    Have been here enough times over the years to say that both the New York Pies and the Napoletana Pies are both very good, so just go with whatever floats your boat at the moment.  All the ingredients are fresh and tasty.

    Best bet unless you are very hungry is to split a Pie and a Salad between two people.  For Large parties this is also the way to go, but it also allows for some mixing and matching of Pies and Salads.

    Parking is either Street Parking, or to the north of the Star Bar.  Both the Star Bar and Marco's share the parking area, best access if you are not driving southwest on Larimer is to come back through the alley

    It is busy and crowded in a very tight space, so reservations are a safe bet.

    On a random, yet romantic, evening - a couple decided to venture out into their new city and dive into some pizza pie that seemed to be all the rave. After a few glances at the menu and glowing Yelp reviews, it was no-brainer for the pair.

    Anxious to try these limoncello chicken wings that the reviews were incessantly mentioning, the gentleman didn't take two seconds to order those to get the meal started. The attentive and charming server swiftly took the wine order and returned with a highly-recommended and delectable red wine to pair nicely with the zesty chicken wings. The lady, attempting to just that...actually be a lady for once - ordered the Caprese salad to start. And was delighted to see a colorful plate bursting with flavor of rich tomato flavor and fresh basil taste. The mozzarella could have been a meal of its own as the portions were above generous, she thought.

    Now for the pizza. They pondered and pondered as this was a poignant decision in their saga of eating adventures. 'If we fail in our pizza preference then what kind of pansy restaurant goers are we?' they asked themselves. This would be a turning point in their dining careers - only facing downward; from which we may never return. BUT lo and behold, The Sicilia - loaded with ingredients from the likes ricotta, fresh mozzarella, salami, prosciutto, artichokes, and mushrooms and a thin bottom layer of crust and even crispier outer layer of crust - came to our taste buds' rescue and saved them from their order anxiety. They had made the bold and sure choice that would set the stage for numerous good meals to follow. But then again, any pizza on the menu would have been just as good. But don't tell them that.

    I went here with a group of 10 people and it was definitely a great experience! It was a little hard to find, but when we did I was impressed with how nice it looked even though it was in a slightly sketchy area. The inside was beautiful and we got comfortable seating. The waitress was the nicest I have met in a long time and she was good at recommending the best things on the menu.

    Almost everyone ordered a different type of pizza and we all got our own 12 inch deliciously prepared pizza. For dessert we got a NUTELLA PIZZA!!! It was so rich and good that I wanted to eat another one, but I will admit that the best dessert there is the Dolce Pizza with ricotta, honey, and almonds.

    My only problem was the pricing, but if you come prepared with enough money then you'll have a great time! Also, free refills!!!

    We met friends here for dinner. It's a cute place that serves good pizza. Their lemoncello chicken wings were the best food we were served by far. You must order them if you go here! Their pizza is good, but nothing exceptional. Their crust is great! It's served on the side as bread with salads and is so good!

    Love this place. I've tried many of their pizzas and have not been disappointed yet. The wait staff is always very enthusiastic, and they have fantastic lunch specials and happy hour specials. It's become one of my go-to places in LoDo.

    Tasteless, overpriced, burnt, wrong food, rude. Delivery took twice as long and then they informed me that they couldn't send out new un burnt, correct food because they were closing. They said they'd give me 10% off next time. Rlly? 10% off $100 messed up order? And this offer came only after speaking to 3 different people. You know what, keep your 10%. Hopefully you will respond more appropriately to people's messed up orders after seeing this review.

    I have heard great things about this place, but never got to it until tonight.  I grabbed the Bronx pie (ricotta, meatball, romano, basil)....thing was great!  Also, the waited was very on things and good personality.  I will be back!

    In town (from Orange County, CA) visiting my best friend.  

    Take-out order:
    Campania- $14 Bufala Mozzarella, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Fresh Basil, EVOO
    Sicilia-$18 Ricotta, Fresh Mozzarella, Genoa Salami, Prosciutto Cotto, Artichokes, Mushrooms, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, EVOO
    Caesar Salad-$8

    The pizzas were both very good, quality ingredients and the order was prompt and ready for us just as we pulled in.  I feel like the prices are about $3-4 too much for each pizza and same with the salad.

    Of all the places I talked to about hosting a party of 20, the owner Marco and others at this place were the warmest.
    Other places like Vita, Ale House didn't offer the friendliness. Vita tried to charge me $300 and Ale House said they can't seat us unless all 20 show up.
    Marco was helpful and they made arrangements to seat us in their patio.

