Marion's is a Dayton-area staple, and this location is my husband's family's go-to. This has hole-in-the-wall vibes in the best way ... it's an elbows on the table spot that feels family-run and dishes up delicious and unique pizza consistently. They do deliver through DoorDash, but we usually call ahead for pickup because it's better to have it hot and fresh. There's plenty of free parking available at this shopping center, and there's also an indoor dining room if you prefer to dine in. Their pizzas are thin crust and loaded up with toppings. If you like sausage on your pie, you're going to love theirs. It seriously has the best taste and texture! They also have a small gluten-free crust, which is such a nice offering and doesn't taste that far off from their regular crust. read more

Dayton's hometown pizza! Unique and delicious. Always good service and hot, fresh pizza. Tonight we ordered a couple of pizzas to take home. One was a sausage and pepperoni with extra sauce, the other was pineapple with extra cheese. Both were delicious, and ready at the quoted time. Although we took carry out pizza tonight, the dining room here is nice too. Plenty of seating and pleasant staff. read more

Have been in going to Marion's Pizza for 32 years it's a certified Dayton Classic. Thin crispy crust cut into little squares. So addicting!

I haven't been to Marion's piazza since I was kid so going again brought back fond memories. Pizza has always been one of my favorite foods so it was a nostalgic experience. We stopped by to grab pizza do a picnic with friends & I'm so glad we did since the pizza tasted just how I remembered. My partner enjoyed it as well & I understood why I liked it growing up. So glad these retro pizza shops still exist where I grew up. read more

Marions on Stroop did me dirty. I often order the same lunch special. Half a pizza with 2 toppings and drink for 6 bucks. Delicious and affordable. Except today, they made my half a pizza with someone else's. I saw him being it out of the oven and it had a stripe down the middle about 1.5 inch wide with zero toppings. I get that we would have complained about mingled toppings. But that's a lot of cheese pizza percentage wise. And, I brought it up to the guy who brought the pizza from the oven and he tried to gaslight me saying that's how it always is. Uh, no. I get this a bunch and it always 1. Cooks alone and 2. Has toppings to the edge. read more

Marion's Piazza - Grrrrr - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

My first trip to Marion's Pizza since the 1970s The pizza was OK. The service was better than average and it's extremely limited service simply because you've gotta order from a front desk. You go sit down you gotta get up to get your drink. You gotta get up to go to the beer, bartender girl to get your own drinks, then bring it back to the table. Anything you need at your table plates napkins whatever you've gotta get up and get it yourself I just do not understand this self service concept when you go out to eat it's mind-boggling to me. I'm going to give them three stars if the waitresses actually came out to wait on the patrons that come to their place of business they could easily be four stars but when I go out to eat spending good hard earned money and I've gotta do all the work myself I'm surprised they didn't ask me to bust my own table and clear everything off when we were finished We were a large group of about at least 20 guys there for our private golf league meeting and we sat in the back and a pretty far back out-of-the-way area where we could laugh Joke bullshit eat drink and be married, but every single person had to wait in line upfront by the cash register and place an individual order and then come back up to pick it up when they shout your order number for being finished over the loudspeaker. They don't even bring it out to you. There has to be a better way to run a pizza restaurant read more

I've been going to Marion's since I was a kid. I love it. But it's a little different so be prepared for a little different experience and a little different pizza. The people behind the counter were great. It's all counter service, including drinks. It's always been that way. The ambiance is like a little piazza, again, different from what you might be used to. This is not New York pizza -- generous portions of finely ground sausage and cheese cut into small squares. (Super cheese? Super deluxe? Super something.) You should try it if you haven't already. read more

My best friend and her husband rave about this place. One of the best local pizzerias in Dayton. After months of waiting, we got to visit this gem! I felt like I stepped back in time. Very nostalgic and kept everything original. From the decor,furniture, signage and even down to their uniforms. I can respect a place like that. They had kiddie bubblegum and claw machines, you pick your drinks from a refrigerator (gas station style), or they have wine by the carafe/glass, small selection of beer on tap. Besides pizza, they do have salads, pasta (spaghetti and meatballs & lasagna), sandwiches. Of course we had to get the pizza. We ordered: Large Super Cheese Marion's style Large Pepperoni Chablis (Carafe) Amber bock 40 oz Miller lite After you order, they give you a number. They call your number over an intercom. Alcohol beverages are sold at another register. We got our meals and I swear.... Their pizza is hands down one of the best! It's unique! The sausage is ground up so fine, that it's not salty and can taste the quality of the meat. And the way they sliced their pizzas are into small bite sizes. The sauce and crust is incredible! The Pepperoni was also delicious. Seasoned well and loved the sauce. I have to say I enjoyed every bit of the pizza and loved the atmosphere. Reasonable pricing and staff is super friendly We will definitely return. read more

