About Parry’s Pizzeria & Taphouse
Parry’s launched in 2007 as a New York-style pizza joint that was great for a quick bite and perhaps a beer or a glass of wine. Over the past 17 years, the restaurant’s reputation for “craveably crafted” food at a family-friendly value has grown, and Parry’s has evolved into a complete dining experience. Sure, pizza, wings and fried dough (customer favorites) are still on the menu, but Parry’s also has become a craft beer haven with some of the best rotating tap lists around.
Parry’s restaurants are built with a unique, New York warehouse feel, complemented with inviting fixtures and decor that allow you to feel even closer to the city that never sleeps. The Parry’s vibe is perfect for lunch, dinner or a special occasion.
Parry’s partners with numerous community groups including schools, churches and nonprofits to host donation nights throughout the year. Plus, a portion of every Parry’s Pint sold is donated to nonprofit partners as part of the company’s Parry’s Pints select menu program. The Weatherford location will support The Pythian Home in Weatherford on Friday and The AUsome Allen Foundation on Saturday with their Parry’s Pints donations.
Parry’s mission is simple, and the company strives to deliver on it every single day: Craveably Crafted Food & Beer Served with Uncommon Hospitality.

The Affected Products
The following Ulker products have been recalled:
