A parlor is a room where people gather, relax and connect - it's an old-fashioned word for the kind of warm, social space we want Parlor to be. We chose the name because it captures exactly what we're about: a place that feels like it belongs to the people who eat here.
The Parlor Pizza is located in Adelaide CBD, at 36A Hindley Street. We're right in the heart of the city, making us an easy choice for a work lunch, a weeknight dinner, or a catch-up over the weekend. You can easily find it using the map on our homepage (link)or on Google Maps (link).
There is street parking available out front and a secure paid parking lot just around the corner. We are also incredibly easy to get to via public transport.
We keep our deck ovens roaring all week long.
We're open for both lunch and dinner throughout the week, and late nights on Friday and Saturday. Check our Google listing or website for the most up-to-date hours, including public holidays.
You can reach us easily through our Contact page on the website, or give us a call at (08) 82327541.
We proudly offer all three! Yes, you can quickly order for delivery or pickup directly through our website (link), and we partner with Uber Eats and DoorDash, but our dining space is intentionally designed as a place where you can pull up a chair, listen to great music, have delicious fresh food, and feel completely at home.
No reservations needed here - just walk in. We love spontaneous visits. Whether you're running in for a rapid corporate lunch or a casual, moody weekend dinner, we always have a spot for you at our table.
Because we are all about that casual diner style, we don’t do rigid booking sheets. But if you're planning to roll deep with a massive crew of friends or coworkers, definitely hit us up and contact us directly. We’ll do our absolute best to accommodate your group’s needs.
Expect a space that is warm, relaxed, and genuine. During the day, we are a fast-paced lunch hub. At night, we dim the lights, turn up the music, and create a cozy, moody atmosphere perfect for sharing a pie. We are a neighborhood spot that happens to make very good pizza and the staff are real people who care about your experience.
Whether you're in for a quick lunch or a long Friday night dinner, you'll feel comfortable and at home here.
Very much so. The atmosphere is warm, the lighting is low, and sharing a pizza is one of the best ways to have a genuine conversation. Also, our 48-hour slow-fermented dough makes the pizza significantly light and highly digestible - meaning you can enjoy every bite and finish the whole thing without spending the rest of the evening regretting your choices.
From the second you order, expect your whole pie in about 10–15 minutes. Premium fresh pizza cannot be rushed. Our 48-hour fermented dough needs to be hand-stretched with expert care, our premium toppings must be placed thoughtfully, and our deck ovens need to work their high-heat magic. We think you'll agree it's worth every single second.
Starving right now? We get it. We always have fresh, giant slices ready to be fired up and reheated in just 2 to 3 minutes at the counter so you can grab-and-go without the wait.
Parlor is built around genuine culinary curiosity. We carefully source fresh and premium ingredients and combine them in unexpected, original ways to give every pizza a flavor you won't find anywhere else in Adelaide. We don't follow the same formula as everyone else -we write our own.
No, we don’t sell alcoholic beverages at the shop. Our focus is entirely locked onto crafting fresh, premium pizza.
Absolutely. Families are always welcome at Parlor. Our pizzas are designed to be shared, and most kids love our Classic Cheese and Hawaiian Pizzas. That said, if you have little ones with incredibly simple, strict tastes, don't sweat it. Just talk to our team at the counter and we will happily sort out a customized slice to keep them smiling.
We offer premium lunch (and dinner) combos designed to fit a tight student budget or a strict corporate lunch hour.
If our online ordering system is giving you an attitude, just give our store a direct call at (08) 82327541.
We use heavy-duty, industrial deck ovens that reach the high temperatures required to achieve the ultimate New York style finish - an incredibly crispy base, beautifully melted, caramelized premium cheeses, and that distinct, gorgeous char on the crust that you simply cannot replicate in a home oven.

Yes. We offer late-night delivery so you can get premium pizza right to your door when most other kitchens are closed.
We offer our 12” pies for delivery - as this size fits perfectly in most of delivery drivers’ insulated bags. For catering - as we take care of the delivery ourselves - we also offer our massive 18” pies.
Definitely. Order online or give us a call, and we’ll have your pies ready and hot when you walk through the doors.
We do our best to get your delicious pizza out to you as soon as possible. On a standard night, your pizza will usually arrive hot and fresh at your door within 30 to 45 minutes. That said, the delivery drivers may encounter unforeseen delay, which may include traffic and bad weather.
Operating right out of the Adelaide CBD, our delivery radius covers the heart of the city and stretches into surrounding neighborhoods. To see if we deliver to your suburb, just pop your address into our ordering link.
We respect the iconic architecture - the massive scale, the proper fold, the structure that makes a New York slice unmistakable. But we refuse to be bound by old-school rules.
Every day, our pizza chefs hand-make the dough from scratch using premium imported flour. Then we do something most people skip: we let it rest for over 48 hours. During that slow cold fermentation, the yeast works through the complex starches in the flour - breaking them down, building flavor, and creating a base that is noticeably lighter and far more digestible than anything rushed out the same day.
The result is a pizza that is deeply satisfying and noticeably different the moment you taste it - lighter on the stomach, richer in flavor, and made with a level of care that shows.
