Marotta’s Towne Pizza

Great Pizza spot on Carman Rd, right off the highway on my way home from work. Pizza is excellent and so are the wings, I like them hot and crispy and these wings didn’t disappoint. Staff were pleasant and the owner Frank was very nice and helpful with suggestions. I’ll be stopping in again, definitely recommend!

Catering quality, and volume, of food were outstanding. We ordered trays of chicken parm, ziti, and chicken Caeser salad. Guests loved the food and we had lots of leftovers. Frank, our contact for order and pickup, was a delight. He actually asked that I let him know how everything was sometime after the party. Would order again and recommend to anyone.

Decided to give Marottas a second try. I was pleasantly surprised how much better my buffalo chicken pizza was this time. It was very good and with generous amount of chicken on it. I will definitely be back.

Great stop while on the road. Pizza was delicious and reminded me of New York. And super nice guy who runs the place.

After having a slice of their cheese pizza, I was completely disgusted. It tasted like Kraft cheese melted on bread, no flavor at all.
Hoping their sauce had some type of seasoning/​spices, nothing. Coming from an Italian family running this establishment I excepted better quality and not cheap canned sauce.
The price is outrageous when it comes to the cheap ingredients use.
My advice is to check out the other pizzerias around Rotteredam and the city of Schenectady that have FLAVOR. Maybe one day, when you dare to experiment with your food a bit, I can taste an actual meal.

I hadn’t been to Marotta’s since they opened about 10 months ago. My first experience there was… not the best (See my other review).
The other day, out of the blue, I got a message (right here on Unilocal) from Frank, who had just joined the ownership of the pizzeria. He’d seen my review, and expressed how sorry he was that things had not gone well. He offered me a gift certificate, and I accepted. It arrived in the mail today, and tonight my family and I placed an order for pickup — three pizzas and three sides. I was told it’d be ready in 30 minutes.
I arrived right on time. Seemed pretty slow for a Friday night. I walked in, and was greeted by the friendly young woman behind the counter. I told her that I was picking up, told her my name, and told her that I had a coupon ($ 20 off!!). She brought my stuff right out. I paid, and was on my way.
When I got home, we all dug in. The pizza is good. It’s not the best I’ve ever had, but it’s far from the worst. Two small pies for the kids: One plain cheese, and one white w/​half olives. My wife and I got a medium white broccoli with sausage and tomatoes. We also got an order of boneless wings (medium) and some fried ravioli. The fried ravioli were a little spicy for my kids (um…not a problem, children. Let me just help you out, there. :)).
We were half-​done when my daughter said, «Hey, didn’t you order garlic knots?» Oh no. I went out to the car to make sure that I hadn’t accidentally left them out there. They weren’t there.
I called up Marotta’s to tell them, and they apologized, and told me that they could either have them delivered or give me a credit for next time. I had them bring them out.
The great thing about this place is that they’re pretty close to my house, and Frank himself drove the garlic knots over, and arrived before we were finished eating. He apologized again, and I told him not to worry about it. It was cool of him to drive them over himself. He’s seems like a really nice guy.
I’ll almost certainly be ordering from them again, not only because they’re super-​convenient for me, but because they seem to have gotten a lot of the wrinkles ironed out, and the missing garlic knots are far from a dealbreaker. Seriously, if I had a nickel for every time I’ve come home from some place with a missing side order, side of fries, bag of chips, or drink, I’d be a rich man.
The thing I’m happy about is that Frank made things right. Twice.

Awesome pizza, wonderful staff! Great meal every time… Try it out!

Food is edible but so inconsistent. I have eaten here three times now. Let me say that Marotta’s in Schenectady by Watt St. is delicious. I was hoping it would be the same since it is the same owners however it is nothing like it. We even spoke to the owner and voiced out concern last time. The boneless wings were delicious the first day. The very next day we ordered again and they were nothing like the day before. First day they were coated and the next day battered, so weird. Needless to say not ordering that again. The pizza at the watt at location is thin and crispy and delicious like a NY slice. However, this is the third time ordering pizza and specifically asking for it to be thin and crispy. The dough is thick and spongy, more like a Greek pizza. Unfortunately, I won’t be ordering from this location again :(

My family was in the mood for some wings today and decided to give this place a try. When I order wings I like them to be well done and saucy. I requested this and they delivered. The wings were nice and meaty. We were very happy with our purchase. While I was in there I looked over the pizza in the case and it looked pretty good. We will be back to give that a try too.
