Parry’s Pizzeria & Taphouse — Restaurant in San Antonio

We went last night for dinner and overall the food was amazing and the beers had an amazing selectionto choose from. Let me start with the bad so we can get that out of the way and talk about the amazing things about this place. The one and only complaint I had was our waitstaff. There were three issues we experienced but overall did not ruin the evening. The first issue was when I received my meal the waitstaff who brought it just stood there with plate in hand and did not say anything when she arrived, she just stared at us. I said oh thats mine and she just kind of slammed it down and walked away. Then I was missing an item from my Italian sandwich. It comes with pickled Giardiniera which is a mixture of peppers, olives and etc. When I asked about it my waitress had no idea what I was talking about. I had to show her on the menu and she stated "I'll go for out..I don't know what that is." Knowledge of the menu is important but to me that was no big deal. I received the item and problem was resolved. Then later into dinner we order a michelada. For those who aren't familiar with them they are basically a spicy bloody Mary but less tomato-based and is mixed with beer. While drinking it we realized there were no limes with it so we asked our waitress for some. She left and shortly after brother 2 slithers (the small type for garnish) and gave them to us by hand. Correct you read that right. It was not on a dish or a napkin or even her wearing gloves. She was holding them in her and handed it to us. At that point I saw the manager walk by and asked to speak to him. I expressed that I was not looking for free items or any favors but to inform them to help his staff learn from this. He apologized and stated he would speak to her for sanitation purposes. Again problem resolved and we hope the waitress learns the importance of proper handling of food. After we paid and were about to leave the manager came back to our table and handed us a card for a free specialty pizza. He again thanked us for informing him and stated he did talk to his staff members about properly handling food. Now the good stuff!

The food did not take long and they have at least 20 beers on tap which is great hence the taphouse in the name. Below you will see a calzone pepperoni. The crust was cooked to perfection and the cheese was perfectly melted. Only critique is when ordering this I would recommend asking for extra pepperoni. The cheese heavily out weighs the pepperoni. The next item (those of you that follow me already know what's next) we have a spicy chicken sandwich. My family is big of chicken sandwiches so it's a normal must to try. There chicken sandwich comes with tenders inside not a whole patty. For some that's a deal breaker on the sandwich but I myself love them all equally until the flavor comes into play. My opinion is its a pretty basic chicken sandwich without making it buffalo style. We got the buffalo sauce on the side to give an opinion both ways. I recommend the buffalo sauce for sure. Lastly we got an Italian sandwich. That sandwich was made too perfection. It had Italian dressing, a nice amount of oregano, tomatoes, lettuce, ham, pepperoni and salami with a nice toasted bread and melted cheese. Very good! Overall I highly recommend even with the hiccups from the staff. I believe this place is fairly new but I will not rate a great restaurant that had a few hiccups. I'll go again sometime and update my review to see if the experience is better....

Surprised the grandson with our first visit to Parry's. He'd been talking about how good NY style pizza is (he previously had some pizza on a trip to NYC). Well, we went to Parry's for lunch on 8-22-2023. Wow!!! Not only was pizza and French Dip sandwich awesome and above expectations, but from the time we entered and were seated, it was a 1st class experience. Our Server, Chris was the most professional, friendly and respectful young man to ever serve us at ANY restaurant we've ever dined at. Our drink glasses were NEVER allowed to be empty and he offered "to go" cups on top of all that he'd already served us. Noticing that I had a USMC logo shirt on, he sincerely thanked me for my service. By the way, a Military Discount is a great way to say "thanks" and is highly appreciated. The Manager, David, treated us like royalty and even provided us a delicious "first timer's" gift. Looking around, all the other patrons also seemed to be enjoying their meals, drinks, etc. Due to high winds (not to mention the heat), outside seating never entered our minds. We chose a booth which was very comfortable and spacious. The cleanliness of the restaurant is above reproach which indicates great management. The TVs are well-positioned for great views. I see us watching a Packers game and having more pizza and such, at Parry's, in the very near future. Don't drive by...give Parry's a try! O.k. I just came up with that one and it might be cheesy but it's not as cheesy as the great pizza we had! The prices are reasonable and the pizza slices were HUGE but really good and manageable when we folded them "taco-style". We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Parry's Pizzeria & Taphouse. THANKS TO EVERYONE AT PARRY'S! You all...

Busy Memorial Day weekend crowd this Sunday. 20 minute wait went by quickly, then we were seated and greeted promptly with drinks arriving soon after. I have to mention what others mentioned as well, if you're more than 4, you may need to wait longer for a table. Other than bar, About 85% of tables are booths for 4 with occasional round corner table for more and a stretch of half chair/bench seating available as well. BIG MAN ALERT The booth seating will make you regret all your past indulgences and wonder why you didn't start your diet sooner, and more importantly, why you're eating pizza..🤦‍♂️ Luckily the hostess noticed and she politely asked "Are you too tall for the booth?" Was very lucky and happy that she noticed an opening on the chair/bench area and moved us right away. We started off with the Italian nachos which were extremely tasty, but were not "smothered in Alfredo sauce" like menu said. Almost seemed like they completely forgot to put it on? But they were amazing once they brought us some! THE PIZZA WAS DELICIOUS, SO CHEESY, AND GOOD CRUST but we did notice the "toppings" are diced really, really small. If you zoom in on pic, you'll see. This was The Five Boroughs pizza, like a Supreme. Again, still really delicious, just never seen toppings diced up like this. They do have a great many beers on tap, just nothing, that I thought, was out of the ordinary. And Sunday's "All Day Happy Hour" - as far as beer is concerned- only includes Parry's Signature Beers, which are only 2 options, and "$4 Parry's Pints" are also only these two beers. 🤷‍♂️ All in all, will definitely return again, just...
