-- Is a Marco's Pizza food thread overdue, here?
 

Oh I think so!

Now that you all have them in and near KC - have you tried? For those of you in the SE have you tried Jet's Pizza yet?

Which other 'off the radar' pizza chains have you been too?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco's_Pizza

Just Ordered 3 medium 2-toppings

#1 - Thin, Hamburger + Onion
#2 - Thin, Canadian Bacon + Mushroom
#3 - Thing, 1/2 Canadian Bacon, Mushroom - 1/2 beef, jalapenos

I know they were never delicious - but I absolutely DO miss Pizza Inn and Mazzio's.

We had a Pizza Inn here in Atlanta off 285 until around (I'd Say) 94ish. I remember dad clipping the coupons out of the Blue Springs Examiner for the Pizza Inn deals.

Not sure I ever tried - Ken's. Ken's anyone?

Maybe Joplin or Carthage - not sure.

Never had Marco's, but we have Jet's Pizza (I believe they're MI based). I honestly have to be in the mood for Jet's, it's not a style of pizza I normally go for. The fellas at my barbershop eat the **** out of it though.

The rare time I order deep dish - Jet's

Almost everywhere else I order thin. Jet's deep dish is the bomb

Of course you're in Chicago - so that in and of itself is a game changer.

Rocky Rococo. They still around?

oh never heard of.

Wichita has a Marco's Cantina which is Mexican fare. Great portion size and value. Every time I miss a day of work I always lunch there.

I've never had their thin, I should try it. I kind of view their deep dish as more like a super pan pizza, which is why I have to be in the mood for a really bready pizza. But if that's what I'm craving it hits the spot for sure.

Just arrived !!

Off to D.C in 3...2...1...

Looks legit

Never been into the italian meats much - I guess it's because when we'd go out - growing up - Minsky's and Funhouse - mom and dad always got Beef and Ham - not sure why - so unconventional.

20-25 years ago this was the best pizza I had ever had. It was hit and miss for a while and then I gave up on it...

How well do you know your Pizza? hint 4 locations that includes the original that opened 25 years ago

Their cheese is noticeably better than the common spots.

My first experience with Marco's was in Cleveland for work. It was right across the street from my hotel room. I ate there a lot when I didnt feel like getting out and had it delivered to room. I really thought it was pretty good cheese seemed fresher than comparable chains like PH.

We have had one in Gladstone for a while now and if you order carryout you get a free movie rental from Family Video. My only concern is they changed the sausage and it went from the small rabbit pellet style to a big chunk style that is spongy texture and has no flavor.

appears to be 40 locations left

I threw the locations up in OP - click KC toward the beginning.

Jet's kind of reminds me of the one time I had Pizza By Stout in Joplin.

I am a thin crust guy all the way. The ground meat looks good and it even looks like Canadian Bacon vs. ham..

Next time I feed my kids pizza I'll try it.

I used to be a Pizza Queen guy before closing. I love lean meat, cracker crust, and quality cheese.

Never heard of it.

I am surprised The Big Cheese Pizza chains didn't make it. They had it all, Kick ass pizza and an arcade

Papa Johns is better

You ARE welcome

More of a Midwestern chain. I ate them a couple of times during my 18-month stay in Indiana in the early 90s.

Said no one, ever.

That's dog food.

If ever in Cincy, try Larosa's. A family member in each location per founder.

I ordered 25 pizza's to be delivered to a hotel courtyard. They sent 5 pizza's every 5 minutes. When they made their last run they asked if we needed more and delivered 3 more. gratis!

Sunnabich this is making me hungry for pizza.

Is that cheese dipping sauce?

yeah - you should

I found them - look a few posts back - I posted a commercial up there

any Mazzio's in KC?

Pizza Inn's ..?

Ya...WTF, on pizza?

If in Indiana "Ring the King" Pizza King. They have over 60 locations and they raise and process their own ingredients. Make the cheese, grow the veggies, can their own tomatoes. They even cure their own Pepperoni.

huh?

