This restaurant
opened up in the Iowa River Landing district in Coralville, Iowa. The pizza - 100% naturally leavened
dough, housemade mozzarella, & high-quality ingredients cooked at 900
degrees in an all wood fired oven from Modena, Italy.
The
bar - expansive, 20 beers on draft, over 15 wine options. House
cocktails. Open late night. 2 for 1 happy hour everyday 3-6pm.
The
vibe - backyard pizza party. Garage door goes up when the weather is awesome.

| Venue |
Inspired
by a backyard get together with friends and family, we wanted Marquee to be
both fun and welcoming. If an upbeat vibe, sharing food, a full
bar, and eating with your hands sounds fun., come party.

The Verdict
Sauce:
The sauce had a great flavor to these pies, they knocked this out of the park
Cheese:
The cheese was consistent and fresh!

Crust:
Thin but bready on the edges.
Toppings:
The toppings were moderate which made the pizza a bit soggy.
Final
Comments/Considerations: Marquee pizza has a great beer and pizza selection that
ranks highly in my book. The topping are
fresh and they are going for a Napoli style with much success. Eating their pizza warm is KEY, otherwise it
can be wet and slimy if it cools. Although
I liked Bastas better, take some time out of your day and try it out,
