👍👍 Under new ownership, and you can tell a difference. Marchellonis was a forgotten pizza place for me after being one of my 90s favorites. It tastes like the new owners got a hold of the original recipe and brought it back. Been eating from the Barney location once a week since the resurgence. The bee...

    The new owners that just took over are utilizing the ORIGINAL Marchelloni pan pizza dough recipe and you can tell, immediately...Delicious & brings me back to my childhood in Joliet. Perhaps, I am biased as these are my little brothers but the Leasure family sure does know pizza <3 Keep it up, boys! P.S. Unfortunately, can't get rid of these old google reviews(anything prior to September 2022 is old) so please leave reviews so we can help get their rating up :)

    Art is the most genuine selfless person I've ever met. We got pizza for the family for my children's birthdays. It was delicious and my children loved it! From joliet to minooka it was amazing. My kids and I gave it 2 thumbs up and even sent him a picture for proof!

    The Slice driver left my order on my porch. No doorbell, or knock on the door. When I contacted Marchelloni they replaced the ice cold pizza. Definitely a first class place. Next time I'll call them instead of on line order. Definitely will be ordering again. Thank you for correcting the problem.

    First time having their beef rolls and pizza in years, and it was an amazing trip down memory lane. Both the pizza and beef rolls were some of the best I’ve had in quite some time.

    I like Marchelloni pizza, so we stopped to get one as we were driving through yesterday. The thin crust pepperoni and onion pizza had the best caramelized crust all around. It was one of the best thin crust pizzas I've had anywhere.

    Marchelloni Pizzas is back! For years this was my favorite pizza until a number of years ago it changed. Thank you to the new owners. It is now every bit as good as it used to be!

    Saw an article on google local news feed that this establishment had new owners and were trying to better their name due to poor customer satisfaction from the old owners. So I thought I’d give them a try and help support local business. Growing up in Berwyn/Cicero area, I had some of the best pizza around (imo), so that’s what I’m always comparing new pizza places to. I called to place an order for a pan pizza with extra sauce and cheese and had called 5 min before they opened. I got through on the second ring and placed my order with who I think was one of the owners. Very friendly on the phone. Said he’d have in ready in 20 min. It’s easy to pass the place up if you’ve never picked up from their. The store is actually connected to white fence farm, so it’s all one building. I totally missed the sign they have, so they are not invisible in any way. Picked up my pie with a friendly greeting and at a very fair price! The pan pizza was good. Typical light buttery crust, not soggy at all. Sauce was good. Good authentic taste. Cheese was good with no grease. I would rate my first experience with 3.8 stars. A little better than average. Pros for me were pricing and size of pizza, I got the 16”. I will for sure try them again and order a thin crust next time. Satisfied and happy new customer here.

    Good customer service. My pizza was burnt plus my garlic bread with cheese. They replaced my whole order and i didn't have any issues with the replacement food. Thanks!

    Whenever I go to white fence farm to get overpriced midget chicken, Google maps thinks I went to this place. I did once walk into their door by mistake and the people are very nice and it was clean and smelled good. One day I will try their pizza, it is just not one we think of.

    The pan pizza is great. Sauce is on point and the thin crust was good. Both pizzas we got were finished that night.

    Even the website say open on a Sunday but the facility is closed Edit: replying to the response. I did not call, I went to the facility. I came from Chicago driving lyft dropping someone off and just wanted a slice before I hit the road back. The lights were off, the door was locked and the pizza utensils were on the counter. If you have cameras please check them, I peaked inside the chicken spot to confirm they were 2 separate businesses.

    I didn't know that they were still open around here until I saw them on a YouTube video of someone I watched from Joliet. (CJ on 32's) I had not had their pizza in years! I had to have some after seeing it. They did not disappoint. Real good pizza , and the beef roll is fantastic. Service was fast and friendly! I will be back! One problem is the signage. I passed the place up looking for it. I think it's just faded. Easy fix, though. Thanks for the friendly service. 👍🏽

    When ordering my pizza I misspoke and got the wrong one ordered. They remade my pizza, and brought it out to my car when they saw me pull up! I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you so much oh and the pizza was DELICIOUS!

