Attempt #5 - Naso's

The Sicilian pizza

The Venue

453 7th Avenue,

Marion, IA

Pepperoni pizza

Although this pizza is thin (as I’ve noticed this is how a lot of Iowans prefer their pizzas), the price is very reasonable on Tuesday nights.  I would suggest going then and giving it a try before committing to the full price.  From my personal preference as a thick crust kind-of-guy, I would look elsewhere.
