Marco's Pizza experiments with alternative delivery methods, like horse & buggy. It's all part of its Fact or Fool social media promotion. Go to Marco's Facebook page to cast your vote.

"Drones are a viable option for getting pizza to people in downtown areas," explained John McCauley, Marco's Senior Brand Director. "But if you're living on a farm in America's breadbasket region, a draft horse and a buggy is a real advantage. The goal is to have a number of proven delivery approaches that we can employ, matching them with the local conditions."

Having drones and draft horses compete for pizza delivery might seem like an April Fool's Day prank.

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 700 stores in 35 states and three countries.
