Marions used to be my favorite but I don’t think it’s the same as it was just a few years ago. When I do go, I always ask that my pizza be baked in the old ovens, rather than on the conveyors. Still, something has changed I think!

I also think Marions has changed their pizza in some way. I had been away a few years and when I tried it again, it wasn`t the same. I think its the sausage.It seemed a bit dry.

It is dine-in or carry-out, but they aren’t going to take advance orders. So, you have to order there, but you can eat the pizza wherever you want.

YES!!! This is great! I am so going to take advantage of this. Oh and Doc, I have traveled all over the world and most of the U.S. and still love Marion’s. It isn’t a cultured thing, dear. It is a great Dayton mainstay doing something kind for the APPRECIATIVE Dayton residents.Have dined at Marion’s since I was born, literally! My parents dated there in the 70’s and I will always support them with my business.

I wonder what Doc thinks a good pizza is supposed to be? Maybe he thinks Papa John’s is fantastic. I would bet a substantial amount of money that he couldn’t tell one pizza from another if he had to. It doesn’t have to be the “greatest”, it’s what people from Dayton eat.

That’s okay, AK. I’ve traveled extensively as well and just love Speedway’s pizza!! ;) Guess there’s no accounting for taste, is there? And if their so good, why do they not support the little league, accept credit cards or give refills of soda? Greediness? Cheap? Both?

By eric

August 4, 2009 1:12 PM | Link to this

Obviously people don’t seem to care if they give free refills or accept credit cards. And there draft beer prices are the cheapest in town. Cassanos probably takes credit cards, gives free refills, and gives money to little league. But it definately hasn’t helped their business. Go to Marions on a friday night and then to Cassanos and look at their crowd.

Just because you play in a beer softball league doesn’t mean everybody needs to bend over backwards for you. Why do rec softball players think they’re a big deal? Marion’s owes no one anything more than they give.Even tbill.

Doc, it is a business. There is no law saying that all businesses must be philanthropic. Maybe this anniversary pricing is as far as they would like to go charitably. The point is, businesses are in it first and foremost to make money. Don’t be naive.

Doc, as a former employee, I can atest to the fact that none of the pizza is “a mass produced, prefab glob of dough, sauce, cheese and meat”. The dough is made at the Dixie location for all stores and each pizza is handmade. I know I certainly put in plenty of hours making and cooking pizzas. I do think they taste best in the old oven (Roger, are you hearing this? Most people don’t like the conveyor belt!!) but I still think the pizza is fantastic!! How many places can you work for for 8 years and still love the food there?!?!

By Diane

August 4, 2009 3:32 PM | Link to this

Doc if you don’t patronize them why did you even find it necessary to read the article and post a comment. As far as the quality of the pizza, they happen to use some of the best and freshest meat in the area which is from Landes, so please do a little research before you go spouting off nonsense. And as far as taste, do you have any idea how many people have moved from this area and still have this pizza shipped to them, so who are you to insult anyones taste.

For those who continue to try to put Marions down calling it mass produced they apparently dont even read the menu!

Having grown up elsewhere and moving to Dayton just a few years ago, I heard a ton of praise and such about Marion’s. It took awhile, but I finally tasted some about 2 years ago. I wasn’t impressed, honestly. It was pizza. shrug We’ve also ordered their salads for take-out here at work, and again, good but nothing I’d kill to have again. Cheap pizza is good, fresh (non-frozen) pizza is good. Waiting two hours amidst a chaotic crowd and paying for multiple drinks with no refills… not so much. Think I’ll stay home and let my husband make pizza for us instead.

Marion’s is ok but not as good as it was back in the 70’s! or as good as Cassanos. They need to get some newer pictures of the stars that get free stuff there. Anybody that’s 30 or younger doesn’t have a clue who most of the stars in those pictures are! They need to get into the 21st century and take credit cards.

Quit complaining about the credit cards.The economy is the way it is party because of credit cards.If you can’t buy it then you shouldn’t be getting it. It’s an old favorite. I don’t think I would enjoy it as much if they Updated the “decor” and got all fancy. It brings back the old days. It has that “feels like home” effect on ya.And the pizza..To some it may just be the norm. not too good but not too bad. But to us it’s awesome. Maybe it’s not just based on the taste. it’s the whole experience.You complain that they don’t support your softball teams. well go to the mall and see if american eagle or all those stores if they’ll do it…Marions isnt a national pizza chain. Therefore I don’t think they should. They give back to their own community in ther OWN ways.Like this special. going out of their way to do it.”usually only every 5 yrs.should be nxt yr” and as a matter of fact I know some ppl that have been managers and they also donate $ and give in other ways. just bc they dnt support u doesn’t mean they don’t do it at all. Get your facts straight. MARIONS. FRESH PRODUCT. GREAT PRICES.GREAT ENVIROMENT.AND DID I SAY YUMMY???

For the one that said they need updating. There is a newer marrions by the dayton mall that was built after the old one was burnt down. “Tragedy” but if you prefer a newer atmosphere dining experience. Then you should try there. It’s awesome. inside and out. and to Jamie, I agree. You shouldn’t trash a place just because of credit cards. The refill thing does kind of stink. but pizza hut also did that for years just like a lot of places used to. they are not the only ones that don’t offer refills. most food courts don’t. Fairs,carnivals. etc. and you ppl aren’t trashing them. If you have nothing but bad things to say about a place. then why come to a website and search for it and take time out of your day to read about it and post a comment. “do you secretly like it” lol

Doc, you are right. Roger does not give away free food to softball teams who can afford to buy it. but instead gives it away to homeless shelters and ect who NEED it. You talk about marions and roger not giving back…well what do you call the roll back sale?, just a thought, but i would like to know how many million dollar plus companys you know of or have worked for where the OWNER signs your paycheck, or works in the store beside you, or better yet leaves you his cellphone number to call if you have a problem, with the economy as bad as it is he still gave an x-mas bonus to his managers, and a rais eto his employees. better yet not one single person has been laid off. So when you talk about giving back i think he gives enough.

If you don’t have $3 in cash DO NOT COMPLAIN about them not accepting credit cards because you have more important things to worry about! Credit card processing is expensive, I don’t blame them. If I take the offer today I am going to do take-out and use my own drinks at home.

Grew up eating Marion’s.It’s still my favorite. Moved away and feel so pizza deprived because there is no Marion’s. Must Drive an hour and a half to go get good pizza. And are happy to do it.When I was 11 or so the Dayton Gems(a hockey team) used to hang there. Was a big deal for us to see them and sometimes some of the Reds Baseball players. In the Days of Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, and Tony Perez. Was a big thrill for us.This was the one on Dixie. Now we meet our children and grandchildren and now a greatgrandbaby there,for Thanksgiving Eve,Christmas Eve & B.Days.At various different Marions. I think it’s still the best pizza I’ve ever had.Cassano’s is close but not as good. Marion’s will always have the best thin crust. Most pizza places have no clue how to make a good thin crust.And I think the promotion is great with the old prices.Will be going to the Marion’s on Fairfield Rd. Sat. to meet the kids for the Popcorn festival.Son-in-Laws Band is playing there from 3-5. I am salivating just thinking of having great pizza once again. Thumbs up to you Marion’s. You Rock!
