Marco's Pizza ~ national chain : Colorado Springs, Colorado


Latest visit: Jun 2024 (Briargate)

First visit: Apr 2010 (Keller, TX)

HQ: Toledo, OH (founded: 1978 in Oregon, OH)

Locations: Over 1,000. Another "location finder" app that is useless except for your current location. There's 4 in the Colorado Springs area. I don't feel like researching further lol. The Keller location moved years ago.

For some reason Mrs. RJG had it in her head she liked Marco's. I was like "really?" Okaaay then. I ordered online an extra large pie with Italian sausage for the whole thing with jalapeno's and red onions on half. Grabbed their coupon and it totaled over $18. Not too bad. You know, they asked for a tip even though I picked it up? It gets more ridiculous each time.

20 seconds in the door, pizza box opened, and she barks "it's too thick!". Yep. I knew that going in. That's the advantage of having a comal grill at home, so at least we can crisp it up. But she wasn't impressed even after that. She's never going to be a "crust girl". My usual complaint of not enough sauce came to the fore. The Italian sausage was a cut above the norm though, and she said the jalapeno's were spicy at least. They're famous for their crust, and I thought it was really good, especially after we heated it up on the stove. In any case, don't think we'll be rushing back to Marco's though we've been a remarkable four times prior (though I never did get around to documenting any of those visits). And now that Jet's has finally set foot here in the Springs, that will suffice for our Midwestern pizza chain fix. We just need to get over there.
