America’s Most Loved Pizza: Marco’s Pizza Opened in Western Hills

Authentic Pizza Restaurant Satisfies Cravings; Brings Italian Heritage and Primo Pizza to Cincinnati

The nation’s Most-Loved and Most-Trusted Pizza Brand, Marco’s Pizza, opened a new location in Cincinnati. Situated at 5098 Glencrossing Way, locals can expect a Primo Italian pizza experience that uses the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. The new location opened its doors to the Western Hills community in November.

The Marco’s Pizza location is owned and operated by local entrepreneur Tony Boeing. As a Cincinnati native, Boeing was first exposed to Marco’s Pizza 10 years ago when the first Cincinnati location opened. Formerly serving as the president of a local engineering and manufacturing company, Boeing retired in 2017, but was still actively pursuing business ownership. He leaned back on his love for pizza and knew Marco’s Pizza was a brand he truly believed in. This is his second Marco’s Pizza location, with intentions to open more in the future.

“I wanted to bring more Marco’s Pizzas to the Cincinnati community because they provide fresh, quality food to their guests,” said Boeing. “I was a customer first and I value the authenticity of the brand, which is why I’m excited to give others the opportunity to experience the Marco’s difference.”

Marco’s Pizza started in Ohio. The founder, Pasquale “Pat” Giammarco, grew up making pizzas with his father after they immigrated to the United States from Sulmona, Italy. Fast forward several years later, he created Marco’s Pizza to capture the Italian spirit and flavors he was raised on.
