Best pizza in the area! My husband and I visit regularly, ordering a small pie with Chianti. The whole experience feels and tastes old Italian family tradition, they're a local treat. read more

Great little local owned business with delicious pizza! We ate in the restaurant with great service and recommendations and we ordered 10 pizzas for a family event the next day. They were amazing to work with. Highly recommend!! read more

I can't recall the last time I went to De Marinis , but when I visit my family in Milwaukee we always go to another pizza establishment. I'm so glad we tried De Marinis again. We got the deal they were offering today was a large pizza and a free pitcher of soda or draft beer. We got a cheese sausage , onion, and mushroom pizza and a small De Marinis salad. The small easily serves 2 people and could do 3 people. If you love dressing on a salad this one is it. The pizza had a butter crust and didn't skip on the toppings. I had to stop at 4 pieces because I wanted to save some for lunch tomorrow. They do take reservations for parties six or more. read more

DeMarinis Pizzeria - Large Cheese, Sausage, Mushroom & Onion - Pizza Near Me - Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

We had a private event in the separate room. The pizza and salad were both good, and the separate room was comfortable for the 50 people we had, I bet you could easily do 75-100. We got our drinks up at the bar and the bartenders were really nice. read more

Date of visit: August 26, 2023 Once a month we get together with some friends for a pizza party, trying a different place each time. This month was DeMarini's, a place I used to frequent many years ago when I worked out on this side of town and spent quite a bit of time there. Nearly twenty years later, the place does not disappoint! Sure there were some misfires such as the mediocre mozzarella marinara and garlic bread, but the main event--the pizza--is still on point! We got a 16" pepperoni and a meat lovers of the same size and both were big hits with each of the families. This is a group with some strong opinions and personalities, so for everyone of the six people to give it a thumbs up is kind of a big deal! read more

Favorite place to get pizza when I get back home to the Falls. Great staff and great pizza.

I have been going to their restaurants for decades. We moved to Iowa and not only order a large to eat at the restaurant but take a parbaked one for us to enjoy back home. I saw another post about the sausage and I agree wholeheartedly. It was awful. Something has definitely changed and we will be taking this off of our list. It started out with a group of 6 of us decided to get together here as my husband and I were in town for a funeral. The hostess was turning people away and telling everyone that it would be several hours before she could accommodate anyone. There were several booths and smaller tables opened so I offered that we could split up our party as the others were enroute. When part of my party arrived she asked them if they were with the old couple. My husband is 90 and I am much younger and actually the same age as my cousins who were with us. I found her comment to be totally inappropriate. She reluctantly agreed to do that and actually put us on opposite ends of the restaurant. Our pizza came and it looked nothing like what it used to although the parbaked pizza looked better when we opened and packed that one away. Something has changed here and not for the better. Tried to send in an email and the email bounced back. Between the 6 of us we dropped over 200.00 at this place and it will never happen again. read more

Service and prices wow. I think more people need to figure this place out. Overall A++

We love their large thin crust sausage and pepperoni takeout pizza. Always warm and fresh. Yummy.

Service was so special. Smell of baking za. Clean classic atmosphere. Like that they open early on Fridays. But enough of this love fest. This was our go to default pizza joint. Not anymore. Shrinkflation has a large pie coming in at medium size, with extra large price. Have no idea where they're getting toppings, but the Italian sausage, was horrible. Chewy and zero flavor. It looked like the whole pie was cooked at a angle with the sauce running to one side and wads of mozz, that looked like it was added at the last 2nd second. Have never seen shredded mushrooms, but thats what was on it. Maybe other diners will experience something better, but having been a loyal customer for over 25 yrs, everyone deserves better than what DeMarinis is serving. Dine @ own risk. Going back to Pepinos. read more

I am writting to share my recent experience at De Marinis, which left me diapointed and frustrated. My mother and I along with several other customers arrived after 3:00 pm, expecting to enjoy a meal based on your posted hours. However, we found the doors locked and were left waiting outside in the cold, despite the signs indicating you were open. After several attempts to get staff's attention, we were told through a partially opened door that you were having a meeting and would not open for another half hour. When I asked if we could wait inside, the bartender checked with the manager and returned to say we could not. This left us standing outside in uncomfortable conditions. I understand that meetings are sometimes necessary, but I believe it's important to communicate clearly with your customers. If your hours change or you need to delay opening, a simple sign on the door would prevent confusion and frustration. We left with good choices to either go to the new "Hop Yard Ale Works" that just opened on Main Street in Menomonee Falls or to "Peppino's Ristorante" a well established place to enjoy pizza. A couple of places we should have gone to in the first place. Next time we will. read more

The food was amazing. The pizza delicious. Service was top notch. The atmosphere was like being in little Italy.

