There was a bit of a wait on a Thursday night but service was prompt & attentive once we sat down. The wings were very underwhelming & not very big. With a name that features their specialty, the wings should've been bigger and better quality. The celery was not very fresh...the ends were brown. The bacon Mac & cheese burger was pretty good & the potato wedges were amazing. My ultimate sampler was disappointing. The Hawaiian roll sliders were all bread with a tiny thin burger in the middle. Cauliflower wings were awful..very doughy...obviously came frozen out of a bag. Biggest highlight honestly were the potato wedges and beer battered onion rings.

I praised the cashiers up front for their professionalism, and extended my ongoing prayers for their ability to find better working conditions. Front line staff maintained a professional demeanor although, the manager ran around from the rear of the store the the lobby, where he was conducting an interview with a potential employee, as if he was under some type of drug or experiencing a mental health crisis. According to another patron, this type of atmosphere is common place at this location. I instructed my two young children to take a seat and remain calm. In today's climate, with all of the uncertainties, this is not a good feeling when attempting to enjoy a simple meal out!!! Again, the staff remained calm and repeatedly apologized for the manager's behavior!!! Go front line staff!!! Concerned parent, citizen, patron.

My first time at Marco's Pizza in Sanford. What a disappointment. While the pizza tasted ok, I was left wondering what I paid $32.89 for. As you can see, there is a full 2 1/2 inches (or more) of bare crust on the outside of the pie. The box of course shows toppings piled right to the edge. I did the math, a large (14") pie has an area of 154 square inches, take away the 3 inches of bare crust and you have 95 square inches, or basically a medium pie. When you figure the percentage, there is only 62% of the pie that has toppings. Lemme see, $32.89 x 62% = $20.39 or $12.50 for bare crust. Check out the Chicken pie, can you see any chicken? Look closely. Ahhh, there it is 5 tiny pieces spread over 3 slices. The pepperoni pie was equally void of toppings @ around $2.50 per item. I count 5 bits of sausage on half a pie...count for yourself. Can you say ripoff? This will be my one and only visit to Marco's I stopped by and told the manager about my experience. Stephanie made it right. I will be happy to give them another chance. read more

Somehow the pizzas were sticking to the pizza screens, so they had to re-make them. This set us back an additional 15 minutes or more so they threw in a medium pizza for free. (We were headed for a short road trip). I had to go in to get it after my husband had to run one of the children to the restroom. They explained everything to me with a smile,(even though I had already been updated by my hubby) and apologized for the inconvenience. Not once did they make me feel that I had done something wrong, like most employees that mess up do. Great pizza and great service. reserving one star because we had the Large Carryout 2 topping special for $5.99 and they were skimpy on the cheese even though the pizzas were pretty much cheese pizzas with 2 toppings being additional cheese blends. THe mushroom with onion was great though. Even though the medium 6 cheese was free, it too was skimpy on cheese. Usually the 6 cheese pizza is loaded with cheese and flavor. We didn't complain to them though we were just thankful to have our food hot and ready to go. When we order these at the regular $7.99 weekday price, the pies have more cheese.

Flavors were still there and I enjoyed them that night and in the morning for breakfast. Next time I'll ask for a generous amount of cinnamon sauce.
