It's super greasy. Like, shockingly so.

To set the scene, I walked into Marcos at about 12:30 today. It was sort of cloudy and humid. As I walked in the door, I spotted a worker named Jared. I had seen him working there before, but this time something was off. The place reeked of grease, and when I saw him I knew exactly why ... his hair, was drenched in nasty grease. I was distraught, wondering what I walked in to. I nearly threw up looking at this foul demon. The spawn of something impeccable, was staring at me deep into my soul. At one point I thought he was going to blast me with his disgusting grease cannons, removing me from this awful place. The molecular base of this human was filter by grease, it dripped from every crevasse in his body. I didn't know what to do, I stood there in silence hoping this hell hound of a human would rip my face from my body. I finally found the courage to ask for my simple yet exquisite pepperoni pizza. The look that this man gave me, should have turned me to stone at that very second. I don't know what got to him first, the grease or fucking Satan. He finally went to get my pizza, but as he went into the back, I heard the pizza scream for its life, begging this cheuksin to stop wrapping his greasy hair around his box. I was given the box and ran out of the door, that was the last time I ever set foot in a Marcos.

My favorite of the chain pizza joints. Like others mentioned; the old world pepperonis are next level.

I've been curious to try them when I'm in Puerto Rico because they've popped up everywhere the last few years there...but when I get a pizza craving I usually just default to Costco.

Better than the larger chains. Use their coupons though, paying full price is where they get you.

Damn it is good, but y'all were not joking about the grease. But these old world pepperoni are next level

The advertisements always make it look awesome, and it looked super appealing on the site... but yeah, super greasy. Like they just deep fried the pizza and threw it in a box. And that box was being stored in a pool of grease.

I never heard of them but apparently there is one a few miles away. There are 20 other pizza places in a 2 mile radius though, most local. I'll keep it in mind though.

They are the best quality national chain pizza by a dramatic length, but also expensive. I wont say no to them, but I do usually skip them for either a cheap chain or a good local.
They usually have deals when ordering from their website. I just got a pizza from them a couple days ago and they had a 50% off deal on their website so a 6 topping pizza was like $12. They pretty much always have large 3 toppings for $9 too.

An Ohio original and definitely on the better end of the pizza chain spectrum. Old world pepperoni is fantastic as you learned and decent sauce. Solid pizza.

There is only one and it's about 12 miles from me. I'd have to eat it there, don't want to take it all the way home.

I only had them once like 3 or so years ago. I thought they were okay for what it's worth. About along the lines of your Dominos and Pizza Huts.

I think they're pretty decent. We switched over to them for a long while once our local Pizza Hut went completely down the drain, although nowadays there's a great place nearby called Pies and Pints.

Good to see it well received. One opened up near me a while ago but haven't tried it yet. Definitely gonna give it a shot now.

Use to love Marcos, but they changed around here. It's a pile of grease and they put parmesan crumbs all over the place.

Marco's was my go-to before I moved. Way better than the other chain places imo. But yeah waaayyyy to much grease so it was a once in a while thing.

Tried the Marcos that started nearby a few months ago and I could not believe how greasy it was... And I'm saying this as someone that doesn't mind Cici's.

Not the best logo to be honest. Gets the point across with the pizza, but a bit of a wild design with the M made only partially out of pizza.

One just opened in my town and my family already loves it, including my infamously particular son. Definitely better than Dominos, Pizza Hut, etc., although I'd say I like Round Table better as far as chains go. It would be nice if my town had any decent local pizza joints, but it's nice to have a new, tasty, option that's not quite as expensive as Round Table.
