I have a friend who lives by Bethesda. When I told him we're were in DC he invited us here. We took the redline to Bethesda and walked about 10-12 minutes. The restaurant is a nice neighborhood pizzeria with friendly service. They do Neapolitan style pizzas. Sizes are perfect for 1-2 people. My wife went with the Solo Carne and I went with the Capricciosa. I liked the Capricciosa, but didn't love it. I preferred the Solo Carne and the Americana, which I got to try as well. Those I'd recommend. I'd also recommend the burrata salad. Our son liked his cheese pizza. read more

Came with friends for dinner here and enjoyed it. For apps, we shared the caponata bruschetta and suppli al telefono. Both were only 3 pieces each, but tasty. The bruschetta was served cold. Unexpectedly sweet and deep flavor. Could eat a bowl of the rice balls... For pizza, we shared spinaci and salsiccia. The spinach one was ok. Not quite as good as the sausage one which had the perfect balance of classic flavors. The spinach overpowered the entire pizza. There was a lot of things I wanted to try though so would definitely come back. While I was treated this first visit, the prices are definitely on the high end, especially when it comes to portion sizes. 3.5 stars because of that. read more

This is a very nice place, I'd almost say it's fancy, but it's ok to dress casual. They have an assortment of Italian foods in the menu, I had the pizza. It was loaded with fresh ingredients, very flavorful, but I'd say it's artisan pizza. It was very good, but I prefer NY style pizza. Staff was very nice and helpful explaining the menu. Nice spot for a date night. read more

Cozy neighborhood gem with pizza oven and awesome desserts. Good service, has a decent happy hour.

Love this place! Perfect dinner: creative pizzas (esp pesto), refreshing salads, fantastic cannoli and cappuccino.

Great food. We loved the white pizza and the beet salad with pomegranate was really good. We also liked cheese panzatoties. They were tasty and for the account of cheese was not really greasy! read more

Amazing neopolitan style pizza in bethesda, the pizza was delicious, fresh, and authentic. The staff was friendly but a bit slow, but it's ok. The pizza is that good! The overall atmosphere of the place was alright nothing stood out. The peperoni pizza is my go-to pizza when I go for neopolitan style, and I recommend the americana Pizza here! read more

This pizzeria is very popular, but I thought it was okay. I came here with my husband and some friends on a Saturday evening. The place was busy, but we must've gotten there just in time for dinner because we got a table right away with no reservation. Although it was busy, our server tried her best to get our orders in right away. My husband and I ordered Marco's balls (meatballs with tomato sauce) for our appetizer and shared the Solo Carne pizza (tomato-based pizza with pepperoni, sausage and salame). The meatballs were pretty good. Flavorful, but it was a pretty small portion for $9.50. The pizza itself was okay. The mozzarella and the meat toppings were good, but the crust did not hold up well. It ended up getting quite soggy, which was not a texture I enjoyed. I googled to see if Neopolitan pizza is supposed to be this way (a little wet) and it looks like it is. Just a heads up for people who may not like that sort of texture. read more

Pizzeria Da Marco - Solo carne pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Last I checked, all money is just currency. We're to far advance to walk in restaurants that feel unwelcoming! The waitress didn't want to sit us near any others. We opt for the bar, asked if food is being served. Ordered our food the waitress was very short in conversation. Made sure we knew, they didn't want to serv6 the African American Citizens. 45 min for appetizer. 3 meat balls. Which were delicious! Another 45 minuted for a Calzone that was burnt, and had no cheese. We left before even seeing it. The waitress just took my receipt and place it on the counter, walked away....10 thumbs down, and will post this on all social media platforms!!! If it's not about the money, then get out of here, we wanted food, your owner needs to pay the bills... read more

My wife and I came here a couple months ago on a Saturday night after my haircut appointment nearby and we were very impressed. We ordered the Funghi and Capricciosa Pizzas without ham and had half of them leftover to bring home. We also got some drinks including a honey bear one and a dessert Prosecco. The service was great and the prices were very reasonable. The ambiance is nice too and looks upscale but also family friendly. We look forward to returning. read more