The technique? Absolutely authentic. The size, the fold, the hand-made dough left to ferment for over 48 hours - we take all of that very seriously. The toppings? That's where we stop taking notes from anyone else. We bring our own curiosity to an iconic format -unexpected combinations, premium ingredients, flavors that earn their place on the pizza. New York gave us the base. The rest is Parlor.
New York style pizza is a large, hand-stretched, thin-crust pizza with a crispy base and a slightly chewy, foldable slice. It originated with Italian immigrants in New York City in the early 1900s. At Parlor, we honor that tradition while adding our own creative combinations inspired by premium ingredients.
They're related but distinct. Neapolitan pizza - the original Italian style - has a very thin, soft, blistered base, is cooked in a wood-fired oven, and meant to be eaten with a knife and fork. New York style evolved from Neapolitan when Italian immigrants adapted it for American kitchens. Typically cooked in a deck oven, it is massive, crispier, and structurally engineered to be folded and eaten on the move with one hand - no knife and fork needed. Both are delicious; they're just different experiences.
Because the pies are massive! Folding the slice down the middle gives it structural integrity so you can eat it with one hand without losing any of our heavy, premium toppings. No forks allowed.
Yes, we absolutely do! If you want a beautifully simple, premium cheese slice or a classic Margherita done right, we’ve got you covered. Classics are classics for a reason.
We offer two distinct sizes depending on how serious your hunger is:
We can advise on quantities when you order.
Always. Every single whole pie is made fresh to order. We don't pre-bake our pizzas. The second your order hits our kitchen, that's when we start hand-stretching your dough and layering the fresh toppings. The only exception? Our giant counter slices, which are kept fresh and fired up in the deck oven for 2 to 3 minutes so you can grab-and-go when you're in a massive rush.
You sure can! You can order half and half on both sizes of pizzas, and without any annoying surcharge.
Absolutely. Giant, foldable, New York-sized slices are available all day. Perfect for a quick lunch break or a late-night craving.
Absolutely. You can easily customize your pie from our wide range of premium toppings, cheeses and sauces.
We make freshly baked garlic bread, incredibly crispy chicken wings, and hot chips. Every single side is treated with the exact same attention to quality and premium ingredients as our main pizzas.
It depends on your appetite! We recommend a minimum of 2 medium pizzas (12-inch pies) for every 3 people. If you’re staring down our massive 18-inch pies, those easily satisfy 3 to 4 adults. Still unsure? Just ask our team at the counter and we’ll map out the perfect feast for your headcount. You can also add some of our delicious sides to satisfy everyone’s taste.
An absolute New York pizzeria staple. We take strips of our premium, 48-hour slow risen pizza dough, tie them into little knots, toss them in fresh garlic, premium olive oil, and herbs, and bake them until beautifully golden. Warning: they are highly addictive!
It is a true New York thin base: perfectly crisp on the bottom, light, and beautifully charred from our deck ovens, finishing with that iconic, slightly chewy rim.
Yes. Our signature tomato sauce is made in-house from a recipe we've spent serious time developing - built around premium imported ingredients and blended to a flavor profile that is entirely ours. Rich, balanced, and designed to carry everything else on the pizza without competing with it. The full recipe stays with us. The result lands on your table.
Listen to us very carefully: never, ever use a microwave! For the best result, put your slice in a hot skillet with a little olive oil on the stove for a few minutes to crisp the bottom, or throw it in the oven at 180°C for about 3-5 minutes. Treat the dough with respect!
We import premium, high-protein flour directly from the United States to ensure our dough has the exact structural integrity and chew of a true New York pie.
No, we use a beautifully savory, mild pepperoni that prioritizes rich flavor over pure heat.
Our dough is made fresh daily from high-quality flour, water, yeast, salt and a touch of premium olive oil. That's it. No chemical stabilizers, no artificial fillers, and absolutely zero shortcuts. We subject these simple elements to a highly disciplined, slow fermentation process that allows the complex flavors to develop naturally. As our chefs constantly remind us, if the dough isn't right, nothing else matters.
Our core ingredients - the ones that give Parlor its flavor, its texture, and its authenticity - are imported from the United States. There are no adequate substitutes and we don't pretend otherwise. Our fresh toppings are a different story: locally sourced from South Australian producers who meet our standards for quality and freshness. Local sourcing means better produce on your pizza and real support for the community we're proud to be part of. Two sources, one standard: the best available. Always.
Absolutely fresh, never frozen! We make fresh dough daily in-house and let it rest for over 48 hours following a rigorous fermentation process. This patient methodology is exactly what makes our pizzas easy to digest and gives our crust its bold flavor, iconic air pockets, and that signature, foldable chew.
Definitely! We have incredible fully vegetarian pies, and many of our signature flavor pizzas can be easily customized. Our team can guide you through the options for all our menu. Plus, our freshly baked garlic knots and crispy hot chips are dairy-free/vegan and our BBQ and Lemon Pep wings are dairy free. If you're unsure where to start, just talk to our team at the counter or check out our online allergen breakdown (link nutritional page).
