A crunchy sensation for a great price
Pizza, one of the main staples of the American cuisine with Italian origins. A lot of people, most Kingsvillians and students, are familiar with Young’s Pizza, but at 816 W. King Ave. sits a little joint called Pizza Parlor.
When you step inside you time travel to the 1950s as Pizza Parlor is fully decorated with a lot of artifacts of that period. Not to mention that they have an actual 1950s Thunderbird parked in the corner of the entry room as well as a jukebox with a variety of songs from different decades.
First let’s talk about the menu. Pizza Parlor offers a wide array of food on their menu like pizza, submarine sandwiches and pasta. The menu itself is not too big nor is it too small. One special they offer Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. is $6 lunch specials.
I ordered one of their 8-inch, three topping pizzas. When the pizza came, I noticed there was no dark color on the cheese which meant there was not a lot of grease. There was an equal distribution of cheese sauce and toppings on this pizza. For this one, I ordered cheddar cheese to be a little extra cheesy.
The crust was incredibly unique. It was hard and crusty on the outside but once I took a bite MAMA MIA, it unleashed the fluffiness of the crust in my mouth. Overall, Pizza Parlor did not disappoint and their lunch specials are well priced. Overall, their food is a 10/10. If I ever want to get a slice of the pie, Pizza Parlor would be my destination.
