the place being packed. Impressive when every table is taken - we got our pizza 15 minutes after ordering. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. Tables around the bar. I had a Honey Boo Boo pizza - it had actual honey in the sauce. Besides standard pizzas they have one with pulled pork and one with chicken (at least). There was a good amount of cheese. There are several appetizers - they call it "pre-pizza" for just munching and sharing with friends.

They are a factory! Even with a packed house they cranked out our food very fast. The ceaser salad was a nice size to share but it wasn't anything special. The huge chunk of parm was really hard and not very flavorful. The truffle pizza with arugula on top was really great though. Great flavors and the dough was nice. It's super loud inside when it's busy. Outdoor seating in the spring and summer is probably a better move. I want to come back for happy hour.

The food was amazing here! I went with two other people and we got two pizzas to share and they were both amazing. I will say the Margherita pizza is pretty standard, it's good but nothing unique or exceptional, however the enchilada pizza is absolutely delicious! One of my favorite pizzas I've ever had by far! It's a cute spot as well and the service was pretty fast!

I stopped at Parlor Pizza for lunch and was very happy with it. They have great music and fun vibes so it's definitely a good spot for groups and happy hour. Our sever was great and helped us narrow down pizza and beer options. We ordered the Hot Chix, Sgt Pepper and Margarita pies. All were excellent but surprisingly, my favorite was the Hot Chix. It was sooo good! They also had really good frozen espresso martinis which I recommend. I know this place isn't a traditional Chicago pizza spot but it was very good! Check it out if you're in the area!

Great food and drinks, enjoyed a manhattan and pepperoni pizza. Very fast service. Dark ambiance inside, but would love to try the patio next time. I'll be back! I would say I just don't want to feel rushed next time. It was a busy Friday so I understand but I think we were 45 min in and out, and felt rushed. Really my only negative comment though!

Visited for st pattys and environment was welcoming and enjoyed the marsh madness on the tv as well. Our server was informative when asking for salad sizing and let us know recommendations of pizzas. We built our own with San Marzano sauce, mozzarella and spicy soppressata. I'd recommend, it was spicy but was enjoyable between the two of us. Only thing that kind of sucked was how runny the pizza was when trying to eat it. Cesar salad was good they have great dressing. Drink wise we got a ginger beer and a coke which it was the usual, nothing crazy.

I was in charge of planning a dinner for a large group for work (18). Making the reservation was a breeze on OpenTable. The menu offered a variety of food and they had a great drink options! I had the Cheesus. Mary & Joseph pizza, Caesar salad and calamari (all delicious)! Dinner was a hit and everyone was pleased with the dining experience. Our server, Maria R. was excellent! Highly recommend!

Tldr: would come again, happy hour deal Came here for the M-F 4-6p happy hour deal with $5 appetizers (typically half the portion size of a regular appetizer) and BOGO pizza Food: burrata pizza with arugula, very fresh though would appreciate more flavor and seasoning. Great balls solid with red sauce, meatballs and pepperoni. Looking forward to try their other happy hour items. Perfect for any size groups. Easily accommodated large groups for their large seating area. Request to sit outside on a nice day. Ambiance: sit by the bar for a more personalized experience and watch the game Location: take a stroll on the river walk and grab a late lunch or early dinner here

We came here with a last minute reservation and it was a great choice! Service was fast and we got to sit outside. While we waited for our table we just went and got drinks at the bar, it was a fun time!

Really flavorful pizza, we got the hot chicks flavor. Really accommodating to food allergies - the chef came over to our table to talk to us about it. Really cool ambiance too! Over all great experience!

This is going to be a long post : 3rd year planning a family dinner here on NYE as it's also my sisters birthday .. a group of 10 . Pit server is the same guy we had last year .. great service and all. Reservation was 7-9 .. we have NEVER been rushed previously . Yesterday at 8:20 or so we were told it's last call as they have a private event . Hmmm. So our food just got to the table , we couldn't eat it and enjoy it and we're being rushed . I also brought candles to celebrate my sisters birthday .. and we didn't even have time for desert . I live in the city , I frequent places that I love and have no problem spending money there . My bill was over $500 for a meal we couldn't finish and it was put into to go containers . Very disappointing all around and the manager did not seem to care one bit . I confirmed my reservation prior via OpenTable and via a link in my email .. neither of these notified me of a private event or that my large party would be rushed . Unfortunately it's put a bad taste in my mouth and as I said , 3 years here in NYE and many many more times throughout the year to receive this type of service is not acceptable .

