Marathon Pizza - Morden, Manitoba

T G.

I always heard how great Marathon pizzas were. So I decided to order a Bacon and Green Pepper medium pizza. The toppings were plentiful and real. But the crust is so tough and hard to chew. It took a half hour for the order. It is missing the pizzazz that it used to have oh so many years ago.

I don’t need to order one again ever.

You don’t have to run a marathon to get their pizza

Marathon has been around since forever, and at one time it was the best pizza place in Morden. Sadly these days that's not so much the case. It's absolutely hit or miss when ordering. Sometimes the pizza is reminiscent of the good old days, other times - like tonight - it's delicious but missing whatever it was that made it Marathon pizza and tgen there are times, like the last time we ordered, which was at least 4 to 5 years ago, when it was so bad we had to wait that long to be able to try it again. I did enjoy it today but I have to say that the risk is not worth the reward. And when you call to order you get yelled at about how busy he his or how he was just about to close because he wasn't busy (as if anyone could know this) and it's very off putting when trying to order supper. The hours are very short as is - 4 to 7 Sunday to Friday, and 4 to 8 on Saturday so the window to order isn't huge. I feel as if he yells at people to try to convince them not to order.....but that's just how it feels to me.
I honestly cannot recommend this once loved restaurant any longer, and that saddens me.

The marathon royal used to be one of the best pizzas
Ordered one today for the first time in a couple of years and what a disappointment
Waited 1/2 hour longer than expected
Probably time for owner change and redo the entire restaurant
Very out dated
Not welcoming at all
Won’t go back

As a chef I would never have sent out what I got. Dough was well past the max shelf life In a cooler. It tasted like a smelly old sock. Cheese didn't melt properly and I could go on but I'd rather end this with something positive. The young guy working the counter was very nice and tried his best. But overall extremely disappointed.

A really unique dine-in experience. First off, the pizza is excellent. We had the Royal and it was tasty and delicious. Loads of toppings.
The unique part was the banter between the senior couple that runs the restaurant. The cook is an 86 year old man and a really kind soul. I felt sorry for him as he was run off his feet working and prepping. But I suppose he is a bit deaf, as when his wife speaks to him, no matter what she says, it is loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear. Great entertainment.
I'm sure the decor has not been updated since the place opened. I'm guessing late 70s or early 80s. The linoleum in the bathroom is incredible and brings back childhood memories.
This place is a must-try if you are in Morden.

Absolutely the best pizza in Manitoba! They have the best, tastiest crust and very flavourful sauce, plus generously cut toppings. The 2 topping 2 pizza special is a great bargain, too.

Its not advertised. Take out pizza's are 2 for 1. So make sure you ask. Owner is Italian but it getting a little aged so hours are not as regular. Make sure you get a pizza while you can.
