I am not a huge pizza fan, but Marietta Pizza has other stuff that is worth checking out. Sold by the slice or by the pie, their pizzas are said to be incredible, including Vegi, Hawaiian, and white pizzas, as well as Strombolis and Calzones. The salads are huge and delicious, including Greek, Caesar and Blue Cheese. Beer and Wine is also served.