    The pizzas were awesome, I loved the burnt taste of coal fired ovens. Drinks were awesomo.

    Prices were ok.

    I want to go here again for good pizza. Anyone wanna join me?

    Really outstanding pizza of the true Naples variety. Stopped in for lunch on a Friday. Ordered the weekday lunch special that included beverage, salad, and a nicely portioned personal sized pizza.  I opted to add sausage as a topping.

    Salad was good (nice fresh grape tomatoes and mozz cheese).  It was out quickly. They should include more vinegarette dressing (next time I will request extra on the side if it doesn't have enough for my taste).

    Now, the main attraction... the pizza.  Was delivered to my table shortly after finishing the salad.  Upon inspection, everything looked great.  The pizza had a few of the trademark areas of black on the crust.  After taking the first bite, I knew this was A+ pizza.  I thought the sausage wasn't up to par with the rest of the pizza, so next time I will opt for different topping(s) or perhaps no toppings.  There is only 1 kind of sausage, sweet italian.  I prefer the spicier italian.

    If your tastes are national pizza chains, you probably won't like this place. If you are a pizza connoisseur, you should try Marcos.  If you like Pizza Locale in Boulder, you will probably like Marcos as well.

    Service was great, as was the atmosphere.  If you go at night, be keenly aware of your surroundings.  It is not in the best section of downtown. This area seems to be improving with the gentrification taking place.  It is just a few blocks from Coors Field.

    I will be back and will be taking the family to sample some of the other pizzas at Marcos.

    I have been here a couple times in the past, and I have tried their food at the Taste of Colorado and at the Hedonists Guide to Tailgating event at the Grow Haus.  The funny thing is, I think they made a good pizza, but I think they make great appetizers.  Don't get me wrong, their pizza is solid, but I have had it come out with a soggy center as often as not, and that is rather off-putting to me.  Perhaps my favorite thing on their whole dang menu is the Coal-Fired Lemoncello Chicken Wings.  These are served with Vidalia Onions and Focaccia Bread.  They are simply amazing.  The flavor is mouthwateringly unique, with a sour and salty flavor profile.  The onions on the side are almost as good as the wings themselves.  I simply cannot get enough of this wonderful stuff.  The happy hour specials (Sun-Thurs, 3pm to 6pm) are decent.  They have $3 beers, $4 wines, $5 cocktails, and you can get those oh-so-tasty wings for around a buck each.

    Interesting options, but I came for a thin crispy, yet chewy crust and I got a flabby doughy mess.....the masses seem to love it though.  The masses are asses.

    I saw a commercial for Papa John's Pizza earlier and couldn't help but laugh at the end when the self-named "Papa John" looks right at the camera and says with a smirk, "Better ingredients. Better pizza!" What a bunch of bullshit.
    If you really like good pizza -- no, if you appreciate good pizza -- then head to Marco's. The dough alone is worth the extra price you'll pay over the crap that PJ's and Dominos attempt to pass off as pizza. Marco and his boys bake their pies in scorching-hot ovens fueled with, well, coal. Each pie comes out with a crust that is slightly charred in spots -- not burnt - which is a telltale sign of a coal-fired oven. Damn, it's good stuff.
    I am amazed at the gluten-free dough that Marco has developed. It bakes into a crust that is slightly chewy, with a consistency and texture that actually reminds me of pizza made with flour containing gluten. If you've ever eaten bread or pizza made with flour sans gluten, you'll understand what I mean when I say it rivals the flavor and texture of cardboard. My wife, who is a Celiac chick and has been sentenced to eating a GF diet for the rest of her life, loved her GF margherita pizza from Marco's LoDo  restaurant. Marco's GF pizza crust must be a scientific breakthrough. It's like he found the Holy Grail.
    We've only done takeout from the LoDo Marco's, but the atmosphere there is awesome. The exposed red-brick reminded me of the numerous restaurants and bars (and our last apartment) when we lived in Boston. The staff is very friendly, too. It's a recipe made up of better ingredients that make for better pizza.

    Love Markos! Brought several friends there on several different occasions. I recommend any pizza they have but the simpler the better. Salads are all excellent and try the desert pizza.  you must have a great divide IPA with your Abruzzo  pizza.

    The coal-fired oven is wonderful. And the staff is also excellent. Love this place!

    Able to walk to Great Divide brewing.  I don't give 5 stars lightly.

