About The Pizza Parlour

On Broughshane St in Ballymena, The Pizza Parlour serves pizza alongside a wider Italian menu of 18 dishes, with a takeaway counter running beside table service. Garlic Bread and Sicilian Pizza sit among the offerings, and diners can bring their own wine or spirits, with a corkage fee that varies. The step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are available for families with young children. The room opens daily, and reservations are recommended given how busy it gets, particularly at weekends and over holidays. For those eating off site, both takeaway and delivery are offered.

Customer Review Summary

Sicilian pizza draws consistent praise, with reviewers calling it fantastic and highlighting its flavor, alongside repeated mentions of the vegan pizza, garlic bread, and garlic sauce or dip as standout sides. Several diners also single out specialty pies like the anchovy and olive, the calypso tuna and banana topping, and the chicken with peppered sauce, along with a longstanding American Hot that one reviewer says has stayed consistent since 1981. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, helpful, and attentive, making the spot popular for celebrations and group dinners, and multiple reviewers note being able to bring their own wine, sometimes with a small corkage charge and sometimes without one at all. Complaints are limited but specific: one reviewer found the vegan burger small for its price, another felt the atmosphere lacked something extra, and one diner reports being charged an unrequested £2.50 per-plate service fee after their pizzas were cut and divided without being asked, saying they would not return. Another reviewer advises ordering early since weekends and holidays get busy.

    “Asked for two pizzas, bought them them down cut and divided on different plates.. did not asked for this - not the way we wanted our pizzas.. later to be find out we were charged £2.50 each for service, despite being warned or asked about it. Won’t be back..”
  • Uel Irwin
    “Been going since 1981 and the recipe is still consistent and good. Tossed salad complimented the 🍕. American Hot! …”
  • Karen Bennett
    “Thanks to The Pizza Parlour we had a fantastic night to remember for my son's 30th Birthday. The food was amazing, the staff were very helpful, friendly and attentive, making it a very enjoyable and relaxing celebration. Thanks to all the staff for making it such a great night.”
  • Thomas Mcskimming
    “Great place. Reasonably priced. Food brilliant. What I liked about the Pizza Parlour is that you can bring in your own wine and spirits without having to pay a corkage fee. I've never seen that before. Probably one of the main reasons it's so popular.”