My wife and I took our two grandsons and one of their friends to De Marinis as part of a birthday celebration on a Sunday late afternoon. There was no wait and we were seated at a nice large table. The boys wanted wings for an appetizer so we ordered wings and garlic bread. Both appetizers were good and the boys especially enjoyed the wings. We ordered 3 pizzas: one small for the birthday boy, another small for the other boys to share and a large pizza for my wife and myself. We all thought our pizzas were delicious. The server did an excellent job as well. Ed S. read more

I'd been to De Marinis Pizzeria once before years ago and ordered lasagna on that visit. I wasn't thrilled about the quality of the lasagna (specifically that it was drowning in a boat of sauce that masked all of the other flavors) so I hadn't made an effort to come back. Wanting to celebrate the new year and try a pizza that I hadn't had before, I took a chance and called in an order on New Year's Eve for a large sausage pizza and garlic bread with cheese. I was told it would be about 35 minutes, so I arrived after 30 minutes with 5 to spare on their estimate. By the time I got up to to the pickup window, roughly 5 minutes had passed so I was up to the full 35 minutes since I called in the order. I'm guessing that they overestimated the wait by about 10 minutes and that my pizza and garlic bread had been sitting there for a while because they were both lukewarm, not hot. The pizza looked like pictures that others had posted, but I was disappointed in the presentation of the garlic bread. I knew it lazily had just a slice of cheese toasted onto the bread instead of shredded cheese, but there wasn't a sprinkle of herbs that I've seen in other pictures. At least the garlic bread tasted as expected, so no issues there. The pizza, however, was uninspired. The sausage was bland, the crust had on off-putting flavor, and the sauce was more like a cheap spaghetti sauce than a robust tomato sauce you'd expect on a pizza as expensive as theirs. Absolutely not worth what I paid and something I'd not bother ordering again. Pepino's down the road in Menomonee Falls or even Aldo's a little farther down the road in Germantown are much better choices for independent pizza places in the area. read more

Not bad, stick with the Italian food on the menu will probably be a good way to go. Service was good, very nice staff. Got the chicken wings which were nice and hot, breaded. Prob not the place for wings if you are a wing connoisseur lol. All in all, pretty decent. read more

De Marini's is our favorite pizza place!!! We always start with their Italian salad and end with their large square pizza with everything on it!!! And the leftovers are excellent for lunch or breakfast the next day too! read more

Our first time having De Marinis, we ordered a 4 topping small pizza that was delicious! We also ordered the house salad, which was not as good. Picking up the to-go order was a bit of a challenge as the bar staff was occupied with other things. read more

We passed this spot the day before ordering and thought it looked like your typical Italian-American pizza/past joint. We decided to pick up a pie on our last night in town and boy, was this an experience. I give many places the benefit of the doubt and tried to do that here, too. I questioned whether this was just a local way of making pizza and went to review photos from customers in the past to see if my pizza was a typical pie for DeMarinis. All the evidence I saw proved that this can't be excused away as a local method of doing things! Their pizzas were tanned and well-dressed and definitely would be picked first for the school dance or dodgeball....my pizza was the pale, socially awkward one whose always picked last. I'll start off by saying I enjoy all things retro, throwback, "dated", etc. I love seeing old school decor/furniture and all of that, so the interior wasn't an issue with me. Probably was the only redeeming factor and what's bumping the score to a 2/5. Now let's get to the pizza...you'll see from my photos that it's evident DeMarinis uses low quality shredded cheese which I could forgive, if the pizza wasn't drowning in it. The thick blanket of cheese covered all the edges of the crust and caused the pizza to literally get stuck to the cardboard...we had to struggle to get enough of the edge up so we could get leverage and pull the slice off! The amount of cheese dumped on the pizza also prevented any of it from browning and very much had a play-doh quality...I mean, take a look at the way the paper bag left impressions on the cheese! Aside from the dairy disaster, there was a mere suggestion of sauce hiding underneath. The sauce was more like a thick, sweet paste and not "saucy" at all. Even with a lack of sauce, the crust was doughy (see photos). All in all, I was disappointed and shocked that this pizza was ever allowed out of the kitchen. Take pride in the food you put out - even if it's a simple pizza! I wouldn't normally leave a bad review if a dish just "isn't my thing" but I was genuinely offended by the so-called pizza that DeMarinis felt was acceptable to give to a customer and had to leave a review with photo evidence for others to see, including the management here so they can have a conversation with the kitchen staff and get some QC in place to prevent this. read more

