-- Is a Marco's Pizza food thread overdue, here?

[Simply Red]

Oh I think so!

Now that you all have them in and near KC (https://www.google.com/search?q=marco%27s+pizza+kansas+city+area&npsic=0&rflfq=1&rlha=0&rllag=39116798,-94635700,13838&tbm=lcl&ved=0ahUKEwjs35Cjv-nXAhXL5YMKHcdrDS0QjGoIUw&tbs=lrf:!2m1!1e3!3sIAE,lf:1,lf_ui:4&rldoc=1#rlfi=hd:;si:;mv:!1m3!1d117630.75592040348!2d-95.05468834999999!3d39.116798349999996!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i548!2i114!4f13.1;tbs:lrf:!2m1!1e3!3sIAE ,lf:1,lf_ui:4) - have you tried? For those of you in the SE have you tried Jet's Pizza yet?

Which other 'off the radar' pizza chains have you been too?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco's_Pizza

Just Ordered 3 medium 2-toppings

#1 - Thin, Hamburger + Onion
#2 - Thin, Canadian Bacon + Mushroom
#3 - Thing, 1/2 Canadian Bacon, Mushroom - 1/2 beef, jalapenos

I know they were never delicious - but I absolutely DO miss Pizza Inn and Mazzio's.

We had a Pizza Inn here in Atlanta off 285 until around (I'd Say) 94ish. I remember dad clipping the coupons out of the Blue Springs Examiner for the Pizza Inn deals.

Never had Marco's, but we have Jet's Pizza (I believe they're MI based). I honestly have to be in the mood for Jet's, it's not a style of pizza I normally go for. The fellas at my barbershop eat the fuck out of it though.

The rare time I order deep dish - Jet's

Almost everywhere else I order thin. Jet's deep dish is the bomb

Of course you're in Chicago - so that in and of itself is a game changer.

I've never had their thin, I should try it. I kind of view their deep dish as more like a super pan pizza, which is why I have to be in the mood for a really bready pizza. But if that's what I'm craving it hits the spot for sure.

Never been into the italian meats much - I guess it's because when we'd go out - growing up - Minsky's and Funhouse - mom and dad always got Beef and Ham - not sure why - so unconventional.

20-25 years ago this was the best pizza I had ever had. It was hit and miss for a while and then I gave up on it...

How well do you know your Pizza? hint 4 locations that includes the original that opened 25 years ago

[Simply Red]

Looks legit

Their cheese is noticeably better than the common spots.

[srvy]

My first experience with Marco's was in Cleveland for work. It was right across the street from my hotel room. I ate there a lot when I didnt feel like getting out and had it delivered to room. I really thought it was pretty good cheese seemed fresher than comparable chains like PH.

We have had one in Gladstone for a while now and if you order carryout you get a free movie rental from Family Video. My only concern is they changed the sausage and it went from the small rabbit pellet style to a big chunk style that is spongy texture and has no flavor.

I used to be a Pizza Queen guy before closing. I love lean meat, cracker crust, and quality cheese.

That's dog food.

If ever in Cincy, try Larosa's. A family member in each location per founder.

I ordered 25 pizza's to be delivered to a hotel courtyard. They sent 5 pizza's every 5 minutes. When they made their last run they asked if we needed more and delivered 3 more. gratis!

I do enjoy Marco's every now and then. Closest one to me is 20 minutes away, so it's usually a dine-in for us. And they don't skimp on cheese. I also like that their ordering system includes a way to order it "well done."

I also miss Mazzio's. Was one of the only places left that did Canadian bacon instead of ham (**** ham).

Guys absolutely try the way I ordered mine - right now you can get med 2 topping for $7.99per - I got three delivered for $32 after tax tag and title - which isn't cheap - but still not too bad considering the quality. Try them out - the KC locals are up there in OP word-wrapped underlined KC.

RE: Ken's Pizza. I seem to remember eating there in Branson many years ago. I seem to remember that it was pretty good. I also seem to remember that I was much younger then and probably stoned out of my gourd, so take it for what its worth.

Ken's was in my home town, across from Pizza Hut. I always really liked them. They got bought out by a Pizza Inn.

I never go by there anymore I thought even GV would have realized that was worth tearing down and stating over... that whole place sucked, except for Gary's Place back in the day.

I see on Google that IHOP took over the grocery store if not the whole center. Anyone Know if either Gary or Gary's Place still exists? Used to stop in there after playing Golf.

