When Mark Hedford and Brad Martell opened their first Martolli’s Hand Tossed Pizza in Sisters, they offered pizza by the slice from the beginning. They now operate Martolli’s in two locations in Ashland — at 38 E. Main St., near the Plaza, and 1469 Siskiyou Blvd., in the Market of Choice shopping center. They sold the Sisters store when they came to Ashland in 2010.

The slice option is still working for Martolli’s, appealing to tourists looking for a quick grab-and-go bite, and locals with a short lunch break. A very large slice is priced at $2.75 and $3.25 for cheese or pepperoni, respectively, and up to $3.75 for a combo. Customers often pair a slice with a side salad and soda for $8, choosing from a variety of pizzas in the display case at the front counter.
