Let 's just say I would rather be abstinent the rest of my life than have another encounter with Parlor.My main complaint is the crust. I *hope* that it was a mistake tonight, but it seems like it is made with wheat flour. The result reminds one of a first attempt with an at home bread maker. My first introduction to it was with the garlic knots. I though to myself, Weird dough (and no garlic). I hope the pizza isn 't like this. I was sadly disappointed as it was exactly as weird and distasteful.I would like to tell you that the toppings saved the day, but alas no. The toppings are fine, but the cheese seemed more artificial than other American mozzarellas. There also was not enough sauce, but I recognize I like more sauce than most people.Because it was carry out, I can 't really gage the service or ambience, but the pizza was much, much worse than Dominos. It feels like this is a situation where the pizza is a slave to the concept of Detoit style pizza, hell or high water, and taste be damned.Save your money and get Dominos, or even consider microwaving a frozen pizza.Upped from one to two stars as my two year old scrapes the toppings off.Edit $60

Has a Parmesan cheese crusted Detroit style crust that is life. You can choose one of their creations or make your own (even half and half). Cheese curds are also delicious... Some of the best I've had. The Ace Guava Cider is now one of my favorite drinks! I only hope I can find it out in the wild for home ?Service is pretty great too. We made a reservation online and our table was ready when we got there with menus and ice waters waiting. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu with plenty of selections

Delicious! We’ve ordered takeout and dined in, and both experiences were fantastic! Little Pink Houses is a favorite of ours. Their crust is unbeatable! Be sure... read more Delicious!

Be sure to go during happy hour for generous slices for just $5!

Nice staff and fun casual atmosphere! The gluten free pizza is the thick Detroit style but this time it was a bit undercooked. Could have used a bit more sauce... read more Nice staff and fun casual atmosphere! The gluten free pizza is the thick Detroit style but this time it was a bit undercooked. Could have used a bit more sauce so waitress brought us a small ramekin and it all worked out! Our favorite was the bacon wrapped dates so good! ?
