Marcos began in 2009 when founder Marco Riccardo opened a small corner eatery with a single wood-fired oven and a dream: to bring the authentic taste of marco's pizza to the people of Marco Island, FL. What started as a 12-table dining room quickly became the neighborhood's go-to spot for handcrafted pies, fresh ingredients, and genuine hospitality.
Today, Marcos serves hundreds of families every week, delivering the same recipes Marco perfected over years of experimentation — dough slow-fermented for 48 hours, house-made sauces, and toppings sourced from trusted local and regional producers. Every marcos pizza that leaves our kitchen carries the same love and craftsmanship as that very first pie.
We exist to bring people together through exceptional food, warm service, and an unwavering commitment to quality — one marcos pizza at a time.
Every pizza, pasta, and side dish is crafted by hand with genuine passion. We never cut corners because your satisfaction is our purpose.
We source the finest produce daily, working with local farms and quality suppliers to ensure every bite is as fresh as it can be.
Marco Island is our home. We actively support local events, charities, and families because a thriving community makes everything better.
From our first pizza to our ten-thousandth, the standard never drops. Quality control is baked into everything we do — literally.
At Marcos, our values aren't a poster on the wall — they shape every decision, every recipe, and every interaction with our guests.
We stay true to traditional recipes and techniques, resisting shortcuts that would compromise flavor or integrity. Real ingredients, real methods, real taste.
We treat our team, customers, and suppliers as partners. A culture of respect is why our staff stays and our customers return, again and again.
Tradition grounds us; creativity moves us forward. We regularly introduce new flavors and seasonal specials while honoring the classics our guests love.
From compostable packaging to energy-conscious kitchens, we care about our environmental footprint and take meaningful steps to reduce it every year.
From a single oven to a full restaurant, here are the milestones that shaped who we are today.
