Marcellos Pizzeria

If you are in Vaughan, you know you are going to be getting a case of «Itis» after whatever meal you eat! This place is extremely busy and it should be, especially from the delicious food that they serve! I don’t know how the italians do it, but they truly mastered the art of making pasta! The pasta is cooked to perfection and the sauce is bursting with flavours. Portions are very generous and the price is very reasonable. The servers are very friendly and makes you feel at home. A great atmosphere and a great place to go for lunch and dinner!

What makes me and my family come back again and again is exceptional food, great service, warm cozy atmosphere and good price.
Always look for the daily special on the chalk board on top of the pizza oven. It’s always good. We had tried most of the dishes on their menu. For appetizers, we love their salads. Both of their grilled and fried Calamari are tender and tasty. The mussels itself of course depends on the season, but their sauce is so good, you will want to finish the last drop with the garlic with bread.
I don’t normally like cheese pizza, but I just can’t resist their Margherita pizza. I’d say it’s addictive! we love most of the pasta, especially the medaglioni ai pomodori secchi and their pasta sauce is to die for.
When you order pasta dishes here, you can change the pasta and the sauce to your liking :) If you have a favorite Italian dish you want but it’s not on the menu, talk to the waiter/​waitress. The chef may make it for you. That’s what we were told by the waitress.
This place is always busy, especially in the weekend, when they don’t take reservations. We are well prepared to wait when we walk in the door. The hostess is friendly and always give us a good idea on our waiting time. She also takes down our number and calls when our table is ready. We can take off to have a stroll at the mall or even Vaughan Mills when the wait is incredibly long.

What’s to say that hasn’t been said before! Consistently great good with exceptional service. I’m not sure why anyone complains about the slow response here but I’ve been 5 times now twice with my toddler and we couldn’t be happier.
The pizzas are fabulous so is the salad and the soup. Highly recommend the tiramisu, although there is no dirth of people selling it in Woodbridge only a few have mastered it as well as Marcello’s.
Fantastic go to. No need to drive downtown to Librettos.

Been coming here for years, consistently delicious with good prices, can’t go wrong coming here unless there’s a wait of over an hour, when they tell u half an hour its most often 15. 5 stars for service prices and quality

What happens when you arrive on a super busy evening? You’re met with friendly and attentive service, that’s what.
Great food, great service, great experience. I’ll surely be back.

Great food and awesome selection of pastas. Service is always so fast and this place is always packed. They don’t take reservations on weekends either. Pizzas are very authentic

This place is insane. Diavola pizza is my favourite in Toronto as of 5 minutes ago. It’s perfection, salty, spicy, cheesy, crispy, chewy deliciousness.
Rock star fried calamari
Very yummy caprese…
The seafood pasta looked outstanding, I’m getting that next time…
Very friendly service… Just f’n wow to everything.
For me best pizza anywhere…

They don’t take reservations on the weekend so I came in around 8:30 to have a table. They told me 40 minutes and I left my number with them to call. When I came back with the rest of my party 30 minutes later, it turns out they crossed my name out! They never called me and so when I showed them my call logs, the hostess was gracious and seated us immediately.
The bread was… alright. Nothing fancy. My only complaint is that the waiter took the dip for the bread and gave it to another table and we ended up having to ask that table to pass it back. Ordering was… kind of a pain, partly because I was indecisive since I really was split between ordering 2 pizza’s. So, the waiter just… walked away? Took us another 5 minutes before we got his attention to complete the whole table’s order again.
The food was decent, though I felt like the toppings could’ve been a bit more abundant. I liked the sauce and the sopressata. I honestly wanted to rate this a bit higher, but it felt like the entire party just got left swiped on Tinder.
The tiramisu dessert was great, but it was really big. Easily enough for 2 or more people and definitely for sharing. I ordered a coke and apparently, they didn’t include refills.
I’ve had better pizza elsewhere, so sadly, I don’t think I’ll be coming again of my own volition.
Service: 2
Food: 4
Time: 4
Note: Oh and for some reason, I just personally got irritated by their menu’s font. It was extremely cumbersome to read because it was so incredibly loopy.

Love love love the food here. Every time we go the pasta and pizza are always fabulous. The customer service is excellent and the food is always great.

