Score
Medium Risk

Marco's Pizza has been inspected four times since 2024. Marco's Pizza was last inspected on Jul 1, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

Looking across the full record, “personal cleanliness” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

Compared to other Cumming restaurants (averaging 91), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
