Marco Delgado
Founder & Head Chef
The visionary behind Marcos. Marco has spent 25+ years perfecting his craft, bringing the tradition of authentic marco's pizza to Chicago's West Side.
The Marcos Story
It all started in a small kitchen on West Fullerton Avenue. Marco Delgado, a first-generation Chicago resident with deep roots in traditional Italian cooking, dreamed of sharing the flavors of his grandmother's kitchen with the entire city. In 2009, that dream became Marcos — a neighborhood pizzeria built on the simple belief that great food brings people together.
What began as a single oven, two employees, and a handwritten menu quickly became one of Chicago's most-loved pizza destinations. Locals lined up around the block for the signature Marcos pizza — slow-fermented dough, hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes, and generous layers of premium toppings.
"Every marcos pizza we make carries the same care and love Marco put into that very first pie. That never changes."
Today, Marcos serves the Chicago community from our flagship location at 6008 W Fullerton Ave. We continue to honor our roots with marco pizza recipes passed down through generations — while embracing the city's diverse palate with new flavors and specialty pies our guests love.
