Marco Roma

I like the food at this place, really, I do. I’ve been here numerous times and I’ve come to love their foccaccia sandwiches. I’ve had the pizza here a few times, meh, there are much better options in the area, Lous, Giordanos, and Viccinos to name a few.
Most recently, I decided to switch it up and order the pasta with red meat sauce. Since protein is an important part of my diet, I also order 2 meatballs on the side for 3 $ (They’re big meatballs). The order was carryout, and when I returned with the order (for myself and five coworkers, granted) there were no meatballs.
Oh well, I always keep a chicken breast handy so that made up my protein game. However, what if I had no extra chicken? I’d have to eat a meal with meager protein value, not my style. When I called to complain, the manager offered to deliver the meatballs. I have a 40 minute lunch break, and had already eaten the pasta, so this was no good, but somewhat thoughtful. Brazenly, I requested a sandwich to make it right. The manager balked at the idea of this, because a sandwich is an 8 $ value and the meatballs were 3 $ so he credited 3 $ to my account for the next order. I was disappointed with this olive branch since I dont believe my meal being utterly disappointing due to lack of protein was taken into account. This is not a zero sum game. At the very least, in my opinion, a refund is deserved. However, I got nothing more to make up for my less than enjoyable meal. Hence 3 stars.

Came across marco roma through Unilocal.Had a personal deep dish pizza delivered (came in 30 min). Fresh Ingredients and it wasn’t heavy like u expect a deep dish to be. It was a ‘light’ deep dish compared to lou malnatis and giordanos. Would order again.

Read reviews, tried the chicken parm ehhhh if you want authentic Italian try someplace in the city. Clean, nice little place but the food was just ok

Great! Home cooked Italian food on the North Shore. I love the friendly staff and the family owned small restaurant. We ate in the restaurant which was nice — table service was prompt and polite. While we were there the delivery driver kept coming and going. They were busy for deliveries — AND we got excellent service! My kind of place. I cannot wait to go back!

When Marco Roma first opened, we were not impressed. We tried them again about a year later and are now raving fans. The Margherita pizza is wonderful — in fact everything is fresh and delicious

We order Marco Roma pizza for delivery often for my family. I prefer the thin crust pizza at Marco Roma to any other thin crust pizza in the area. The pizza is always fresh and delivery is always timely. Last night my family decided to go to Marco Roma for dinner. It is a small establishment, but it had plenty of room for the number of parties that came into the door. My husband and I got a salad to start and then sandwiches which were both delicious. I had the meatball sandwich and thought it was very good. The kids got a pizza which they always love. The food came out very quickly and perfectly hot! The only downside is that my husband would have loved a beer with his meal and they don’t serve any booze. It is another great option for dining in with the family.

Great deep dish pizza. We like it better than Lou Malnati’s and Giordano’s — specifically the crust is much crisper — doesn’t get soggy/​greasy. We get the Tutto Carne.

A local pizzaria that provides excellent quality, and is a definite cut above the standard national chain type pizza. Never a disappointment. It would be a nice option to be able to order the pizza on their web site w/​o having to call; but you can’t have everything.

I love Marco Roma, the pizza is great and service is fast and friendly. I rarely steer away from the Rustica but when I do I’m never disappointed. The only reason they do not get five stars is because they never have coupons and I literally order every week, it would be nice to get a perk once in a while.

We were going to Wilmette beach last summer to have a picnic with our kids and wanted to grab some to-​go food in the area. The funny statue of a chef holding a sign outside of Marco Roma caught our attention so we decided to give it a try. The place had a cozy outdoor garden dining area and a modern design indoors. The menu was extensive and a variety of Italian beverages was a nice touch. We wanted to try the classic Chicago-​style deep dish but could not wait the time they quoted so we went with thin crust pepperoni and green olive pizza, a salad and two kids meals. Everything was delicious and they even brought it out to our car so I didn’t have to hang around the restaurant waiting. Definitely plan to order ahead and try the deep dish pizza the next time me take our trip to Wilmette beach.

