The Parlor Pizzeria


The Parlor Pizzeria came highly recommended by Kalen. He said that the pizza with the Schreiner's sausage was incredible. (Salsiccia: Schreiner's "Parlor Brand" sausage, Grilled radicchio, sage, saba.) The restaurant is located on Camelback between 18th and 20th Street. It is easier to find if you think that it is "across the street from Best Buy". There is ample parking and it looks like there is access to a neighboring parking lot. Good call, because I think that this place will fill up quickly.

I took my 3Day Walk training partner Samantha to try out this new place. We ordered (and shared) a roasted beet salad and ate it before I remembered to take a photo. Small red and orange beets with cheese and salad greens. Very good! Then we decided to split a 14" Funghi pizza, with wild mushrooms, goat cheese, chives, and drizzled with truffle oil. Sooooo very good. I'll try the Schreiner's sausage pizza on another day as I will definitely return.

We shared two deserts so that we could try both. The first one was a (still warm) deep dark chocolate cake with Italian cherries, vanilla crema and chocolate sauce. It is shown above as an empty plate, and a half eaten piece of chocolate cake. Sorry...we dug into that desert quickly. The other desert was a tart. very good, but it is difficult to follow chocolate done well.

This is a quick shot of the outdoor patio. This will be very nice with the fire going (and when it gets cooler). Perhaps our nights are still mild enough to enjoy this great seeting area.
Urban feel, good staff, informative. It is a new additional to the local scene and opened at the end of May, 2009. I liked it and will return.
