Marco’s Pizza

I had a pretty good coupon ($ 8.99 for a large two-​topping pizza) so I thought I’d give this place a try. Giving my order over the phone was like trying to communicate with a customer service rep from Bangladesh. The girl was obviously American, but she seemed to have a heck of a time comprehending what I was saying. My order wasn’t complicated: a large pizza with hand-​tossed crust, mushrooms, and green olives, and a small garden salad. But I literally had to repeat every single part of the order at least three times. When I arrived to pick up my order, I realized why. The girl who waited on me (and I’m pretty sure she was the same one who took my order) had glassy, bloodshot eyes and was moving in super slo-​mo. My pizza was pretty good, but it had green peppers (blechh!) instead of green olives. I’m not going back there unless they start drug testing their employees.

This is good pizza that we have delivered. Sometimes it’s really amazing and sometimes it’s really average. The order has never been messed up. Overall, I’d say this is good enough pizza. It’s one of the better pizzas around here. You might get lucky and get a really good pizza, but I don’t know what the trick is. It probably depends on who’s working. I haven’t noticed anything having to do with time of day or something. It’s fairly cheap, so it won’t hurt you to try it. Also, it’s better than disgusting chain pizza, like Dominos and Papa John’s. Like if I have a bite of one of those, I’ll spit it out. It’s about as good as Larosa’s pizza, but it tastes completely different.

This location is the best! Order is quick & always right. They always have great deals and many times offer me a better deal than the coupons I have.

When I think of pizza, this is the only place I’ll EVER recommend to anyone.
Their sauce and dough is made fresh daily. Their toppings are also cut fresh daily. The only thing I would stray away from is their mushrooms (they’re canned; I prefer fresh), but that’s corporate, not their personal preference.
I’ve never seen a place offer crust toppers. «What’s a ‘crust topper’?» you ask. Basically, they put garlic butter on the crust, and you have the option of putting Parmesan, Roma seasoning, or combining them. I always request all three. YUM! I’ve been to pizza restaurants where the crust was always hard. Marco’s prevents that with oiling the crust before putting it in the oven.
My favorite pizza was called a White Cheesy. The white sauce was garlic butter and parm, topped with cheese, tomato, onions, feta cheese, and bacon. It’s an odd combination, but amazing! (Of course, if you like feta. I LOVE IT.)
You can’t miss the cheesy bread when you come in here. Most places do frozen, Marco’s is made fresh to order. They use regular pizza dough, cut it, top it with cheese, throw it in the oven, and top it with garlic butter and that Parm/​Roma seasoning I mentioned earlier. I prefer to dip it in ranch or garlic butter, but it comes with marinara (it’s also popular).
Marco’s is really good with timing, so if they tell you 15 – 20 minutes, they mean it. Of all the times I’ve been here, it’s always been wonderful.
Bottom line, they never have disappointed me :)

This pizza is great! I love the sauce much better than Larosa’s and the price is better. Wake up Larosa’s there is a new pizzeria in town.

I found nothing special about this pizza at all. They deliver, that’s fine, they have cheap specials, that’s fine, but if any one ever says «let’s get pizza», no one I hang with ever says «how about Marcos?» I find it very middle of the road to bland, perfect for folks with young kids I guess. Me, if I want to go fast and cheap I’d take Little Ceasar’s any day, and not so cheap, OK, I’d make my own a that point, I’m still looking for a knock me out pizza to come to Cincinnati.

Marco’s is wonderful pizza to take home or dine in. We recently discovered the Anderson location on Beechmont. We were lured in by the Big Square Deal, a large (square) pizza with 1 topping for $ 7. The pizza crust is basically garlic bread, with topping of choice and generous amount of cheese. It’s great if you like thicker crust pizza.
Another delicious offering is the CinnaSqaures. The same thick pizza dough brushed with butter, cinnamon sugar, and a side of icing. Irresistible when they’re hot, and still very good heated up the next day!
High recommendation for Marco’s. We’ll definitely be back for both pizza and CinnaSqaures.

This is a nice change from Papa John’s or Dominos. The Regular (non-​thin) crust is very well made and tasty. The pizza is more well-​done then competitors. The Pepperoni pizza was very good; so was the Sausage pizza but I would have liked more sausage on it. They have a national special going on for $ 6.99 — large square pizza. We had that previously and it was very good — the crust is just a little thinner.
Make sure you have coupons (which are plentiful); otherwise a large 1 topping pizza is about $ 12. They occasionally have an $ 8.99 large 1 topping special; but you must ask for it when the signs are posted on the grass. They have a small area to eat in. Staff was very friendly. Have done carryout every time.
