Parry's Pizzeria & Taphouse operates out of the Streets at SouthGlenn at 2154 East Commons Avenue, about ten minutes from KAPA. It's a New York-style pizza and craft beer spot, the kind of place that works equally well for a quick slice at the counter or a full sit-down dinner with a long beer list.
What To Order
The pizza is genuinely New York-style: large, foldable slices, thin crust that holds up under toppings rather than going soggy. Whole pies feed a group without much trouble, and the taphouse side of the name isn't a stretch either; the beer list runs long, with a solid rotation of Colorado craft options alongside the usual national brands.
Speed & Format
This is one of the faster sit-down options in the area if you're on a tight window between flights; order at the counter or grab a table for full service, whichever fits the time you've got. Takeout is straightforward if you'd rather eat back at the FBO or the hotel.
Neighborhood
Like Bad Daddy's a few doors down, Parry's sits inside the walkable Streets at SouthGlenn district, which makes it easy to grab a slice and then walk to a coffee shop or a different restaurant afterward without moving your car. That flexibility is useful for a group that can't agree on one place to eat.
Dietary Options
Gluten-free crust is available on request, and the salad and sandwich options give non-pizza eaters a real alternative rather than a token side salad. Worth mentioning when you order if anyone in your group needs it, since it's made separately from the regular dough.
Getting There
From Centennial Airport, it's about a ten-minute drive north on University Boulevard to the Streets at SouthGlenn, similar to Bad Daddy's and the other restaurants in that cluster.
If you're eating with a group that wants pizza and a group that wants something else, this is a good compromise spot; the menu goes beyond pizza into salads and sandwiches, so it's not a one-note restaurant even though the pizza is what it's known for.
Hours
Open seven days a week, generally 11 am to 9 pm on weekdays and a bit later Friday and Saturday. It's a reliable stop whether you're catching an early dinner before a departure or a late one after landing.
Fast Versus Full-Service, Same Neighborhood
| Restaurant | Order Style | Typical Wait | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parry's Pizzeria & Taphouse | Counter or table service | Short | Tight ground-stop windows |
| Bad Daddy's Burger Bar | Table service only | Longer on weekends | An evening out, rooftop |
The flexibility to choose counter service or a full table is the real advantage here for anyone watching the clock. A crew with forty-five minutes to eat can order at the counter and be out the door; a family with more time can sit down for full service without needing a different restaurant.
The Split-Preference Problem
Pizza places have an obvious weakness: the one person in the group who does not want pizza. Parry's menu includes salads and sandwiches specifically to cover that gap, and the gluten-free crust, made separately from the regular dough, means a dietary restriction does not force the whole group somewhere else. It is a small detail, but it is the difference between everyone eating here and one person eating a granola bar in the car.
Picking Between Dine-In And Takeout
If your window is under thirty minutes, order ahead online through Parry's own site and pick it up rather than waiting on a table; it is consistently faster than a delivery app during the dinner rush. If you have an hour or more, the dining room and the beer list on tap are worth sitting down for.
Takeout For The Road
Whole pies travel well if you are heading back to the FBO or the hotel rather than eating on-site, and the boxes hold up fine for the short drive back toward KAPA without much mess or a soggy crust by the time you get there.
Bottom Line
This is the restaurant on this list built around flexibility rather than a single strong point. It will not be the most memorable meal near KAPA, but it adapts to whatever time window you actually have.
Delivery & Online Ordering
Online ordering for pickup is available directly through Parry's own site, which is usually faster than a third-party delivery app during the dinner rush. Delivery through the major apps also covers this location if you would rather have it brought to the hotel.
