Best Parma in Melbourne
Italian · Brunswick
The Parma King
Crunchy, saucy, and cheesy, the Parma shines with delicious combinations like spinach, feta, and cherry tomato, often arriving hot with generous portions of crispy fries. However, some patrons warn of confusing branding under the name Golden Pizza and potential issues with missing delivery orders or unresponsive service.
