    This is a little piece of Marshalltown history. The pizza is delicious! Seriously I've eaten pizza all over the country and this is probably one of the best. And it's been around for years and has a really smooth atmosphere to it. So much cheese on a pizza! And the sauce is on point. I will be back.

    Zeno's has always held a special place for my family and in my heart. Local, fresh and family owned. We always order the Bavarian and zenos special. They never disappoint. This is transcendental iowan pizza experience and the ambiance is a blast from the past. They are a family tradition and a marshmallow staple. That one particular gas station could learn a few things.

    Great pizza, great customer service, wonderful ambiance. I ate the funky chicken pizza and it was delicious. Lots of space for big party's. No kids menu. They do offer a gluten free crust.

    They were shorthanded and they were busy. Bad combination. Otherwise, my favorite pizza - hamburger, mushroom, double cheese pizza from Zeno's! My sister needs gluten free - they've got it and she's says its the best she's eaten.

    Best place to grab pizza in Marshalltown, if you like taco salads and whatnot, get the taco pizza. It is topped woth tomato, lettuce, ground beef, crushed up nacho chips, and they give you taco sauce and sour cream to put on top aswell.

    Reminds me of when I was growing up in Marshalltown! The taco pizza is like no other, anywhere! No joke, it's about an inch thick (or more) on a thin crispy crust.

    It's a huge place... a cool 70s decor/vibe... awesome food... the pizzas we had were excellent... a very good salad, lots of mixed greens... the place was super busy but we still had super good service...you need to go there!

    Great food, service and staff. Even though we had a small issue with our order, they corrected it asap. Great visit!

    It's not worth your time it's gone off a cliff, the same atmosphere as it was in the 60s, but the worst pizza we have had in years. I'm not sure what that so-called sauce is. Can't find the meat under the mass if cheese. If you're returning to marshalltown and want to have a taste of the days of school and want a good pizza, think Casey's Pizza.

    Hands down the best pizza in Marshalltown, Iowa. What I also love is the big meeting rooms. I had my 18 year old's graduation party there. Everyone had a great time, the waitress was amazing too.!

    Great pizza establishment in Marshalltown that has been around for decades. Service was fast and friendly. The waiter or waitress leaves a small placard with their name, and our waiter (Tim) checked back often. We had the cheese bread as an appetizer...soft hot pizza dough with a garlic butter sauce and provolone cheese. It was delicious and the perfect start to the meal. My wife and I did a half all veggie, BBQ brisket pizza. The veggie side was loaded with fresh veggies and (despite my best intentions to not try it) was very good. The BBQ brisket side was excellent...i was afraid the sauce base would be BBQ, thus making the BBQ too overwhelming. The sauce was Zeno's delicious red italian puzza sauce, and the BBQ was a sirracha BBQ that was drizzled on top. Perfect combination in my opinion, and it was great. I think the brisket (thin sliced) was pre-packaged...I am not sure so if that is important to you, be sure to ask. It was good nonetheless. The pizza crust and sauce though...that made the pizza. The crust was thin and crispy the whole way through, and the pizza sauce was applied generously, but not so much that the toppings slide off. Great experience all around. My wife and I got a medium pizza and between it and the cheese bread we had leftovers. Atmosphere was old-timey but really clean. The wooden booths looked like something out of an old restaurant, but were pretty cool. Would recommend this to anyone (look up the hours, they are only open for dinner).
