I remembered a pic, but a little late. Awesome job, folks!

FRI-YAY FIELD REPORT:…read more Alright you beautiful chaos goblins, it's Friday night and I found myself back at Randi's. You know the place, strip mall chic, nothing fancy, the kind of spot where you show up in whatever you wore to Target and nobody blinks. I've been here before, and honestly the experience has always been a bit of a roulette wheel: sometimes great, sometimes just ....meh. Tonight? Buckle up First, the service. I'm not asking for Broadway jazz hands and a standing ovation when I walk in, but a hint of pleasantness would be nice. My server looked like smiling might actually cause structural damage to her face. Honey, that scowl was so deep it came with its own zip code. Those cause wrinkles, sweetie. Just saying. While I waited (and waited... and waited...) I was treated to a lovely soundtrack of staff conversations about doom, gloom, and existential dread. Babe... I'm just trying to order carbs, not prepare for the apocalypse It was not exactly the light Friday night vibe I was going for while trying to order a drink. BTW It took a solid stretch of time just to get that drink and put in an order. I kept checking my watch like I was waiting for a delayed flight. Eventually, we got the drink and the order placed. The food shows up and let's give the kitchen the applause it deserves because the food crew clearly came to work tonight. Actually good. Not "call the Vatican we've witnessed a miracle" good, but solid. The antipasto salad was fresh and yes they included peppers, which I appreciate because some places act like peppers are a controlled substance. And the calzone? The bread was homemade. And listen... when you bite into bread that clearly came from a real human effort and not a Sysco freezer tomb, you notice. It was warm, chewy, and legitimately good. So now I'm emotionally conflicted. The kitchen is back there doing honest Italian-food work while the front of house is acting like they're being forced to serve pasta at emotional gunpoint. The Breakdown: Calzone bread: Homemade, heroic, deserves a medal Antipasto: Fresh, crunchy, pepper-inclusive (we love representation) Food overall: Solidly good Service: If enthusiasm were calories this would be a diet plate Randi's, my chaotic carb dealer, I will probably return because that bread had my attention. But next time maybe let the staff know it's okay to experience joy.

We ordered delivery and I like the way their site is laid out and the descriptions are great. I especially like the variety of toppings- always a thumbs up from me when a pizza place offers cream cheese as a topping. The food arrived quite quickly and their delivery person was super friendly! The pizzas were pretty good though one of them was a bit tough which I was surprised about. I was also disappointed with the nickel and dining people for the toppings. The dough tasted good and the toppings were pretty good as well. I think it's a pretty good standard pizza. I am willing to pay more when the food is really good, however the cost of each topping was pretty high especially considering most of the toppings were only on half of the pizza. We got two pizzas and a cheesy bread and including tip it was over $80. Again, the pizzas were pretty good but I don't know that the cost of over $30 per pizza with just a few toppings is reasonable. May just stick with ordering the individual pizzas at the truck.

I am not even a "pizza person" and usually I will get a salad or something like that at a pizza place. Here, they make the dough in house, the sauce is so good, not overpowering, and the toppings are always perfect. If you get pepperoni, they are arranged so there's pepperoni in every bite. The owner is nice, the delivery driver is nice, it's a good value for the money. Restaurant is very clean, you can see they keep up with it regularly. Lots of good deals on a pizza and a drink. Highly recommend!

