Marv's is a casual but inviting pizza restaurant in the heart of downtown Paso Robles, near the City Park. The evening we dined at Marv's we saw other families, couples, and even a large group celebrating a birthday. Customers can order at the counter and seat themselves. The dining area is roomy and there is a small arcade tucked in a side room. Service was helpful and friendly.

Food

We tried a gourmet pizza topped with chicken and garlic as well as a number of veggies--it was delicious, chewy, and still had a nice crust (i.e. it wasn't soggy from the veggies). It was so hearty we had leftovers! My daughter tried the tri-colored tortellini with pesto sauce (there was a choice of 3 or 4 sauces) and it was very good--pasta cooked al dente and sauce tasty but not overwhelming.
