Tower Square Pizza — Restaurant in Marion

Visit on 06/18/24 at around 2 pm. Haven’t made it here for about a year and a half, so I wanted to check out the quality to see if anything had changed, good or bad. Well, I’m happy to say that the high quality is still consistent with my last happy visit—the pizza was excellent! I ordered a sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, and black olive thin crust pizza off the menu with nothing extra, and it was one tasty pie.

Let’s start with the stage and talk about crust: they use pre-made cracker-thin crust, but it tasted fresh, was nicely crispy, not chewy whatsoever, and held up to picking up pie slices by hand! Usually pizza with crust this thin has to be square-cut because the crust is all bendy and cracks from the weight of the toppings (or it doesn’t have much in the way of toppings); not this crust! Granted, it wasn’t loaded down like other places I’ve visited, but the toppings weren’t skimpy by any means; but I digress 😁 This crust was crisped to golden-brown perfection on the bottom. No remnants of burnt crust or burnt cheese stuck to it, no cornmeal, just a delightful and tasty crust.

On to the sauce: quite savory not sweet (which I prefer), heavy on oregano, rich tomato flavor, perfectly seasoned, and the right amount on the pizza so you can taste it in every bite, but it doesn’t overpower the crust and toppings.

Speaking of toppings, it had the right amount of everything; just a perfectly balanced pizza. Delicious sausage with a whisper of fennel. Large slices of canned mushroom (my preference), and the black olives tasted clean and totally free of the odd, metallic taste that some brands have. Pepperoni was nicely seasoned so it had great flavor, not too salty or greasy, with a crisped edge here and there which I thought was ideal—I don’t want my pepperoni unseasoned and cooked until it’s like crispy bacon because what’s the point? And LOTS of mozzarella cheese for such a thin pizza. Some places would call it extra cheese and charge more for it, but this is the standard at Tower Pizza.

Overall, I’d give this pizza 9.5/10 ✈️ , definitely in the top 10 thin crust pizzas I’ve eaten. Get ya some!!

My first and probably only experience: Being a new customer, I wanted to try the pizza dressed with my favorite topping combo so I ordered a personal pizza for dine in instead of buffet. This was a mistake. It was a Friday dinner rush so I knew they were busy so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited 45 minutes before I asked about my order. I was then told they had accidentally put our order on the buffet and would cook another one. I understand, the cook got confused and assumed no box meant buffet because everyone there ordered buffet so it's probably not the norm for a dine in special order. My issue was no one told us about this and had I not asked we probably would've waited over an hour for our pizza. I told her we would do buffet instead because I didn't have the time to wait for another pizza. 3 slices of my special order was still left on the buffet and I ate it. It was ok, topping quantity was weak, it was a little too greasy but overall it was an ok pizza. Then I was excited because since we now have buffet we can try the dessert pizza! Well... It was MIA, after asking they said it was still cooking it. 20 minutes later, near 7pm on a Friday dinner rush, still no dessert pizza out so we left. I definitely feel like a got ripped off and it was obvious the crew could care less about the quality of...

We had the pizza buffet. Everything had good flavor. It was well stocked with a variety of different pizzas. They kept it fresh and changed different variations of toppings. Pasta dish and breadsticks on buffet. Small salad bar with various choices. They asked if there was any specific pizza we wanted. They were friendly and fast. You can clear your table or wait for them to do it. We cleared ours after each plate. It is mostly self serv buffet. Fill your drink at the soda dispenser. They do have a menu if you want to order your own food. Dine in. Pickup and delivery are available. Small meeting room also available. It was not busy at the time we went. Five adults and three kids in our party. One high chair was used. We have had carryout and buffet on multiple occasions. We will return.

We returned with the same result. All is well. Very good pizza. There was chicken and dumplings this time. It was very good.

Another visit...Still a very good pizza place. Chili also on...