Passed by the place so often and finally made the time to try it, however my party and I were really let down despite some of the reviews we've read. The focaccia had an almost burnt aftertaste and was not pleasant, and looked extremely flat compared to the other focaccia's I've had in the past. The calzone was fine, although I wished it was cooked a little bit more, and the dough fell apart way too easily. The biggest letdown was probably the Spinaci pizza (mozzarella, spinach, pancetta, garlic & ricotta). Despite all the lovely ingredients, I felt like I was just biting into cheese, and I envisioned the pancetta to be darker and crispier (almost thought it was raw for a second). Now, the garlic on the pizza was in fact raw and not cooked at all. As someone who loves garlic, this was a disappointment. The service was really awesome though, everyone was super sweet! Sad to say that the food did not live up to our expectations. read more

Sadly, I am not a fan. Four of us friends lunched there, and the others seemed to like what they ordered. Not me. I ordered the DaMarco chicken salad which was supposed to have included grapes & pistachio nuts. The slices of chicken breast were dry & tough. Before I returned it, I looked through the salad & found half a grape & no pistachio nuts. I ordered the Mediterranean salad which, to its credit, did come with something more than lettuce and chicken but, alas, the chicken was still tough. That was as my first time there and, for me, it's one and done. read more

Went here the first night we got to town, the patio was exactly what we were looking for to enjoy dinner. We got some appetizers and pizza and everything was yummy! 4/5 because it wasn't the best pizza but service was quick read more

What a delightful surprise! Recently, it appears a vast number of establishments have a hard time providing good service while maintaining a level of quality food/experience. I found this to be untrue at pizzeria da Marco. The service was superb and the food was pretty amazing. Wish I had taken photos of the aftermath because there was not one morsel of food left on our plates. Another thing of note is how many of the patrons here seemed to be regulars and knew the folks running the place like family. We had the stuffed peppers, arugula salad, bolognese sauce pasta, and the solo pizza. So yum! read more

Eggplant Parm was terrible. They now charge you for bread on the table. They also charge you % for using your credit card.

We came here for dinner after reading some reviews, but it wasn't 4 star experience. The server didn't help us so we had to ask some walking servers to order main and desserts. Our server didn't refill water too. The foods were decent. The caprese and insalata mista (salad) arrived pretty quickly and were both fresh and tasty. We got simple margarita pizza, which was thin crust, simple and good, but nothing special. We also got cocktail (I think Mamma Mia), affogato, and cannoli, and everything was pretty good, but I feel a bit overpriced in general. read more

The pizza pie was savory and fulfilling. It came with tasty tomato sauce, tender sausage, sautéed red onions, mozzarella, Basil and roasted peppers (yum!). It was the perfect size for two people. APPETIZERS * Mini Sweet Peppers * Delicious red peppers, stuffed with flavorful sausage, parmesan and breadcrumbs; roasted to perfection and accompanied by a slightly sweet tomato sauce. It was absolutely delicious. * Suppli Al Telefono * Rice balls with Fontina, parmesan and mozzarella. These deep fried rice balls had the perfect balance of crisp texture that wasn't as hard (crispy) as a mozzarella stick however gave me a similar vibe as one. The flavor of the Fontina was chef kiss. SERVICE: The service was excellent. We arrived fifteen minutes prior to opening on a Friday afternoon, however Eric was kind enough to let us in early. We're grateful he did because we dubbed this Pizzeria our favorite. Eric shared his favorite items on the menu and his recommendations did not disappoint. He checked on us frequently, our waters were always topped off and we enjoyed a few short conversations with him. Thanks Eric for the laughs, great service and recommendations. I believe the food tasted that much better with his company. LOCATION/FACILITY: Located off Woodmont Avenue between St. Elmo and Cordell Avenue. PARKING: Street parking and a small parking lot across the street. Double check availability and parking restrictions as there are different businesses surrounding the parking lot. SEATING: Indoor and Outdoor seating PAYMENT METHOD: Cash, card SUMMARY: Pizzeria Da Marco is my new favorite. Eric was amazing. All the appetizers sounded yummy, making it tough to decide what to get. Eric was nice enough to share his favorites which we went with and they were absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back and enjoy more items on the menu. We didn't leave room for dessert however we'll definitely be back and will be ordering Tiramisu. read more

