The Vibe
Margarita Pizza & Bakery is a no-nonsense, roadside slice shop on Bristol Pike that feels like a throwback. It’s not a place for a candlelit dinner; it’s a “grab-your-box-and-go” spot where the focus is strictly on the dough and the deals.
What Locals Love (The Pros)
- Top Dish: The Tomato Pie is the main event here. Locals appreciate that they offer two distinct styles: a “Traditional” Sicilian thick crust and the popular “Angelo’s Tomato Pie”, which is thin, crispy, and loaded with chunky plum tomato sauce, garlic, and fresh basil.
- The Specials: Value hunters love the “Two Large Pizzas” deal, making it a go-to for feeding a crowd without breaking the bank.
- The Best Part: The Sauce. Whether on a regular pie or the tomato pie, the sauce gets high marks for being robust, chunky, and seasoned well—not the watery stuff you get at some chains.
Heads Up (The Cons)
- Delivery Roulette: A significant number of reviews caution against delivery, citing issues with cold food, crushed boxes, or long wait times. This is definitely a place where you’re better off picking it up yourself.
- Inconsistency: Some diners noted that the cook on the pizza can vary—sometimes perfect, other times a bit “floppy” or underdone. Asking for it “well done” is a common pro-tip.
The Verdict
This is a solid choice for Tomato Pie enthusiasts and budget-friendly Friday nights, provided you are willing to drive there for pickup. If you need reliable delivery or a dine-in atmosphere, you might want to try elsewhere.
