Great Neopolitan style pizza with a thin chewy crust and crispy bottom, topped with a large variety of premium toppings and sauce bases. You can get any pizza with different toppings on each half, as long as the sauce base is the same, which is a great way to share a pizza, or try two types if it's hard to choose only one.

About the restaurant

Grab a cocktail at the bar or share a bottle of wine on the patio as our team serve a West Coast, sharply crafted Italian cooking at Parma, the new Scottsdale eatery. Enjoy lunch, happy hour, or dinner in a buzzy, yet laid-back setting.

With Coastal California style melding with fine Italian cuisine, Parma’s results are elegant, inventive and, at times, downright indulgent. Expect a menu that packs undeniable appeal for those looking for classic Italian standbys as well as those seeking something new.

Too much noise during our visit - we love this place but felt like we were yelling sitting across from each other in a booth.

Excellent food and service. I enjoyed the hibachi 5 course meal with the grilled shrimp. Sitting in the lounge area was much quieter than the main area. Server was very attentive and pleasant. Even though it was Christmas Eve and it was very busy our food was served quickly and was very good.

The food was great and we will return for that reason. Service was just nearly ok - it could have been better, especially because they were really slow. I would recommend trying it for sure.
