Meet Us Monday: Marco’s Pizza RVA

Posted: July 28, 2026 | Author: Real Life Staff
This #MeetUsMonday, we’re excited to highlight one of our incredible community partners and Mark L. Wheless REAL LIFE Champion of the Year Award recipients, Marco’s Pizza Richmond, VA.

Marco’s is known for serving delicious pizza, but their locally owned Richmond stores are just as committed to serving the community. Through fundraising, volunteer projects, donations, and partnerships with schools and nonprofits, they believe in showing up for their neighbors.

Katie, Marco’s Director of Community Partnerships, shared, “Community is at the heart of everything we do. We don’t just want to be the place where people order pizza on Friday night. We want to be a business that shows up when our neighbors need us.”

That commitment is one of the reasons they chose to partner with REAL LIFE. As Katie puts it, “REAL LIFE isn’t just meeting immediate needs. It’s helping people rebuild, find hope, and create lasting change. That’s exactly the kind of work we want to stand behind.”

One of their favorite memories is our annual golf tournament, where Chef Marco delivered fresh pizza around the course from a golf cart. It’s moments like those that make this partnership so much fun.
Their advice to other businesses? “Don’t overthink it. Just start. You don’t have to solve every problem to make a difference.”

Thank you, Sara, Harry, Katie, and the whole team at Marco’s Pizza RVA, for investing in REAL LIFE and our community. We’re grateful for your partnership and proud to have you as part of the REAL LIFE family.

Could your business be our next community partner? We’d love to connect and explore how we can make an impact together. Send us a message to learn more!
