Marri's Pizza & Italian Restaurant

Was at a conference at the nearby Anaheim convention looking to celebrate my birthday with friends at a local restaurant nearby and had researched Marri's and found good reviews. The walk and visit were well worth it. We arrived to a bustling restaurant but were seated in about 15 minutes without a reservation. Giuliana was our waitress and gave us some suggestions which we followed. She was great! Our group had:A bottle of MalbecMinestrone soupFried CalamariChicken PiccataLasagnaTour of Italy (fettuccine Alfredo, ravioli and lasagna)A small pizza with everything on it (I forget the name on the menu)Cannoli We loved all of our choices and our food! The minestrone was perfectly executed and my friends scarfed up their calamari leaving nothing behind. The mains were all hugely portioned (there were leftovers) but again well executed from an establishment that has existed longer than my life (I was celebrating my 53rd birthday). The piccata was completely gone and my friend devoured 2/3 or his Tour taking his lasagna portion home. Halves of the solely lasagna order and the pizza also went home simply because the portions were all so generous. The food was what we imagined and expected and craved from a local American Italian spot and Marri's nailed it and hit it out of the park. One of our party has a Mouseland pass and she's definitely coming back as a perfect dining alternative for her park visits and it definitely makes the recommendation cut for future convention center visits for all of us!Thank you Marri's and Giuliana for giving us an outstanding local dining experience in Anaheim!

I only been here once with some co-workers who said the pizza is really cheesy and good.So I decided to take my mom here who loves Cheese. We got seated right away and I love the cozyness of the place.We order a medium 2 topping pizza and I got angel hair pasta with meat sauce and 2 meat balls.First we got the salad. Huge bowl of salad that could feed 3 or 4 people. It was really good. It was chopped and had tiny cubed crotons. Plenty of salad dressing as well. Ice cold chilled plates to serve them on. Those are the details I like.The pizza comes and it is thick with cheese. Oh my goodness. This pizza was amazing. Thick layer of cheese and tons of toppings layered underneath. The crust was perfect, good flavor and crispy.The Spaghetti was amazing. The meat sauce was divine, the might balls were ok, not amazing but pretty good. They also give you garlic bread. The garlic bread was insanely good. It was soft and had a nice layer of butter on top. Went so well with that meat sauce. Also the portion was huge. You can split this between 2 or even 3 people.They have amazing beer and wine. I got 2 beers, served ICE cold in a frosty glass with perfect head. It stayed ice cold until the last drop.Service was amazing. We had the best server. She was so sweet and even packed the left overs for us. I loved that. Got us a little baggy and even asked if we wanted some cheese and peppers to go. I mean that's so thoughtful.Just a disclaimer to the management if they are reading this. The % for tip did not match what was said on the receipt. We calculated the 20% and it was more then the receipt said. I really hope these ladies are getting the correct tip amounts. I would double check on this. And I advise the servers start double checking the tip% numbers at the bottom just incase.Other than that, the parking is a nightmare. We got extremely lucky and got a spot as someone was pulling out. So plan ahead and you might need to circle in and out of the lot a few times.Great Italian food, Amazing Beer and Wine, Wonderful Service. 5/5 stars.

This place gets constantly hyped by people in Long Beach, especially in the food group on Facebook. I like to support small businesses, and was interested in the fact they have been around since the '60's, so I ordered a pizza and took the drive over. It's in an old school shopping plaza and has a funky design with no windows in front. I went inside, and it definitely had that 60's/70's pizzeria vibe, which I appreciate. And that's where the positives end.I was the only customer there, and there was an older woman out front when I arrived. She took her sweet time acknowledging me, although I could see my order sitting right in front. She finally grumpily approaches, and barks, "Yes?" I politely asked for my order. At that moment, an older man came in. Instead of saying, "I'll be right with you, sir", she completely ignored me and started helping him instead! I don't remember the last time I was blatantly treated so rudely in a restaurant. I don't know if she was sexist, or hates women who are younger than her, or just hates her job/life, but I should have left the pizza and walked! My mistake! So after the man was helped and left, this woman FINALLY lowered herself to help me, and she said, "Have a blessed day sweetie!" What a joke. You know what else was a joke? The pizza. Seasoning exists, try using it. The sausage had some disgusting grit in it, and I was left with an upset stomach. Flavorless, flabby trash pizza. And that's exactly where the rest of it went- right in the garbage. The '60's are long gone, and it's time for this place to be gone, too.