Lived in Cincinnati for three years, and one of the things I missed the most was this pizza. It's no wonder Dayton is known for Marions. Family coming to town always wants to eat here, and take a few home. Others have them shipped. I usually go for vegetarian pizza, this is the only pizza I have meat on - their everything. It just works! Also love the sauerkraut/ham combo. Another thing I don't usually eat, but love here. With a cold beer of course. read more

What a hidden gem. Came here with a coworker for lunch, we ordered Marion's deluxe and I got a drink. It is bizarre that if you're eating in you don't get free refills but it didn't bother us. The pizza was so good. The toppings were plentiful and the crust was so crunchy and good. The decor in the restaurant is dated but I enjoyed the experience read more

This is my favorite Marion's location to eat inside at! The whole experience is a vibe. All of the employees and so nice and helpful. Love the wall of famous people who have visited / pictures from over the years. The sausage is my favorite. read more

Solid pizza spot, it's not going to change your life but you're definitely gonna leave happy. Get the sausage and pepperoni

A couple good friends of ours rave about the pizza here so we definitely had to try it sometime. Nothing like a double date to serve as a good excuse to go, eh? And I can certainly say this place lived up to my expectations. Such a classic pizza dive in every sense. It reminded me of little pizza places I grew up loving back in North Carolina. As soon as we walked in, it felt like we stepped back in time to a classic pizza dive from the 60's. Such a cool, classic atmosphere. The menu wasn't huge but had great choices for pizza, salads, and sandwiches. Fancy an adult libation? They got some brews on tap, wines by the glass and decanter, and other libations in a cooler next to the bar (you can even grab a 40oz, and yes, I did). We ordered one large pepperoni pizza and one large Super Cheese pizza (Pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions and green peppers topped with a mound of cheese) along with a few drinks (Amberbock, a decanter of chablis, and a Miller Lite 40oz). For each order, they give you a number, and when your number is called your order is ready. We hardly waited long at all before our pizzas were ready. And good? VERY! The pizzas were cut into squares which made them very easy to indulge in. These were certainly some of the best and most flavorful pizzas I'd had in a while. Even the simple pepperoni had tremendous flavor. Of course, we managed to finish all of them. I really dig the classic feel of this place, not to mention the excellent pizza. I was hoping they'd have wings too but that doesn't make a return visit out of the question. I could definitely see coming here again for more. read more

Not a nice gluten free pizza. Probably the worst I have had in Dayton. I hope their regular pizza is better than their gluten free pizza!! read more

There aren't many words to describe this pizza restaurant but two i would use are "life changing". Not only is it amazing fantastic delicious pizza, but the romantic ambiance is like no other. Seriously, try it! Speedy, kind service, especially our waitress Georigia. i've never had such great help at a restaurant we love it! every time i'm in Dayton ill have it! read more

Marion's has been a local tradition for as long as I can remember....and still going strong! Whenever we come to Dayton, Ohio we always get pizzas at Marions - it has become part of our experience of visiting Dayton. The pizza is consistently good and a fan-favorite with its mutiple choose of great and fresh toppings. Our favorite is the sausage and we also get the slightly baked cheese pizza for my Mom. They know how to bake it exactly the way she likes it. Best pizza around hands down! read more

Still waiting...put in a call-in order for pick up an hour and twenty minutes ago...was told it would be ready in 20 minutes and I'm here and it hasn't even been made yet. Don't order here if you want anything on time... read more

Well the pizza had good flavor even thought the bottom of crust was nearly black and top of crust was wet doughy. Must of had ovens set way too high. And the place is filthy. Trash all over kitchen floor. Tables all over the place had plates and old drinks left on them. Only two other customers in entire place. And toilet was t any better. I will not go back to this place. Maybe clean the place and update a bit. The roof most likely leaking too as some of the 50 year old ceiling tiles had fresh water rings on them. read more

