You have to do some work to get a pizza from Marino’s. First of all, they don’t advertise. They also don’t deliver or work with any third-party delivery company. And they don’t take credit cards. If it’s a Friday or Saturday night, you’ll have to wait up to two hours for your pie. Nevertheless, Marino’s has no trouble selling pizza.

You know Marino’s. It’s been in the same location on State Street in Schenectady since 1970, the year Mario Marino founded the business. It used to share space with an insurance agency. He bought the space. He expanded the back of the building and bought the neighboring properties on State Street, and put in a parking lot.
