“Zuko’s Pizza was recommended to us and did not disappoint! From the warm greeting at the door to the attentive service, we felt welcome right away. They only take cash, Zelle, or Cash App—not a problem these days. I had the Chicken Murphy—flavorful sauce, perfectly cooked mushrooms, just the right kick—absolute chef’s kiss! My husband had spaghetti with marinara and Italian sausage, with generous portions and a homemade-tasting sauce. Small, clean seating area and friendly staff all the way till we finished eating.Can’t wait to come back for the pizza!“

“Stopped in tonight for a bit of Chicken Alfredo Tortellini. Audelio, was my server and he was exceptional. I like to be checked up on, but not stalked or forgotten. He nailed the attentiveness. He made a recommendation for my chicken on the tortellini. I tried the crispy instead of the grilled and for me it was way better.
This was one of my better visits to Olive garden. Made even better by Audelio.“

If you haven’t tried the Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo it is amazing. Great experience and will be back!“

“To the manager at Napoli's in Wylie. I want to compliment you on your staff and the service I received the last couple of times I've been there throughout the Christmas holidays. These young people were very friendly to all customers both in person and on the telephone. They were busy about their task at hand. I never saw them cutting up or just standing around. They were all working. I want to give a special compliment to Joseph our waiter who checked on us several times throughout our meal even though it was crowded. He was very kind and respectful.And also to Caitlin or Kaylan who took my phone order. She was very friendly and helpful. If you have the funds I think these young people deserve a reward of some kind. Thank you for hiring and training your employees to treat customers in the way they would like to be treated. Have a great holiday season.“

“Didnt get to take pics but its been about 1 year since ive returned. The establishment is bigger and brighter. The place is not so dim and the dining room is open, giving it a nice cozy feel to the place as you enjoy your food. I ordered the friday lunch special which was the shrimp scampi over linguini and everything about the dish was perfect. The shrimp were big sized and succulent while the linguini was served hot and perfect tenderness over the pasta. The tomatoes and herbs blend in perfectly with the whole dish and broiled down perfectly giving this dish a homecook taste with authenticity. I remember when i used to come here that the pizza was also really delicious, im glad i did return to find this establishment still serving really good pizza and pasta at reasonable prices and the glow up to the place is the cherry on top for a perfect date night. Alcohol is available and so is a bar for individual sitiing. Will return soon“

“Family owned and operated Italian food thats amazing! Always fresh, great service and super friendly! We love this neighborhood restaurant!“

“awesome food. great service. we had lasagna“

“Best pizza I’ve ever had 20 years and counting“

“Yummy great tasting pizza everytime. Love their crust.
Ever since they've opened we have continuously received delicious pizza and great service. We usually come in on weekdays so I cant really say anything about wkend service.
Everytime we've picked up the manager was there. So maybe thats why our order is always so delicous and everyone is so polite.
If anything changes I'll be sure to change my review.
But Marcos's is one of our faves here in Mesquite.
I hope they make it here. There have been so many eateries that have come and go.
I hope Marcos's stays. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I went today around 11am and I want to shout out to the busser, a young black gentleman, who did a PHENOMENAL job. He prebussed, he got us drink refills, brought us pizza and dessert and was just the sweetest! This is our usual Friday lunch spot but the experience was elevated today bc of the wonderful worker! I hope to see him the next time I’m in there!!!!“

“Yummy. Best pizza in town“
