Parlor’s Wicker Park outpost is a sprawling bar-pizza concept with big patios, loud music, and a long list of topped tavern pies. It’s less about purist pizza and more about pitchers, shots, and shareable food when your group wants a rowdy afternoon or night outdoors.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a fun, casual date than an intimate one — the energy is lively and loud, which works well if you want activity over quiet conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but expect a wait during prime times. Patio season brings long lines; bar seating may open faster.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier hours can work for families, especially outside the bar rush. Later evenings tilt more toward an adult party crowd.
Best For
Better for: Large groups, lively patio hangs, and party-style pizza nights with drinks and shared plates.
Skip if: You want purist, quiet, or chef-driven pizza — or a low-noise dinner setting.