I went here as a last minute quick lunch. I did not regret one minute of choosing this place.
It has the restaurant feeling with out being a restaurant. Food is always hot and service couldn’t be better!

If you are looking for comfy neighborhood, comfy place, comfy food with comfy people, go to Marco Roma.

The deep dish was such a pleasant surprise. My favorite combo — Italian beef and giardiniera. Marco came over and talked to us for a bit. His family has been in the pizza business for decades. Authentic Italian, down to earth, and friendly. A real neighborhood treat.

Staying at my sister’s house in Glencoe and was craving pizza or something like that. I looked on Unilocal to find somewhere to go. After reading the reviews for Marco Roma I decided to call and order a meatball sub to pick up. I was not at all disappointed. The staff in the restaurant as well as on the phone taking my order were very pleasant and the sandwich was really good. Maybe next time I will try pizza.
1 night later decided to try the pizza. My sister called to order. erroneously she ordered thin crust when we wanted Roma style crust. She literally called back not 2 minutes later to change the order. She was told by the manager that it was already in the oven and he couldn’t change it but asked if she wanted to cancel the order. What? So she could cancel the order for a cheese and pepperoni pizza which they had just put in the oven but they would not change her order so she could get what she wanted? Makes no business sense whatsoever. We cancelled the order and went somewhere else for pizza. It’s really too bad because I’m sure the pizza would have been good but their business practice is not.

Great Italian sandwich. Get it toasted on focaccia

Nice crust but nothing exquisite, this above-​average pizzeria has fast food seating and delivers to the area.
We enjoyed the thin crust, which the cashier recommended. The crust tastes remarkably homemade and old-​school, with just enough of a crunch to keep us wanting more, without being too crispy.
The chopped salad was a step better than good enough, and was exceptional in terms of this type of pizza place.
I wouldn’t go dine-​in again, yet I would certainly order it for home eating pleasure.

On our hunt for average tasting pizza in the area, we decided to try Marco Roma after being thoroughly disappointed with the degrading quality of another pizzeria in the neighborhood.
We ordered for delivery thin crusted pepperoni, margherita, plain cheese and ceasar salad with grilled chicken the first time around. I quite honestly did not expect anything great from this place but as soon as I took a bite of the margherita, I was momentarily transported to Napoli, Italy having my first bite of Da Michele’s margherita pizza on a train back to Sorrento. Yes! I found it to be that good! I have never set foot in this pizzeria and I don’t know if they make their pizza in wood burning brick oven but the crust was thin and chewy, the sauce was a perfect combination of sweet and tangy with flavors of roasted basil and a hint of smokiness.
The pepperoni and plain cheese pizzas were absolutely delectable as well. I can tell from the taste of the pepperoni that they used the premium kind. It tasted uncured (I’m sure its not), clean and just simply delicious!
Can it really compare to Napoletana pizzas? All I could say is that I found my new Friday pizzeria! Mangiare Bene!

Yummy in my tummy. Definitely try the fried ravioli, and the hot Turkey sandwich. Fresh ingredients and reasonable prices. Great place for lunch or dinner

This place continues to rock. Every single delivery order we place is perfect, fresh, tasty and FAST.

I had to speak at Hubbard Woods School today and arrived early so I needed some grub to hold me over. Used Unilocal mobile and found Marco Roma close by. Parking was on the street and lunch was fairly packed so parking could be an issue.
The smell was awesome!
I was craving for pizza, but didn’t have time to wait 20 minutes so I settled for a Turkey sandwich…
Well, I was very surprised that the turkey sandwich was not at all what I was expecting. It was a Toasted Focaccio turkey melt with all of the fixings. It was rather large but OH MY GOD was it good! The dressing dip on the side was a perfect addition to the sandwich.
While I was sad that I couldn’t get the pizza, I was still treated to a great sandwich!!!
The the pop machine was not working, so the employee gave us all cans of pop.
I HIGHLY recommend the sandwich’s as they all looked great and tasted like Heaven!