I really like Godfather's pizza but they think their shit is worth $20 a pie and that's just not so. Had Casey's a few months ago for a birthday thing with my dad. I ate 3 pieces and breadsticks and I felt like death the entire rest of the day. The amount of cheese on those things is ungodly.

Still would smash some Casey's right now, but you just have to know you're really gonna pay for it later. Their breakfast pizza is the truth. Damn that's good.

I really like Godfather's pizza but they think their shit is worth $20 a pie and that's just not so. Had Casey's a few months ago for a birthday thing with my dad. I ate 3 pieces and breadsticks and I felt like death the entire rest of the day. The amount of cheese on those things is ungodly.

Still would smash some Casey's right now, but you just have to know you're really gonna pay for it later. Their breakfast pizza is the truth. Damn that's good.

I was eating Godfathers in the mid 70's when they were in western Omaha . (99 st just off I-80) and the quality was always great, 10-5 years later I thought it started sucking ass more and more but coupons kept me coming back as sometimes they made a great pie. Other than that why eat Godfathers when there's Minsky's?

Some of the best KC pizza I ever had came from Sutera's in the bottom's, NKC, or Brookside. Home of the "take out pizza with the corners missing". The best location was in Westwood. I went there often and as much as me and Westwood's finest don't get along , I would risk sneaking through Fairway to get there.

I see now where there is one in western Shawnee and has been for many years.. I never knew it was there as Tanners gets my money when I am in the area, if someone's tried it, please report?

That doesn't sound good to me - I just don't care for basil - I DO love garlic - but not atop my pie, I don't think. Seems everyone loves basil but me. Just never warmed to it.

[cooper barrett]

We do have a couple Marco's Pizzas as well, I think all of them are packaged with Family Video. I get pizzas from the Bel Aire one every now and then since it's pretty close to my apartment, and it's not bad. You can get a 2-topping large for like $9 and it tastes pretty good

I'd put it behind our local pizza places in Wichita (Knolla's, Gambino's), but it's not bad by any means

Yeah that's right, I had forgotten about it. I picked one up one evening when I was fishing KDOT East last summer. Pretty decent pie.

Either one of you old enough to remember "The Brick" they had 2 bars in one building?

I'm doing a spin on a classic margherita today on the Kettle Pizza. Fresh tomato sauce (that I just made - DOP tomatoes drained, garlic, oregano, oil, S&P; not cooked). In place of the fresh basil, I'm using some pesto, dot with diced up sun-dried tomatoes, and some good mozzarella. After it's cooked, a little drizzle of some aged balsamic. Also doing a classic pepperoni.

[cooper barrett]

What? How is provel not a cheese?

No FMB is full of shit on this one, Technically when you blend cheeses together it becomes a processed cheese product. Provel is made from a mix of white cheddar, Swiss, and provolone cheeses and cannot truly be considered cheese. It's real cheese but blended together.

The next step down would be Pasteurized process cheese, followed by Pasteurized process cheese food, then Pasteurized process cheese spread. Non of the Pasteurized products are considered cheese.

Provel is real cheese and not a Pasteurized product like Velveeta which is really not cheese at all and is labeled as a "Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product". Products with this label may contain MPC's (milk protein concentrate, a highly processed concentrated milk protein) It can be made from a single cheese (solid, or powdered), or a blend of several cheeses. Cream, milk fat, water, salt, artificial color, oils (for consistency and texture), and spices may also be added.

Respectfully, on this one FMB, you are full of it. I respect your appreciation for Italian cheeses but Provel is not shit.

I think if you tried it in soups or mac and cheese you would like it. Make your own to know it's good quality with 1 cup white cheddar, 1/2 cup swiss, and 1/2 provolone.

I guess you don't like any of those?

You have to cook the sauce before baking. Break down some of the harder plant tissue and release the oils of the tomatoes and garlic.

Not my first rodeo. This works. You drain the tomatoes, so that helps with the wateriness. And the high heat from the Kettle Pizza will reduce and thicken the sauce. It’s a method I learned about from ATK and it works.

I am actually with you on the basil. I don't mind a bit of it, but it can get to be too much very quickly.

I am a thin crust guy all the way. The ground meat looks good and it even looks like Canadian Bacon vs. ham..

Next time I feed my kids pizza I'll try it.

I used to be a Pizza Queen guy before closing. I love lean meat, cracker crust, and quality cheese.

Pizza Queen is the best pizza I've ever eaten and I've eaten at a ton of pizza places. We contacted the granddaughter of the founder and she was going to try to revive the old Pizza Queen, but never anymore about it. That was about five years ago.

