Tim LaBant’s Parlor Sequel Opens in Darien Features Restaurant Pizza Darien Cocktails WIne Salads Homepage Opening Andrew Dominick May 17, 2021 After opening his first Neapolitan inspired pizza parlor in Wilton at the tail end of 2018, Tim LaBant has a Parlor part two in Darien’s Corbin District.That particular section of town, according to LaBant, was primed for his style of pizza because it wasn’t represented anywhere else nearby. “I eyed the Corbin District initially and even thought about waiting a few years,” he says. “I didn’t because I figured someone would beat me to it with a similar concept. We wanted to be here first.”LaBant and his Parlor squad officially started firing up pies in the Forza Forni Pavesi on April 16.As far as what you can expect from the Darien location, it’s much of what they do well in Wilton.

No one wants asparagus in a box.”But that’s not to say there isn’t anything new going down.Aside from Parlor’s classic margherita, plain cheese, or a pepperoni pizza, there’s a nod to a New Haven tomato pie and an ode to Roberta’s Bee Sting in the “Soppressata” with red sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, basil, chili flakes, and homemade hot honey.