Been here twice and the food was great. Service was the best as well. Always friendly and on top of it. Manger walks around even to check on you!

Food: One of my favorite places in the city for pizza! The stracciatella got her groove back is a MUST! I'm vegetarian so I order it without the sopressata and it's fantastic. It's the perfect amount of spice/creamyness with the San marzano tomato sauce, cheese, and the chili oil. We also got the margherita pizza but the stracciatella one was 10x better. If you have a sweet tooth and are a fan of hazelnut flavored things you have to get the go nuts Choco taco! It's soooo good. I've definitely come here before just for dessert and it never disappoints. Ambience - very lively! You can also get high top seating right on front of the pizza ovens and can see your pizza being freshly made.

Delightful, Delicious, & Daring! My best friend and I dined at Parlor Pizza on a Friday night on a day when Chicago was getting hit with a few inches of snow. But we braved the cold and made our way through the snow for some Happy Hour fun - and boy, am I so glad we did! Happy Hour at Parlor Pizza is from 4-6pm every week day which is rare to come by in the city. The restaurant wasn't very busy for a Friday night, but my guess is the snow was to blame for that. But the ambiance was very fun and casual. My only complaint was the lighting - it was rather dark in there which made it a little hard to see. We enjoyed some delicious and refreshing Don't Be A Prickly Pear Margaritas followed by the Fried Calamari as our appetizer. The fried calamari were perfectly breaded and came with two dipping sauces: spicy marinara & a sweeter chipotle chimichurri sauce. Both were exquisite! For dinner, I got the Sgt. Pepper Pizza which was so creative and tasty! The pepperoni pieces were big and thick but were complimented well by the creamy cheeses and white truffle oil. My best friend got the Little Stinker pizza and she loved the flavor combination. It was well-balanced with an innovative leek béchamel, mushrooms, cheeses, and she added the white truffle oil! I applaud Parlor Pizza on their delectable crust and creative combinations of high-quality ingredients! For dessert, we indulged in one of the Dessert Dealer's tacolatos (dessert tacos). We shared the Cookie Monster one, and boy was it delicious! Such a fun way to satisfy your sweet tooth! Overall, Parlor Pizza in River North has some of the most tasty, creative, and fun Neapolitan pizzas and cocktails that you'll ever find in the windy city!

One of the best pizza I had! The dough is perfectly done and the sauce is amazing, there's nothing to improve. Service was good too and the price was reasonable even though the place charges a 3% fee already added to your check which is weird

excellent service, very spacious & was seated quickly despite walk in. We ordered the You Make Me Corny pizza and Honey Boo Boo pizza and the watermelon salad. The watermelon salad was super refreshing with julienned basil and goat cheese. The pistachio added a nuttiness that could have done without but was additive nutritionally. The flavor creativity of both pizzas was really fun but the pizza bottoms were burnt, adding a gross burnt aftertaste. I was going to tell the server but he never checked in on my side of the table. I would eat these pizzas again if they weren't burnt.

Great pizzas. Fast service and very fun place to sit outside in the patios Good for a mix of people.

Great place. Pizza has delicious crust and good flavor sauce. Service is amazing! Server came by often. Manager came by, introduced himself and swung by a couple more times. Then others came by multiple times. They must have a huge training/focus on "service." It shows. I'd go again.

Good enough experience, unmentioned Restaurant Surcharge on bill feels like a shady business practice to me, therefore only 3 stars. I hope restaurants stop trying to scam customers with these type of fees go forward.