I really wanted to like this place but I just couldn’t! I was excited to try this place because of all the reviews here, but this place was just another bland, italian restaurant.
Pros:
–got to sit on the patio which was nice
–tiramisu was AMAZING.
–veal parm was good, just that, good, nothing more, nothing less
–pricing is perfect for the portions
Cons:
–fettuccine alfonzo was such a letdown. There was no flavour, literally tasted like cream.
I know there’s another location on St. Clair, maybe one day i’ll try it. But for now I’m going to steer clear of any Marcellos

3.5−4 stars. The food was a 4.5−5 however there was a couple mishaps which lowered the score.
The best way to embrace warm weather is eating a great meal on a patio. After a long and gruesome winter, I was excited to make plans for dinner on Marcello’s patio.
I called at 4:30pm on a Wednesday and was told they were not taking reservations… Their website stated they had a no-​reservation policy for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Again, this was on a Wednesday.
There were 20 different pizza options and they all seemed delicious. Our server provided great insights about personal, and customer favourites. I choose the Ciccio pizza (number 17). It had spicy olive oil (instead of tomato sauce), rapini, chicken, mozzarella, asiago and red peppers. The cost was $ 14.95 and it was well worth it!
I asked for two separate bills as I had ordered wine and a started salad and my guest had not. The bill arrived as one with no explanation from our waitress. It wasn’t until I read previous Unilocal reviews that I learned that this restaurant does not split bills. The «no split bills» policy is a inconvenience for any patron at any restaurant. While I understand that it can slow down service it puts the guests at a disadvantage trying to figure out how to correctly split a bill (which wouldn’t be too easy after a couple glasses of wine!).
Overall, this was a good restaurant. There were some minor «policies» I disagreed with but my pizza was excellent, the server was courteous and I was intrigued by the many options on the menu.

I haven’t had any chance to come back here but I can’t stop craving for their pesto sauce. I’ve tried different Italian restaurants but none can make the sauce as good as them. *drooling*
I was here for a farewell party. This place was packed even though it was only 7PM. People were lining up outside despite the cold (it was during winter). The outside of the restaurant looks fancy and upscale but the atmosphere was warm, cozy and casual (a bit suffocated since it was so packed).
My sister and I ordered Calamari Alla Grigila for starter. It’s basically just grilled squid marinated with olive oil, lemon and basil pesto. (yummy pesto!!). It was amazing! My sister had pizza but I can’t remember its name. The pizza was crunchy and the crust wasn’t too thick. It was full with toppings and tasty. I ordered Spaghetti al Pesto (grilled chicken, sundried tomatoes in pesto cream sauce). Can you tell how much I love their pesto?!? While waiting for our orders, we tried their fresh baked bread.
The price is reasonable for a nice, authentic (or close) Italian cuisine. The serving size is decent.
It was super busy and packed. The service was quick but the staffs weren’t very friendly. They may have a long day! But at least smile!
I walk by this restaurant everyday and it’s always busy. ALWAYS! Even during lunch! During the summer they have the patio open as well. However, I will definitely find a chance to come back here again (not during the weekend tho). I love their pesto sauce! (but thinking about the lineup makes me feel frustrated)

This place is do busy for its own good. Went the last couple of times and the service was not the greatest. The food is good but the lack of service makes for less then great dinning experience. They also should freshen up the menu. We also went with a friend with a food allergy and they would not accommodate him.

Worst experience I’ve ever had dining out. Read great reviews so decided to try this place out. Was prepared for a long wait time because I had read a few reviews mentioning this, but this was ridiculous. Took 45 mins from ordering to receive and appetizer. Another 40 mins to get our pizza. Waitress came to our table once during the hour and a half we spent waiting to get me another drink (20 minutes after I had finished it).
Pizza was okay, no where comparable to the other pizza places I’ve been to in Woodbridge or toronto.
Would not come again, wouldn’t recommend to ANYONE.
Also, no refills on pop drinks!

If you are looking for Italian home cooking Marcellos is the place! The pasta is served piping hot and the atmosphere is just like being at home with your family. The staff is very friendly, the portions are huge, they are always busy, the food is fresh. I have been eating amazing italian food all of my life in Canada and in Italy therefore it’s very difficult for me to be satisfied with finding the perfect italian restaurant. So trust me when I say that this place is Amazing. The Terra pizza and fettuccine al salmone are my favourite dishes.