    I arrived mid-day on Monday to find some of the best and most innovative wings I've ever had. Marinated in lemoncello with some thyme and parsley, served under some sauteed onions with focaccia on the side. It's worth going here just for those. I'm sure the pizza is as impressive. I noticed many gluten-free options on the menu as well.

    New favorite downtown!

    Delicious pizza, great cocktails, and out of this world wings. I know the wings are unexpected, and they aren't your typical wings but they are amazingly tasty. The place itself is really fun with a nice bar set up, lots of booths, and great decor, all in an intimate setting. The people are Marco's really care about what they do and make. They will tell you with pride all about their pizza making, down to the last sprinkle of cheese, and the bartenders are proud of their original and handcrafted cocktails. I think their Moscow Mules are the best in town, with their Pear/Prosecco Mojitos being a close second. I love going here to watch the games on Sunday, it draws an upbeat crowd that can really get into it if there is a Broncos game on!

    Great service, Rob put up with our group very well. We like to speak our mind and have great time no matter who's around. The pizzas are wonderful, the hells kitchen one was my fav. Not much of a wine selection or cider, but maybe that will change in the future.

    The manager Nicole was very helpful!!!!

    I found this place on Google when my friend and I were driving around looking for a place to eat. Both of us are new to the area, so I had to go off of reviews.

    This place had good reviews, plus I had an independent suggestion from a coworker to go here. It turned out to be a good choice.

    The restaurant itself isn't to my style, but I can say I appreciated their dining room chairs. They're wood chairs with casters on the legs and a swivel. I felt like I was in  board meeting. It was great.

    The pizza was also fantastic. I really liked it and could have taken down two of them.

    The waiter was hilarious and added to our meal. Kudos, waiter. You were cool.

    Oh that's some darn fine pizza!  Lacey M and I came in with a coupon for a free Margarita pizza with a purchase of another.  We sat at the bar, it was about 6pm and not much happening yet.  The bartender was friendly, got me a beer right quick, which always makes me happy.  They offered the Organic Amber from Deschuttes, a nice stray from the norm.  As per our directions on the coupon, we ordered a Margarita and  the Hell's Kitchen, which boasted capicolla and salami with fresh basil.  Delicious!  And the Margarita was great too.  Fresh and basic sauce, thin and crispy crust, and not too much cheese.  I'm ashamed to say I ate WAY more than I should have, but it was too good not to.  They serve pizza with small dishes of red pepper and freshly grated Parmesan.  

    On top of that, the joint is very inviting and spacious and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.  I'm going to be making my way back here, because excellent pizza notwithstanding, they have limoncelo wings....WHAT?!

    We didn't find Marco's on purpose, but I am sure glad we did! It happened to be not too far from the Great Divide Brewery, so we stopped in to get a pizza to go and have a beer while we waited.

    Let me just say this: I am in love with Marco's menu. We opened it, hoping to find an option acceptable for both my boyfriend and I, and I couldn't even focus because my eyes were bouncing around trying to settle on just one thing that looked good! My boyfriend is a little less adventurous when it comes to food, so he wasn't really feeling any of the pre-set options (but let me tell you, I could come back and try each and every one of them and be stoked about it). We got a 12" with pepperoni, spicy salami, and artichoke (only on my half, of course). YUM! I'm a little sick of the thick Chicago pizzas that we tout as the best ever, and Marco's was a nice reprieve from the cheesy messes I've been eating lately. It was a little pricey, but given the good deal we had on beer (below), I'm willing to overlook that :)

    We also agreed that the beers we had were our favorites of the night. I had a wheat beer that was on tap and only $3 at the time, and the bf had the Green Lakes Amber Ale, also $3. Marcel, the bartender, was fun and friendly. If I lived in Denver, I could see myself stopping in here quite often.

    I love thin crispy fast cooked pizza. This is the real deal. Good topping selection (quality, not just variety) and tasty sauce. Not just another pizza. The oven matters, and I used to own a pizza joint. I also enjoyed the meatball sliders.

    Sunday we had bottomless mimosa. We had fun and the staff did too. I am not against paying a bit more if the quality is there. There is another great place across the street, with a totally different style. There is room for both depending on what you are after.

    Why haven't I written a review for this great place yet?!

    Almost three years ago, I met Marco at a baseball game and he invited us in to try out his pizza.  If you know me, you have heard me say, "If I never have pizza again, it will be too soon."  That about sums it up, I have been sick of pizza since I was 13.

