I ordered one slice of the meat lovers pizza and I did not really like it. Parts of my pizza slice had this strange metallic taste to it, almost as if the taste of the cooking tray went into the pizza. On top of that, it was very greasy. Also, I would suggest adding some all natural or even organic soda options to the menu. Lastly, I would also suggest adding a recycling bin, because many recyclable items end up as waste (like the pizza box that came with my order). I cannot really say anything about the other food items, because I only had the meat lovers pizza. However, I do give credit to the people who were working here, they were very nice. I also love the classic look and feel that this place has to it.

First visit here and it was amazing! Me and boyfriend always pass this hidden gem when going to Petco and we decided to stop here for lunch. We got their famous steak and cheese which is to die for. We also got hotdogs, fried chicken, they’re amazing soda glass bottles, and the cheesecake & red velvet cake. They’re reasonable priced in my opinion for the fresh authentic food they provide. Love the vibes here. Will be coming back.

First time in over 50 years I’ve been disappointed!!! The pizza isn’t hot and fresh at lunch, seemed to get a reheated leftover slices, Mario’s has taken a different look from its original mom & pop neighborhood favorite that was the main stay of Lefty and Joe; their love and passion is gone with it being replaced by a food truck without wheels hot dog joint…Mario’s is now dead and buried…only two stars from my leftover memories which was a 5+ star pizza palace.

If you like Sicilian Pizza, this is a great place to grab a “slice”. Rather than the traditional triangle slices that’s more common, Mario’s slices comes in squares. The sauce and cheese is packed with flavor, and if you’re a still hungry their menu has a great selection of other options from hotdogs to hamburgers. Best of all, there’s an ice cream shop attached to the building. Dessert!!

First time here and I will definitely make this a recurring visit. Guy Fieri of Triple D needs to come visit this place. That show can not be legit with him giving this place a food review. The steak and cheese was amazing!!! When they say deep fried chicken, they mean deep fried chicken. The chicken was crisp to a perfection. Their hotdogs were great as well and I am not a hotdog person. If you appreciate old school pop like I do, then you will like their selection of drinks. This is the spot to be late night, date night, or any time of outing. Just make sure your hungry. I will try their ice cream the next time I visit.

Came here twice and really liked the ambiance. Staff and patrons are very friendly and the food is pretty good.
The ice cream was top notch, with dozens of flavors. If you’re getting a milkshake, it’s more like a hundred flavors. Lots of variety.
The downside is there can be quite the line, so try and get there around dinner time (like 530-600 pm). We notice the line for ice cream getting quite long as the evening went on.
Luckily the actual food section wasn’t really an issue, it seems.
This is about a five minute walk from the station, so very easy to get to. We will be coming back often, especially for the ice cream. (The portions are quite generous too!)

We really enjoyed this place. We had the 3 pepper, pepperoni, and Hawaiian. All were good. Small slices for the price. They are about 4 x 4 in size. At about $5 each, they are kind of expensive. I would definitely recommend this place.
