Marco's Pizza — Restaurant in McKinney

Let me begin by saying this: I’ve never had a pizza experience that doubled as a gastrointestinal exorcism and a lube job for my car… until Marco’s.

I ordered a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Simple. Classic. Safe… or so I thought. The pizza arrived in a box so soaked with grease, I thought it was a crime scene. Honestly, I’ve seen less oil in a Jiffy Lube. I tilted the box slightly and I swear it dripped like a leaky faucet — I could have lubed a whole NASCAR pit crew with what poured out.

And then there were the mushrooms. Oh boy. Canned mushrooms. Canned. It is 2025. We have AI, self-driving cars, and robots performing surgeries, but Marco’s is still out here cracking open a tin of soggy fungi like it’s 1974. I bit into one and audibly said “what the hell,” then paused Netflix to check the expiration date. No lie, these things had the texture of slugs and the flavor profile of apathy.

But the real twist? About 14 minutes after finishing two slices (I was hungry, okay?), my stomach made a noise only dogs could hear. What followed was a full digestive reboot. I basically Marie Kondo’d my colon. Nothing sparked joy, but everything sparked movement. If you need to pass a kidney stone or just reflect on your life decisions from the bathroom floor, Marco’s has got your back (and front).

I gave it two stars because the delivery guy was nice and because the crust was surprisingly decent. Like, if you scraped off the toppings, blotted it with half a roll of Bounty, and pretended it was flatbread, you could almost trick yourself into enjoying it. Also, I’m weirdly proud of surviving it.

In conclusion: if you’re looking for a pizza that doubles as a laxative and triples as an industrial lubricant, look no further. Marco’s is not just a pizza — it’s a full-body experience. Just don’t stray too far from a restroom...

Edited 1/20/2022 - I will leave my original information below but our last two experiences have really changed our willingness to order from Marcos as too many other options available. Our previous order to today was a mess, it seemed the pizzas were tilted and pizzas were cold. It was busy time for dinner so we left it to a one time incident and heating them up in the oven and re-arranged the pies. However today I ordered for lunch, a simple pizza and side. Ordered at 11:15am, no update on the tracker (says we are prepping your order), delivery estimate at 12:10pm. No worries yet. 1pm, no pizza still nearly two hours after ordering. Called the location twice and no answer, just machine thanking me for my patience for over 10m on first call, and 2nd call was 15m with no answer. Off to my 1pm appointment and will most likely come home to a cold pizza box sitting on my porch at 4pm.

Update - Marcos cancelled my order per their Order Tracker. Phone call was received at 1:45pm to note that the store was closed due to manager not able to come in, and they closed the store. Due to illness and short staffed. Apologies as I should not have been able to order online.

Shame - as we always have supported Marcos since being here as noted below. Seems to be a trend per neighbors and reviews. Yes will leave feedback at tellmarcos.com when it finally arrives.

Great place to get a delivery pizza and service is always spot on. Though I am a super fan of pizza, and Marcos is not the best pizza I have ever had, they are perfect for parties, quick dinner gets, feeding the munchkins etc. I do enjoy their pie however simple and easy. Best of the quick delivery folks. Now if they can only get those extra sauces right... (seem to always miss...

As a customer, I expect a basic level of competence when ordering food for delivery.

I am beyond disappointed with the service from this Marco’s Pizza location. This was my second time ordering here, and after this experience, it will definitely be my last.

I am not from the DFW area—I reside in Houston, TX, and I have never encountered such blatant disregard for service standards as I have at this location.

The first time I ordered, the driver struggled to access the building despite clear directions, but ultimately managed. I tipped him for the effort. This time, however, the experience was indefensible. Despite my explicit instructions that I was in Building 1, the driver went to the wrong building. When I attempted to guide him step by step, he continually talked over me, making it impossible for him to follow simple, clear directions. The result? I was forced to clock out of work, lose income, and retrieve my own order—a completely avoidable inconvenience caused by sheer negligence.

To compound this failure, my order was luke-warm, stale, and far from fresh by the time I received it. Adding insult to injury, I was charged $40 for a $29 order—a discrepancy that must be corrected within the next 72 business hours.

This entire experience ruined my night and wasted my money. I will never be ordering from this location again, and I highly suggest others think twice before doing...
