Cheese pizza
Ally R.

Holy smokes! This is seriously the best pizza I have tasted in YEARS!! My family had to get new tires and strolled over to this pizza place. No idea what to expect-all I can say is the pizza was SO SO DELICIOUS! We ordered 1 medium pepperoni, 1 cheese and also a Deluxe pizza! They made it so quick and the flavor the taste was NOT lacking. The crust was incredibly fresh and not too heavy. Honestly you could just eat the crust by itself, that good! The marinara sauce was tasty and not overly seasoned, excellent flavor. The veggies on my deluxe were super fresh-onions and green peppers flavorful. We had plenty left over due to the enormous serving sides, even a small pizza had about 6-8 slices. Staff was friendly and aimed to please our experience. No kidding, this pizza place knows what the heck they're doing. I'm here for it! Lastly, the price is definitely a great value. In essence, you leave full with another meal to be heated up later! We WILL definitely be back and recommend this place -so so yummy!!!!!!

Looks like urs closed or business is slow only one non chalant pizza maker working on a Sunday night ?

Ridiculously nonchalant response about the handling of food improperly

I want to pick up Marco's Pizza for the very first time yesterday. I watched the two employees that were not cleanly looking to begin with make pizzas with bare hands as they touch their cell phones and ring people up and then went back to making the pizzas. I have allergies so I was concerned immediately because of the fact that everything is being touched by everything. Even if I didn't have allergies this doesn't seem acceptable to me. So I emailed the owner and he did not give and kind of care in the world. Says the oven is hot so they don't need to wear gloves which is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard especially in food service especially after covid. Do not recommend if that's their policy no thank you. Here's the response from the owner below.

One panel of the Menu board is broken. Service was slow. Only two employees working. Long wait for a salad and large pizza

Florentine chicken pizza, VERY good!

Guess I'd better review this place. Ok, so it's a chain. But it's really good pizza and cheesy bread at decent prices! Better than Casey's, any day. They do deliver, just not to Ames. I ventured into the land-locked-so-we-have-to-ticket-you-for-driving-26mph suburb of Windsor Heights(I haven't been there for years because of their traffic ticket scam) to Marco's Pizza today and was waited on by Sue. See pics. The pizza was VERY good. My brother and a member of the Des Moines foodie group on another site had rave reviews about this chain. So I checked them out. Wow! Clean. Great staff. Family friendly. Lot parking. Great prices. Very reasonable. Comparable to Casey's prices, but better tasting pizza. CyHawkApproved. Marcy'sDinerTantrumScale 5/5- NoScreamingKids.

First time ordering from Marco's. Ordered online for delivery 7pm on a Saturday night and very impressed! Their ordering process was painless. Sign in as a regular customer or as a guest. Choose from preset pizzas; Pepperoni Melt, The Works, Cheese Lover's, Chicken Florentine, etc or build your own. We opted for the basic Pepperoni Melt for the first go round. Choose size and any other addon's and check out. Note: there is a place to add a tip, for the driver, when checking out or wait and add it when delivered. We stuck The standard estimate for delivery must be 45-55 minutes. Ok, I figured, it's Saturday night, first time ordering from them, let's see what happens. Did I mention we were impressed? 25 minutes later the pizza showed up, hot. The driver followed directions, we entered when ordering, to our apartment complex to a 'T'. Payment was completed on his digital device, including tip, signed with a finger tip and he offered us parmesan and red pepper before leaving. So, the pizza...XL is just that, extra large. Plenty for 2 adult's with strong appetites and leave leftovers or enough to stuff 2 adult's without leftovers. Pepperoni evenly and generously scattered across the top, mozz was deliciously salty and stringy (reminded me of melted cheese curds), sauce not over or under applied. Everything right out to the edge and not cut short leaving a half acre of unadorned crust. NO monstrous bubbles in the crust and a little plastic pizza saver in the middle to keep the box lid away from all that deliciousness. Certainly not deep dish crust, but not super thin crust either. Not overly doughy at all. You know those times in life where everything is just right? Goldilocks moments. In an age of overpriced mediocrity, Marco's hit the nail on the head. Not a thing to complain about for us. I've spent many years in a pizza kitchen, have seen a lot of delivery operations, and feel like I have a pretty good take on what's completely broken, what needs work, and everything clicking. Did I mention I'm impressed? Well done, Marco's. Will be back!

My husband and I recently ate dinner here. Neither of us had ever tried this place in all our years…read moreof living in Des Moines, so we decided it was high time for us to check it out. We ordered the House Special pizza and it was very good. The crust was a thin crust but it was very crispy and had an almost crackerlike texture. I really liked it a lot. The sauce was flavorful and the toppings were plentiful. It wasn't the best pizza we've ever had but it was still really good. Next time we'd try one of their other pizzas or pasta dishes just to try something different. We were able to be seated right after we walked in, which was nice. The service was good and there were a lot of items to choose from on the menu. There's plenty of seating and a good-sized parking lot.

Pizza is still good and expensive. If you dine in be prepared to wait and wait. I swear there is…read moresomething not in balance with having delivery and dining in. Delivery is very manageable and eating in is consistently very slow. Also, my brother, who is in a wheelchair always ask for the pizza cut in squares because that is easier for him. Pizza places accommodate this maybe half the time and forget the other half. Pagliai's usually forgets and we had a server get annoyed about being asked to take it back and have it cut in squares. She solved this by saying it couldn't be done. We didn't ask her to dig a ditch, come on! We've spent a million dollars at this place and we do not frequent near as much.

Best Pizza in DesMoines area for a deep dish never tried anything else because just love the pizzaread more

Staff was insulting. After waiting an hour and still not served, we decided to change our mind and…read morego somewhere else. Staff was hostile and abusive to me and my wife all the way out the door. I was outside while my wife stayed at the front desk to try to smooth things over, and the staff yelled at me outside, on the public street, threatening me and my wife who was still inside. I insisted on collecting my wife and leaving. All I asked was an acknowledgement that the staff was out of line escalating the situation when we were trying to leave peaceably and had already exited the door. I tried calling after we left to at least collect a simple courteous explanation, but the staff yelled at me and hung up three times. Then the restaurant owner called me, and boy can I tell where the problem is! He also yelled at me and threatened me for nothing while claiming I'd attempted to assault his staff. I never even raised my voice, never got a word in edgewise. Currently the owner is on social media trying to slander me. He keeps changing his story too, saying I assaulted first the hostess and then the server. Video footage is on my side and will be subpoenaed as evidence if necessary. Since the entire staff wants to keep escalating and escalating this situation all night long and into morning, I'm fighting back. I was insulted, harassed, and discriminated against, just because I tried to eat dinner. All Felix and Oscars' owner need do is simply apologize and I'd consider the matter settled.
