Food (8.1 out of 10)
mentioned by 92% of the guests
When it comes to the food, diners are generally thrilled, with a strong 8.1 score and 81.2% customer satisfaction, both indicating a good experience. Based on 56 positive remarks, many rave about the mouthwatering experience and fresh ingredients, praising the perfectly baked crust and the passion for flavor evident in every bite. However, not every dish hits the mark.
A smaller number of 9 comments point to some areas needing improvement, specifically mentioning mozzarella sticks that taste like cardboard, marinara described as bland, and garlic cheese bread that was atrocious. There's also a concerning mention of moldy bread.

- pizzaI've been eating pizza from Marcelo's for 8 years and I can say they have very great delicious pizza in the city! I much like their Palestine pizza.
- crustMy experience at this restaurant was exceptional, centered around the best pizza I have ever had. The pizza featured an incredible dough and an amazing crust that truly elevated the entire experience. The crust was perfectly baked, offering a delightful crunch on the outside and a soft, chewy texture on the inside.

Ambience (6.4 out of 10)
mentioned by 31% of the guests
When it comes to the vibe, many guests really appreciate the atmosphere, with some even giving it a perfect 5 out of 5. Its a real lifesaver for those late-night cravings, staying open well past 2 AM, and even boasts some lovely outside seating. Theyre also great at handling spontaneous celebrations, like a birthday party! These positive experiences, accounting for 6 out of 10 total remarks, contribute to an average score of 6.4.
However, not everyone is thrilled. Some found the atmosphere to be quite challenging, describing the place as tiny, dirty, and feeling like a bathroom stall. The biggest dealbreaker for many was the complete lack of a restroom available.
These 3 negative comments out of 10 total certainly contribute to a mixed customer satisfaction of 60%, indicating there's definitely room for improvement.

If youre looking for a quick, late-night bite with some outdoor seating and a generally good vibe, especially for an impromptu celebration, this spot could work. However, be prepared for a potentially cramped and dirty space, and definitely plan ahead as theres no restroom available. It's a mixed bag, so manage your expectations.

So, is the value here worth it? Its a bit of a gamble. While some find the prices quite reasonable, others have faced frustrating payment issues and felt overcharged.
If youre looking for straightforward affordability, you might find it, but be wary of potential hidden costs or unexpected charges.

Pizzalicious-Castro: Order Disaster
My experience at Pizzalicious-Castro was extremely negative. I attempted to place a future order on their website, and they charged my account the full amount. On the day of my community event, they promised delivery between 5: 30 and 5: 40 pm, but the pizzas never arrived.
When I called them, despite having an emailed receipt, they claimed they never received the order and offered no resolutions. This was a complete failure in service and order accuracy.

Great Pizza, Awful Atmosphere & Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The pizza itself was the highlight, with the crust being particularly noteworthy and much better than the toppings. However, the dining environment felt incredibly cramped and claustrophobic, more like a bathroom stall than a dining area.
The service was also a significant letdown; the cashier was unfriendly and spoke loudly in his native tongue, even talking over another customer. I'd recommend bringing a friend, but be prepared for a tight squeeze.

Double Charged and Overpriced Pizza
My experience at this restaurant was quite negative due to billing issues and inflated prices. We initially paid online, but then were charged again in person. To make matters worse, they significantly upcharged the pizza the second time.
When we requested a refund for one of the charges, it was refused. Consequently, we ended up spending $85 for a single extra-large pizza, which felt like a complete rip-off.

Delicious Pizza and Crepes, Friendly Service!
My first experience at this restaurant was fantastic, and I will definitely be returning. We ordered the pepperoni, Hawaiian, and combo pizza, all of which were excellent. The service was both fast and friendly.
I would also highly recommend trying their Nutella & Strawberry crepes. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Overall, a 5/5 experience!