I've been wanting to try Marcos for some time. Initially the problem was the app as I could not…read moreplace an order at this location. But it's working now so I explored my options. Marcos always seems to have specials and today was no exception. They were running a 50 per cent off any pizza so that attracted me. I decided on a large deluxe pizza which had sausage, pepperoni, onion, mushroom and green pepper. I have seen many reviews for the fast food pizza joints. Often Marcos was rated as pretty good over the standard pizza shops. Sure enough the pizza I ordered was ready on time. Overall it does beat the usual pizza joints. The ingredients were all on the pizza and it certainly looked good so I took a photo of the finished product. The sausage was tasty and not dry or overcooked. The pepperoni was thinly sliced and not overpowering. The onion and green pepper and mushroom were all there and helped with the overall flavor. There was plenty of cheese and the crust was just right, not too thin or too thick. Did it knock my socks off? Nope but it was pretty decent. At this location it is really just pickup or online orders. The place is clean and the service was friendly. Coming from NYC I can tell you this is not NY pizza but it deserves a try if you need a decent pizza and you are near this location. Of course this is all based on my one time try of a deluxe pizza so it's just a first impression but it passed my taste test.

The one with aggressively dim chandeliers, dusty landscape paintings, and family photos that may or may not be watching you judge the bread basket. It's nostalgic, it's confusing, it's a little haunted, but she's committed to the bit, and honestly? Respect. This place has been around forever, and you can feel it. Same recipes, same energy, same "we're not changing for anybody" attitude. Iconic. Stubborn. A little chaotic. Now let's get into my evening of sacrifice. I ordered the chicken Marsala with homemade noodles and a salad, because I believe in indulgence AND patience,and yes, girl, it took a minute. But I sat there, sipping my drink, minding my business, growing spiritually. Now, let's talk food. I ordered the chicken Marsala with homemade noodles and a salad because I believe in treating myself and testing my patience. Yes, it took a minute, but darling, I wanted it, so I stayed seated and emotionally stable (for once). Meanwhile, I'm ALSO ordering a small pepperoni pizza for my couch-goblin of a friend who was like, "I refuse to leave my emotional support sofa... but bring me food." The drama. The audacity. The hunger. Don't worry, I absolutely ate first. I have boundaries and self-respect. Service started a little... interpretive. I think Tom was supposed to care about me, but spiritually he was elsewhere. Enter Cecily, stage left, who picked up the situation and said, "don't worry babe, I got you." and she DELIVERS. We love a redemption arc. Now THE dish: chicken Marsala.MISS THING. Would you just look at her?! Rich, a little spicy, melt-in-your-mouth goodness with mushrooms living their best life. Paired with those homemade noodles and that sauce? I was ready to propose. It has to be the best thing on the menu. I refuse to believe otherwise. The salad? ...she tried.Not offensive, not impressive. Just... there. It existed. It participated. The spicy Italian dressing had a little kick (because apparently I crave chaos), but the tomato was wilted like last night's bad decisions. And the bread? Good, but not "grandma woke up at 5am and baked this with love" good. Overall?A chaotic little experience wrapped in nostalgia and butter. Final verdict: 3.5 stars. Final thoughts? Would I return? For that Marsala? I'd crawl back in heels.

We hadn't been here in a couple of years, so my husband and I decided to give it another try for a…read moreSunday lunch. Arvada Villa is a special place. Open since 1960, it has a small-owned, family feel but it does feel a bit dated, and some minor upgrades could really lift the perceived quality. For example, our waters were served in chipped plastic cups with plastic bendy straws. The prices are just too much for plastic cups and bendy straws for me. I think it was one of the owners who served us when we went. He made sure to mention to every table he seated that none of his staff showed up that day. There was just one other person in there also helping him. We felt bad so gave them grace for the long waits, but it certainly did start our lunch out on a strained, uncomfortable note. I've seen several other reviews from the past year mention staffing problems. Food: The housemade blue cheese dressing is really good. I'm glad he convinced us to try that. The salads are little basic iceberg salads. Now, the lasagna and the chicken parm were delicious. That's why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 3. We did really enjoy our entrees and the leftovers we took. (And I am glad for the prices that we had leftovers and made multiple meals from it). I'm not a fan of the thick cut spaghetti pasta, but my husband loved it. If you want, they will bring you bread, but know that's it's just nontoasted, plain dry white bread with little packets of butter. You could probably be better off skipping that. I'd like to come back for dinner again sometime and see if the vibes are a bit classier.
