What People Are Saying About Parisi

In Short – This airy, urban cafe features tall windows and a back wall covered with old Italian family photos. The deli on one side offers gelato, rich espressos, Italian pastries, cheeses, meats, salads, olives and other gourmet supplies. On the other, there are hot meals from the counter. The menu features fresh Italian fare such as penne smothered in basil pesto or simple spaghetti with garlic, olive oil and spicy peppers.

Gluten Free Pizza is HORRIBLE
by gluten free at Citysearch
I loved this place when it was small and when I was able to eat regular food. Now I am gluten free because of Celiac Disease.
I am thrilled that a lot of restaurants are trying to include gluten free items on their menus, however, most of them don't do it well.
The gluten free pizza here at Parisi is by far the worst I have had anywhere! Totinos $3 pizza is better. It appeared it was a frozen pizza that was then topped with a few pieces of mushroom. I sent it back once because it wasn't even warm when they served it. Plus this place is overcrowded, you are packed in like sardines, and the ordering process is just stupid. Wish it could go back to the original great place it was.
If you want truly exceptional GLUTEN FREE ITALIAN FOOD,
go to ABRUSCI'S Italian Restaurant 3244 Youngfield Wheat Ridge. Real GF bread! Pizza like reg pizza, Sandwiches are great too! Next time I will go the extra distance.
- Pros: appreciate they want to include gluten free in the menu
- Cons: gluten free pizza is terrible and overpriced!

Horrible gluten free pizza
by flintmoonie at Citysearch
Before I became gluten free, Parisi was my favorite pizza. So, imagine my excitement when they have gluten free pizza crust that is advertised as "better than ever." Not only do you have to pay $5 more for gluten free, you are paying more for a substandard pizza that is like eating cardboard with sauce and stingy sprinkling of cheese and toppings. Only go to Parisi if you can enjoy their regular menu items.
- Pros: regular pizza and entrees are amazing
- Cons: gluten free pizza is overpriced and tasteless

Poor Service @ Parisi Italian Market!!!
by foodseeker7 at Citysearch
Service staff was rude and lack common sence regarding an elderly lady with a O2 tank...she was seated at a table resting before ordering and a service staff girl make her leave! Even other guests asked to let her stay and they would go to another table, but the server insisted that she leave the table and go the the other side of the market to sit before waiting in line to order food and drink. With many other delis and eating out choices in that area, one would think that some common sence regarding elderly with a O2 tank could have a break at Parisi! Try Vinnola, Carbone, or Patrick Carrolls...
- Cons: negative for handicap and disabled visitors
The Details on Parisi
Know Before You Go:
Everything is ordered a la carte, so if you intend to eat a few courses, be sure to watch the tab.
The Extras:
Pay attention to the daily specials; they're well-worth the extra dollars for juicy lamb or specialty pasta.
When to Go:
Lines are long during peak hours. But if ordering takeout, you can head to the front of the line, bypassing those waiting for tables.
