The Parlor

Excellent Pizza and friendly service. I was lucky enough to visit when they were serving an Ox Tail Pizza Special. The meat was tender and the pizza disappeared shortly after they brought it to the table. We ordered a couple of other pies that were also perfectly executed. This place gets an A+.

I come here relatively regularly (both dine in and take out) for pizza. It is always absolutely fantastic! Dining in I’ve never had a problem with service and taking out have never had any issues with waiting a long time or wrong orders etc.
They do not skimp out on any toppings that you want and they are always fresh and delicious. I highly recommend.
There is a great vegan selection also!

5 stars all the way around. I called ahead to make sure I didn't need to pre-order. I did. I asked for their recommendations and was told the VLT was a fan favorite. I went with it. I arrived 15 minutes later to my pizza complete. The guy behind the counter (sorry I forgot to ask his name) was polite and attentive. He asked if I had been there before and offered me a free shirt. He then asked why I hadn't I been there before. I shared I was from a different town and started working 10 minutes from there. He allowed me to try 3 different vegan sauces and their well-seasoned vegan meatballs. 10/10 I highly recommend.

My partner and I stopped by Parlor for the first time today after recently becoming vegan. Upon walking in, we were welcomed by the friendly staff. The restaurant had a nice vibe and the menu had a fair amount of vegan selections and a vegan pizza of the day. We tried “The Strego Nona” and “The Spicy BBQ.” Both were incredibly delicious. The crust was thin, crispy and slightly charred from the brick oven The vegan toppings and sauces were very flavorful. Growing up in CT, I have eaten plenty of New Haven Pizza. Now living in the West Village in NYC, I have eaten a lot of great pizza. The Parlor rivals all of these. We will definitely be back. It is now our favorite pizza restaurant. Recommend all Vegans and Non-Vegans to try The Parlor A Pizza Joint.

A friend recommended I visit this places and I asked does it compare to Grimaldi under the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn and they said yes. I ordered a pie with Buffalo mozzarella. I told the staff I'd eat it when I got home to Brooklyn but it never made it out of CT. It's a small business, with good customer service and great attention to detail. The pizza had thin crust and very natural ingredients and was the bomb. As an aside, I read some of the negative reviews. If the service experienced on a given day is not perfect, there's no need to weaponize a review with one star. A 5 star review makes the business receiving it, want to do better and go the extra mile. A one star review is petty. If you didn't like the food or service, don't visit there again. I'll revisit this pizza joint again. The place was clean, the bathrooms spotless, had outdoor seating and ample parking.

We stumbled on this fantastic place by chance and what a pleasant surprise. Great menu, wonderful vegan options and really friendly/attentive service. The food was fantastic and the service equally so. Would highly recommend this and its definitely worth a visit.

When we heard there was New Haven style pizza in Stratford, we had to come see what it was all about! I was impressed by the thin, light crust and the amount of variety on The Parlor’s menu. Some of our personal favorites were The Florentine and The Buffalo Chicken. The Parlor really nailed the presentation on every pizza as well. Their salads were fresh, and the fried Oreos were great for dessert. I think it’s great how many vegan and vegetarian options are available too! A very casual place to come hang out and enjoy pizza. Wishing them continued success!

First time here. Ordered the Florentine, Omg just the right amount of lemon chicken and spinach. Don’t let me forget the amazing menu, You’re sure not gonna find his pizzas at a regular pizza place. Prices are very reasonable, and the thin crust is scrumptious. Kiddos to the chef and staff. Next time I might try the magic mushroom. Definitely would come back and highly recommend to anyone visiting Stratford area or just want a different delicious pizza.

One of my favorite pizza places in CT. The crust is like nothing else in CT. Mackenzie the owner is very friendly and cooks up some of the best pizzas in CT. With that said it's a pleasure to dine there and bring friends and family.

I own a brick pizza oven and have been making pizza for many years. The Parlor Joint’s pie competes with New Haven’s best. The crust, the proportion of toppings, the management of the oven…. perfection. Give this place a shot and you will be back. They also have a mobile operation (pizza truck) to cater parties. Outstanding pizza!!! And they have a copy of Strega Nona nearby for the kids.

The food and service are MEMORABLE!!! The Parlor was the first restaurant I've eaten at inside since the pandemic. I am so happy we stumbled into this place. Heather and McKenzie have created a true old fashion atmosphere. A place where customers actually speak to each other...with masks and/or 6 feet apart. It's like walking into "Cheers". Thank you for making my friends and family experience in your restaurant a memorable one. Thank you for truly caring about your customers and thank you for the pizza I now crave !!!🥰 Please visit this place so you can see first hand what I am talking about!!!!!

New Haven style thin crust pizza. Best eaten on site and piping hot. One of very few places that offer non dairy cheese that tastes good. Don't overlook the cauliflower bites as an appetizer. Simply the best (sweet BBQ).

Amazing pizza! Also the cauliflower wings were super good and different. It was empty when we went on a Friday afternoon for lunch. Staff was friendly. Plenty of parking in a lot and on the street. Highly recommend!

Our fav pizza place to go in Stratford. We go there frequently. Never had a bad pie. The specials are awesome too. Love the atmosphere, music and service. Love it there!!!

The Parlor is amazing! I feel so lucky as a vegan to go to a pizza place and order off the menu!!! No more "no cheese" red pies for me. There are at least 4 vegan pies on the menu and they even did a plain vegan cheese for my little one who isn't as adventurous with veggies and sauces. I had the VLT (artichokes, roasted red pepper, tempeh bacon, etc) and it was delicious. My mom had the mushroom one (white bean spread, mushrooms, truffle oil, etc) and loved it. We will definitely be back. (fyi they have edible candy like straws for kids but I googled them and they aren't actually vegan because they're made with gelatin so just skip that one.) Non-vegan, there's tons on the menu for you too. All thin crust, "personal" pies but we could have split one for lunch because it's a generous size for a personal pizza.

Nice place. Pizza are nice. Think crust and the taste is also good. People are friendly and helpful. Must recommend.

I love the parlor so much coming here with friends is so nice and such a caring atmosphere. The food is also amazing quality for example the pizza is made in a brick oven and is super fresh and delicious.

I got the OC pizza and it was very good. Solid 7.5 out of 10. It was fake crispy though. I was expecting more of a crunch with the look of it but it was very soft. Not saying thats a bad thing, just deceiving. It's a very light dough. Great flavor. Tasty sauce. Thin crust. Call.me Terminator because I'll be back....

Great pizza! And don’t forget the fries!!

I love this place. The pizza is so delicious and the employees are friendly and welcoming. I moved to FL recently and this is one of the only things I miss about CT. Parlor is possibly the most underrated pizza restaurant in the entire state.