Didn't care much for Leo's years back (tried it once) and yet I liked Northern Lights pretty well. It took forever for delivery to Pleasant Valley and their thin crust sucked when put in a bag and steamed for 45 minutes. I think their ingredients are really good but slightly stingy. Mine never looked like that! They buy all their meats instead of processing their own or using the crap that pizza supply houses petal. It is better quality than most or was.
I haven't lived north since the 80's and friends up north always got name brand stuff when ordered for delivery but I will say Pizza shop up there is dammed good. Most of the time I just ate what was given to me. Even PaPa's is edible with a big ass Crown and coke...

I'd try Northern Lights again given the opportunity, Leo's? not so much.

Northern Lights was OK, decent Midwest style pizza.

One of the worst pizzas I've had in KC was from Judge's north of the river. Just a basic, flavorless pizza.

U-Gene's in Riverside and by the airport on the other hand, was my 2nd favorite pizza in KC. They had a Friday special of a large cheese pizza for $9.99 and it was NY style foldover greatness.

This U-Genes has my interest as I thought I new most the pizza joints in my neck of the woods.

Did you ever place that location I was talking about?

[srvy]

There was a Smaks in that location and Earl May lawn and Garden dont remember a auto center.

Diamond Joes Gentleman's club wanted to relocate to the Earl May and now pawnshop location. I think the neighborhood squashed it.

Ah. I wasn't aware you knew them personally. I was young when they closed, but I thought they had great pizza.

There was a blog about Pizza Queen a few years back and the granddaughter posted. Maybe it was a niece, doesn't really matter.

For some reason the place went down in flames. It wasn't because of the pizza.

Stewie,

YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT.

We contacted the granddaughter of the founder and she was going to try to revive the old Pizza Queen, but never anymore about it. That was about five years ago.

We didn't do shit, I doubt you know her name no less...

They sold both the businesses for good money following a death in the family and a Manager/ Owner who wanted to pursue a family business on his mothers side.

Don't say things that you have no knowledge of. The O.P. location's building was torn down for the new HyVee and the Shawnee location (Johhny C's is now closing after 30 +or-years.

[Simply Red]

en route - Large/Thin - Mushrooms, beef, ham, Jalapenis and extra cheese! Delish!

I have a new pizza joint called Greeks, It's awesome stuff but crust can be disappointing sometimes.

Think I'm gonna order my first Marcos later on

Sausage, bacon, ham, mushroom and onion should do it :hmmm:

[Simply Red]

Leo's Pizza has gone downhill but the did every since they moved across to the North side of Englewood Rd. I dont think they took their pizza oven with them.

Northernlights Pizza is pretty good anyone had it?

They DO look good - especially Northernlights - what a fun name too!

that's good - look for coupon codes on their site - I'd like for you to go thin crust (if you don't mind)

[Pablo]

I like the five ingredient orders from SR and Easy. What would be your five CP?

I'm going pepperoni, sausage, jalapenos, black olives and mushroom myself.

And yes, extra cheese counts as a topping.

Double Pepperoni, Jalapeno, Onion.. that's all I want. I suppose black olive or extra cheese

[cooper barrett]

Canadian bacon, mushrooms, Italian sausage, green peppers and anchovies. If no anchovies, then I'd sub Black olives.

Cracker crust with spicy sauce. My hack is to ask for pepper flakes to be sprinkled on the sauce before the cheese and toppings. A lot better that after it's cooked.

It's odd to say this - but their onion is really good. lol

Yes extra cheese - their cheese is noticeably better than the other chains.

sounds good. Never had anchovies outside of caesar dressing - I suppose i'd give it a whirl.

[TimBone]

Ham, pineapple, and easy on the sauce. That's the perfect pie.

Didn't care much for Leo's years back (tried it once) and yet I liked Northern Lights pretty well. It took forever for delivery to Pleasant Valley and their thin crust sucked when put in a bag and steamed for 45 minutes. I think their ingredients are really good but slightly stingy. Mine never looked like that! They buy all their meats instead of processing their own or using the crap that pizza supply houses petal. It is better quality than most or was.
I haven't lived north since the 80's and friends up north always got name brand stuff when ordered for delivery but I will say Pizza shop up there is dammed good. Most of the time I just ate what was given to me. Even PaPa's is edible with a big ass Crown and coke...

I'd try Northern Lights again given the opportunity, Leo's? not so much.


Northern Lights is interesting - I'd plow that for sure. I miss Funhouse, Minsky's and Tim's
