The iconic $1 pizza slice is coming back—to one Marco’s Pizza store in one town for one day: Thursday, May 28. And that town is not New York City.
The promotion will take place at the Marco’s restaurant located at 6145 Westwood Boulevard in Orlando. It’s a celebration of the chain’s new New York-style pizza. For three hours—from 4 to 7 p.m.—guests can pay $1 for a slice of the specialty LTO pie that debuted earlier this month.
As the company stated in a press release, “Florida is the No. 1 state that residents of New York City relocate to. While these former New Yorkers may be enjoying a simpler lifestyle, they often crave the tastes of home like a New York Style Pizza!”

Guests can stop by to try the new foldable, oversized slices that were crafted and workshopped through 50-plus rounds of testing. To get it right, Marco’s Pizza spent months studying NYC pizzerias and workshopping dough, sauce and structure alongside New York pizza expert Scott Wiener of Scott’s Pizza Tours.
NYC basketball icon, current Orlando assistant coach, and pizza enthusiast God Shammgod—best known for his legendary streetball roots in Harlem and Rucker Park culture—will also be onsite bringing a taste of New York energy to the pop-up experience.
