A Word From the Owner

Hi, Marie here. Just want to let fans of The Parlor know that on April 30th, we will be closing our doors. Although those of you who are actually reading this have been very loyal and faithful customers to The Parlor, there are just not enough of you, and we are losing money. I have had to take a second job to get by and have also cut my employees hours and have been working those extra hours, and I'm working myself ragged. I am not telling you this to gain your pity, I just want to explain the reasoning behind our closing. While the restaurant industry is really tough, the pizza business is even tougher, and The Parlor is really struggling. I have found an interested buyer, and so I am taking the chance to get out of it before I get more financially burdened.

Now, all that being explained, I am hoping to make April BIG! We want to go out with a bang! We plan on having a concert every Wednesday in April, beautiful art for the gallery stroll on the 1st, one last Trivia Night, and an awesome closing out party on the 30th. Come hang out with us this month, while you still can! I'll post a schedule on the blog once all the dates have been finalized. Thanks guys! It's been real!

Employee Profile: The Pizza Stud

Here at The Parlor, we are passionate about making good pizza, playing good music, and providing people with a comfortable space to come and hang out. What makes our place extra special, however, are the wonderful employees who take good care of the customers. We would like you to get to know them a little better, so we will be posting about each one of them within the next week. First Spotlight: Jon Boyer aka J Diggity Boyer aka Jon Boy aka PIZZA STUD.

Known as Pizza Stud for his amazing customer service and wondrous pizza making capabilities, The Stud has been working in the pizza industry since he was 12 years old. Literally. His parents used to own a pizza shop and The Stud was there from the beginning. Pizza Stud is a most loyal and reliable employee; always willing to fill in and take extra shifts when needed, The Stud also goes up and beyond by passing out fliers, passing out door hangers, and even dressing up in a Pooh Bear costume and dancing on the street as a ploy to get people into the restaurant. He knows almost everyone by name, and, as he would say, he knows it is important to "charm the customer."

Pizza Stud, loved by all, will be leaving on a mission to Seoul, Korea on March 23 and will be truly missed. On top of being an incredible employee, The Stud is a great friend, full of wonderful words of wisdom, great comedic timing, amazing dancing abilities, and a passion for all things Lord of the Rings. His favorite quote comes from Gandolf: "so do all who live to see such times." The Stud enjoys discovering and listening to good music, Gummies (worms, bears, etc), watching movies, and he especially loves the Ladies. (Older women beware: The Stud is a cougar hunter).

Pizza Stud will be getting his braces off next week, and would love for you to come appreciate his beautiful new pearly whites, so come in and meet him! For those of you who know and love our Jon Boy, stop by and bid him farewell. He will prepare you a pizza filled with love.

Bad Love Poetry Reading This Saturday at 7:00!!

We hope to see lots of people at The Parlor for some laughs on Saturday! To get you in the mood, take some time to read this wonderful poem written by a former co-worker of mine. It is a work of genius.

The Biology of Love

Girl,
Like carbohydrates I store up my love for you
My love for you is void of any fat impurities
Your pains are as hard as a solid solute
But give me a chance and I will dissolve your pains
In the solvent of my love

Girl,
Our love was at the point of cohesion
We had our differences but don't fight our adhesion
I have a cell theory of how our love began
It might be a little feeble but not to worry
We'll build it up with more protein
I promise to keep our love fresh and healthy
I will nourish it with organic food

Girl,
I remember the old days when I would drown in worries
But by osmosis your warm smile got to me
You've grown distant to me lately, if I didn't know better
I'd say your personal bubble is like a cell wall
With its pourous cell membrane. It allows respiration
But when we fight it seems your respiration breaks.
Your nucleus starts to ache making your nucleic acid go wild

Girl,
I'm not like other organelles who are simply looking to jump
On the next active transport to cause fermentation in the relationship
But I'm here to practice diffusion in the matter
I promise to change my ways
Our love will be self contained
Like the process of photosynthesis
And I will make your nucleus happy.

We like to party

We want to make The Parlor a place where people can come and eat delicious pizza, but also have a great time. Therefore, we have become participants in the Gallery Stroll, we hold concerts, and we have a trivia night coming up. But we would love to do even more!!

Please leave comments for events we could host at The Parlor. This could mean comedy troupes, book clubs, short film showings, etc etc. If you know anyone looking for a place to hold an event or share a talent, please let us know. We really want to be involved in lots of different things as a way to bring people in to enjoy our pizza, but also as a way to provide some fun and entertainment. LEAVE COMMENTS PLEASE!! We need ideas and/or connections.