All I can say is MMMMMMMMMM! I went for dinner with two others and we enjoyed all of the food. We had a salad to start (forgot which one) and the mussels. The broth the mussels were cooked in was to die for! We ordered two pizzas-​vegetarian and spicy sausage, as well as the seafood pasta which our server told us was the best seller. Pizzas were delicious, and so was the pasta (a little aldente for my liking). Everything was great except for the loud hectic environment, a lot of kids running around, we could barely hear each other. We will be returning for lunch next time :)

I absolutely adore this restaurant. I am always coming here with my coworkers for post work drinks and dinner. I have zero complaints about the food. I usually opt for the specials because they are unique and not seen on the menu. When the specials don’t appeal to me, I find myself going to the ol’ faithful Margherta Pizza. The price is reasonable and the portions are large. My gripe? They cannot separate the bills, they haven’t an ATM and the service is unpredictable. Service is a big thing when it comes to being a regular patron but because the food is amazing, I will give it a ⁴⁄₅. Service wise, ³⁄₅.

So my cousin and I decided to dine at this restaurant. It was my cousin’s suggestion to come here as she had been here before with her friends. When we entered, we were assisted to our table promptly. Our waitress was very nice and helpful throughout my whole experience.
Décor:
The restaurant’s décor was pretty simple. I can’t wait to dine here during the summer. Their patio looked very inviting.
Food:
We started off with the *Arancini Con Pomodoro*, which were pretty much risotto balls with tomato sauce. It was pretty basic tasting. Inside the risotto balls were mozarella cheese. I did decide to get the Fettuccine Alfonzo, which was fettuccine pasta with porcini mushrooms, grilled chicken, and delicious roasted garlic cream sauce. That was delicious. I loved how the garlic cream sauce brings out the taste of porcini mushrooms. Okay, I have to admit that my salivary glands are being activated just thinking of the taste lol. Loooooovvvveeeeeee.

Came here after a day of shopping at Vaughan Mills. My friend raved about this restaurant and insisted we ate there. The host told us it would be a 60 minute wait! That’s a ridiculous amount of time and we were all pretty hungry. We still left our name and number and walked out to decide on other options. Our friend assured us she’s never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a table. True enough, we got a call 15 minutes later saying our table was ready. It was packed both inside and on the patio. The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the room. You can see the stone oven where they do the baking from our table and everything was made in house.
The bread was really fresh and unlimited so it’s easy to fill up on that. I had to refrain myself from doing so. We placed our orders and it came out really quickly despite how busy the restaurant was. Had to order a pizza because the aroma was irresistable. It was pretty thin, which made it hard to eat with the heavy chunks of artichokes on it. Delicious nonetheless. Tried a bit of my friends pasta and it was equally as good. Just the right proportion of sauce to pasta ratio. I’m no expert on Italian cuisine but this felt pretty close. The food was really good and the environment was nice and rustic.
Excellent for vegetarians as well. Server wasn’t friendly, barely said a word to us but she was efficient. Memorized all four orders including modifications and allergies without problems and our waters were refilled twice despite how busy it was. Will definitely be returning.

I was meeting with my magnificent Aunt in Vaughan for a quick lunch during the work week, typically, we’re both a little picky when it comes to Italian food (given our shared heritage) but when she strongly endorsed the food at Marcellos, I knew we had to give it a try.
Tucked in the corner of one of the three sections of the Tuscany place plaza outside of Vaughan Mills mall, it’s exterior façade masks it’s true size inside — it’s frickin’ HUGE! Dining to the left, the right, the front and way in the back. If 100+ people weren’t seated I’d be surprised. And let me remind you all… this was lunch! Packed! Another positive vote of confidence before I even sat down!
We were seated quickly and after much deliberation we both decided on a glass of house Cab Sauv to start and an Arugula Salad. Now I know veggies are cheap but holy smoke, the salad for one (as an appetizer) could easily EASILY feed 3 – 4 people as an appetizer. Like it was a struggle to muscle the whole thing down. Huge shards of parmigiano cheese, giant walnuts and a light lemony dressing. I could have had this all by itself and been perfectly content. Highly recommend this salad!
For my main I went with one of the wood oven cooked pizzas: Diavola Pizza — tomato sauce, mozzarella, hot sopressata, hot peppers, onions and black olives. It was cooked perfectly with only the slightest fleck of char on the crust and on the bottom. Also the marriage of the toppings were outstanding. I scarfed ¾ of it down before I remembered to breath. Their personal pizzas are the perfect size for one (or two if you’re watching your figure or not fully hungry). I’m greedy so even if I couldn’t finish my pizza, the leftovers were coming with me!
Why not a 5 star? Well I had issue with the turn around time on the pizza. I understand they were busy, but if I had been in a rush to eat and leave I woulda been pissed as the wait time between salad and pizza was almost 40 minutes. I was starving by the time it came. I think there needs to be a little more snap to the kitchen as they turn out the pizzas. Other than wait time, this was a great lunch experience that I would come back for again!
Eatcrest Out!
