Martolli's Hand Tossed Pizza Plaza

Nope...they missed it. If you've read my many other pizza reviews you know that crust is king in my view and the crust here was just fair. The space was typical pizza parlor but not all that nice or appealing to me. They had a theme which was interesting, but space was was just not that appealing. The staff were mostly youngsters just doing a job which is fine, but I did not get a sense that there was anyone there who truly was super passionate about making the best pizza possible. They were kind and helpful, but I did not see the passion...which is ok for good, but won't get you to amazing...if that is what you are hoping for. The approach to toppings for a margarita pizza were not my favorites lots of cut tomatoes on top of a cheese pizza (see photo). There is a better approach in my opinion, but it's just my opinion. The crust was the biggest lacking element, it needs a lot of work to get it to a higher level. This was a very basic crust you could make at home in an hour with no proofing or fermenting. Excellent crust is difficult and takes a long time, but if your business is pizza, make it the best and take the time. I'm hoping these folks will up their game and get passionate about having the best pizza in Ashland. Pie and Vine up the street is a better option in my option at this time.

The calzone was very tasty! But the service... I walk up and stand in line to pick up my order. The girl at the counter literally looks at me, turns around, grabs a slice and walks into the back. It takes a few moments and someone else comes from the back, looks around and through me, almost turns to go .. and I state... I'm just here to pick up my order. I'm pretty sure I'm not invisible, and it was the only order waiting.

Horrible service, pretentious teenagers working here that have no perception of being helpful or good service. But is a pretty good NY style pizza.

Whenever we're in town Martolli's is a must stop for a couple of slices as we walk around town. There's always an excellent selection, the service is friendly and the pizza is warmed up perfectly. The crust is cooked with care and the pizza has that perfect NY style and taste.

Didn't dine in, but if you have lots of hungry kids that love pizza, this is the place. Lots of seating, has AC and pizza is always good.
