Almost passed up this restaurant! Glad I didn't! Marie's is best known for their pizza, but they have other healthy Italian options. Come here HUNGARY! The food is made fresh with generous helpings. You'll go home leftovers. I had a Reuben and only ate half a sandwich. DO NOT pass this up if your coming through NE OHio. Worth the drive! I'll be ordering take out for sure!
