    10" cheese pizza
    Mahauganee S.

    This location, in the A gates, was directly next to our gate. We arrived to the gate about half an hour early, and decided to order pizza before our flight. We ordered two 10 inch pizzas, one cheese and one specialty pizza. The specialty pizza was the very vegy. (Disclaimer: that's how they feel veggie; don't come for me) My husband thought the pizza did not have enough pizza sauce. My 5.5 year-old thought the cheese pizza was two cheesy. My brand new four-year-old found the cheese pizza to be just fine. I really enjoyed the seasonings on the veggie pizza. I thought I gave a good flavor. This location only serves thin crust and cauliflower crust. We had thin crust on both pizzas. It was more crispy on the veggie pizza, which the adults appreciated. The restaurant has seating, but stayed busy. So, we had to scope out a table while we waited for our pizza. Luckily, a table for four opened up just before our order came up. Overall, this was a good experience.

    I have never had a cauliflower crust pizza that was as good as one with a wheat-based crust. Until now. I ordered the Founder's Special on the cauliflower crust, and it was amazing! This is some of the best pizza I've ever had, and it's at an airport of all places! My wife and I had a few drinks at the bar while waiting for our flight, and the bartender was friendly and generous in allowing us to taste things before ordering them. A great experience overall, and if you're flying into or out of Columbus, it's definitely worth a try!

    So, the last time I flew out I had overpriced wine at Vino Volo and this time I walked past it. I saw Donato's. With a bar. With cheaper wine. I had 2 glasses of Malbec for $20. I also had one of their pre-packaged salads. Friendly service. They have a full bar.

    The corn meal on the bottom is a "secret ingredient" - a little extra flvor and crispness.

    It is not all that easy to get excited by airport food, but I'm usually jazzed about a quick lunch on my way out of Columbus. Why? Donatos! Donato's is a regional chain focusing on a delicious thin crust pizza that includes some cornmeal on the bottom, a feature that I loved about Shakey's pizza when that chain was national. I had the meal deal on my most recent visit which included a 7" personal pizza (pepperoni) and a soft drink. Hot, fast, delicious, and at a reasonable price, by airport food standards. If you need something more substantial than a soft drink, there is a full bar available (not as part of the meal deal, though...). Pizza is not everyone's friend. Know that they have a decent cauliflower crusts for those who prefer/need that option.

    Pizza was delish! Crispy pepperoni with a nice layer of grated parm all over. The crust was different. At first it tasted kinda dry but then it was a good balance to the toppings kinda like a shortbread cookie is a good kind of dry when it's covered in chocolate. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is the ordering process. Maybe it's the time of day (tho noon on a Fri seems like a steady business hour) but the big wall menu and bottled water/soda counter area has a sign telling you to order at the bar instead. Well the bar tender was plenty busy making drinks and that area is really crowded plus she's racking up food orders. Pizza took a bit of time too. So maybe it's not their normal workflow and they were short handed or something. Considering how bad airport food options are, I'd definitely eat here again, regardless!

    Okay.. I'm sorry this place was completely disappointing... airport dining can do a lot better. The lady at the counter was so disinterested in my order that I should've known trouble was coming.. I say I was a simple hamburger pizza, she says "we don't have hamburger..."you can do pepperoni"... Fine I did pepperoni.. and LOOK at the pepperoni monster they served me.. overwhelming... And it wouldn't be so bad if the pepperonis were underwhelmingly tasteless... Nice place.. nice atmosphere... But as far as the food and service?.. it's a no for me

    Big dom
    Gena W.

    Yay! A restaurant bar combo that's open at the airport. I ordered a side caprese salad and a 7" mariachi pizza. Yum yum. My husband got a big dom. So glad they were open I'm not complaining about one thing.

    The line was Hella long. They were completely understaffed. You'll miss your flight if you wait on them.

    I felt so bad for the ladies working here. The line was so long and everybody was complaining, but they were so understaffed and they didn't have any pizzas on hand. They were really unprepared.

    Nice local craft beer selection
    Lauren T.

    Imagine-it's 7:30PM and there are almost 300 people waiting for a late night flight. Only two restaurants are open, one is a pub and the other is this Donatos. They had a better selection of beer so we came here. The staff was completely overwhelmed (three people working total including making the food). I'm giving them 4 stars because they truly hauled ass and did the best they could to make sure everyone was served quickly and accurately. Since we were all drinking, they ran out of glasses quickly but improvised. The beers ran out quickly with so much demand but there were still some good options on draft. The pizza was as good as always for thin style columbus pizza.

    COMPLETELY BURNT!!

    This was a highly anticipated visit! First off I really like the location and vibe of Marlow's…read more They have a bar area (I love eating at the bar) and 90's R&B playing at a respectful volume. Points!! I stopped at 2pm on a Wednesday and there were only a few customers and myself there. I order The Classic wit Wiz, fries and a Truth IPA. My food came out quickly in a to go bag. I was eating in but no biggie. The positives: the chopped steak, Wiz and onion combo is South St Philly worthy for real. The fries were a unique shape and were delicious. The music!! I heard Guy- I like, The System- Don't disturb this Groove, Christopher Williams-Don't wake Me... I was transported back to my days growing up in Pittsburgh. My only negative: That bun! Dry as Camel heels. To be fair, I ate it as soon as it came out and when I unwrapped it, a lot of the filling spilled out. If I had got it to go, the bun would've absorbed some of the cheese, steak and onion goodness and I'm sure it would've been juicier after 10 min. I'll take it to go next time. So all in all, I think I prefer Marlow's over the other Cheese steak giant in Columbus (as far as the authentic Philly cheesesteak). The other is great as a gourmet version of a classic. It all depends on what you are in the mood for. Great job Marlow's bringing Philly to CBus!!

    Excellent version of the classic Philly Cheesesteak. Wiz was tasty and gooey, and the steak was…read morechopped nicely. Sandwich was delivered double wrapped, but when I opened, it was upside down. My bad I guess. Only comment, they do not use a classic dark seeded bun. Wario's does. Is this a bar with cheesesteak or a cheesesteak with a bar? Plenty of tables and parking.

First time my wife and daughter stopped before our daughter headed overseas for two years in the Peace Corps. Scotty''s is super close and convenient to the airport. Scotty learned of the imminent departure and came with cookies and treats for the long flight! And now this morning it was another airport drop off. It was my turn, dining alone but nothing about a table for one at Scotty's is lonely. The staff are immediately welcoming and every customer is every employee's charge. Four different people helped me or just checked in. The Gina breakfast combos have lots to offer for breakfast. But I was thrilled this 9:30 am to be assured the whole menu was available. I was looking for something less common and was excited to see potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce as an option. That would have been great but then the waitress (Salome maybe) said, "Do you like corned beef?" The Schmoozer is 3 enormous latkes with thinly shaved and lightly grilled corn beef on top with an over easy egg atop that. Seriously, I can declare victory for finding something I'd never had before. Never would have found it without the nudge. Had to cut myself off with all the coffee offers. Just a great vibe. You rarely see a 4.9 rating and even more rarely that high based on so many reviews. But I understand why - like in so many things in life, it is about the people. And the joy they bring to every conversation. And I will just add, in this age when some would divide us, this dining room is filled with all manner of folks, reveling together over food in fellowship.
