“I've ordered from Illiano's in Norwich and Colchester and can only speak to the pizza but, Oh my goodness! There is such a difference in the two restaurants and this one is world's above the other. The sicilian style here is incredible, Thick crust, loaded with cheese and a pie that nearly touches the sides of the box it is so thick and big. Norwich serves something comparable to a pizza hut crust and comes nowhere near filling the box while skimping on the cheese. The stuffed Meatlover's here is magnificent, something almost like a stromboli stuffed with all the delicious meat ingredients you can envision. The Norwich variety is stuffed about half as full and for whatever reason tastes as if it is 80% italian sausage. If you live close to both or if you're only familiar with Norwich, please, try Colchester. It is easily twice the quality. Keep up the great work!!“

“Our family stopped at Marlborough Pizza after being out and about and finding ourselves tired and hungry. We were blessed to get Olivia as a waitress. She was FABULOUS!! Our daughter has severe food allergies and she handled them with such care and professionalism, while also being friendly and funny. She even called the owner at home to inquire about ingredients in something (and he was helpful, too). We couldn't be more impressed or grateful! It's always nerve-wracking to go out to eat with a child with allergies. But Olivia and the entire staff at Marlborough Pizza made it easy and safe, while feeding us yummy food (it's always yummy there). All of the staff was so kind and helpful. You've got a great team there! Thank you so much!“
