Marco’s Pizza

Stopped in for a sandwich recently and ordered a turkey club. Took forever for my order even though I was the only one in the shop. Finally got my sandwich and it was nicely toasted, but that was about the only thing it had going for it. Rest of it was just bland and unremarkable.
This was my first visit and maybe I’ll try their pizza sometime, but certainly won’t be going back for a sub.

I’ve never seen such a thin crust on a thin crust pizza. I can actually eat it on my low carb diet. It’s a little bit salty, but otherwise really good and they bring the toppings really far out on the crust so it’s just enough to hold the piece with.

Yummy, pizza is delicious and deep dish was cooked perfectly.

I really like Marco’s pizza. This place is only a carryout/​delivery location. You cannot dine in here and that’s fine with me. I prefer to grab and go anyway. There cheesy bread is AMAZING. We were way later than we anticipated in picking it up and it was still piping hot. We enjoyed their meat supremo and were very impressed by the size of the sausage pieces they put on top. Reasonably priced…$ 15.99 for a large specialty pizza and order of cheesy bread and the service was very professional and friendly.

The pizza is just pizza. I really like that. Its simple; no bells and whistles. The sauce is just right, the cheese is not greasy and the crust is good. Also, their customer service is excellent. I get delivery from there and they have never gotten my order wrong or been late with delivery. If anything, they have been early. I work A LOT (to say the least) and there are a lot of nights and when I get out of work and the last thing I want to do is cook. Marco’s is quick, efficient, and I can even online order.
The online ordering system is awesome. There are a million options so you can get your pizza exactly how you want it.
I can be brutally honest; I prefer Flying Pizza. But they don’t deliver and Marco’s is a very satisfying second.

Serious question: Is there any review one can possibly remit other than a 1-​Star, when we place a takeout call to Marco’s for BOGO pizza Monday, and the girl who picks up the phone with «Marco’s Pizza, can I take your order?» doesn’t know what day it is (seriously), and doesn’t know the meaning of the term «Are BOGO Mondays still on at Marco’s»? (Buy One, Get One is the acronym breakdown…).
She asks the manager, with phone cupped in palm of hand, but not well enough: What day is today? And what’s BOGO? She then smartly rebounds (!) after the manager tells her what day it is (Monday, dammit!), and I hear him in the background explaining rapidly what BOGO stands for. But still unable to take our order due to unfamiliarity with the menu, she quickly hands phone to manager, as though 2 pieces of relevant info are just too much for a Monday night. Massive Information Overload.
Manager (or manager-​in-​training) then gets on phone and asks for my phone number; when I give him the correct phone number, he says (it’s true): «that phone number is not in our system, I’m not sure I can take your order with that number».
So, for future reference: if I walk in and order a pizza; and give you my credit card up front and let you charge it; and if I sit there patiently in plain sight while you cook it; and if I promise to not use a cell phone or read anything; would you please move forward with my order? I’ll give you my Ohio driver license if it will help with the processing aspects. And, I promise, nay, I swear, I won’t come in on BOGO Monday.
We fixed some nice bread, cheese, olives and wine instead tonight. You guys wore me out. Never again.

Beware — if you order half toppings, they charge for a full topping for each. For example, if you order a pizza with half sausage and half pepperoni, you will be charged as if it were a 2 topping pizza, not 1 as every other pizza chain in the area. I normally do carry out but I wouldn’t be too surprised if they charge extra for delivery to a house with more than 2 stairs to the front door… who knows.
The promotions they run aren’t great. Other local chains are frequently running 50% off or a large any-​way-​you-​want for $ 10 but I seldom see comparable deals at Marcos. Given that I tend to order a lot of half toppings to please different family members it makes their pizzas even more expensive compared to the competition.
The flavor of their pizza is ok. I tend to prefer other local chains but will occasionally order from Marcos just for a change. I recently tried their square pizza and was surprised at how well it tasted. Very good and will come back for it again.
If you are in the Maineville area and don’t mind picking up and baking your pizza. I highly recommend Papa Murphy’s. Very customer oriented and very good toppings that that they are generous with. They will make me a pizza with ¹⁄₃ toppings at no extra charge. I doubt Marcos would every do that let alone without charging extra for it.

Visiting my parents in the exurbs… what to eat?! THIS.
We have experienced Marco’s twice now — both times we ordered the Old World Pepperoni New Yorker and Cheesy Bread.
The first time we tasted Marco’s, we were positively amazed at the taste — old world tastiness… the real magilla… Old School Pepperoni, yes, salty, spicy, crispiness that will amaze your tummy! You will swear that you are at a rustic Tuscan trattoria with the pungent aromas of strong cheese, cured meats, garlic, on a perfect thin crust. Mama Mia! The cheesy bread? This ain’t no fuggazi, fuggetaboutit. Ba da bing!
We were amazed at the quality and taste — and the price was even better.
We ordered again a week later and added the meatballs. Delicious. We had some issues with the second order (on a busy Friday night), but it was handled more professionally and fairly than any business I have ever seen. A store with integrity!
We will order again… and again!

I have been a loyal customer since the day they first opened, and I guarantee you that you won’t find a better pizza chain.

Marcos is super cheap and pretty good pie. We ahve ordered about 5 times now, mostly on a busy Friday night where pizza places usually tell you 1 hour to 1.5 hours, Marcos has delivered each time in under 30 minutes. We have been very happy with them every time. I do however recomend avoiding the wings, they were not good.
