Marco’s Restaurant & Pizzeria

Stupid overpriced and absolutely terrible quality in every single thing that they make. I’ve lived here for 10+ years and tried this place probably 50 times. Eff me, right? That’s how bad the choices are around here. Literally every single thing on their menu is garbage. I’ve had several conversations with my friends about how much effort they must put in to purposely putting out awful food. No one there cares about cooking or quality. Get your GD shit straight, Marco.
100% sure that this is a zero star establishment. They are only surviving because they are open up late and their location is ideal.
That said, the people that serve you there are nice.

I really like this place. Marco’s makes a great pizza. We stopped in to dine in their restaurant the other day. I hadn’t realized they had a sit down area. It is much bigger than I thought. The tables are large and seating is spacious, plus it is very clean. Their server was a super sweetheart who was on top of her game.
We had a ham and cheese pizza along with a margarita pizza. Both were excellent. The margarita was a definite favorite, not too much tomatoes, the right amount of cheese and basil. Just perfect! I look forward to stopping in again to try some of their other menu items.
Also, they do have a bar area if you would like an alcoholic beverage.

Got to try the pasta dinners… I’m a big fan of the chicken marsala dinner! Large portion too for the $.!

I’ve been a customer of this restaurant for 20 years, and unfortunately this past visit is probably my last. I find the food to be outstanding, but the level of service and condition of the property is reaching unacceptable levels.
For whatever reason, the waitresses refuse to write down customer’s table service orders. This has resulted in my order being completely wrong 3 of the 4 past visits. I have mentioned this to the waitress Cristy, the kitchen manager, and Marco himself (all very good people, by the way) yet the errors continue. I realize mistakes happen, but a 75% failure rate is not good… especially when the problem can be fixed with a pen and pad of paper.
The other problem is that there is a patio area you must walk through in order to enter the restaurant. This area has been taken over by the local trailer park denizens that chain smoke cigarettes and slug down beer. When you finally make it into the restaurant, the creatures from the patio are entering the bar area every five minutes to partake in their evening meal 12 ounces at a time. This is absolutely fine if your goal is to have a craphole biker bar… but if you’re wondering why families are no longer coming to dine indoors, you have your answer.
Lastly, I’m not so sure Marco is spending much time overseeing operations anymore. It absolutely breaks my heart that I no longer want my friends and family to experience what is going on here.

I have given this restaurant its last chance. They will never get another dime from me or anyone who knows me. I would give it a ZERO star review if I could… Here’s why:
I have lived in Marietta for over a year. The day that I moved in I ordered 3 cheese pizzas and two 2 liters. My bill was absolutely ridiculous, but I needed to feed my movers and just didn’t bother questioning it. The next day I saw my credit card receipt and I was charged over $ 43 for the food. That’s ridiculous.
I never actually tried their pizza that day. We ordered a pie from them about a month later and it was gross. The crust was undercooked, swimming in sauce, and the cheese was barely melted.
The last straw was the day that we returned from vacation. We decided to get sandwiches and Marcos is the closest place for us. I placed an order online and showed up promptly to pick up. I stood at the counter for over 4 minutes before an employee came to the counter. The employee did not greet me. Instead, she picked up the phone and began taking an order.
Another customer entered the business to buy some beverages. He stood behind me in line. At this point the employee has been on the phone for 3 minutes. A waitress then greets the customer BEHIND me in line. The customer was respectful enough to direct the waitress in my direction.
After all of this headache, my order was STILL wrong. The employee who took the order misrepresented the sandwich that we ordered, stating that it came with vegetables that were not on the sandwich as it was made for me.

I’ve been a customer of Marco’s for almost a year now and went in today to get the «pizza special» …we saw our regular waitress (who is always very nice to us). Not realizing it was only 4:46 pm and the special didn’t start till 5:00 pm. She knew we were really good customers and was told that she would have to ask «Ron» in the kitchen if he would give us the pizza special. As we were standing there right at the kitchen window we heard a very loud guttural NO!!! …that was really really rude… i mean not to not nicely say that if we would be willing to wait we could get the pizza special. (I’m sure the pizza would take about 15 to 20 minutes to make and cook! To make a long story short we left and will never go back again… I’m sure we can find the many pizza shops in the area that are willing to be nice to me and my husband and take our money.

The staff is very nice. I have my food delivered most of the time, they are very prompt and courteous.

Consistently inconsistent. If there is one thing I want from a pizza shop it is consistency. Marcos does not have it. I have eaten at the restaraunt a number of times and have ordered delivery more times than I care to admit as Marcos was the only place that delivered to my home for quite some time… lazy happens. At times the food has been very good. But mostly the pizza is poorly made and undercooked. The sub’s are thrown together seemingly by someone who doesn’t care. They forget things all the time on delivery orders. Its frustrating to get pizzas where the crust is of varying thickness, with too much sauce, and the cheese is barely melted. Even if you can’t physically prepare the pizza properly it takes no skill to leave it in the oven for a sufficient cooking time. I had the misfortune of ordering a Delmonico once. I was not expecting greatness but was dumbfounded by the mystery meat they served me. Totally not edible and barely recognizable as beef. I tried my best to like this place because its so close to me and for the longest time was my only option. But now I have better options and plan to use them.

Pizza & food are Great! Staff is friendly and takes care of you needs. My wife and I enjoy going here when we don’t feel like cooking.

Ask for the house dressing to dip your apps in — great for pizza too!

It’s ok. Pizza wasn’t bad. Don’t order onion rings. Not so good. I got raw wings on an order so very reluctant to order again.

I’m torn with this review… my latest experience with Marco’s didn’t go so well. That said, I’ve eaten at this restaurant and ordered pizza from this restaurant multiple times and haven’t been disappointed with that.
So here’s what happened during my last experience… I placed an order for mild buffalo wings, BBQ wings, and cheese fries. I also ordered ranch and celery for the BBQ order… and bleu cheese and celery for the buffalo order.
Was the order ready quickly? Yes. Was the food pretty good? Yes.
The downside? When I arrived to pick the food up, my cheese fries were not included in my take out bag. I had to drive back to the restaurant to pick up my fries.
Another downer — the dressings and celery cost an additional $ 1.25 per order of wings. After paying $ 6.45 for 10 wings to begin with, you end up paying like 80-​cents per wing w/​the dressings.
Maybe I’m out of touch with the cost of eating wings? Ok, I might be willing to agree.
Maybe I should have looked closer at the menu before I ordered? Sure.
Either way, I wasn’t really thrilled with my last visit to Marco’s… and it was an inconvenience to have to go back to the restaurant to pick up the fries when it wasn’t my bad that I didn’t get them the first time.
Will I eat here again? Of course — the restaurant is like a mile from my house. Plus, the pizza is very good.
But was I happy with the pricing and the experience of my last visit? Not really.
