Marion's Piazza
This unique and delicious style of pizza, intensely popular with the locals, has been a part of Dayton traditions for over 40 years, and is a must try for anyone visiting the area. The Dayton tradition for pizza is to cut it into a multitude of small square pieces. Décor is not much more than a typical fast food restaurant and you have to line up twice, once for food and once for drinks.
