CPC invaded Marie's on 2/20/07.
Marie's has been around for decades and makes a popular thin crust pizza. The pizza makers hang out by the window, and the restaurant is attached to a liquor store, which you actually have to walk through in order to get to the restaurant. Why not pick up a bottle of wine? You can enjoy it with your dinner for a small corkage fee. That only goes for the wine, though. The entrance to the restaurant opens up on a bar and leads back to an ample space with plenty of tables and red booths lining the walls. Our server was friendly and seemed like she had worked there for a long time.
We ordered the following pizzas:
* thick crust, sausage and garlic
* thin crust, pepperoni and mushrooms
* thin crust, bacon
Overall, the pizza was quite good, but very greasy, particularly the pepperoni pizza. The thick crust pizza was just a bit thicker than the thin crust, but very similar. The mushrooms and garlic were canned/jarred, which is always a bit disappointing, but pretty standard for an old-school family restaurant like this.
Our pizzas came out in less than a half hour, and the cost came out to $7/person for the food, including tax and tip.
Petey gives Marie's 6.167/10.

Where it went down...

I wasn't too impressed with this place... it was decent pizza, but probably not worth an extended journey.

I thought Marie's made a decent pizza. Definitely not close to my top ten but a solid option if you're in the area.