?

I do enjoy Marco's every now and then. Closest one to me is 20 minutes away, so it's usually a dine-in for us. And they don't skimp on cheese. I also like that their ordering system includes a way to order it "well done."

I also miss Mazzio's. Was one of the only places left that did Canadian bacon instead of ham (**** ham).

:) :clap: Great stuff.

Is it nacho cheese in the picture?

Founded in Madison WI.

Was good 10 years ago but I have heard it slipped as the got bigger.

Guys absolutely try the way I ordered mine - right now you can get med 2 topping for $7.99per - I got three delivered for $32 after tax tag and title - which isn't cheap - but still not too bad considering the quality. Try them out - the KC locals are up there in OP word-wrapped underlined KC.

RE: Ken's Pizza. I seem to remember eating there in Branson many years ago. I seem to remember that it was pretty good. I also seem to remember that I was much younger then and probably stoned out of my gourd, so take it for what its worth.

aw - I think it is - but the pizza DOES look good.

I'm breaking out the Kettle Pizza this weekend, so they can all kiss my ass!

Ken's was in my home town, across from Pizza Hut. I always really liked them. They got bought out by a Pizza Inn.

I had Mazzio's in Harrisonville, MO. but it's been a while... 8 years actually

Sauto should be able to confirm about today.

Providence Pizza (Grandview: 71 & Main); Waldo Pizza (duh); and Leo's Pizza (North of River. Fringe benefit of Airport transport. Bit out of the way, but not too far from I29.)

Have not tried Marco's. Thanks to SR for expanding our horizons.

It's good bud - for a chain - nothing like Tim's / Funhouse or Minsky's - but pretty good - especially for the fair price tag.

Independence has one.

So you all can do your meth on a full tummy!

We used to go to a mennonite bakery in Pleasant Hill Mo

Delicious pies.

Is that the one in the old LJS building? I drive by it all the time, but never tried it. Any good?

That's actually not far from where I live, I'm not a huge fan, I've had it twice and it was super ridiculous greasy.

Weird - maybe give them another go - try the ingredients I get - not as greasy - also go Thin. I promise you'll like better.

Mmmm... Fishy pizza.

Man, I miss Minsky's.

Nickys Pizza. 291 hwy in Liberty. $8 large 1 topping M to W. Eat there.

We have it in my area. Its ok, but nothing special. Certainly no FunHouse or Pizza Patron

My wife and I ate there last week.

nom nom nom

I never go by there anymore I thought even GV would have realized that was worth tearing down and stating over... that whole place sucked, except for Gary's Place back in the day.

I see on Google that IHOP took over the grocery store if not the whole center. Anyone Know if either Gary or Gary's Place still exists? Used to stop in there after playing Golf.

Me neither.

You're trolling me with the Pizza Patron bro - Not working

Actually, they did well with that building.

Oh, No it's only pizza now. There's no more LJS there.

you guys need to order shit how I do - that's part of the problem - you are ordering black olive and pepperoni hand-tossed. Try the styles and combos I did in OP - so good at Marco's - I know what I'm doing, trust me.

Hungry Howies more gimmicky than KC Chiefs Offense

Minsky's was good pizza, I met the founder as they were opening their second location. We realized we knew each other from Omaha.. He's done well with Minskys. I was hoping "dish" in Liberty was going to take off. Anyone had their frozen?

Full of bible thumpers at lunch ???

You'd have to ask Sweets

Just found out there's a Mazzios about 20 mins from here!!!!!!!!

disappointing thread - thanks for nothing.

haha

Sorry ST....gotta disagree....that place f'in blows....never going back there...ever. Just my .02, but it was so bad i had to mention it.

Their pepperoni is extremely greasy.

Do you have a MOD Pizza? That's gimmicky. The Chipotle of pizzeria's.

Did you ever try McDonalds pizza?

Oh God no.
