This is pizza before pizza got all fancy.
Marie's Pizza & Liquors effortlessly zaps you back to the 1950s with charming waitstaff, jazz trios entertaining, Italian beef and salads plus tavern style pizzas with a cracker-thin crust and an easy price tag. The fact that you can buy a bottle of grapes at the liquor store and have it with your pizza is a plus. Seven decades on the northwest side and employees working there for 20-30 years means Marie's must be doing the pizza business right. Not to mention that in the 21st century, you can get a large Marie's Special - sausage, green pepper, onion and mushroom on a cracker thin and crispy crust for $20.
Come out on a Thursday for live jazz and martinis for a way-too-easy $5.50. Marie's has a parking lot and there's street parking, too.