Dayton area staple!!! This is a must when we travel back to Ohio. They are amazing and never disappoint. I literally can eat an entire large pizza by myself and want more. Basically all the pizza are great. We love them all. We got a deluxe, half cheese and half pepperoni, ham and sauerkraut, gluten free small, and pepperoni, bacon and banana peppers. All so yummy. I ate way too much and was completely satisfied. These are thin crust pizzas that have the toppings edge to edge. If you are in Dayton and have never been you should stop and try them. They are a Dayton must! read more

This is for the Marions North location, it's filthy dirty. Restroom is very, very nasty. While eating our pizza, knats or sewer flies kept fling around the pizza, enough to make you sick. Avoid Marions North at all cost. read more

Marion's Piazza - Charging 8 bucks for no meat subs?? Cmon man you guys are better than that! - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Regrettably I had to give up on Marion's. They have a steak sandwich that I dearly love, BUT they can no longer make it right. THREE times in a row I ordered one for take out and THREE times in a row they didn't put the right things on it. I always get no cheese, they put cheese on it the first two times, and the 3rd time they didn't put mushroom gravy on it which is supposed to come on it automatically. I gave up, won't go back. No point in it, you can't get what you order. read more

I grew up in Dayton and when my family moved to NY, Marion's was one of the things we missed most! Now that I live in Ohio again I always try to stop at Marion's when I'm in Dayton. Their pizza is delicious, cut into almost bite size pieces, the thin crust and abundance of sauce and cheese make every bite amazing! The staff is super friendly and it's convenient that you order at the counter and then sit wherever you want. The restaurant is large with plenty of parking and the ability to reserve sections for a party. Marion's is a Dayton classic! read more

Always delicious pizza no matter what day it is. The prices for what you get is incomparable. Get yourself a Deluxe or Super Big Ass Cheese (whatever it's called) and just watch football with a pitcher of beer. Damn good food so definitely give this place a try. read more

I'm not a native of Dayton so maybe that's why I'm not as much of a fan as others' are of Marion's pizza. I ordered a pizza with sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, and onion. What I got was what looked like mostly a sausage pizza. Pros: They don't skimp on the sausage. Cons: Couldn't even see that there was any cheese. Green peppers were cut up into tiny pieces, what little there was, and were so very overcooked (like maybe well in advance?). Mushrooms had the consistency of those coming from a can -- not fresh by any means. And, yeah, there were a few onions. Edible? Yes, I ended up eating the whole thing in 2 sessions -- thus the 3 stars instead of 2. Tip? If you want a sausage pizza, order a sausage pizza and skip the add-ons. read more

Can't say enough about this home town Pizza in Dayton. Always been my favorite go to for pizza at least once a week. Ingredients are always fresh and plentiful along with quick service. Love how they have taken the COVID-19 precautions seriously and put in a new ventilation system to clean the air. Marions rocks! read more

We came on a busy Sunday afternoon. This is one large pizza shoppe! I came to find out this is a longtime local favorite for Kettering with many other locations. I think i see why. The sauce is on the sweet side, the crust is thin, and the toppings are well endowed. All personal favorites. I also like how they cut the pie in two-bite sizes. Not so messy! Good pizza. We'll be back when we need a pizza in Kettering. read more

Pizza was good but when we got finished we noticed that there was a unused staple laying on the cardboard tray. We told one of the boys working there about it but I doubt it did any good. 1/6/21 read more

A Dayton area tradition!! The pizza here will not be to everyone's liking and or expectations. It's not New York style, or Chicago deep dish, etc., etc. It's Dayton Ohio style thin crust. And it's AWESOME in my opinion! -- A bit pricy (compared to other area pizza offerings), but AWESOME! My go to is the deluxe, minus pepperoni, substitute ham instead. Makes the pizza much less greasy, and in my opinion, makes it taste even better! Truly one of a kind delicious! read more

Many years ago when we live in Dayton this was the best and every time we come back for Christmas the family all couldn't wait for the annual trip to get marion's. The past two trips were very disappointing. Simple reduced quality and the addition for this year is both pizzas were way over done. See pictures. read more

