Marco’s Pizza

I tried Marco’s for the first time last week. I am sad to say that I was not impressed. I had heard good things and really wanted to like it!
That said, I am probably the worst pizza snob. I think most New York ex-​pat transplants are… so, take this Yankee carpet bagger’s review with a grain of kosher salt…
I ordered two specialty pies to share at the office — the chicken and the veggie. What I received were two overly doughy pies with a decent amount of veggies on the veggie version and scant toppings on the chicken pie.
Things I prefer in a pizza — sauce that has flavor, a flavorful crust, and generous toppings. I realize that this is asking a lot from what is essentially mass market product. Basically, if you like Papa John’s pies, you will like Marco’s. If you boycott Papa John’s due to the owner’s politics. Marco’s should be your go to pizza place for a quick pie at a decent price.

Good pizza that I really like. They have salads that you can customize when ordering, but beware: almost half the time I get a salad they do NOT get ingredients correct (say no onions, there are onions, say green olives instead of black, there are black olives). I have even been given a completely different salad than I ordered on a couple occasions. They’re good salads, and I like that I can get a salad with pizza, but it is pretty annoying. I also just had an issue where I called in, ordered, and was told a price several dollars higher that advertised on the website (which I had open to get the phone number). I was told that was an online deal so I had to order online. I was calling to get my free salad replacement, since the last time I ordered they gave me someone else’s salad that was completely inedible to me, so I had to order on the phone. They refused to honor the online deal, despite the fact that the only reason I wasn’t ordering online was to replace their screw up. It wasn’t a big $ difference, but I shouldn’t have to get a more expensive pizza in order to get my replacement salad! What a joke. I like the food, but I’m pretty tired of all the salad screw ups and their inability to go out of the way for a (previously) loyal customer.

I’m giving Marco’s Pizza a 3.5 star, but not because I feel negative towards it — because I feel slightly above-​neutral towards it. As you know from elementary arithmetic, .5 rounds UP and not DOWN, so — we’re left with an actual 4 star. That’s the way it goes…
Among the «big corp» pizza outlets, Marco’s performs well. (In case folks from Marco’s home office are reading this — feel free to lift the following statement: «Marco’s pizza outperforms the likes of Pizza Hut, Papa John’s and Domino’s» — end the lift there, because I don’t think you outperform Little Caesar’s — I mean, c’mon. They have a drive-​thru window — AND $ 5. pizza. Beat that for a kids’ pool party!
But — back to Marco’s Pizza. The menu is good. The employees at this particular store are ALWAYS pleasant to work with. I like ‘em!

Honestly, I am a huge pizza fan and I was completely blown away about a year ago when my wife and I moved here to Tallahassee. We had just got the last of the uhaul unloaded and were starving. I had noticed on the way in a Marcos pizza not far up the road so I called in a large thick crust pepperoni and bacon pizza for pick up. I went up there 10 – 15 minutes after I called them, and to my surprise it was waiting on me when I walked in the door. Words cannot describe how excellent that pizza was. I never new pizza could be that exquisite but it was and I am telling you that Marcos pizza is completely authentic ingredients and the best pizza under $ 20 ever.

Tastes like a pizza for sure, ingredients are piled high like digiorno which is good if your hungry, crust was good enough to finish. Overall it’s better than cicis comparable to hungrie howies when they make it fire. Not the best pizza I’ve ever had and not the worst. Give it a shot or don’t, it’s good pizza but your not missing out. I’ll still go grab a local pie if pressed, but would also eat here again.

Best pizza ive had in a Long time. Sausage was amazing and the meat lovers was the best I’ve had.

The best dine in/​carry out chain in Tallahassee. If you have a crowd and you need good Pizza, you can’t go wrong with Marco’s.

This is the best pizza I have had in years. The pizza was delivered fast and was piping hot. We had a classic crust pepperoni and the cheese was deliciously stringy and authentic, the sauce was perfect as was the crust. The driver was courteous and frienldy and didnt try to bang the door down like some delivery drivers do! Try them, you wont be disappointed!

Last pie from Marco’s was burned and not good. Experience had shown me they could do it right, so, after two «Where have you been» letters from the owner, I called for her. Not there I learned. The Person I told my story to extended no empathy. This time the pie artisans got it right, however. Excellent basic pizza with mushrooms and green sweet bell peppers. Really good.

ordered online for pick up in an hour. the web site is solid. ordered stuff and when i got to the check out I had it all the way to submit the credit card info, and then went back and changed food and searched for a coupon (found one at adMax that worked… $ 4 off of $ 20 or more is a good one.), used that and then got checked out with no trouble at all.
Everything was ready when i showed up. salad was all good. iceberg lettuce but at least it was fresh, clean, cold, and crispy. meatball sub was good. extra sauce and extra cheese might make it excellent. Crispy Thin Cheese Pizza Garden Pizza — with fresh tomato as one of the toppings is one of the better pies around. I have had a hundred pan pizzas from the competition (and love them) but, Marco’s Classic Cheese Pizza Meat Supremo with Old World Pepperoni is «As good as it gets!»
