Marcos restaurant interior — where marco's pizza is crafted with love

2009 Founded

The Marcos Story

From a Family Kitchen to Marco Island's Favorite

Marcos was born in 2009 with one simple dream — to bring authentic, handcrafted marco's pizza to the heart of Marco Island, FL, using only the freshest local ingredients.

What started as a small family kitchen has grown into one of the most beloved marcos pizza destinations on the island. Founder Marco Deluca, a second-generation Italian-American, poured his grandmother's cherished recipes and his own culinary training into every pie that came out of the oven.

Our dough is hand-stretched daily, our sauces are made from scratch using vine-ripened tomatoes, and our toppings are sourced from trusted local and regional suppliers. Every detail reflects our commitment to quality and authenticity — the same values that define what marcos means to our community.

Hand-stretched dough made fresh every morning
Locally sourced, seasonal ingredients whenever possible
Family recipes refined over three generations
A welcoming space for the entire Marco Island community