Average Italian comfort food prepared by non-Italians but served in a comfortable and friendly neighborhood eatery. The layout of the restaurant is interesting, and feels more like a maze than the traditional open layout. Many booths are situated on a platform, which may restrict access for some patrons with mobility issue.The salad was fresh and the pizza toppings were plentiful, but there wasn't anything special about the taste. The crust was thick, but it bothered my wife more than me.For the quantity of food, it represents an economical way to satiate your hunger.

That waitress. The one with the dark hair, knowing eyes and cheeky smile...man, she's got it goin' on....the perfect front person for this establishment that's been feeding people fresh, homemade everything since nineteen fifty freakin' seven. That's a looong time to perfect things. And things here are perfect. It was our first time. THAT waitress says to us: "Listen, since you've never been here before, I am HIGHLY recommending two things: split a sandwich and a pizza. They are the best around. The sauces here are all homemade. The meats we serve are the best, bar none." I'm leaving that a recommendation for you, Yelp Reader...I SO wish we could've done those things but it was lunch and we were both working that night and needed to eat light. NEXT TIME, we are there. What we had (which was ridiculously good):JUICY HAZY IPACOKESTEAMED SEASONED VEGETABLESSIDE MEATBALLSSIDE SAUSAGESThe meatballs were DENSE! Thick, beefy and seasoned to perfection. And, the sausage was tender and delicious beyond compare. Absolutely loved those garden vegetables - they did them up right. To THAT waitress, whoever you are, WE HEAR YOU! Marri's truly rocks. See you soon, sistah'!

This is for their pizza. I had it a long time ago with a friend but after trying it again. I can safely add Marri's to my pizza lineup. Perfect crisp. Plenty of ingredients. Not bad for one person to enjoy and be full. Happy to grab another and take it down the way.

Customer service was quick and great.The chicken parm was crispy and not soggy as if it had been sitting out a while, so I really appreciate that.And the cheese pull from the mozarella sticks was amazing. Minus one star for using cleaner at the adjacent tables while we were eating. I'd rather have a damp cloth used because the strong chemical scent of the spray did interfere with my enjoyment of the food. If anything, use that cleaner/spray when ending the day and closing up shop? Otherwise, it was a pretty good dining experience!

Wanted to try a new Italian spot in the City so dropped by Marri's. Very old school feel to the place with deep roots. Family or guest photos around the place and friendly staff all around. Service to be seated was quick & our waitress was polite. Meatball plate was delicious! Chicken liking plate was cooked good but the sauce/flavor was very very strong but I suppose if you LOVE lemon, this may be the dish for you. The only two con I have for this place was the wait and parking. From the time we were seated it took roughly 40 minutes before our food came out & when it came to parking there is a very small lot for the amount of store fronts. We had to circle around a few times before seeing someone leave for us to park.

It gets the job done and is affordable. Standard Italian fare at a fair price.The pizza crust was giving me middle school cafeteria vibes, which can either be a good or a bad thing depending on the person. It is not a sophisticated or unique experience. Lots of cheese, run-of-the-mill Italian food. Serving size is quite generous and prices are great for what you get.Service is bad. Very slow and inattentive. We were there at 5:30pm on a Tuesday. Took 20 min to get drinks out to us and 45 min for our food. We had to keep walking around the corner to ask for this or that. There are some large blind spots in the restaurant and they can easily sit you off in some corner and forget about you. They seem to focus on their take out orders and focus their energy there. If we ate here again, I would get it to go. I would definitely not dine in again.

I got a supreme pizza and it wasn't cooked all the way. It wasn't very good, I would recommend something else. The resultant had a funny smell and didn't seem very clean. The service was good, so I gave it an average rating.