I've been to parlor multiple times it's just a quick and easy place to stop by for lunch. the kale and artichoke dip is always great and i've had the margherita pizza many times which a classic option (best with the spicy tomato sauce). the drinks are solid and the outdoor patio is great for the summer time. they also have a great deal for happy hour

I have been here a few times now. They have Allagash and a decent margherita pizza. This time, I just wanted a smash burger to go. If you are in the mood for something greasy and cheesy, this is a good choice. I was happy with it and they paid attention to what I asked for on the side. I will say that there was not enough dressing for the salad, so get extra. I also did not know that the ranch had spice in it, but it was ok. The service here is always friendly and quick.

Best pizza I've had in forever! The balsamic is the best I've ever had. Truly I wish I could have it on all my pizzas. I also ordered the dark chocolate almond croissant and was surprised it actually came with two! Our server was great! It wasn't busy around noon and our food came out pretty quickly.

Good pizza. Super close to springhill suites and fast online ordering. Peanut butter bomb was big but ok.

Got a reservation for a big group here. They've got a wide variety of pizzas and all things very sports-barsy. Service was pretty quick. But I wasn't a huge fan of the pizza - felt very doughy and stuffy. Would prefer a pizza with many more ingredient options that aren't all cheese.

I walked in by myself hoping I could get a real taste of Chicago pizza before I left the city and then I found out that they didn't serve by slices. I was still convinced to buy a whole pizza for myself though and I do not regret it! (Though, contrary to belief, the slices are bigger than you might think so if you don't normally eat many slices of pizza in one sitting, this may not be your best option ) I sat at the bar and ordered a Burrata Be Kidding Me pizza! I was glad the bartender made small talk with me because it was my first time dining out by myself so it was a comfortable experience. The pizza came out and I started digging in. I loved the strong vinaigrette and truffle oil taste that was well balanced with the arugula. Overall, loved the setting and it's such a chill place to eat at or drink at near the Riverwalk! Thank you for the shot of plum pickle shot!

Everything we ordered was great. Neapolitan type pizza made right from on-premises oven and great salads. Efficient service

We had a last minute large group looking for a place for dinner and Parlor Pizza Bar was very accommodating! The portions are very large, but very tasty. All the different pizza names made us laugh and was a great experience.

This place deserves 5 stars! My wife and I went for Happy Hour. We ordered their fries, which comes with three dipping sauces. The Siracha honey mustard was amazing! Kept it to dip my crust in. Ordered the You Make Me Corny and Honey Boo Boo. Both had fabulous flavor and with their happy hour pricing, one was free! Took home 4 pieces for breakfast the next morning. Our server, Maria, was incredible. Skip Lou Manati's and Giordano's and go here if you are in Chicago!

Stopped in at pizza parlor around 2:30 on Thursday. It was not busy at all since it was in between lunch and dinner. We ordered a margarita pizza to split. It was ordered and service was fast and efficient as was its arrival. Pizza arrived within 7 minutes of us ordering. We sat outside of the restaurant and enjoyed the nice weather and the pizza. They provided a water jug for our lunch and it was perfect! An excellent pizza with excellent service, we would visit again if in the Chicago area! Definitely check them out!

Ordered online for delivery. Got delivered about 40-45 minutes after ordering which is great but arrived cold. I don't mean lukewarm, cold like it has been in fridge for 10-15 minutes and then taken out and delivered. Had to microwave wave it to get it lukewarm which of course ruined it. What a total waste of $37.00. NEVER AGAIN

Came here for a late lunch after a long day and I was quickly attended to. I ordered the glazed brussels sprouts since it was happy hour and it was $5 apps. Enjoyed with a pepperoni pizza and it was just what i needed. Finished the whole thing and i'm not really a big eater. I loved the bar area , felt more of a vibe. I was hoping they had deep dish pizza but i'll find it somewhere else. Would recommend

Stumbled across this place while we were looking for Chicago style pizza. They did not have but we were so pleasantly surprised at how delicious the Neapolitan style pizza was. Ordered magherita and pepperoni and both were great. The pepperoni was the absolute best we have ever had. We also ordered Brussels sprouts glazed in syrup that was phenomenal. Drinks were delicious and strong. We ordered margaritas. We came during happy hour so that had lots of great specials on food and drinks. Restaurant had nice dimmed lighting, some nice photo op areas. And great service. Manager came to the table to review allergies and made suggestions for alternatives.
