“My parents and I came to Bartow for a quick trip. We just wanted to pick up dinner and found Palace Pizza down the street from our airbnb. It was a great pizza! The pizza dough was excellent and had good flavor. The staff were very friendly. My husband didn’t make this trip and we have a lot of good pizza places at home, but I told him that he needs to come to Bartow to try this pizza!“

“My first time there I thought it was really nice for family great atmosphere decent food I ordered the meatball a little salty but for the most part it was really decent. The fries are home made fries were really good delicious. I would definitely go back I even took a menu with me. Didn't take pictures but next time I will and I'll post them. I think they should put a pier to walk into the ocean that would be awesome.“

“We enjoyed the food, ambience and customer service. Our dishes took a minute (full restaurant) yet were quite impressive and tasty….worth the wait. 😋 Our server was Bailey and Emmanuel was helping too—very kind, attentive, professional and 👍🏽 upbeat. I don’t live nearby but when I’m back in town, I’d come back.“

“Love the wings the sweetness spicy remind me of a place in New York. Sals birdland“

“Love this pizza. A little disappointed because I didn’t check my pizza before leaving. Got all the way home and one was burnt. You had to scrape the toppings off without eating the burnt crust. LESSON LEARNED. Guess with the new over- some of the temps are off a bit. Still a favorite plate to eat and enjoy!!!! TIP- Check your pizza before it walks out the door! I need a new one! lol“

“This is the first time ever eating at a Marco's Pizza and let me tell you this was by far the best service and food quality of any of the pizza chains out there! Absolutely love all the great toppings that were so fresh food was piping hot and delicious! An excellent win for anyone who wants to experience the best!“

“The personal they are very nice tks so much... every Saturday we go after the baseball game“

“We recently placed an online order with your store and encountered an error during the process. Fortunately, we had the pleasure of speaking with Sean P. over the phone. He not only helped us place the order quickly and efficiently but also took the extra step to ensure our original online order hadn't gone through.

This past week has been especially emotional and stressful for our family, as we are mourning the loss of our father. Sean was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding during this difficult time. His professionalism and compassion did not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for the support he provided.

Excellent customer service—thank you, Sean!“
