After a recommendation from Katie, I decided to take my father out for his birthday at Marcello’s. I brought my sister and brother in law as well.
Marcello’s is situated at the end of strip mall and the interior is rather campy. Dark booths, a lot of woodwork and shingles around the kitchen area to simulate another roof. Right away, my sister and I commented on how it “smelled like pizza.” It was strong.
We ordered some cheese bread as an appetizer and they gave us so much it could have been a meal by itself. Our large pepperoni pizza came soon after and immediately reminded me of many other midwestern round pizzas cut in squares or party-style. There were little pools of grease and the cheese and sauce dripped off the edges. The slices themselves were quite tasty and most notable was the particularly spicy pepperoni. Outside the pepperoni this pizza was a no-surprises, straight up pie.
The slices came apart nicely and worked great for a party of four. We didn’t finish our bread and when it was down to our last slice nobody would claim it. Our waiter, Tony, said that he’d prepare it for take out for us with the bread. We thought he’d just put it all in a box but when he came back, we all were impressed with his packaging: the last slice was individually wrapped in foil. Cute. Great service.
Many locals in Plymouth say this is the best pizza in town. Check it out.

This is one I will add to the list. Normally when we head up this way for a movie or such, we just grab a burger at Red Robin, because it is “safe”. But this looks good, like Pizza Flame in Coon Rapids and Fridley.
