Walts
Walt's is a restaurant and pizzeria in Marion that serves pizza with thin crust and fresh toppings, along with salads, sandwiches, pasta, and grilled dishes. The interior is simply furnished with tables and booths for quick service, with photos on the walls showing local history and sports teams.
The restaurant opened in 1977 and grew from a small spot into a larger operation that has sold over two million pizzas. Founder Walt built the original booth seating himself, and his son Walter Nieds III now runs the business as general manager.
The name comes from Walt, the founder whose craftsmanship remains visible through the original booths he built himself, still in use today. The place serves as a neighborhood gathering spot where regular customers feel at home and staff often know diners by name.
The restaurant offers dine-in, takeout, and delivery service, with a heated patio available for outdoor dining. It is best to call ahead when arriving with large groups, especially for birthday celebrations.
A signature dish is the Double Decker Pizza with two layers of crust and cheese with toppings in between, twisted at the edges and designed for sharing. The restaurant regularly offers specials, including buffalo chicken pizza on Wednesdays and meat lovers pizza on Thursdays at reduced prices.