    This place is a total exception.  The Del Rey pizza is the bees knees.  We always order the wings as an app, and split the pizza.  The delivery is just as good, the flavor and heat are not lost during the trip to our house.

    If we come in, we enjoy some of the tastiest moscow mules in town.

    Anytime we have visitors from out of town, we recommend the coal fired pizza.  Now everytime my Dad is in town he wants to go to Marcos.

    Last weekend, after the tattoo convention in Keystone, about 20 of us got together in the basement.  The service was prompt, friendly and fun.  It is important to be witty around a bunch of tattoo collectors and artists, and they pulled it off beautifully.

    Thank you Marcos for being our "go-to"!

    The best pizza I've ever eaten in my life was at Marco's Coal Fired Pizza.

    The company I work for is based in Denver so when I was there I wanted to try some of the local food.  This place was recommended and it didn't disappoint.

    I was there with another person that I worked with and we couldn't decide on just one pizza so we went with two and split them.  The pizza's are a bit small at around 10 inches so I'm glad we got two.  I'm pretty sure they ran about 18 bucks per pie.  Now, that may seem pricey but once you take a bite into this slice of perfection you realize you got what you paid for, a sexy party in your mouth.

    The two pizza's my coworker and I got were the Toscana and the Brooklyn.  We also got an order of the wings.  The wings are nothing special but the pizza was out of this world good.  

    The service was awesome and it's a very clean place to eat.  I can't wait to go back!

    Last night, my boyfriend and I decided to spend a night in.  We thought we'd order delivery, buy an on-demand movie and relax.  

    We ordered Margherita & Staten Island pizzas and a House Salad to share.  The guy on the phone was super sweet and told us that he was down to 1 delivery driver.  He said it'd be about 1 hr and 15 minutes til we got our food

    2 hours later, we're super hungry and still don't have our food.  I call the restaurant and the girl on the phone is super helpful and looks into it.  She comes back on the phone and tells me it should be here any minute.  

    About 10 minutes later it shows up.  The delivery guy has no change for a $20 bill, and tells us he'd have to go down to his car to get it.  Then he tells us to just not worry and that we'd get him next time making both of us feel kind of cheap.  If you're a delivery guy, you should have change, right?

    We open the bag of goodies and realize that they have not brought us a salad, but a cannoli instead.  I immediately pick up the phone to report the error and the gentleman on the other side of the phone informs me that they'll drive a salad right out to us.

    We receive the salad in 10 minutes and then ask THIS delivery guy if HE has change.  He does and so he breaks the $20, and I ask him to give the cash to our previous driver.  I'm hoping that he did.

    I get back to my apartment and there I open my pizza.  It's cold.  Both pizzas are cold.  They're not even luke-warm.  I try the piece of my Margherita and it's...okay.  However, I'm willing to bet it tasted a lot better hot.  I tried a piece of the boyfriend's 'za and it was much better, but still would have benefitted from some heat.  The way it was cooked, we knew that if we put it in the toaster oven or oven to warm it, it would have burned, so we just sucked it up.

    The salad, on the other hand, was super tasty.  I loved the dressing and the ingredients were super fresh.

    All & all, I'm really not impressed.  Judging from the other reviews, I guess we should have gone in and it would have been a much better experience.  I would be willing to try this place again, but for $40 for 2 small 10" pizzas and a little salad, I'd be apprehensive.

    Five stars doesn't always note expensive, small plated, fancy food.  Five stars can be for the most amazing food you've had and you would drive completely out of your way saying to yourself "I have to have it".  

    Marco's is one of those amazing places that keeps it simple and utterly delectable.  It was my first time last night visiting Marco's, I can honestly say I don't think I can wait a week before coming back again.  We were grabbing a quick bit before the Rockies game and decided upon Marco's for some awesome pizza.

    What we ordered, we decided to share a salad and then split a pizza.  We got the Pontinia Salad with Asian Pear, Granny Smith Apple, Walnuts, Lemon Vinaigrette.  No iceberg here, this is a quality salad with the freshest ingredients with a nice tangy vinaigrette.  Onto the pizza, we got the Toscana Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Topped with Arugula, Grape Tomatoes, Prosciutto di Parma, Gran Cru and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.  I'm drooling as I'm typing this, the pizza was that amazing.  The crust was thin and had the authentic taste of being in a 1,000 degree oven.  Toppings are quality and there is no need to stack them mile high, there is just enough so you can taste each one and they taste sublime together.  

