Pizza Maru

This is one of my go-to restaurants for when my party wants a large quantity of food to share between a group of people. The location is conveniently located (there's a large parking lot shared with other establishments), and the interior is super spacious and warmly decorated. On weekday nights, this place isn't too crowded, but on weekends it is bustling. My friends and family usually order the sets every time we dine here because it comes with so many dishes and it helps us break down what we should order for the indecisive people! This is the menu for our most recent dine-in experience: Set A - Family Feast: ($60.95) - Large classic pizza: Bacon Potato Pizza - my little brother said it's not actually bacon because it wasn't crispy enough hahah. He said he classifies it as being just pieces of pork instead. For the potato ingredient - it's just pieces of potato on top of your pizza. Very filling and also very cheesy. You can also upgrade your pizza from classic to premium for $4 - Large chicken with 1 sauce: Half & Half Fried Chicken with garlic chili sauce - large pieces, but the chicken pieces were very dry :( Our previous experiences were better though - Pasta or Toppokki: Shrimp & Bacon Pasta - my little brother's favorite dish - House salad - sweet with cranberries, we like the dressing as well - Fries - Honey Cream Fries: always A++. So so good and satisfying. A must order at Pizza Maru! Set D - Couple Time: ($24.95) - Small classic pizza: Combination Pizza - it's the size of a personal pie, so the pieces of pizza are pretty tiny and cute. The pizza itself was so-so, nothing special - Small chicken with 1 sauce: Crispy Fried Chicken - these pieces were tender and juicy, so good! The pieces were smaller, but much much better than the dry pieces from the Half & Half Fried Chicken dish - House Salad or Fries: Parmesan Fries - comes with a good amount of parmesan on them. The Honey Cream Fries were a hit at our table, so we barely ate these fries Set A was advertised as feeding 3-4 people, so we decided to order Set D (feeds 2 people) as well - we shouldn't have because we actually ended up with a whole pie of pizza, a tub of fries, and like 10 wings left after our meal, aka basically the whole Set D. We all came hungry, but were so full after our meal. It's cool though - lunch for tomorrow! At least we still had room for cake~ Paris Baguette is right next door to Pizza Maru, super convenient to sneak a cake in to the workers for a surprise after your meal. There's no cake cutting fee and they turn up the music really loud to play the Happy Birthday song. Pizza Maru is always a nice spacious place to dine in and celebrate, and we have been consistently coming back here for good sharable food. Also located in the same parking lot as H-Mart :)

A restaurant that doesn't seem like it makes sense, but wow is it good. Food is top notch in terms of quality for the price (a bit on the expensive side). They do have a bar and does take out, but the ambience is very nice. The speakers are very balanced, and even though I don't speak Korean, I enjoy the music and the mood. I've tried several of their pastas and pizzas and I'm very impressed every time. Would of liked a little bit more on the Korean appetizers, but I'm okay with it.