Stopped in a couple times to have some food and drink. Ate at the bar mostly to enjoy the happy hour menu. Onto the food. Ordered some panzerotti to try, pizza and a house made pasta. Pizza came out to order, closer to the middle of the pie is softer. The pasta was good. Aperol, spritz, generally four parts Prosecco, three parts Aperol and some seltzer, a nice red/orange color when mixed, my drink was o.k. The photo is the drink I had. Came out slightly watery. Price point for downtown Bethesda is o.k. Staff is polite and parking is hit or miss on the street and plenty of public nearby. read more

I'd passed by this place many times, and finally tried it when my family was staying in a hotel down the street. First, the ambiance and the service are great. Even though they were very busy, we were seated and served right away. Our sever was friendly and very attentive. I hope that perhaps we caught them on a bad night, because the pizza was disappointing. As soon as my youngest son picked up his first slice of pizza, Ann the toppings slid off into the pan. The same thing happened to me and my eldest. We all found that our pizza crusts were soggy at the center. It was to the point that we couldn't just pick up a slice and eat it. We had to start with a knife and fork for the soggy portion, until we could pick up the rest. Mind you, it tasted great. The sauce was delicious, and the toppings were quite tasty--it's just that they ended up in the pan instead of on the crust. The thing is, no matter how good the toppings are, the whole pizza suffers if the crust isn't up to snuff. Like I said, maybe they were having a bad night. I'd be willing to give them one more chance. read more

This is our first time coming here as a family. The food was amazing. We had such a wonderful waiter who was kind enough to help me pair a good beer with a pizza tonight. The service was great and quick and the quality was amazing. read more

Was Pizzeria Da Marco good? Yes. Was it worth driving nearly 60 minutes in DC traffic? No. I've been wanting to try a Neapolitan style pizza place in the NOVA/DC area, and the reviews and photos for Pizzeria Da Marco looked good. I expected to have to wait since I didn't have a reservation and it was a Friday-night in Bethesda, MD, however, I was surprised that my SO and I were able to be seated immediately. It took a few minutes for our waitress to first stop by, and she was in and out of contact fairly infrequently after that. It really only affected us when it came to running out of water (small glasses) and getting/paying the check. We split an appetizer of their suppli al telefono and a brussels sprouts pizza. The suppli al telefono were fairly sizeable, came out at the right temperature, and were flavorful. However, it would have been a lot better tasting and looking presentation-wise if it was served with maranara sauce. The pizza came out fairly quick, and it had a good presentation, solid crust crisp, and was nice and hot. The sausage and the brussels sprouts went very well together. I failed to realize it was a white pizza (aka no maranara sauce) until I was almost done eating it which is good since I'm usually not a fan of white pizzas. Definitely would recommend. Overall, it's a nice spot to get Neapolitan style pizza and to try something new (or something comforting you're craving). I'd say it's worth a 20-30 minute drive, but not anything longer. read more

Solid personal pizza (if you're super hungry). I got the special pizza of the day and it was good (white sauce, and some kind of meat I forget). However, my wife's pepperoni with mushroom tasted way better and I wish I had ordered that instead. Also got a mojito and it was refreshing but not very sweet. Glad I got to try them out. read more

