OT:Marco's Pizza

[SamIAm]

Looking for some feedback on Marco's. Apparently it is a pick-up/delivery model. I would think the competitors are Domino, Papa John, Little Caesar's etc.

We don't have many of these yet in the Southeast where I live. Apparently there are a number of them in MIchigan, Ohiio and Indiana.

I have been asked to fund some stores in the Southeast and I was just wondering what fellow forumites had to say about the product.

Not interested in anything other than simply, do they make a quaility product that is distinguished relative to their competitors.

Thanks for any feedback you might have.

If they are in Michigan, I haven't heard of them...Domino's and Little Ceasar's are king here

For a better statistical sample than Serotta can offer, Google: "Marco's Pizza Yelp"

I have actually used Yelp to evaluate investments in two restaurant chains lately. It was very helpful. One had tons of incredibly enthusiastic reviews, just beyond belief consistency and number of 5-star reviews, while the other had a lot of "good for what they are" or "average food, terrible service" reviews. The latter really acted as a counterpoint to the investment pitch, which told me what I needed to know about upper mangement.

Indianapolis resident here. Marco's is fairly new here, been about 2 years. Family has had it a number of times, they make a solid pizza, prices comparable to all but Little Greasers, can't compete with $5 pizzas.

If there's anything I know, it's pizza, so hopefully I can help Rob :-)

There's one up the street from me.

Reasonably good for chain pizza, and offers a few more exotic ingredients than your normal chain store (feta cheese, roma tomatos, pepperoni from the stick, jalapeno peppers). Price is competitive, if not lower than Pizza Hut and Dominoes: large 1 topping for 6 bucks, a few good family type meals with pizza, breadsticks and soda for under 20.

I will say one thing I miss every time I go to the south is any sort of good pizza, so may be a good market to tap into. PM me if I can be any more help.

That reminds me: "New York" pizza is the worst I've ever eaten, and I've eaten it in several eastern states. Just too greasy imo, mostly.

You've developed a taste for a food product that loosely resembles pizza.

Are there a lot of chain pizza places around you? I think they would do well against that. Against independent places? Perhaps not.

There is a Marco's here in Oro Valley. We have ordered from them a few times and IMHO I would say they have a better product than most delivery chains. Not great pizza but clearly better than typical delivery pizza!

Ciao!

No, I just prefer higher-quality foods. Chicago pizza, for example.

There is a Marcos Pizza in the southeast, its located in Warner Robins GA. It's not bad, we actually perfer it to Papa Johns or Pizza Hut.

Yes, this is what I have been hearing through other some of my other social networking as well. There is also one right here in Dunwoody, Ga. where I live and I find it better than its competition, just wanted to see what others thoughts were.

Kevan, do you prefer Marios, Pizza Station, or the new place by D'Ag? I'm a pretty loyal Marios eater, but I find their pasta to be superior to their Pizza. Any places in P'ville or Mt. K that are not to be missed?
