Always delicious. They have the best pizza sauce, it’s a little in the sweet side. We always get Maria’s when we are up visiting Dixon.

I'm wondering why this place has a lower rating than Angelo's. Maria's sauce is the best! Although the edges are good, the under crust could be crispier in my opinion. The thickness of the cheese varies. Sometimes they put too much cheese on it. I'm giving it a 5 because I think it's the best pizza in town.

Just moved to Dixon and tried Maria’s. The sauce on their pizza is amazing. It should be jarred and sold. The best pizza I’ve had in decades. We’ll be eating here often. The whole family agrees.