    I worry that I live too close to this place, I may be here every day.  This could be a problem.  I hear great things about the Limoncello Wings and I'm 100% sue on my next visit my stomach will experience some truly unique wings.  

    Marco's is heaven in my mouth!

    I visited this place the first week they opened. I've lived in Italy for many years so I was excited to have the real thing here in Denver. The pizza was awesome!
    I have been back a few times and pizza never disappoints. Recently I am on a gluten free diet so I was glad to see they have this alternative.
    The chicken wings are incredibly good. One of the best in town: juicy and perfectly crunchy in the outside.
    Service has always been great.
    I have two comments on the "minus side" the marinara sauce is loaded with garlic. I would say too much. Real Italian sauces do not have excesive amounts of garlic.
    More is not always better.
    Espresso was not very good (Italian husband's comment)
    Great neighborhood, place has great vibe

    Great pizza in general (says my friends). Great GLUTEN FREE pizza, says I. I love going to Marco's or picking up for takeout. The specialty pizzas are to die for.

    I enjoy the decor here of being nice, yet casual with booths. I also love the outdoor patio area. The drinks are great and the service friendly.

    Moving from Manhattan to Denver I was sad and nervous about my gluten free options, especially pizza. I am delighted to find out that Denver is even MORE gluten free friendly than new york, somehow. Amazing. So happy to have Marcos!

    I seriously have no idea why I haven't reviewed Marco's before considering I have had almost every pizza on the menu there - this place is incredible! The service is great and the pizza even better! I just had the carbonara pizza the other night and it was delicious!!! I tend to sit at the bar because Marcel (the bartender) is hilarious and amusing to watch - as well as an incredibly great guy and provides wonderful service.

    The chicken wings are PHENOMENAL! Not kidding. I eat them as a meal sometimes. My best friend loves the foccacia bread and always gets some to go.

    The patio is very cute and I have rented the downstairs before for a birthday party. Its also a nice space and they basically let me set it up how I wanted.

    The restaurant is smaller but very cool and the food is absolutely worth the wait! (They do take reservations, which I think is incredibly helpful on the weekend or ballgame nights). They also have their own parking lot which opens up after 5 I believe...

    Love. This. Place.  Probably one of my favorite pizza places in Denver, if not my absolute favorite.  Happy hour, patio, great food, good service, great wine/bev selection, trendy but not pretentious.  What more could you ask for?  

    The only thing I don't like about Marco's...sitting downstairs, I feel like the kid that gets picked last and left out of everything.

    Best customer service EVER.  

    We were in town visiting and sought out a pizza place that could meet our gluten-free dietary restrictions.  The reviews on Marco's looked promising, so we made the drive over and found a comfy booth.  From the second we arrived until the second we left, we felt so well taken care of.  We had multiple employees (manager/owner?) come over and check on our meal.  It was really attentive and thoughtful without being obtrusive.  Our waiter gave us great suggestions and we ended up ordering 4 gluten free pizzas (thank goodness pizza reheats well!).

    Every single one of the pizzas was AWESOME.  Their gluten-free crust is incredible - one of the best I've ever had.  My favorite pizza had proscuitto and arugula, but the pistachio and the Brooklyn pizzas were great too.  Best part of our meal?  The GF Nutella dessert pizza.  Heavenly.  

    I'm so glad that we made the 20+ minute drive over to Marco's. They really exceeded our expectations on service and the food. Cheers!

    I love that you can walk in, order, pay and they will deliver to you in Star Bar next door. I also love the coal-fired crispy crust and fresh ingredients. Last time I sat at the bar 2 waitresses for the Mexican place next door came in for a shot while on break... classy.

    Marco's also delivers to Lohi. Very thankful for that.

    As a half Italian from the Northeast I have to say I know my pizza pretty well. Over the years my tastes have evolved from a strictly New York style pizza connoisseur to someone who fully appreciates Neapolitan pizza as well.

    It turns out this place has both (although I am not convinced the New York style is a proper NYC pie). I really enjoy the traditional margarita with some prosciutto added, be sure to ask for a well done pie so the center stays crispy. As you bit into the crust you will notice a wonderful chewy body that is very difficult to find outside of Italy.

    Finally came in here last Saturday for lunch with a coworker and I was so happy I did. Great service from the moment we walked in. Leah, our server was excellent, very personable and helpful with recommendations.

    We started with the meatball sliders and then split a Staten Island pizza. Both were great in presentation as well as taste.

