Marco's Overview
Marco’s Pizza founder Pasquale “Pat” Giammarco moved to the U.S. from Italy
when he was nine years old and grew up working in his family’s pizzeria. He
later embarked on a mission to make high quality pizza on a larger scale using a
secret sauce recipe that he developed and refined with his father.

Giammarco focused on three key areas: dough, sauce and cheese. He established
three standards in order to deliver the consistent levels of quality and
freshness expected of Marco’s products: dough made fresh daily in each store; a
proprietary sauce recipe that blends imported spices and three types of
vine-ripened tomatoes; and an exclusive blend of three fresh cheeses (never
frozen, unlike many pizza chains).

The first Marco's Pizza store opened in Toledo in 1978. Gradually, stores
opened throughout the Midwest and beyond. The Marco’s Pizza menu broadened as
well, to include hot sub sandwiches, salads and Cheezybread for carryout and
delivery.

Today, there are more than 190 franchised and company-managed Marco’s Pizza
stores in 17 states.
