“When you walk through the door of Marcello's, that classic tempting aroma hits you, reminding you of the pizzerias back east. The crust is just right and you can do the all-important New York fold, with your slice keeping its shape. (My fellow NYers know exactly what I mean.) The sauce is perfect - a little sweet but not too sweet - and the cheese and toppings are great.” - Yelp Review
