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.

From its humble beginnings in the quaint Hudson River town of Piermont, New York, Olar was known for serving up rustic Neapolitan pies, classic Spanish tapas, and hand crafted pastas that drew in both locals and foodies from all parts of New Jersey, upstate New York, and New York City and kept them coming back for over a decade.Now in its new location in Northvale, New Jersey, the restaurant, now known as Olar Noso - which means "our home" in Galego, the language spoken in Galicia where the Dominguez family is from - is an evolution in not only name alone.They have managed to scale the restaurant concept generously while replicating the quality and preserving the reputation the former Olar had garnered over the years.

    I love, love, love this place! Host is awesome when you walk in. Tables are neatly arranged and comfortable. Yhe music is always great. The food is simply outstanding. Started off with the meatballs and duck cannoli. Then we did the bone marrow rigatoni which is a must do. So glad to see it on the regular menu. I had the short rib special with the grilled asparagus. Simply delicious. You cannot skimp on dessert. The stickabutta pie is also a must do and we had the blueberry lemon swirl which was outrageous.

    This is a very good restaurant, we enjoy it every time we go here. We did it a little differently tonight with a couple of appetizers and of course the Spanish chips, but my wife had a salad for dinner, and I ordered a pizza as opposed to an entrée. But as I said, everything is delicious and we love this place.
