Our Story
How marcos became a household name
It all began in 2009 when founder Marco Deluca opened a modest pizzeria on US-98 in Daphne, Alabama with one goal in mind: to serve the finest marco's pizza made from scratch using only the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. What started as a family recipe passed down through generations quickly turned into a community favourite.
Word spread fast about the distinctive flavour, perfectly charred crusts, and generous toppings that set Marcos apart from every other marcos pizza experience in the area. Within three years the kitchen had doubled in size, and Marcos had built a loyal following that extended far beyond Daphne.
Today, Marcos serves thousands of happy customers across the United States, staying true to the same handcrafted values and quality standards Marco established on day one.
