Marco’s Pizza is an authentic Italian pizza company that has been passionate about quality since first opening its doors in 1978. What began as a small pizza shop in Ohio has grown into one of the nation’s largest and most beloved pizza brands, with nearly 1,000 locations across 34 states.
Our Story
It all started when Italian-born Pasquale “Pat” Giammarco brought his life’s treasures – authentic Italian recipes and a romantic story of coming to America – to the Columbus area. He established the first Marco’s Pizza and set the foundation for our brand with a commitment to making exceptional pizza with only the finest ingredients.
Handcrafted Quality
At Marco’s, quality is more than just a buzzword – it’s a way of operating. We concentrate on using only premium fresh ingredients and preparing each pizza entirely by hand. Every pizza features our authentic old-world dough made from scratch each day, and our signature sauce made from a family recipe of sweet and vine-ripened tomatoes. Our pizza makers top each creation with generous portions of premium meats and fresh-never-frozen vegetables.
Constantly Innovating
While steeped in Italian pizza traditions, Marco’s is never complacent. We continue expanding our menu with new flavor profiles and bold innovative offerings. From our mouth-watering Specialty pizzas to our fresh-baked subs, savory chicken wings, Cheezybread, and more, we aim to satisfy every appetite with delicious, handcrafted options.
Growing Legacy
Today Marco’s remains grounded in its pizza roots while embracing innovation and continuous growth. Our rapidly-growing franchise is dedicated to delivering an exceptional experience every time while staying true to our Italian heritage, handcrafted recipes, and community-focused hospitality. As we expand to new neighborhoods, we warmly invite guests to discover the taste of authentic Italian pizza perfected by Marco’s Pizza.
