From street side outward appearances, Mario's has an old world Italian pizza parlor look, complete with heavy aluminum framing and a red neon sign denoting PIZZA, without the neon highlighting.
Inside, three young Mexican staffers were hard at work prepping, handling the counter and readying deliveries yet I was one of only two inside. Quite possibly a take out and phone order heavy business, not due in any part to the inner cleanliness, the place was shining from front to back, walls to floors.
Knowing that this area was heavily laden with Italians, some of the mafiosi persuasion, I envisioned a slice of pizza that would not disappoint. Error in judgment on my part to set the bar at that level. Outside appearance and physical proximity be dammed, the slice was beyond boring. No character at all. Dull sauce, the cheese was bland and the dough was unfortunately suffering from the same case of the humdrum ingredients.
I've had better pizza elsewhere than here, but I came here as I was on the way home from visiting my former neighborhood. Mario's Pizza is very mediocre bland and certainly not burnt. It's okay but not the best as it need some basil leaves.
Price is not reasonable at $4.00 per slice. Extremely overpriced. Over exaggerated.
I used to love this pizzeria back in the day. Now that it's under different ownership, the quality of the food has decreased enough that I need to knock off a star. Whenever I go during the day, it's for takeout and the pizza is usually not fresh unless you go at 11am when they open. Everything looks like it's been sitting out for hours. Sometimes they even stack specialty slices directly on top of another. They have no regard for presentation which makes their food less appetizing. The pizza is also usually too doughy. However, the workers are very nice, as always. The reason I come here on occasion is for convenience when I need something quick (because I work a block away).