Brought m, y basketball team here for dinner after a game and had a great experience. We had a room for 30 and while it was bare bones (just tables), it did the job. We ordered 9 pies and some apps, along with soda. The pizza was all yummy, although being from NYC there is no pizza that meets my full expectation. But this was good. Apps were good and the sauce was the star! Old school restaurant that seems to have a great ambiance in the main area. They get a 4 for tonight, but I will be back as I hear the pasta is amazing. read more

Excellent pizzas!! We haven't had a bad or even mediocre pizza there. Always, crust is crisp and toppings are plenty. Definitely recommend. We will be returning. read more

Pizza quality has deteriorated considerably. I wondered why the star rating had dropped. Now I know

The only good thing was friendly service when placing and picking up our take out order of salad, 2 orders of garlic bread and a small and large pizza. Too bad everything went in the garbage after we had one bite of each. Total waste of over $70!!! read more

We met friends here for pizza. I was outstanding; is more of a thin, chewy crust. Neat old-style inside decor. And great service (which is so rare these days). Recommend the salad & pizza combo. read more

Sausage, Onion, Mushroom large. $20. Hmmmmmmmm. Crust very hard to cut with the knife provided. Cheezy. Soft. Not much Italian flavor. Needed oregano or some basil. Obviously popular on a Tuesday night. And open, for that matter. Mama Mias was closed for lack of staffing! Still not our favorite flavors, textures. Each to his own. read more

Had some really good pizza here a few years ago, I think it was cheese mushroom onion and sausage but got a cheese recently for the kids and it was just about the worst cheese pizza we've ever had...almost like eating straight up melted mozzarella, hardly any sauce, or flavor...could just be the way they do cheese and the rest is still good? But I'd take a frozen Red Baron cheese over that one next time... read more

Taken from One Bite App review by Tony the "Pie Guy" Super thin square pizza. Cheese was really tasty. Sauce was good, but would have liked a bit more tang. The crust is nicely cooked and crispy. The large pizza was a bit smaller than I would have expected. Can easily put away this entire pizza on a semi empty stomach. 7.4/10 read more

Wow, this is weird! I thought I had completed a review almost 3 years ago. De Marini's is about 3 blocks from the house and since we moved back to Wisconsin, we (I) have been here at least 3 dozen times. It's a good place to grab a beer on a Friday afternoon and chat with the bartenders or regular customers, especially during Brewer games. The place has not changed that much in the inside or outside as I remember from my earlier years, but it is a local staple. So much to review from over three years of visits as we have been here as a couple, solo and also with friends and family, I will keep it short. My wife's go to dish for pasta is the Alfredo with chicken and if she does not order the pasta it is the Feisty chicken wrap that is next on her list. After three years I can personally recommend (not in order of my favorites); Their Italian beef sandwich, chicken parmesan with garlic butter sauce (my go to); junior (round) pizza; homemade chips and their taco pizza on Tuesday. I haven't had a bad meal or service here yet, and the above items are my go to orders and if you are a new customer and undecided about what to order, give my favorites a try. It is a solid local place that may not blow your taste buds out of the water on your first visit, but when you find that menu item that you like you will back for it again and again. read more

After moving here from NYC (New York City) two years ago I reassure pizza like Green Bay Packer fans measure inches (define that how ever you wish). So, in search for food like home, THAT is a feat and a challenge that is nearly impossible. Chinese food? No comparison - New York is the best. Bagels? No comparison - New York is the best. Pizza? Well... NOW, there is a comparison. De Marinis offers old school Italian home style pizza - the likes you don't see outside of Aurthur Avenue (Da' Bronx) or in the Italian neighborhoods of Brooklyn - FUGGEDABOUDIT! I was skeptical because the best pizza (Patsy's, Ray's, Spumoni Gardens, Grimaldi's, etc) tops pizza because the water infused in the dough is pure magic. So, how does a little Italian place (a unicorn) in the burbs find a way to impress this reviewer? Must be in the water, the ingredients, and the culinary process. All I know is the base of the pizza was (kissing my fingers and thrusting them away to the air - MWA) nearly perfect. Thin crispy crust, perfect amount of blended cheese, and a fine silky layer of gravy (tomato sauce). De Marinis wins my pick for excellent quality pizza and the choice and quality of toppings match the pizza. NOW, expand the menu and consider some other traditional Italian dishes if possible or other usual pizzas (look at Two Boots Pizza in NYC as a reference). read more

