SHORT VERSION
This Marco's store has decent pizza and good cheezy bread, but everything else falls flat on it's face and is in fact disgusting. They are severely overpriced (large 1 topping pizza and 10 wings costs $23 for pick up...)
They are constantly understaffed, only having one person answer phones while simultaneously supposed to be servicing customers that walk up to the counter. This leads to long wait times when all you want to do is pay and get the heck out of there.
There food is sloppy, inconsistent, and takes longer than it should to make.
LONG VERSION
I felt compelled to write this review after seeing only 4 total reviews, where most were rated highly. My wife enjoys Marco's pizza...but unfortunately I'm stuck with actually having to go there and pick up the food.
Anyways, I've given this pizza store numerous opportunities to prove me wrong but I am just constantly given poor service and often times...bad food.
My first poor experience was when I ordered delivery. I ordered online and they brought me a hoagie with the wrong sauce on it...mushroom sauce. Frustrating to say the least...and all hoagies are presumed to have pizza sauce unless specific to have mushroom sauce...so I don't know why someone made it that way?
Well I was frustrated but I shrugged it off over time, as I typically do. I complained and they offered me a free pizza next time I ordered...next time I ordered I ordered a large pizza and they made me pay. I ended up paying because I'm a polite person like that and I do not like complaining.
Next I ordered a pizza and some salads for the parents and my wife when they were over one night. They forget to include dressing for the salad...so I have to go back and get the dressing = frustrating.
Next time I ordered a hoagie and pizza to be picked up. I went there and picked up everything, got home, only to find a hoagie that was soaked in a little paper bag full of pizza sauce. It was disgusting - I had to cut nearly a quarter of the sub off so that I could eat the rest. It was also the worst hoagie I've ever had in my life...unless you include frozen hoagie's from the grocery store that is. It was simply tasteless, that's the best description.
Next, I ordered my wife the pizza with the cheezy bread...the cheezy bread is why I have to keep ordered Marco's pizza as my wife loves it. Well I got home with it, and they just gave us regular bread, no cheezy bread...so it was bland and gross, just like eating bread from my loaf in the fridge.
Next, I ordered some pizza and some wings. I used to work at a pizza shop so I know it only takes 15 minutes to make and cook a pizza and 7-8 minutes for wings. They told me 25 minutes for pick up...that's fine as lots of under staffed places will tend to overestimate the wait time...that way the customer will either not be waiting so long, or they will receive pizza that's been ready for 15-20 minutes and become less and less fresh by the minute.
Anyways, I get there, at the 25 minute mark, and I proceed to wait for 20 more minutes for a grand total of 45 minutes...which is how long many places can deliver in. I was given no apology, nothing. Just a "sorry for your wait". I said ok and left like any person that doesn't complain much.
Once I got home, I realize that they had made the pizza bread, then the pizza likely 10 minutes later, and then wings likely another 10 minutes later. The bread was old it looked like, the pizza was hot, and then the wings were still hot.
When I opened the wings, they were lathered in BBQ and were soft to the touch and mushy. It was disgusting. I literally looked at my wife, gave her a few choice words, and then tossed them in the garbage without so much as a bite or second glance.
I just ate pizza instead...which mind you had way too much cheese on it. (whatever, big deal).
So in summery, I've had a lot of issues with this Marco's location that ranges from incorrect orders, not giving me what I ordered, long wait times, sloppy food, etc.
I find that the only thing this store is good for, is pizza, and cheezy bread. Everything else they offer is cut rate and not very good. And to be honest, there are better pizza options than Marco's...many better places.
I've lived near this Marco's for 4 1/2 years, and I've had all the above bas experiences. When someone wrong happens this often, I find it insane to believe that they will not continue to happen.
If you opt to buy Marco's pizza, just buy the pizza or cheezy bread, if you buy anything else, you will be disappointed. read more
