Marco's Pizza is out to be elected America's Pizza. To kickoff its campaign, it took to the streets of Cleveland during the RNC in a retro campaign vehicle complete with rooftop speakers.

In advance of the official announcement, Marco's Pizza was in Cleveland campaigning during the RNC. Employees handed out pizza and information about what makes Marco's Pizza a better choice, canvasing the streets in a vintage vehicle with a rooftop speaker reminiscent of a scene from the movie The Blues Brothers.

Marco's is also encouraging its brand supporters to vote every Tuesday, "Election Days," starting July 26 and running through the November election for a special one-day offer. And during the entire campaign season, Marco's will feature a limited time Steak Asiago Pizza, because Americans love steak.

"With all the buzz around the presidential candidates, we thought a "Vote Marco's" campaign would be a fun way to get more consumers to experience our brand," said Cathy Hull, chief marketing officer at Marco's Pizza. "We make our dough fresh in stores every day, use a special blend of three fresh cheeses and our sauce has not changed since our founder Pat Giammarco created it in 1978. This is how we're able to make great tasting pizza. And it's why we are growing so fast."

Marco's was founded by native Italian, Pasquale "Pat" Giammarco in 1978. Today, it's America's fastest-growing pizza company. The company has grown from its roots as a beloved Ohio brand to operate more than 720 stores in 35 states and three countries.