Sausage, Pepperoni and Mushroom. Everything perfect as usual. Crust delightful. Enough said

Tried for the first time and the pizza was delicious! I ordered on the phone and it was ready for pick up in just 15 minutes. Can agree with another reviewer that the staff member I interacted with did not seem happy to be there or to help a customer, but I hope it was just an off day and that the staff member is feeling better. :) read more

50 years ago, I ate here every Friday night with the rest of the Oakwood HS Marching Band after Friday night football games. In college, I played bass in the orchestra pit for the Kenley Players (the photos on the wall). I moved out of Oakwood so took a 50 year break. We ate here last Friday, 2017. The venue was clean, quiet, and a very pleasant atmosphere. I like that it does not have 30 TVs blasting ESPN. If I want to watch sports, I go to a sports bar. I came here to enjoy a nice quiet meal with the family. I got a medium deluxe with anchovies for me and a large cheese for the girls. Not only does the deluxe have the best sausage on earth, the anchovies keep others from eating my pizza. I'm Sicilian, so anchovies are in my blood. The food was awesome. It was weird that the customer has to order the food in one place and the drinks in another. I do not know of any other place that does this. It used to be a "cash only" venue, but just recently started credit cards. Great dining experience. Check it out! read more

Very clean place pizza was delicious, but the staff acted like they didn't want to help anymore customers. They were very rude and not friendly to first time visitors. read more

I gotta say this, and some people may not agree - but this location is not as good as Shroyer (what is your favorite location? Discuss). The pizza is good, but not as good. The staff are as good, and perhaps better I gotta admit. But the number one worst thing about this location vs. the others: The fake "it's like it's daytime even though it's dark outside so I'm totally disoriented when I get there and when I leave" lighting. WTF!! - What's the deal with the lights?!?! read more

I grew up in Dayton but never ate Marion's until I was an adult, and to this day I hate my parents for not filling my young belly with this delicious pizza as often as possible. All those wasted years, void of Marion's, it's just a travesty. It's a unique kind of pizza; square cut, crustless with a crispy dough, stringy sausage. But it tastes just heavenly. If you are looking for a big old floppy NY style slice then you won't find it here. Marion's pizza is more akin to small square cut pizza truffles that are savory to the max with each bite. You can literally put each small square right in your mouth, you don't even need to bite them. It's a whole new way to eat pizza. What I get: Pepperoni, sausage, extra cheese, and onion. Pros: -Great pizza. -Lots of beer, you can buy a 40oz with your pizza and drink it in a wholesome family environment. -Pitchers of soda. -Plenty of seating. Cons: -Cash only. read more

The pizza at this particular Marion's location is the best out of all their locations in my opinion, but I'm kinda disappointed right now with the service. I placed an order over the phone because my family was all super hungry (long day of traveling all over). In fact, I'm 9 months pregnant & hadn't had anything to eat since breakfast. Sadly, when we got here the order had been "lost" somehow & was never even placed. The manager gave us a discount which was nice (and rushed our order). It's just weird that an order could be lost.... Pizza is still delicious though! read more

Marion's Piazza - Yum! - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

It's been a while since I visited this Marion's, but the pizza has been killer in the past. I started visiting when I was in high school, and the experience is a little different when you have classmates behind the counter. As an adult, the experience is different (no risk of a classmate spitting on your pizza or dumping salt on it!) and more enjoyable. I'm with one of the other reviewers, I think the decor is a bit weird, including the fake sunlight. I don't go here for the ambiance though, I go for the great pizza. read more

First of all this is not a pizza parlor. What they make here is a flat bread with your choice of toppings. Pizza is made with a sauce that combines tomatoes with herbs and spices. At Marion's they smear tomato puree out of a can on a thin crust and then sprinkle the cheese on it. It's that simple. And don't ask for bell peppers on your topping. We requested bell peppers and got banana peppers. When I asked the person behind the counter what happened, he said they don't have bell peppers. I then pointed to the green peppers on the menu. Turns out he had no idea that green peppers and bell peppers are the same thing. That said it tastes okay. You get your choice of toppings on a pie that is cut into squares that are conveniently bite sized. read more
