Received incorrect pizza order
As you can see by the time stamp on the receipt, we were not trying to slide in right before they close. BUT the waitress told us several times about what time they close. There were actually about 6 tables and she kept telling all of us about what time they close. They were also out of many items and when my daughter ordered a simple Canoli for dessert she was told the kitchen was closed. Too many other pizza places to eat at in town for this type of attitude.

Place is horrible every time I order it to go it's under cooked
The pizza is above fair but the service is always so complicated. I have 4 small kids under the age of 7. I have one in a carseat. I asked if they could just bring the order to the parking lot knowing I couldn't carry the pizza and the baby (in the rain), even if the other kids carried the soda. They told me no because the staff was too small to leave the building and meet me in parkinglot. Last time I ordered from them for my friend and myself and 6 kids between us, they only allowed me to take 4 straws and said they had to save the rest for any guest that might come in to dine in.

Wow….I specifically came here because I was in the area and saw Dave Portnoy recently reviewed a pizza here. Was excited to try their shrimp scampi pizza. I asked for extra mozzarella and bacon. I specifically said I was here because of Dave Portnoy as I already have a favorite spot for shrimp scampi pizza. This shrimp scampi pizza was the worst I ever had. There was no flavor whatsoever. They put dry non marinated shrimp on mozzarella cheese and put it in the oven. No garlic, no oregano, no extra mozzarella, I ordered, no scampi, non existent bacon, no nothing flavor and dried out shrimp that was hard to chew. Crust had char which I liked but a hard pass from me even coming in at 3pm in the afternoon with no one there. The second photo is from Gia Marie’s in East Haven where I normally get my shrimp scampi pizza. So disappointing. Save your money! Never again !

The air conditioner was on too low in restaurant .my takeout order was done at 446 pm on Sunday June 23 but I didn't get my order for a half hour I asked for my money back and they refused to give me a refund.also if my pizza was just made why was the large mozzarella sausage pizza cold.it was not satisfying.

After ordering on THEIR WEBSITE, the order never was delivered. They pointed to Uber and Uber pointed to them! Spoke to owner who was "too busy to resolve the problem", so Ct Department of Consumer Protection will help with a determination. I certainly won't be back!

The pizza was not made as ordered. It had happened once before not that long ago but decided to give another try. It was worse this time than last time. Either the girl answering the phone doesn’t know how to take an order or the person making the pizza can’t read her writing. Asked for a large all extra mozzarella, 1/2 meatball & light baked. It had no extra mozzarella and was burnt. The bottom of the crust was black. The meatballs were dry and hard.

Love the pizza from Marco's, always thin and crunchy and full of toppings. This time I tried the cauliflower crust meat lovers and it was excellent. We also tried the garden pizza, good as well.
Vegetarian options: Garden pizza
Dietary restrictions: Cauliflower and gluten-free crust available.
Recommended dishes: Garden, Toppings
Pizza is thin crust. Parking is limited. Hard 2 get up steps, go thru 2 doors, bad design. Need a ramp like back door going up into one door, Not 2 doors with lil space btwn doors. Steps there make it dangerous.
Wheelchair accessibility: Park in back where Ramp is. Can't been seen when pulling in.

This is the best pizza! Generous toppings, delicious crust and great service. Polite and professional. Very clean restaurant. We travel the 95 corridor often and make a special stop at Marco's. We'll order pizza to go for another night!
If you like a great pizza it's worth the trip!
Parking: Never had a problem finding a spot. However, gets busy in the evening.

Best pizza in Branford. This deserve 5/5 even though New Haven pizza is only 10 minutes away. If you’re in Branford looking for pizza choose this over all the others you won’t regret it. Dine in is better but take out is also great. Pictured is their cheese pie and bacon potato.
