Quick-service restaurant to open in former Ben & Jerry’s at 798 North Highland Ave.
Marco’s Pizza, which has been in the works for over a year in Virginia-Highland, is nearing an opening date.
Rob Wallace, owner of the location, told What Now Atlanta that the restaurant is slated to open next Monday, June 27.
Hours of operation will be from 11 AM to 10 PM Sunday – Thursday and 11 AM to 11 PM Friday – Saturday.
Located at 798 North Highland Avenue, Marco’s Pizza will replace a former Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop that operated for 15 years at the location before closing in 2011.
The restaurant chain and franchise currently has over 600 stores in 36 states.
How do you think Marco’s Pizza will do at this location? Tell us below…

We hae a lot of good local restaurants . Sorry to see a chain come to VAHI.
Chain delivery pizza in VA HI…..What is the world coming too???
If that place sat empty since 2011, i can’t imagine what rent they were asking.
Marco’s just opened up on Virginia Avenue in Hapeville, as well. Yes there are TWO Virginia Avenues around Atlanta. In any case, the pizza was awful. Everyone around here tried it with hope it would be good but nobody around here has ordered again. It’s just boring and cold and flat. The spot they picked in Hapeville has been nothing but a revolving door for failed restaurants. Rising Roll, a generic lunch place, a hot dog place, and another generic meat and three place have all failed there in 15 years. Marco’s will just be next.
And that’s fine: Virginia Avenue Hapeville just got a new Mellow Mushroom, open for about 10 days. I suppose it is technically in College Park but nobody will care. The thing is, it’s open.
We also have a Little Caesars now, and their cheapo $5 pizza is still better than Marcos. Ouch.
So why would anyone want Marcos?
Now, a Jet’s Pizza would have been a far better idea. They make a decent pie.
