Marinara Pizza Upper West

The pizza was okay but nothing special. The crust was a bit overcooked and dry, which took away from the overall taste. Another downside was the lack of price tags in front of each pizza, making it a bit confusing when ordering. At $6 per slice, it felt overpriced—even by New York standards. For that price, I expected something more flavorful and fresh. Would I go back? Probably not, especially with so many better pizza spots in the city.

The pizza is just ok, lacking flavor and just not made with any love. Very basic slice. The mvp chicken sandwich was boring too

Their cauliflower crust pizza (grilled chicken/pesto and we add artichokes) is fabulous!
There is no atmosphere - we always get our pizza to eat at home. Great way to ease the cooking burden mid-week!

Vegetarian options: I am not vegetarian, but I always notice when there are good vegetarian options because I know so many people who emphasize vegetables in their food plan.

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten sensitive - LOVE the cauliflower crust pizza.

Now, my review is not necessarily on the food. The food is amazing, and my son really loves it. However, I will tell you about this pizzeria. The first time I went in with my son, I was going to sit with him inside, but I was being glanced at and didn’t feel comfortable. We took the pizza with us when we got to our apartment. The pizza was cold. The guy must’ve put the pizza in for two seconds and given it back to me, as if he wanted me out of his store. When we walked in, I almost laughed inside because the guy behind the counter looked so scared when he saw people of color coming into the pizzeria. That probably explains the fact that he gave me the pizza back so fast and cold. So as we were exiting, one of the door-dash bikers yelled at my son and told him to close the door behind him. My son was holding the door for an elderly man. I was walking right in front of him. As a person of color, you never feel welcome in this pizzeria at all. I see how they treat other customers, and it’s not the same treatment they give to people of color. Believe me when I tell you, I am a woman of color. Now I spoke to the manager, and I’ve expressed to him how rude his delivery guy is, and he reassured me that I had nothing to do at the store because these are outside contractors. I also expressed to him how rude the delivery guy was to my son, yet nothing was done because my son pointed out the guy and I saw him at the store. Again, please reassure you that I warned the manager about my experience, and he again stated, "We are not racist." I was going to write about my experience in a review; if nothing was done, apparently they didn’t take me seriously, so here we are now. Again, as I mentioned, the food is phenomenal, but if you want to get hit with discrimination with people who apparently live in New York, I’ve never seen people of color being rushed when they enter the store, I love to support my local businesses, and when I attend my community meetings, I always bring up to please support small, however, I will have to pass on this one. I’ve told my son a number of times we can go anywhere else; there’s 1 million pizzerias in New York, but because he really likes this pizza, he always orders, and I order ahead of time because I know that they’re actually going to do a good job. If I go in person, they gonna see what I look like and do a bad job handing me cold pizzeria to rush me out.

We ate very well for not too much money.
Unpretentious but the pizzas are good, with thin crust.

Pizza is consistently great. Try the bbq chicken that’s my favorite. Service is good, too, the workers are friendly to my kid and me. Tip your pizza man/woman.

I loved the MVP Pizza and Bruschetta pizza. The margherita and white pizza are good as well. The crusts are thin and crispy. Very tasty pizza.

I ordered the pesto pasta and got a side of garlic bread. It was only okay they didn’t use cream in the pesto sauce so it was kind of bland, I was really excited for it so it was as disappointing. The garlic bread didn’t taste great I preferred the plain bread rolls that came with the meal. You can get better pasta at many other places nearby.
