If your looking for hot sandwiches, this place will suffice. If your looking for pizza, this place is the place to order from! I live in the local area of Murphysboro and have tried all the other restaurants and none of the pizza here gets any better than Martel's pizza. Their hand-tossed is what I've ordered before and it tastes like it was made with quality ingredients. I noticed a certain equilibrium between the dough, sauce, cheese, and meat, which caught my attention. Typically most places have little crust and lots of cheese or little cheese and lots of sauce. The pizza I had there definitely made my night. read more

I called in an order at 11: am, I went to pick it up at 11;15. There were 5 orders. I was going to have them deliver but 2 of the orders had the lunch special and they do not deliver those! I went to get them at 11:18, the pizzas were done and boxed on the counter, they were still making the sub. In the meantime at least 4 other people got waited on and left. I asked when my order would be done, she then went to make the salads, its now 11:25. Finally the sub sandwich is done but she's still making the salads. . 11:35 everything is on the counter, I asked them to give me new pizzas these were cold, they said there warm, No, I want new. I ordered 3 drinks, I had to make them I asked for a drink carrier and they said they don't have those and to put it in a plastic bag!!! If I would have known they would be this bad I would have taken someone with me . The chef salad that was one of the orders had little to nothing in it other then lettuce and cost $12.01. I finally walked out of there by 11:55. Very sad customer service. . One of the worst services I've ever experienced. LoriG read more

Online order Beware!!! Placed an online order over the weekend and said I need it delivered. However after waiting over an hour called and was told by a woman that it was on its way. Liar! Called again after another 1/2 hr spoke to a manager was told it's been there waiting for pickup! WTF then to add insult to injury manager had audacity to tell me it cost $2 more dollars to have it delivered, really it was your fault yet I have to pay! Well now I'm telling everyone I know to not go here and go to whiffle boys instead! Lost customer for life hope that pos incompetent liar employee gets fired!!! read more

Absolutely love their flaming chicken subs and pizza but honestly everything is great

Great food! With the lack of employees, they all worked very hard and had such a positive energy! It gave this place a great atmosphere! I would come here again! read more

Friendly staff. I can only comment on the buffalo wings. Very tasty, but very fatty. I've had much meatier, but not much tastier wings. The place is very clean with clean bathrooms, too. I'll be coming back for pizza & more. read more

Excellent food , service and quality. Such a great place to eat as well as visit with friends , co-workers or loved ones while dining. Great selection , clean and friendly atmosphere! Couldn't ask for anything better than Martel's ! read more

Great pizza and the service was outstanding! We had the Meat pizza by the slice. Great value! Highly recommend.

Absolutely the best. Their pizza is very good. We consistently get the thin crust or the deep dish pizza. Both are excellent. We also love their chicken wings and their Caesar salad to go both very good I highly recommend. read more

Eaten here many times, but have only just now ordered the pasta. I picked up spaghetti and meatballs as a late last minute dinner. It was delicious! For only 11 it was a large portion and came with mini breadsticks. Will definitely check out more of the pasta dishes in the future. read more

Loved the pizza! Stayed in town for a few days and found this place... We ordered a large supreme for carry out, order was on time and delicious! read more

Ordered for home delivery recently. Delivery was prompt and courteous. Placed order for wings. Indicated on order requested BarBQ Wings and received hot wings. Disappointing! In addition the ingredients on pizza very scantily distributed over the inner2/3 with none on outer aspect. Pizza sauce lacking as well. Not first Time this has occurred. Thick crust tasty but lacking ingredients. Have eaten at the location once and very pleased with food and service. Not satisfied with the inconsistent preparation and presentation. read more

Food and service has went downhill dramatically. Left without full order because our food was getting cold just waiting for bread sticks. The pizza is not like it used to be, our pizzas were basically cheese with a puddle of grease on top. Needless to say Martel's has lost our business. Better luck to those who do eat here. read more

Ate here many times and had excellent pizza, calzines, and subs but never had a salad from here. I ordered a Caesar salad last night and it had to be worst Caesar salad I ever had. Old soggy iceberg lettuce with a bland dressing. It was premade in a clear plastic container and I assume it had been setting in the back of the refrigerator for many days if not a week. Worst 10 dollars I ever spent. read more

Fast, friendly service. Glad this is in the 'Boro. I am not really supposed to eat dairy, but their chicken wings are the bomb! Their dessert pizza is pretty legit, too! read more

Loved the online ordering... Pizza and raviolis $26.. special should of gotten free breadsticks on Sunday.. that didn't happen. Food was cold all of it! Not impressed. Hate to leave a bad post but I can understand warm pizza but for the pizza and raviolis to be cold is annoying. I'll stick to the other pizza joint in town. read more

Came through town on our way home from vacation about 6pm on a Sunday and they were the only non chain restaurant open in Murphysboro. They were swamped with phone orders and pick up orders but the young lady handling the door was great. Friendly and accommodating even though it was insanely busy! Our food was ordered and delivered in a reasonable time and everything tasted great!! When in town we will definitely stop here again! read more

Got the Chicago style. 1 slice is enough. We had leftovers for 3 days off a Large. Salad was huge with lots of good toppings. Will definitely order again. read more

This pizza joint is probably the best value pizza in Southern Illinois. I've never been disappointed with their pizzas, so much so that I've never risked having anything but their pizza. Additionally, their dessert pizza is great. The cinnamon and apple is an easy go-to, but, and I'm surprised to be saying this, I think the peach is actually better. If you don't know whether to get one or two pizzas, go with a desert pizza at a fraction of the cost of another regular pizza. read more

Package salad dressing. Horrible spaghetti and meatballs. Bread sticks ok. Pizza. How can a pizza place be out of deep dish? Got a thin crust. You can get a better pizza from the grocery store. Definitely won't be back. read more

Awesome service! Nice people, great pizza! You have to come here if you are in the area, and like or have a pizza addiction like I do.

