pizza parlor

Pie by slice

A pizza parlor is a casual restaurant specializing in pizza, typically offering eat-in seating, takeout, and often delivery.

The term has an old-fashioned ring—*pizzeria* or *pizza shop* are now more common—but remains in use, especially for establishments with a nostalgic, neighborhood feel: The old pizza parlor on Main Street has been there since 1965.
