Parry's Pizzeria & Taphouse — Restaurant in Avondale

The pizza is always good. Went there 8-10-2023 to celebrate with 15+ other people someone’s birthday. We had called before to make sure there was enough tables to accommodate. Some party goers got there before me and ordered with the waitress .good and beverages. I came I. 20 minutes later and ordered from the bar. I was not part of the first group. I left my tab open. Got my drink and sat outside. Finished my drink, waited and came in and ordered second drink. Bar was less than half full of patrons. The party goers who got there first had STILL not received their drink order. I asked the waitress why and she said the orders were at the bar. I then asked the male bartender if he had the orders. By this time it had been over 40 minutes for their drinks. Remember, they knew we were coming in. I was drinking my second drink before the first party group received their first drink and then the manager came over and told me that i needed to order my drinks from the waitress outside. I did not order any food and had not ever placed an order with her for a drink. I said, why would I wait over an hour for a drink when I can come inside. She stated by us ordering drinks at the bar, which was not half full, we were causing the delay. I did not sit at the bar. I did not make small talk with the male bartender. If that person can’t handle a large group who wants to spend money then how will you ever handle Monday night and Sunday. One patron waited 30 minutes to be told that the beer he ordered was not available. Many waited close to an hour to get a drink. Some how I was blamed my the make bartender for the delay when all I did was order drinks and bring them 9 empty glasses. The manager was unbelievable in her interaction and I immediately closed my tab and went to Barrio Queen, 80 feet East and had a great time. Who ever is watching Parry’s, your team is not good. Your team work is worse and chasing customers away can’t be good, however you...

Unfortunately for our family Parry’s Pizza was just not a hit. We stopped by when in the area since we love to try new pizza spots whenever we get the chance. First impression was the parking lot was pretty crammed. It was a bit hard to find a space with all the restaurants sharing the space. I did like that they had a large outside patio. When we walked inside there was a large full bar, plenty of tvs to watch sports with an open area connecting the bar to outside. We had to wait a bit for a hostess to show up and once he did we were greeted. However, he definitely seemed to be having a rough day or at least he acted like it. The restaurant was fairly large and clean. Our waitress came over quickly, took our drink orders and allowed us some time to look over the menu. We ended up with the game time special that came with pizza, wings and their garlic parm bites. I also ordered a small house salad. Everything came out fairly quickly. The salad for me was the best part of the entire meal. Fresh, flavorful and a bit different from your typical basic garden salad. This one included banana peppers, black olives, mixed greens, Parmesan mix etc. the pizza looked great, but fell short. No real flavor. Tasted like basic tomato sauce, no kick to anything including the pepperoni. Pretty doughy pizza. I’d of preferred a bit crispier and definitely more seasoning. The wings were baked which is usually an instant no for me, but we gave them a try. They appeared pretty dry, but were actually moist and ok flavor, but wouldn’t order again. As for the parm bites; a hard no. While the portion was large, they were dry, chewy and lacked flavor. No real butter taste and the Parmesan wasn’t sticking at all . They went mostly untouched. Bummer. I will say prices were decent and the beer selection...

Second time coming here… first time was a train wreck but the place had just opened so figured they were still working out the kinks. Came today 1:30 on a Saturday. Restaurant had a few people at the bar, a large table top inside and maybe 3-4 parties on the patio table… not very busy. Waited in the entrance for ten minutes til finally asking someone if we just seat ourselves. Had been walked by multiple times and not acknowledged until we stopped someone. Was told we had to wait as there was only 1 waiter, proceeded to why we couldn’t just sit somewhere instead of standing by the front doors. Ended up getting a table on the patio (granted yes we just sat ourselves as we were tired of standing at the front counter). I understand if you are short staffed but you have two young men just standing at the front door chatting with each other… maybe help out the single waiter with drinks??? Or something productive? Sat outside for 20 minutes thinking maybe we could at least get a beer until we could place an order but nope, no one ever came over, or any sort of acknowledgment. Needless to say we got up went across the street where we was immediately seated and beer in hand within 5 minutes. Truly was wanting to try out their pizza but if you don’t get the time of day as a customer why would I give you my hard...
