Marco's Coal Fired Pizza - Ballpark

We know from experience that there's nothing more satisfying than that first bite of a truly great pizza: the crunch and chew of the perfect crust, the sweetness of the sauce, the earthy aroma of basil and the salty taste of fresh mozzarella that lingers for just a moment on your tongue. At Marco's we want to bring that feeling to you, which is why we've worked hard to bring you the best ingredients, like Antico Molino Caputo flour, San Marzano tomatoes from Italy and the freshest locally grown produce. Our pizza makers are trained and certified by the Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napolitano, and we bake our pizzas in handmade brick ovens from Naples. For us, the reward is in the results. Taste our efforts and see if we don't have you dreaming of warm Neapolitan nights, no passport required.

"We lived in Naples, Italy for three years, so are always looking for good pizza napoletana. Marco's is "vera", which means they follow the very strict rules for both the ingredients and the process. This is the only Vera Napoletano pizza place in Denver, and you can taste the difference. We have been there as a couple and with our kids and have always had exceptional service. The happy hour specials are an excellent deal. Good wine list with some lesser known Italian gems. Delicious tiramisu! As close to Naples as you can get in the middle of America!"

"Sad to see that the pizza quality has taken a dive at this place. What used to be amazing pizzas are now something that would compare with a whole foods pizza at best. Sure fancy ingredients, but sloppy execution and un-refined flavors... Too bad."

The lemoncello chicken wings are a great starter.
High energy younger crowd, which is fine if you are not after quiet conversation.

"Based on previous opentable comments, so glad we followed their recommendations to this delicious gem. We had pizza and the DELICIOUS coal fired lemon herb chicken wings. Free parking was an added bonus, as well. Only disappointment was that they don't have a "dipping sauce" to complement their delicious wings. I understand that blue cheese or ranch may be too heavy, but I love dipping my wings and would have loved the option to enhance the flavor on those lemon herb wings! Maybe I'll bring my own sauce????"
