General Info

828 Family Pizzeria, formerly known as Marco's, continues the family business started in 1933 of cooking unparalleled New York-style pizza in two locations in Asheville, North Carolina. Marco's Great Uncle Patsy started the family's first pizzeria when he expanded the offerings of his ice cream parlor to include the uniquely New York-Italian dish. Patsy's Pizzeria in Harlem originally used a coal-fired oven to create a crust that is thin and crisp on the outside. Today, the fourth generation of pizza-makers in Marco's family continues to use Patsy's recipe and methods to create a dish that is unlike anything else available outside New York.828 Family Pizzeria, formerly known as Marco's, continues the family business started in 1933 of cooking unparalleled New York-style pizza in two locations in Asheville, North Carolina.
