3 /5 Lawrence Wisk: I had heard a lot of good things about Pazzeria by Pietro’s in Marshall, so I went in with pretty high hopes. The staff was friendly enough, but the experience just didn’t live up to the hype for me.
They accidentally made the wrong size pizza at first, which happens, but it took a long time for them to remake it. You’d think correcting their mistake would’ve been a priority, but it didn’t feel that way. When the pepperoni pizza finally came out, the first thing I noticed was how few pepperonis there were – it honestly looked like they were rationing them. And once I tasted it, the flavor just wasn’t there. The crust was fine, but overall the pizza didn’t have much going for it.
The place has a lot of five-star reviews, so maybe I just caught them on an off day, or maybe this is what passes as “great pizza” in Marshall. Either way, it didn’t impress me enough to come back.
