Parry's Sliceria & Taps — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

Tasty food, Yummy drinks, Superb service!

I wish I'd gotten the bartenders name- She makes an exceptional margarita, tailored to your taste as she asks "do you prefer it more tart or sweet?" Tart for me, salt on the rim and I was one happy camper! I sampled and then ordered a glass of the Mango Margarita Beer, so so amazing, delicious, flavorful and filling. Highly recommend that beer. I also sampled the Atomic Pumpkin Beer and about puked in my mouth. It was horrendous! Tasted like I was drinking perfume- another at the table agreed after trying it. Didn't even finish the sample it was so very bad.

The boneless Zesty Mild Buffalo wings were incredible. And definitely best when eaten in person at the restaurant. I highly recommend the wings: the texture, crisp edges, flavorful sauce and boneless chicken breast all come together wonderfully. The breading is thin yet crispy so you get plenty of meat with minimal delectable breading. Well worth it.

I enjoy the thin crust pizza. We ordered 4 different slices; The Uncle Sam, The Five Boroughs, Pepperoni Sicilian + 1 Pepperoni Sicilian w/ jalapeños. The slices are so big we cut them down the middle and shared! Each of us had a favorite, and we're happy with our slices.

The KNICKERBOCKER CHEESY BREAD is fantastic! And a fave- delivered or in the restaurant -this one holds true to flavor. My 20 year old son loves this bread and it is a must when we eat at Parry's together. Which means, it's consistently made and delicious we know what to expect each time.

There was a bit of a wait for bar drinks, but worth it. Service overall was superb.

There was plenty of leftovers to take home.

We sat out on the patio, it also offered access to the bar without having to go back inside. Great location, food drinks and atmosphere!

Highly recommend dining in at this restaurant.

Excuse the pictures, I sometimes slack on taking them before we start to devour the food. This would be "sometimes".

I also want to state that this is an updated review. Ericka, a manager at this location reached out after a delivery review I left, inviting us to dine in person. We did, and I'm so happy to have given this restaurant an opportunity in person, it's well worth the visit. Thank you Erica for your attention, care, concern and resolve in regards to my satisfaction as a customer. I can truly appreciate ownership, accountability and resolve and Erica displayed all of those! She's got an incredibly fun, genuine, happy energetic energy all while remaining professional. Go try to NOT smile around her.

All parties (3 of us) agreed 4 stars was a fair rating/ review.

I've attached screen shots of the original delivery review as I deleted it to update it...

I typically don't make reviews like this, but I must be heard. I know this location has new staff, and this might include the bartender. We came in on Friday, June 16th, 30 minutes before happy hour ended.

I love parrys as they have always delivered good food and service, but this location, in specific, seemed to be having trouble on the customer service end. The bartender greeted us right away but then forgot about us several times. Other patrons even asked where the bartender went as they heard us talk about the wait. They even jokingly said hes a food critique in which i replied by saying that I actually do local reviews on google as a hobby. The bar was full, and it took about 10-15 minutes to get the first round of drinks for a cocktail and wine. I am pretty understanding in general but even worse, after she dropped the drinks off she kept taking care of people coming up to the end of the bar instead of taking care of everyone else at the bar. This resulted in me waiting 25 minutes before I could ORDER any food. I had to go to the register to get my order in, where I then told the manager that her bartender was overwhelmed. The manager saved the day by helping a complaint about a tab and serving just about every seat at the rail another round of drinks. I got my food, and there was no fresh jalapeños for my burger. I specifically asked the young lady who was training at the register no sauce and fresh jalapeños 3 times. I can tell she was struggling as she was training. No problem there. But my burger has no jalapeños and when it came to getting my jalapeños I asked another young lady who was running expo with her manager. She asked the kitchen for fresh jalapeños. Then the kitchen gave her pickled jalapeños and she said, "Here you go." I then mention how I wanted only fresh as it says that's an option on the menu. She then replied back along the lines of "soo you don't want it?" And I said "no thanks" where she then had a slight displeasure on her face like I was rude. After all this, I have been there for about an hour, and this is where the bartender finally touched her table with us and asked how we were doing, and I asked for the bill. She was a bit confused as we had food but not on her bar tab. I told her I ordered at the register, and your manager took care of us. The tab is right.

To wrap it up, FOH service was subpar. The manager should have been more aware of her bartender and her capabilities (this was the bartender that has the story of being struck by lightning). I hope she is new, and if she isn't, it falls on the manager to be able to identify and catch these issues sooner...

We have passed by Parry’s Pizza on Nevada, just South of Downtown, for far too long. Pizza and wings are a family favorite, so it has been a restaurant we have wanted to try for a long time.

When you walk in, you wait in line to order at the front counter. The wall on the left has paintings of local brewery logos, indicating the good times also available for purchase at the bar, which runs the length of the right side of the restaurant. Favorites like Red Leg Brewing Co. and 5 Star Brewery are indicators of how Parry’s likes to support military service.

We ordered 2 pizzas for our family of 4, along with 10 wings, a beer and a few sodas. The bill came in under $40, which felt pretty reasonable, given that you can’t go to most quick service or drive through restaurants anymore for less than $10 per person. We took our number to the table to anxiously await our order.

There are several TVs around the restaurant, broadcasting live sports games and what appeared to be an ‘extreme challenge sport’ YouTube channel. I guess I am old if I have to label it that way, but my kids were entertained, so that was a win. We played a quick game of I spy, and then our pizzas were delivered - hot, fresh, melty goodness!

Pizzas are a tough food to discuss in an unbiased fashion. Much like local sports teams, it’s all about what you grew up with, what you consider your standard, and how open you are to considering that there are other pizzas out there that are prepared just as good as, if not better than, your favorite. With that in mind, I will tread lightly.

Parry’s has a lovely generic pizza. The crust is relatively thin, reminiscent of the pizza we ate in New York. However, at a much smaller diameter, the slices are petite in comparison. You could eat easily 2-3 slices for every one legit New York slice. The flavors were thoughtful, the crust was chewy with a hint of crisp on the bottom from the oven, but it did not have a unique, artisan feel. Something about the restaurant felt very corporate - maybe it was the cleanliness, the overall lack of local personality. We were perfectly satisfied with our meal and would eat at Parry’s again, but I can’t say I would recommend it to someone visiting town that wants to experience a quintessential Colorado restaurant.

The kids were exceptionally well behaved at dinner, so we treated the family to dessert. Worth noting, with a peanut allergy in the family, Parry’s can absolutely accommodate. They have a fried dough dessert with choice of chocolate or caramel sauce to dip. We tried both and there were sticky thumbs up all...
