Marco’s Pizza & Grill

I was crawling out of my skin for chicken parm and with no other options around I decided to give them a second try. This time I went the pick-​up route and I’m adding a star because a) it was ready perfectly on time and b) they were really nice there. Unfortunately, it seems their Achilles heels is breading things. As with the eggplant from years ago, it was as if the raw chicken were gently rolled in bread crumbs and then tossed into the oven with sauce and cheese (not bad sauce, btw). So the breading didn’t stick at all and was just kind of clumped around at random in the dish. If they can get their breading game down it would make SUCH a big difference! Don’t underestimate the importance of a flour dredge and egg wash!

In town visiting and ordered delivery to my hotel. Delivery took an hour and ten mins. Guy didn’t have a pen for me to sign my check with. Which was fine since I had one in the room.
I didn’t get any silverware. I am in a hotel so a bit difficult there. I also did not get the parmesean cheese I specifically asked for.
The chicken parm is OK. However more like slices of chicken with cheese on it. Pasta dumped on top and then sauce on that. Very interesting. Sauce is really sweet. Likely wouldn’t order from here again. Just not my cup of tea.

To start, the tables and chairs were all damaged and looked greasy. The tables were dirty and looked as though they hadn’t been cleaned in a while.
We started with a salad and it was okay, typical pizza place salad, nothing special. But the pizza was a disappointment, the crust was undercooked and soggy. The sauce was flavorless and the toppings were undercooked as well. We were given plates with our pizza but didn’t use them because they looked as though they hadn’t been washed since they had been used last.

It’s not unusual for Marcos to be delivering several orders to our building simultaneously around lunch time on any given day. Their 2 slice deal with a soda for 5 $ and their 6 $ small (HUGE) subs are as tasty as they are a great deal. The ciabatta is good enough to eat plain. I know this because I’ve done it.
I love Marcos food and only wish I had more time to stay for a pint when I arrange for pick up instead of delivery.

Food was ok. Service was abhorrent.
I tried to order an eggplant parmesan calzone for take out. The guy had to ask his coworker if that was an option. I tried to tell him that was fine, I’d just order something else, and asked him to list the actual toppings. He didn’t listen, eventually him and his coworker figure out that it’s not an option. I try to ask him to list the toppings again. He goes back to talking to his coworker about my request. I try to ask him to list the toppings again. They determine that it’s not an option, but they can do it anyway. I once again say it’s fine, and ask him to list the toppings. They determine that if I order eggplant parmesan I won’t get sauce. I tell them, no, I want sauce. I ask them to list the toppings again, finally he asks me «are you sure, there are a lot of them.» I say yes, I’m sure, I’ll just interrupt when I hear something I want. They begin to list the toppings, they get to eggplant, and I say that’s what I want. They tell me my order will be ready in 10 – 15 minutes.
I show up after 15 minutes to pick up my order. The place is empty, but my order takes another 10 – 15 minutes to be ready.
I get home, and start to eat my calzone. There’s no sauce.

I’m torn between one star and two. On the one hand, I get pizza here because the location is convenient, and it’s fine (two stars). On the other hand, my order is rarely ready when I arrive, and twice they’ve forgotten to make it (zero stars). The pizza place forgot to make my pizza.
Sigh.

Wow, Wasn’t very impressed with an overly abundant order of grease filled attempts at classic American food. My wife ordered a canoli and received a runny chocolate colored disgusting mess to be honest. I wouldn’t send my worst enemy to this restaurant.

Best new york style pizza around. If u want a cheap corporate constructed pizza, go to dominos. Marcos is a comfortable environment with regular customers, making u feel right at home. Great food, great customers, and friendly employees. 5 stars.

Sorry, the pizza at Marcos is TERRIBLE. No taste, crust soggy, veggies undercooked. Plus, it seems dirty at the place.

Good wings. Good beer on tap. What’s not to like?

I thought the pizza here was pretty good, I ordered a half cheese half pepperoni, it was good. But the pepperoni was a little greasy. If you are in the area I would check this place out.

I’ve always been a fan of Marco’s since I lived in Shelburne since this was the only snob-​free and reasonably priced place to eat there. Their ciabatta bread is some of the best I’ve ever had. Perfection out of the oven. I just had a warm sandwich from here today on ciabatta and can’t complain. It was exactly what I needed for a stressful day. They also serve garlic mayo which is always a plus in my book. I only gave them 4 stars because for being a pizza place, their pizza isn’t my cup of tea. I’m a pizza snob, though.
