Saturday night, the place was packed. Lenny's crew did a superb job and provided us with a great meal for the six of us. The steaks, fish, chicken, etc., were timed perfectly. Lenny's always provides a wonderful and varied menu.

Pizzeria

Dobbs Ferry

About the restaurant

At The Parlor, diners can experience the delicate, wood-fired soul of Neapolitan pizza spun with carefully-sourced, local, and seasonal ingredients. Look for an ever-changing array of classic and innovative pies that simultaneously deliver bold flavors and a clear conscience. Plus, along with pizza, The Parlor offers small plates that touch on the whole spectrum of culinary experience. Look for rustic salads, wood-roasted vegetables, and delicately smoked wings. This is food cooked by chefs who care (mostly because this is what they like to eat themselves).

At The Parlor, we offer scissors as an alternative to us cutting your pie, ultimately empowering the diner and creating a playful, efficient way to share with your friends. Alongside a fork and knife, scissors have been the standard in Italy for centuries. Trust us: they work better—plus, you can cut any size slice you like.

We always love dining at Jardin. This visit was no exception; even though the service was unusually spotty, they were very busy, so we blame that. Overall, you can’t go wrong here for a nice dinner or casual lunch and everything in between.
