US pizza restaurant chain Marco's Pizza has announced the expansion of its menu offerings with the introduction of its pizzoli.

The new item features meats and four melted cheeses rolled up in the fresh house-made dough and baked to crispiness, then finished with garlic sauce and romesan seasoning and paired with a side of dipping sauce.

The creation of pizzoli takes inspiration from pizza and stromboli, and is claimed to offer a new way to experience the flavours of Marco's – either paired with pizza or as an on-the-go lunch or late-night option.

Pizzoli comes in four varieties – pepperoni, buffalo chicken, pepperoni and sausage, and chicken bacon ranch.

Packed with flavour and cheese, each variety is made-to-order to deliver the hand-crafted taste.

Marco's Pizza chief marketing officer Denise Lauer stated: "At Marco's Pizza, we believe in delivering flavour in relevant ways with innovative new menu items that offer consumers greater variety and choice.

"By tapping into the emerging handhelds category with the launch of our new pizzoli, we can offer even more crave-able options for consumers. Our pizzoli is perfect for every eating occasion at home, at work or on the go – as a sidekick for pizza, as a grab-and-go lunch alternative, as a satisfying late-night snack, or as a convenient catering option for a gathering or event." 

The new pizzoli is available at an introductory price of $5.99 for a limited time only at participating Marco's locations.

In October 2023, in collaboration with Mike's Hot Honey, Marco's Pizza rolled out the Hot Honey magnifico pizza.

In September 2023, Marco's teamed up with mobility technology company Magna to assess new mobility solutions for last-mile food delivery in North America.

Established in 1978 in Ohio by Italian-born Pasquale ("Pat") Giammarco, Marco's Pizza operates more than 1,100 stores in 34 US states, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas.
