marozzi's pizzeria

closing early again.... i've tried twice now to enjoy this establishment's pizza (which is good) but they had decided to clean and close thediningarea inside the restaurant between 45-60 minutes prior to their posted closing time of 10:00 pm. again last night, we pulled up 45 minutes before closing to find the staff had put all the chairs on top of the tables and were mopping thediningarea. the open sign was lit but the two diners inside were surrounded by a forest of chair legs on top of tables. i totally understand prepping for closing and cleaning but really??? almost an hour early? i can imagine their thought process is well, nobody comes that late so we'll clean up early. and they're right, my party didn't cross their doorstep either time and chose to go somewhere else. if you're going to close thediningarea this early, then just close or say takeout only. i'm not ever going to be that person who rolls up 15 minutes before closing and wants to have a whole meal but with 45 minutes, we could have been in and out with minimal fuss before they closed. bummer... again....

love the pizza/hate thediningexperience.. when i found out marozzi's was expanding theirdiningarea i was so excited to try thediningroom menu and eat out. i think their pizza is the best in the area and we have been doing pizza takeout for a while now. but boy what we got was a chaotic experience and mediocre food.
first the front of the house was a mess. after placing our order we decided to find a good table. five tables had costumers and the majority were available. sort of. not 1 was cleaned! we choose a table that had the least amount of mess and cleaned it down with some napkins. as we waited for our food to be delivered we witnessed back of the house chaos too. boys running into each other like chickens without heads. no fewer than three times did a boy come out with a tray of food and try to serve us someone else's dinner. then that server would run around dazed trying to figure out whose food he had.
when we did get the food the taste was surprisingly bland and way too hot. the microwaved eggplant parm was hotter than a mcdonalds cup of coffee and mushier than a bowl of oatmeal.my friend had the eggplant parm on a subroll. same taste, portion very small, mostly bread. my third friemd got the chicken parm. also a great disappointment. it was a dried out piece of fried chicken.
next time we will just order the pizza and bring it back to our home to eat in peace and quite.
