Surprisingly good pizza. This unknown hole in the wall really is a winner. They had a variety of pizza types and toppings. The pepperoni and sausage slice ($4) was flavorful, oily but not too oily, thin but not too thin, crisp, and flavorful. The consistency was just right. The toppings were also flavorful. Crust could be a little more flavorful, but everything else was solid. 8/10 pizza.
Yummy pizza and zanollis Lovely service very kind Would order again! Quick service and good prices ; clean place
You know, this place keeps me alive and I never reviewed them. All around, its the best food in the area. I've eaten the food at Marinos at least 100 times. I am so lucky to have a great Pizza Restaurant 5 minutes from my house. Everything I've ever ordered from them was excellent. Their gourmet Pizza is very creative. The Cannoli is perfect. The Chicken Francese and Marsala are top notch. The Vodka sauce and Bolognese are better than what I make at home. The service is EXCELLENT. The adorable Spanish girl behind the counter, (I should know her name but I never asked), is my favorite. Even the Tuna sandwich is outstanding! Come on, stop the BS. There is NO WAY anyone can rightfully give this place a bad review .. Be honest and give them the 5 star review they deserve! Joe D
They should get 5 stars just for their chicken parm wrap w vodka sauce! If that sounds good to you then get it, you won't regret it. Service is always good and their plain pizza also is pretty good.
Stupid good! Grandma Pie well done! Get outta here! Am not here as often as I want to be but when I get a chance this pizza is amazing!
I have found my new pizza spot. The sauce is sweet like I like. The flavors are the perfect slice. My brother is a spicy type of guy, he loved the spicy slice. The garlic knots are fluffy and perfect. Oohhh I have a lot more to try!!
Came here for a private family get-together. I am a big eater, but I was overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of the food. A cold meat and cheese plate (several for our table for 24!) followed some of the best bread I've had in a long time. 2 types of Calamari, grilled vegetable skewers, penne vodka w spinach and prosciutto (outstanding!), a very interesting and tasty couscous side, grilled chicken leg pieces, salmon fillets in a delicious sauce, escarole & beans--all top notch, and plenty of it! Then, they brought out plates of Italian pastry---cannoli, cookies, biscotti----and offered up espresso with it. The group was VERY Italian, including a couple of former deli owners, and all had high praise for the food and service. And our paying hosts were very pleased with how reasonable the tab was! Grazie Mille, Marino's!
