Chicago Hidden Gem #1 — BOGO Pizza! 🍕

Shout‑out to my roommate Kara, who has a magic talent for finding great food spots. She discovered Parlor Pizza Bar — a Chicago chain. We visited the River North location. In summer, everyone sits outside, but the indoor space is huge too! Happy Hour: Monday‑Friday, 4‑6 PM 🕓 Today’s Menu 🍽️ 🍕 Aunt Chilada’s Chicken Pizza Unique, almost Chinese‑style flavor — topped with stir‑fried veggies, savory‑leaning. Thin but chewy crust. 🍕 Thai One On Pizza My personal favorite! Thai‑seasoned meatballs are super fragrant, and there’s broccoli on pizza — a first! (This was our free second pizza during Happy Hour BOGO!) 🦑 HH Fried Calamari Happy Hour deal — just $5. Small portion, but the green dipping sauce is amazing — sweet, spicy, tangy. 🧀 HH Nacho Bites Happy Hour size is smaller than regular but still plenty. Topped with zesty salsa and sweet‑savory meat sauce — cuts the richness perfectly. 🥗 Half Caesar Salad Standard Caesar, but the croutons are crispy, buttery, and delicious. 🧇 Go Nuts A giant waffle wrapped around a chocolate ice‑cream ball — crispy waffle shell, topped with cream and Ferrero Rocher. Highly recommend! Key Details 📍 🍴 Restaurant: Parlor Pizza Bar River North 📍 Address: 405 N Dearborn St, Chicago, IL 60654 💰 Price: $30‑35 per person. Happy Hour is an insane deal — all apps are $5, 12‑inch pizzas are buy‑one‑get‑one‑free (you can choose two different flavors!), and drinks range from $5‑7. Perfect for group outings or office gatherings — cheap, tasty, and fun! #ChicagoEats #PizzaLovers #HappyHour #ParlorPizzaBar #HiddenGem #MustTryChicago