Ordered a pizza after getting off the lake. Seemed like it took them forever to make the pizza. Didn't seem busy but food was good.

I have given this restaurant chance after chance after chance after chance and they have only gotten my order right once. The first time I ever ordered from this disgusting place, I ordered a Philly cheese sandwich and it only came with one layer of meat that didn't even cover the length of the bread. I took one bite and noticed that it was all bread and took it back for a refund. And at the window... In the MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC I heard them fighting over who was going to eat it after me. Tonight I ordered an Italian chicken salad with bread sticks, they showed up without the salad and offered to take the price off when she's back to Martel's or to have someone come bring it. So I initially told her to take it off but not even 3 minutes after she left I called Martel's to have them bring my meal. My call was ignored 5 times well before closing time and with no confirmation that I got my money back. This is a joke of a restaurant and I'll never order from here again and will never let a friend that I care about order form such a place. read more

The pizza here is awesome. Was in town for a week and went three times. Each time we tried a new pizza/calzone and they just kept getting better. read more

Martels was one of my favorite places for a slice. The past few times the pizza was either burnt or raw. My latest experience is the place of business using my credit card to charge me three months later for my last visit. I called to ask why and got a fishy story. Results are I had to cancel my credit card to prevent any other fraudulent use. I encourage anyone else that has used a credit card with them to check your banking statements. Helen Cook I give no stars but can't post without clicking at least one. read more

Had been a long time customer but problems with two orders in three weeks has caused me to become a previous customer. One order was only partially ready when promised & when the other part of the order was ready, the first item was cold. Second order was never recorded so there was nothing there to pick up when I got there. There are other options and other places to spend my money. read more

Manicotti and subs are good, pizza is just "okay." Had an issue with them back-logging our debit card info. on Mondays for a couple of months - THEN charging a big chunk of $$ all at once! My wife liked to eat there on Mondays, so we had to contact them numerous times to get straightened out - made us a little gun shy to go here unless using a prepaid card. ??? They aren't supportive of some of the local school fundraising programs either, which is a real shame in such a small community! First that comes to mind is their neighbor, St. Andrew... Just a shame. read more

Ordered a Hawaiian volcano calzone with light onions, did not have pineapple on it what so ever, and seems as they substituted the pineapple with the onions, only had toppings in half of the calzone, the rest was just cheese, their quality has gone downhill in the past few years, will not be visiting again read more

I was more than a little bit weary about stopping at this place. The outside didn't look promising and the inside solidified my opinion. They didn't do much as far as interior design goes, but there also wasn't a line and I was starving. My husband and I ordered a medium Hawaiian pizza with no ham on one half (I'm always the difficult one). We waited about 10 minutes and they brought our pizza to our table. I immediately opened the box, scooped a slice of pizza and shoved it in my mouth. It was crazy hot, but hit the spot and was only $12. If I find my way back down south and crave a pizza, I would definitely come here again. read more

Traveling through town and decided to dine in. Great food, fast, clean and friendly. I'm glad we decided to stop in.

First review but have been here several times . Pizza is always excellent. Completely different flavor from other brands but really good!! Service is quick. They don't have tea available. They really need an unsweetened tea. read more

Great hot sub sandwiches and calzone. Reasonable price. Delivery. It's been a lunchtime favorite for a couple years now (previously under a different name). read more

Service was great. Staff was awesome. Food was great and affordable. The inside of the building is bad a$$, has that metal and rustic feel. Manager is a patriot and pulled some strings and even hooked a military member up with a patriotic pizza. That screams freedom. Come get some food, you won't be disappointed. read more

It is all handmade as ordered and it may take a few minutes to get what you ordered, but WELL worth it! The menu is set up to meet just about anyone's taste! Give them a try, you won't regret it! The staff are very friendly and accommodating! Oh, and they deliver also! read more

We have ordered three times with this restaurant and every time our order was wrong. This time specifically we asked for warm alfredo sauce (three times, including upon receipt) and it was freezing cold. We ordered garlic bread and received cheesy bread. Not worth the mistakes for the cheaper price. When we called to complain there was no offer to correct any mistake. read more

Best food that i actually crave and for a good price always courteous service. Plus only place that actually delivers to desoto il.

This place sucks ass!!!!!!! Never again the food was under done and mgr would not fix it! It was over priced as well

Friday night: my wife and I decided to order a pizza for delivery from Martel's. My wife called them, ordered a medium Italian, and TWICE very clearly asked for Jalapeno peppers ON THE SIDE. About 45 minutes later, the driver knocked on our door. He was insolent and somewhat less than polite. He acted as if he was somehow automatically entitled to a handsome tip. When we opened the box, we found the entire pizza was COVERED with jalapeno peppers, not separate on the side as my wife had clearly requested. The pizza itself was greasy and mediocre at best. When I called back to complain that our pizza had not been prepared as ordered, the girl who answered couldn't find our order and was not even slightly interested in our complaint. Save your money and go somewhere else --- ANYWHERE else! --- for your pizza. You can easily find better pizza and MUCH better service elsewhere. Stay away from Martel's. read more
