Description

In the tradition of distinctive Phoenix restaurants tucked into re-purposed old buildings, there's The Parlor, a pizza parlor in a mid-century beauty parlor. It's a fitting concept from father-and- son owners Dan and Aric Mei, who combine a pizza pedigree (they also own Nello's in Ahwatukee) with a great design aesthetic (Aric, an artist, played a significant role in the eco-friendly building renovation and interior decor). The rustic, casual menu of crisp, chewy wood-fired pizza, handmade pasta, sandwiches, and salads pairs well with handcrafted cocktails that utilize fresh herbs from the on- site garden.

And the cleverly conceived pizzas are uniformly delicious, with their thin, bubbly crusts, locally raised and... More »
2010 | Best Place to Take a First Date

Hitting the town with somebody new Tasty eats like grilled asparagus with preserved lemon, delicious handmade pastas (we love the tagliatelle with speck, grilled radicchio, and pecorino crema), juicy burgers, and, of course, pizzas make this parlor a favorite for both lunch and dinner. Craft cocktails, beer, and wine keep conversation well lubricated, so to speak, and if it turns out that your date isn't all that interesting, there's plenty of fun people-watching in the dining room, outdoor...

2009 | Best Hot Spot

In the midst of a gloomy summer that saw the demise of too many favorite Valley restaurants, the debut of The Parlor was undoubtedly a bright spot. To stop by on a weeknight in July (when many places in town were scraping by) you would've been fooled into thinking you were here on a weekend during tourist season, in a much better economy. What is everyone lining up for A recession-proof menu of pizzas from the wood-fired oven (we love the one with Schreiner's sausage), handmade pastas,... More »

By Michele Laudig | Thu, August 27, 2009

How would you define the quintessential Phoenix restaurant? For me, the old cliché about the mythological firebird rising from the ashes rings strangely true when it comes to some of the more distinctive neighborhood spots. We preserve our old bu... More »