Bayview, Falls, doesn't matter on the location I love the consistency they keep among both locations( I live in BV and the BF is by the one in the Falls so we frequent both). I've eaten at both places and while I like the atmosphere in the dining room waaaay better in the Falls, I think their bar looks exactly how you'd expect it to look, nothing too exciting. Picked up two pizzas to go last night, even though there was only two of us eating because ...we had a punch card that only needed two more stamps to get a free pizza....and yeah, my boyfriend was excited to finally fill it up(10 large pizzas= one free) Of course we had forgotten the card at home and the lady simply said "sorry, you'll just have to start a new one, and you can't combine them either...keep one in the car" Really? You're going to be a stickler about combining cards?? Just write your initials on the card or something. It is a small family restaurant, they can make exceptions like that, right? Especially for someone that's already spent $250 on pizzas with you. Pizzas good. They make them on large cookie sheets so when they say large they for sure mean it! I love how they do the crust on wrapped up around the edges a bit. Really delicious and toppings are always plentiful. I haven't had to the chance to actually dine in the restaurant yet, but look forward to trying some of their other dishes read more

Happy hour is gone but they still have a thin, regular and thick crust pizza. Best on the island. Be prepared though to pay $2 more for thick crust and $3 more for thin crust... Go figure Tap beers cool to cold. read more

Love the sausage pizza. Best in the Fall's. I would highly recommend it. I typically order takeout.

We came on a Friday night and it was nearly empty. Our waiter was very friendly and had some recommendations for us when we told him it was our first time there. We had the cheesy garlic bread to start - stick with just the regular garlic bread. This was fine but the cheese sets up so quickly that it's difficult to eat. We shared an Italian salad - again, fine. Just your basic salad (not that we were expecting some sort of reinvention). We had the cheese, sausage, mushroom, onion, and pepperoni pizza (large - always looking for leftovers!). Again, it was fine, nothing that knocked my socks off. For my husband, this pizza was great; he said it reminded him of one of his favorite SoCal pizza places from his childhood. I've been to that pizza place with him and yes, De Marino's pizza is very similar but I'm not a huge fan of his childhood favorite either (lol). De Marini's seems like maybe it's popular with the postgame high school crowd and I can see why it would be. We thought the pricing was very fair for the quality and amount of food we received. I won't turn down a slice from here in the future but I also won't actively seek it out. There are just other places I like more. read more

I am happy to inform you that De Marinis continues to offer the same great pizza. It is consistent and has not changed over the years. Coming from Chicago it is impossible for me to choose a favorite pizza, but this is one of them. The sausage continues to be one of my favorite elements of the pizza. I also like the crust. It's not a crispy crust but it's flavorful. Some Neapolitan crusts taste like flour and water. I also highly recommend the Italian salad. It compliments the pizza well. read more

I have been enjoying De Marinis pizza since I was 10 years old. My dad was a friend of Al De Marinis & I remember going to their place on Superior Ave. I still love their pizza & frequent the place on Conway many times. Nothing compares to this pizza. read more

There's a reason this place is celebrating 25 years of business. You want a killer thin crust pizza with no frills bs? You come here. Crispy yet soft when you bite into it? Yep. The sausage, mushroom, and onion is my absolute favorite. I'll have that with a side of Riverwest stein, thanks! Whether you're dining for 2 or 15, they'll set you up right. My extended family and I have been coming here for many years. Want to order a pizza to go and drive back with it to Milwaukee? It'll still taste awesome AF when you get home to eat it. This is the shhhht you can eat cold the next morning. read more

The Title of this is: Butter Bomb So imagine this: you're out to dinner with your friends. You get drinks, appetizers and food. It comes fast and the food is pretty good. Your friend tries to cross her legs and hits her knee on the table. She rubs it and finds butter all over her leggings and hands. Yes, this actually happened. The wrapper was stuck under the table as well. The food was mediocre, but the grossness of the butter didn't improve anything. read more

I really want to give De Marini's a 5... but the service falls short for me. I'm sure it's a family owned operation and I've been coming here since I was little. Unfortunately the wait for the food just seems a little long... and no refills on beverages? Lame. Make sure you order an appetizer if your ordering pizza. I recommend the cheese bread. It's a full slice of cheese that melts over the garlic bread. The bread itself has a nice crunchy crust with soft bread. The pizza is served as a flat crust, and lives up to a classic Italian pizza that you could expect from a pizzeria. They only come in three sizes, Large, small and smaller (I forget the smallest size), a large could probably feed 3 people, but if you have 4 adults, order 2 pizzas and maybe take some leftovers home. By the way, left overs from De Marini's actually reheat well (always a plus). It would appear that they recently hired two high school kids to work the tables and seat guests. I feel like they are in the family, because they looked miserable and delayed on clearing the table or bringing out plates for the appetizers. I just wish service was consistently better because the food is spot on. read more
