If you like a nice, crunchy crust on your pizza then you better keep looking. If you like your salad with fresh, clean ingredients then you better keep looking. The pizza, while tasting fair, had the consistency of wet newspaper. Even using both hands it was difficult to eat because it was so soggy. The lettuce in the salad had lots of brown spots. We pointed it out to the Manager and the only response was "I'll let the kitchen know". Not even a half-hearted fake apology.

We arrived around dinner time to a hotel and decided we were too tired to go out so hotel recommended Marcos. Ordering was easy enough and selection was decent. We ordered garden salad and medium pizza with los of meat. We asked for extra sauce. Salad had black olives on it which I thought was weird. Many people don't like those but okay. Besides that salad was good but I thought the pizza had way to much salt. Plus our request for extra sauce was ignored. Pizza was dry and very crunchy. Some like that. I don't. It was okay not the best I've had. It was delivered to our hotel door promptly and delivery gal was really sweet.

5. Carrico's Pizza
Reviewed By john7002017
Always looking for a good pizza place. Found a new one today. They claim a NY NJ style, I'm from Brooklyn, they got it right. Very right. I had ONE slice of their Meat Stuffed Pizza. $5.49. It was huge. They make a bigger pizza for their by the slice case. It's about 24 inches. won't fit in their large box. One slice is about 8" at the crust edge maybe more. Wouldn't fit on a standard paper dinner plate. I like to pick up and fold a large slice but with this Stuffed crust that was not an option. This was a knife and fork meal. I could not believe the amount of Pepperoni and Really Good Italian sausage. There was at least six slices of Pepperoni in the first 1 1/2", it was loaded. The double crust was really good. The top crust was very thin and crispy and seasoned. Lots of garlic powder and buttery. The bottom crust was NY hand tossed style. Too moist to pick up as I said, but that was due to the amount of cheese and meat. You could pick up the more traditional Pepperoni or other non stuffed slices. Regarding the cheese; lots of good cheese. The sauce was rich and tomatoie. (is that a word?) There was also a little cup of extra sauce on the side. Every one in my party had the Meat Stuffed. All agreed that the choice of spices and overall quality of ingredients was out standing. Lots of fennel and good blend of other Italian herbs in sauce, crust, and in the sausage. The atmosphere is traditional Brooklyn Pizzeria. Nothing fancy. Paper plates, lots of napkins on each table (you'll need them), full hot pepper shakers, full cheese shakers, (surprisingly good quality cheese on the table), two TV's but sound off, no loud music, good service and very little wait for them to reheat pizza by the slice. Full menu items available. Back again two days later. Had a single slice of Pepperoni and sausage, and a side order of Fried Calamari. The Calamari was very good, nice big rings, looked liked onion rings. the breading was well seasoned with herbs and spices. It was not over cooked and was tender. Served with a small cup of their excellent sauce. A bit more sauce would be nice. I then got creative and put Calamari on my pizza, folded it to be eaten Brooklyn style. $3.50 for the Pizza, $5.99 for the Calamari. I would not call a plate full of good Calamari a side order, but what do I know. Now take that Calamari side and dump it on top or their Spaghetti w/Marinara $8.99 and you've got a real meal. (maybe another combo for their menu, hint hint)

Arrived late at my hotel and looked for meal options that could be delivered. I was familiar with Jett' s so I tried them.Hard to find phone number , took 45 minutes for delivery which was not too bad, but arrived with no plastic tableware or napkins which the front desk then provided
3. Bistro Eleven Sixty
Reviewed By PastorMom
Went with friends to celebrate a birthday and was blown away. I had avoided this place because I've never really been impressed with FlatIron, but Eleven Sixty is infinitely better than FlatIron. Real wine selection, amazing steak, fantastic pasta. I will defintely eat there again!

My wife and I decided to share the meal here. We had brocilli soup, stuffed mushrooms, Ribeye and Creme Brulle. It was enough for us with no leftovers. Everything was delicious except the Creme Brulle. It wasn't cooked enough. The staff was delightful. Will be back

This place is conveniently located in downtown Jackson area. Its location is next to an organic health grocery store called Grubbs, a popular workout place called the Lift, Polished nail salon, and the farmers market. I like that if I eat here I have several other places I can go to. Now to the food- the menu offered several options if youâre not wanting pizza. Such as pasta, calzones, appetizers, desserts, sandwiches. I opted for a 12 inch pineapple pizza- that was $17. I thought that was a little pricey- it was good though. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Casual, TVs, families eating. If youâre in the area you should check it out!
