Due to COVID-19, our Pizza Attempts has been on pause as the pandemic has raged across the world; however, we are glad to be back!  Your Pie has been established in Marion, Iowa since August of 2020.  A chain, mostly based on the south eastern part of the United States, this restaurant provides a quick, oven fired pizza with an affordable price tag of $8.99, plus $3 to add in a pop and a gelato or brownie.

Venue-Topping Selection Bar

The services was great, and the waitstaff was helpful.  The facility was new, and very clean, brightly planted whites, with table and booth seating.  Around the back, there is an outdoor cement dining patio, which is sunny, but great for small kids, since they are fenced in that area.

The Verdict

Sauce: Decent. 
Cheese: Fresh mozzarella cheese paired well with most pizzas. 

BBQ Chicken

The Great White had a bit too much for my liking.
Crust: A little soggy on some of the heavier pizzas.
Toppings: The toppings were fresh, and delish.  Since the pizzas are quite small and thin, the toppings make or break the dish. 

 

Final Comments/Considerations:  
I would consider Your Pie to be a decent place to attend, especially with coupons, otherwise it can add up really quick.  The pizzas aren’t super filling, since they are quite small and thin, so if you were really hungry, I would look elsewhere.  If you are looking for a quick lunch, this place is a good option, especially for those staying at the newly built nearby TownePlace Suites by Marriott.