    For some reason, today I had a craving for this pizza. I hadn't eaten here in 20 plus years, and the cheese bread nuggets are just like I remember them from when I used to make them myself when I worked at the one in the little plaza by the laundry mat in the 90s. But what was even cooler than the yummy food was the sweet and adorable young lady working. She totally made my week just by being so kind and awesome! You have a great person working there, and I hope she realizes how cool she is! 😃

    Haven't been dissapointed since the ownership changed. Food has been ready in 20 minutes every time and hot. Would recommend this location over Crest Hill based on the taste. It's different ingredients for sure, reminds me of when I was a kid and we'd order. Really nice touch on Halloween. This was funny! I wonder who caught it.

    Marchelloni’s pizza has been a favorite for years and I recently read that they were under new ownership. I decided to give this location a try yesterday & placed an order using the Slice website. When I arrived, my food was ready and packaged neatly. The restaurant was clean & the service was good. We really enjoyed the pizza & beef roll and I’m glad that Marchelloni’s is still around! Support this place!!!

    Ordered pizza and dough nuggets for myself and my kids last night for dinner. The pizza was okay, a little overcooked in my opinion, but the dough nuggets were so terrible we couldn’t even eat them! They were cold, hard as a rock, very dark(almost burned), and just so covered in salt and seasonings that they were inedible. I made a complaint with Slice because that is where I ordered it off of online and they contacted Marchelloni’s who said that they would do nothing about our order because it was fine when it left their establishment. Very disappointing especially since it’s not often we’re able to order food out. Being a single mother of two with no help there just aren’t the extra funds to be able to order food out often, so when we do it’s like a treat for us, but then to not even be able to eat half of what we ordered just sucks!

    The pizza is very good but this place in the joliet il location is Almost never open and when open they never answer the phones and they say there open from 3pm-8pm almost all week except for 2 day out of the week and evertime we call to order some times like 2 hour before closing time they no longer taking orders deliver or pick up and the majority of the time they say they send there deliver driver home already. Bad service for me I give it 1 star and 2 👎

    Fresh and hot pizza! Nice people! Decent prices! Overall great service!

  • 1/5 Ashleigh D. 1 year ago on Google
    Placed an order through Grubhub for a 12” pan cheese pizza and piece of chocolate cake. The dough was mostly raw and they gave me cookies instead of cake. I never leave reviews, but this was the worst pizza I’ve ever ordered and completely inedible. I had to throw the entire order in the trash.

  • 2/5 Kal El 1. 2 years ago on Google
    Every time we order ,and I'm not exaggerating, our order is wrong in some way. Its either raw or missing something. The fine lady who use to run this place ran a great business. The owners that bought it from her 5-6 years ago are horrible.

  • 1/5 Rachael H. 2 years ago on Google
    2 of the pizzas came burnt. The tiny one for the kid was black and she wouldn't eat it. The dough nuggets were almost raw and chewy. Not happy. The beef roll was mostly dough with almost no beef in it. Waste of $60....

  • 1/5 Monique B. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered 2 small pizzas and wings, wait was 20 mins. Came from work which is 20 mins, was told 5 more minutes only to wait 30 minutes. One person is working, the place is absolutely hot and disgusting looking inside. I would just close the place down for that amount of rent. The pizzas were flavorless and the crust was undercooked. The wings were supposed to be hot wings and just tasted like flavorless chicken wings. Never again

    The delivery from Slice was fine. The large beef roll was terrible. Most of it went in the garbage. The crust was extremely hard and unedible in over half of it. Not enough beef or peppers. Not sure if crust was old or what because it wasn't burned. Very disappointed. I had their beef rolls years ago and they were very good.