    I like the modern contemporary decor at this location. Theres a good mix of colors thats not overdone and the brick wall adds character.

    Great food, great atmosphere and service means I will be back at Marco's soon enough. I'm sorry it took me so long to finally get here in the first place.

    Haven't been here in a long time, but a visit from out-of-town family brought us here. The gluten-free options are a big hit (for me). What I like about this place is that everything always tastes really good. We had the wings as an appetizer and they were interesting. The gluten-free pizza isn't the absolute best in town (That honor goes up the road) but it was still really solid and unique for what it is. Could've had more cheese though.

    Still it's a place that I've always appreciated and especially handy to take out-of-towners.

    Great food, service and atmosphere.

    First time at Marco's and trying Neapolitan pizza...definitely worth checking out as much better than traditional pizza. Service was immediate and knowledgeable. Great value on the lunch special. Will be back again

    This place = Reason #46 why I would love to live in Denver  and reason #56 why I use Yelp

    As I often do, I check into the place I'm eating while looking at the menu.  Much to my surprise, this restaurant offered a free happy hour drink.  My friend didn't check in, but they granted her a free drink as well.  For me, I ordered a martini.   For this alone, I  think the customer service is pretty great.   As the night carried on, I found the customer service had gotten better.  The waitress was awesome in her advice on the dishes as well as dating.  Yes..dating.

    As for the food, everything was so delectable.  My friend and I shared a salad and a pizza.  The sizes were perfect.  

    The restaurant's ambiance was as delicious as the food.  The atmosphere was laid back.  The restaurant's door was open and inviting.

    2 stars. Yup. Here's why:

    Da Hub and I just moved to Sloan's Lake--a hop, skip & a jump to downtown by way of the ol' Fax. So why does Bitchy McGee almost have an aneurysm when I call to order for delivery? "Oh my GOD no we don't deliver to you! You're like way over on the West-Side!!" Dun-dun-dunnnnnnnnnnnn! She's spitting this out through the phone as I've got her coordinates mapped out to mine on Google Maps--I'm located 3 miles away. I don't want her to collapse so I opt-out of a mapping argument and tell her I'll just pick up then. She's clearly irritated by my existence, but I want a gluten-free pizza at 9pm, so I try my darnedest to offer my order out in the most polite and friendly way possible. Despite this, the conversation ends by her barking "Got it." as she hangs up. No total, no see-you-soon niceties, just the white-noise of disconnect.

    As fate would have it, we had a slight snafu at our new house (water heater issues) and I lost track of time (not terribly unusual for me I'm afraid--which is also why delivery was my first choice). At 9:40, the Mr. reminds me that we have a pizza pick up. I rush out the door and leave him to the heater mess.

    I get to Marco's at 9:51 and this includes parking, lights, drunkards roaming all over the streets like the start of the zombie apocalypse, etc. --GOD what a long trek. *sarcasm detector, BING*

    The place is still pretty hoppin', and I walk over to the hostess deck  to get my pick-up. I stand there for about 5 minutes when some girl approaches me with a scowl to make Walter Matthau envious, "Um, yeah, hi. We're closed".  I tell her I'm here for my pick up. I'm not kidding, she looks me up & down and then shakes her head, "Hrmph. Oh." as she skulks off. I stand there confused for about another 60 seconds and as I'm surmising that she is probably Bitchy McGee from the phone,  the bartender calls to me, "Hey there pretty, you need something?" I wander over, inconspicuously clearing  the crowd of saucy yuppies with my elbows, and I belly up to the bar. I give my name & I explain that I'm here for my pick-up. To my encouragement, he seems to know exactly who I am and where to procure my items. I tip him well because he's friendly & geeky cute. He's the extra star here.

    The pizza: atrocious. To be fair, YES it was the gluten free version, but omg what a botch job. The dough was flavorless and RUBBERY. Rubbery like, I had to chew it for five minutes so that I wouldn't choke on it. I DID choke it down too, because I paid a day's wages for the gluten-free option. The toppings were dry & gritty like they had been sitting under a heat lamp. At one point I had a crunchy bite of sausage. Are you hearing me people? CRUNCHY SAUSAGE. Wtf?!

    I felt myself cursing Bitchy McGee the whole time too, like somehow the shitty pizza was also her doing. And shitty pizza INDEED.The next day, both of us were gastrointestinally compromised.  After that little cherry topper, and adding the snotty 'tude of certain employees *AHEM B. McGee*,  this pizza joint is ruined for my lifetime, anyway you slice it.
