Mark & Philly’s

I tried this local establishment for the first time tonight and had the Sicilian pie deluxe. An earlier review mentioned the pizza being greasy and I am afraid that I have to agree. This was not simply from the meat ingredients, but probably something with the dough or how much oil is used in the pan. The crust was just too heavy instead of crispy. Maybe the suggestion to order a half baked pie is the answer. I really wanted to like this place as I like Sicilian pie pizza style and I will probably give it another chance, but it was not an out of the park obvious «wow» experience.

They do take credit cards now, and yes there is dining in. Try the Sicilian pie, it’s awesome.

So so good! The best chicken and jo jo’s around. Pizza is greasy but good. If you don’t like greasy pizza then don’t try it. The chicken and jo jo’s are amazing!

Fiancé has been coming here for years. When relocated to Macedonia he still made the trip to order their wings. The owners are wonderful and friendly. Huge cleveland sports fans. I love the pizza and Jojo’s we share a salad all the cheese! They only take cash but who cares when the service and quality is so good?

Not sure what makes their Sicilian-​style pizza Sicilian, as it really is more reminiscent of a Chicago-​style deep dish. But hey, it sure is tasty! They could use a more updated sign, but the food is good!

Pizza was decent. Lady on the phone (owner, I’m guessing as she was the only one in the place when I picked up) was short and rude, and pretty much the same face to face. Also, they are pretty proud of their pizza, as their prices show.

Mark and phillies is our go to pizza shop in the Falls. The restaurant is family owned and the pizza best everything I’ve found in the area. Id recommend the Sicilian pizza with roasted garlic. My only recommendation for them is to add fresh Basil as a topping option. Give them a shot
Ps a previous review indicated that there was no were to eat in. This is no longer the case as there is an entire row of booths.

We live 2 blocks away and get take out regularly… there is no eat in.
They were closed between Christmas and New Years with no note on the door so we thought they may have gone out of business.
Hubby always orders the fish and french fries… we aren’t jo-​jo people but they have those too. The fish is not greasy and the pieces are large.
We get our pizza partially cooked and then finish it at home… they have a thick Sicilian option that didn’t seem cooked enough until we finished it our selves in our oven.
Salads are nothing to write home about. bread sticks are good, but the cheese whiz ‘cups’ that come with them are tiny.
Toasted Italian sub come with a good amount of meat by default but I order double cheese. They come with a small cup of Italian dressing so you can add as much or as little as you want.
Coupons come in a local flyer that comes in the mail once a month.

Mark and Philly’s makes lots of good sandwiches and pizza, but the very best thing is the Sicilian Pie, a pizza with a heavy layer of cheese on top. I’m back visiting Akron and had my first pie in a couple years tonight and it as good as when I lived here, There is nothing like it anywhere.
