I've only been there once shortly after they opened and it was almost the worst excuse for pizza I'd ever experienced. Far worse than Domino's, Pizza Hut, Popa John's, and even worse than Cici's and Little Ceaser. I just filed them away in my mind as a Gumby's knock-off and never went back.
But if that chain is supposed to be better than that I'll give them a second shot. Do you have any recommendation of what they are supposed to be good at if they are up to the chain standards you've experienced?
Wow. You definitely had a bad experience because Marco's
should rank higher than Domino's, Little Caesar's, Hungry Howie's, and Cici's.
Personally, I've had problems with Marco's too, but I've also gotten excellent pizzas from them. They might be the equivalent of the girl Seinfeld dated (on the show) who was hot or ugly depending on the lighting.
I'd put them in line with Papa John's. Both of them have that dry crust, but Marco's doesn't have that flour on it that Papa John's does.
Marco's biggest problem, imho, is that they're not adapting quickly enough. Both their menu and their website show a lack of creativity, innovation, and attention to detail. For example, you can't surf their menu because a pop up appears asking how you'd like to get your order. I'm not placing a fucking order, I just want to see your menu!
When I order from Marco's I get a large thin crust with pep and Italian sausage with extra sauce.
Do you guys have Vito's down there?