After COVID I am trying to connect with friends and we agreed that this was a good middle ground for all of us. Had a great time and the food was also great. They use double zero flour which makes it much lower in gluten content and yummier. As I am gluten intolerant, I really cannot eat much of this but it has been a year since my last pizza and I brought a handful of gluten pills to help. It was worth it. As my nephew said, "this is the best pizza I have ever had, and I'm not even lying" They have other dishes of course, and all of them authentic Italian. This is only one of three pizza places with double zero flour in the DMV and only this place and one other in DC use wood burning brick ovens. Really worth a try. read more

How did we miss this place for so long? We are pizza snobs from NY (sorry!) and sometimes feel a bit disappointed by DC pizza. But this pizza is amazing, reminding us of our recent trip to Rome. The margarita is perfect, crisp crusts and simple ingredients. We had the white pizza too, amazing. Pizza with pesto was a bit oily, which I guess happens sometimes with pesto. But still delicious. Looking forward to going back to try more, but so far, we are very happy with our pizzas from Da Marco! read more

We learned of Pizzeria Da Marco through a colleague and have been loyal customers for years. Their fresh ingredients and also the customer service it is what keeps us coming back. Their meatball appetizer is delicious and their supply al teléfono is a must. We love ordering the Burrata salad, the Margherita pizza, the Americana Pizza and always pair it with a good Red wine. Hands down to their tomato sauce, it is a true statement to their pizzas and side dishes. read more

I love this place!! The happy was amazing. I dat at the bar with a friend of mine and had the happy hour wine, this toasted bread app with veggies on top was to die for!!!

While living down the street for 4 years, this was our weekly date spot. We had our rehearsal dinner as well as our medical school graduation dinner here to share one of our favorite places with our families.

It's challenging to find pizza this good anywhere else! read more

We've been going to DaMarco since it opened. We've had most of their specials and many different combinations of pizza toppings. This place is the best pizza in the DMV area. Not only does it have a wonderful atmosphere but the staff is super friendly and makes an effort to remember their customers and make them feel special. Our favorite pizza is the Burrata Con Pesto with mushrooms. It's absolutely perfect! We also get the panzanella salad which is offered in the spring and summer. It's the perfect balance of toasted bread, olives, cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes and red onions with salt, pepper and olive oil. If we're really hungry or go with a larger group we'll start with the grilled vegetables, burrata and crostini. It's such a great way to start your meal. We frequently go on Wednesdays when wine is half price. It's such a wonderful restaurant with exquisite cuisine, atmosphere and staff. We love taking our family and friends there and everyone has always been impressed with the quality of their cuisine. read more

Amazing pizza specialized place!!!!! Very much authentic Italian food and they have sooo many specials thru out the week. They have happy hour till 10pm on Monday and Tuesday And half off wine bottles on Wednesday. We ordered a red wine for $17. We also had the margherita pizza for $7 during happy hour. We also ordered the bruschetta which was great it has cherry tomatoes cut in half. The mini sweet peppers are small the plate comes with about 6. But they were delicious. The arugula salad is tasty just order it with light cheese. They have different wine events throughout the month. Joshua and Ronny are amazing bartenders and their service was impeccable. They made sure we were treated like regulars! I can't deny the food was amazing. I will definitely be back here. read more

We had the Americana pizza. The dough is crispy and has a small bit of the wood oven, which is delicious. The pepperoni is the small little cups that I always get in nyc - it's salty and meaty and so good. And the sauce is delicious!! My only small complaint is that the pizza was a little too cheesy and we asked for extra basil and didn't feel we got it - it appeared to have a normal amount of basil and we just like a lot. Best pizza I've had in the area. I will definitely go back. It was amazing!! read more

I absolutely love the food and the service. I've been going since it opened it's doors. My only suggestion would be the choice of music playing in the restaurant. It should be completely different. Maybe something more authentic than Under The Bridge. Just a thought. read more

Omg, quite frankly the best pizza I've had in a while! Service and food were fast and easy. We got the Roman and Classica bruschettas and Arugula salad to start. Great portions for the price.
