Who We Are

Marcos — More Than a Meal

Marcos was born out of a simple belief: that great marcos pizza starts with great people, fresh dough, and a passion for the craft. Founded in 2009 in the heart of Marco Island, FL, our first location opened with a wood-fired oven, six tables, and a dream.

What began as a neighborhood spot quickly became a Florida institution. Our marco's pizza quickly earned a reputation for its hand-stretched crusts, house-made sauces, and locally sourced toppings that keep our guests coming back — and bringing their families along.

Today, Marcos continues to honor that founding spirit. Every pizza is made to order, every team member is family, and every guest is welcomed like they've been coming here for years. Because at Marcos, you probably have.
