The Marco’s Pizza Italian Chef salad is a fresh, hearty option that delivers bold Italian flavor without feeling heavy. It’s built on a crisp lettuce blend and typically includes premium deli meats like ham and salami, grilled chicken, colorful veggies (peppers, onions, olives, tomatoes, spinach), and a mix of rich cheeses. It works great as a standalone meal, or as a lighter side next to pizza, wings, or bread.
