GINOS PIZZA PARLOUR - BIRMINGHAM After reviewing a few Parmos outside of Teesside weve came back to Birmingham in search for something special. The parmo is a decent size and comes topped with jalapeños, green peppers, red onion and sweet corn as standard, we didnt realise this till after we ordered but hey this could still be a good parmo and is even cut up for us into little bite size chunks already. The chicken is possibly the thickest we have seen so far, but when the meats this thick it has to be cooked to perfection to keep it moist, sadly this was very, very dry. The meat is clearly good quality, fresh white chicken meat but its so dry that the garlic sauce is called in to action straight away. The breadcrumbs look more like fried chicken skin than breadcrumbs, there crunchy around the edges but add to the dryness in the centre of the dish. Now we assumed the special sauce would be some kind of bechamel sauce but how wrong were we. The sauce is tomato based and spread all over the chicken. A big no no for any dish that calls itself a chicken parmesan or parmo. Due to the toppings on the dish its really hard to taste the sauce or the cheese to actually review. It looks like there using light and dark cheese but again we couldnt tell by the taste. The plain chips are tough and chewy and another dry addition to the meal. A finely chopped fresh salad is tucked away in the corner of the Just Eat box and tastes fine. The garlic dip is medium in strength and has a sour kick after swallowing so overall a poor effort. Again it goes to show that although they have used good quality meat, the TLC just isnt there in the rest of our beloved Teesside parmo. It looks better than it tastes, scoring 1 out of 5. Ginos Pizza Parlour - Birmingham, You have been perved on!
