Marion's Pizza Turns Back the Clock on Prices

Get Marion’s Pizza super cheap

If you live in Ohio, you could get one of America’s favorite foods — pizza — at hefty discounts. Marion’s Pizza is cutting their prices today, back to the prices it charged 44 years ago when the restaurant first opened.

Marion’s Pizza had originally planned to run the opening-day price promotion for its 45th anniversary, but the pizza joint needed a little boost and figured its customers could use the discount right now, so it decided to go ahead and run the promotion today.

Yesterday’s prices today

In 1965 when Marion’s Pizza first opened, a small cheese pizza cost 80 cents, and a large deluxe pizza cost $2.50. That’s exactly what people will pay today at the seven Marion’s Pizza locations. So if you’re short on cash and need something to eat you might be able to squeak by without unsecured loans.

Here are the addresses of the seven Marion’s Pizza locations:

  • South: 711 Shroyer Road at Patterson Road
  • Centerville: 241 N. Main St.
  • North: 3443 N. Dixie Dr. at Wagoner Ford Road
  • Beavercreek: 1320 N. Fairfield Road
  • Dayton Mall: 8991 Kingsridge Dr.
  • Englewood: 404 W. National Road
  • Town & Country: 50 E. Stroop Road, T&C Shopping Center

Marion’s Pizza promotion rules

Of course, the promotion is limited to one item per customer, so don’t think that you can just go in and buy a week’s worth of meals at 1965 prices. Also, Marion’s Pizza is not taking reservations and the offer applies to dine-in and carry out only.

So how can Marion’s Pizza afford to sell deluxe pizzas for $2.50 and small pizzas for less than $1? The restaurant was voted the Dayton area’s best pizza in 25 local surveys of newspaper and magazine readers. This promotion almost seems like it’s just a favor to Marion’s Pizza customers. The pizza joint obviously is already very popular, so while this promotion might win Marion’s Pizza a few new customers, it appears the place is doing pretty well already in the publicity department. … click here to read the rest of the article titled “Marion’s Pizza Turns Back the Clock on Prices
