Zoeys - Marion

I really had to think through this review because I want to give Zoey's 5 stars but can't get myself to do so. I'll start with all the stuff I like: Great quality ingredients! The sauce, veggies, cheese bread all good quality. I ate some leftovers 2 days later and still the pizza held it's quality. The restaurant is very warm and cozy. There is dim lighting at the restaurant, the music isn't too loud, the servers are very warm and friendly. Great place to go for a date night or catch up with friends. Now the things that took me aback: They don't cut the to go pizza in slices! Why? I had to come home and figure out how to cut a hot deep dish pie. I wanted to eat the pizza asap, but oh well, I had to cut it first. Secondly, I felt the crust isn't salted well. Deep dish pizza has such amazing crust, but lack of salt really too away the pleasure of it. I know I'm comparing Chicago style deep dish from Lou Malnati with Zoey's in Marion, it's not the fairest comparison, but I do want to hold my town and it's businesses to high standards. Parking situation at the Marion square is getting worse by the day. Be prepared to park a block away to get here. We paid about $40 for a deep dish pizza and some cheesy breadsticks. It's not a $10 pie, I expect better pizza for what I paid.

The best Chicago style pizza in the CR metro. Hands down. Always incredible. The cheese bread is also killer so don't forget that while you wait. Chicago pies take a long time to cook. So happy they reopened after the Derecho storm destroyed part of the building. I would have been heartbroken.

Best Chicago Style deep dish pizza I 've found in the Cedar Rapids area. Service was great, even the manager (owner? stopped by our table to see if everything was OK. Looking forward to trying the other types of pizza, calzones, and the Zookie desert. Will be going back many times. Loved the decor, especially the fish hanging on the wall.

Excellent pizza Service was average at best. Our carry out order was not ready and they messed up one of our pizzas and we didn't have time to wait almost an hour for a correction pizza.

The best pizza in town, hands down! You have to try the taco pizza on New York thin crust and the Zoey in deep dish. Honestly, everything on the menu is fantastic. I highly recommend the zookie if you're looking for something sweet. The restaurant has a charming atmosphere with a few booths and tables. You can order at the counter or opt for takeout. Just keep in mind that they tend to be quite busy, so it’s a good idea to call ahead for takeout or arrive early to avoid a wait.
