This is my second review of Mario the baker! fuh·ged·da·boud·it! Being a New York native, I struggle to find decent Italian food in my area , so when I came along this place I was in Italian food heaven. Went here the other day and grabbed the veal cutlet sandwich to go. The veal was so tender and the toppings were so fresh. The woman at the counter smiled and looked like she was really busy even though there wasn't many people inside. (This was about 2:00 in the afternoon. The restaurant itself is wide open and it's family friendly. I haven't tried the pizza yet but I heard good things. You can't go wrong with Mario the Baker read more

Good Pizza for Florida. Loved the Crispiness and loved how thin it was. The only negative I found it to have just a little bit too much salt. On the Dave Portnoy scale, I would give it a 7.6 which is not bad of a pizza. Definitely will be coming back here again. Me and the wifey have been hunting pizza joints since I moved to FL. Florida will get it right one day. Just like the Bagels and Pork Roll Egg and Cheeses. Almost forgot the garlic rolls. Those are definitely a hit. Wish the marinara sauce was better though. read more

Old school American-Italian pizza joint is a happy bustling biz, both in the family-filled dining room, and the takeaway traffic. A family biz run by enough Italians that it still has authenticity. It lacks the sawdust on the floor of Mike's Pizza, a memory of my youth in Encino, California, but the PIZZA is that most classic AMERICAN, New York style that has been washed away by a lot of Italian reinventions of what was born here. Not burnt, like that spazzatura that they serve up at Anthony's. Another American classic, the garlic rolls, are the best that I've had in South Florida. Fresh. Actual garlic in the garlic oil. Not burnt. They're a big take home fave. Service is really excellent considering how big the place is. There are a lot of regulars here. The wait staff rolls with them great, and welcomes newbies pretty well too. Plenty of parking. They do a heap of take out. Do call ahead. No app, yet? It will make things go much better. read more

Great basic Italian food. Eggplant Parm is possibly the best I've ever had. Not breaded! For some strange reason, it tastes even better the next night when I reheat the leftovers. For about $18, I always bring half of it home. And the rolls are amazing. Next time, I think I'm going to try something different, and order eggplant parm to go for later meals. read more

Just OK Italian food but really good garlic rolls. My chicken parm came in a deep metal dish so you're really couldn't tell what the chicken look like. It was covered in sauce and cheese and baked. Gravy was right out of a can With all the really good Italian restaurants around I don't know how they stay so busy because it's really not inexpensive, but they were busy so there's a lot of people that like them. Personally, NYPD, Cucina Moderna, and New York Pizza Restaurant for the same money are far better. read more

I've been going to Mario the Baker for my entire life... my grandparents brought me there, so it's a special place to me! It's probably the best casual Italian restaurant in palm Beach County... The pizza is awesome - I recommend ordering it well-done. Chicken Parm is my go-to and the garlic rolls are to die for! This is a pretty loud and crowded restaurant during busy times, but they turn tables around pretty quickly. They also have an outdoor patio. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant to anyone in the area... I'm from an Italian New York family. When the family visits us here in West Palm Beach, they ask to go to Mario the Baker... enough said. read more

My husband and I decided to give Mario the baker a try for the first time after reading amazing reviews. We walked in and were amused by a very loud and crowded mom and style pop style restaurant because that usually means the food is amazing right? WRONG!! We were greeted and the waitress took our orders, my husband wanted to add chicken to his pasta dish and they said no the chef does not change his dishes as if they were running a Michelin star restaurant We placed our order starting off with Garlic knots which were actually amazing after chomping on their garlic knots we were so excited to try the food when it arrived .We took our first bite; the disappointment we felt was heart breaking my broccoli rabe and sausage dish was as tasteless as a piece of cardboard and my husbands dish tasted like it was straight out of can of chef Boyardee. Definitely recommend if you like tasteless bland food read more

There aren't any great local pizza spots near my house and I'm excited to say Mario the Baker might be the first on my list. My husband and I ordered pizza to go and were pleasantly impressed by the authenticity and flavor. Toppings were plentiful and well seasoned. I also got a side of their pizza sauce and it tasted fresh and homemade! The pizza crust was a bit floppy and hardened by the time we got to eat it so it's hard to give a 5/5. We plan on going back to dine-in and I will update my rating when we do! The only downside of our experience was the fact that they don't deliver pizza and we couldn't figure out any delivery service to deliver so we had to pick it up but I'm not mad about it read more

Our server was attentive from the start, offering recommendations and checking in at the right moments. The stars of the show were the veal parmigiana and eggplant rolatini. The veal parmigiana featured a tender cutlet with crisp breading, topped with fresh mozzarella and Parmigiano in a vibrant homemade marinara simmered with tomatoes, garlic, and fresh herbs. It was served over house-made spaghetti with al dente chew and wheaty depth. The eggplant rolatini included grilled eggplant slices rolled with herbed ricotta and baked in the same rich marinara for creamy and savory balance. From warm welcome to final espresso, Agliolio delivered an authentic, flavor-packed Italian experience.

My work colleagues and I were greeted by a friendly host and sat at a table. But everything from service went down hill from there when our actual table server arrived. We were immediately greeted with "You ready", with a frowned face. We asked for water with lemon (never received) and was later served water from a pitcher (without lemons) only later to see an adjacent table served water from a picture with lemon and orange slices. Didn't make much of that. But when our waiter returned to take our order the second time, again with the same "you ready" frown faced I asked for help with the menu. I could hear her sigh so loud I wanted not to believe the feeling that we were bothering her in some way; and there was maybe only a quarter of the tables with customers. After placing our orders I asked my colleagues if they were getting the same vibe as I was from her and they both felt the same way. From my seating angle I could see this young lady server when she approached the front bar/seating area of the restaurant; which appeared to be where the other waiters all gathered when waiting. But I noticed her smiling and engaging in friendly conversation with two customers sitting at the bar. I noticed this difference from how she treated us vs these other guest throughout the entire time. With them she was smiling, engaging and not in any flirtatious way, but seemingly just being nice....being a good waiter. Clearly she was choosing NOT to be nice to us, and this bothered me internally because I did not know why. Our friendly greeter from when we arrived was seen serving another table and whose behavior was consistently friendly with everyone. So why the difference with our waiter I kept asking myself. I still gave a generous tip despite this service. It was important to me to do so, but I probably won't be back here, and this would have been a nice place to go back to with mi amor.

I'm truly amazed when I see a negative review from Mario's. This place has been around a long time because they do things right. Mario's garlic rolls are the best I've ever tasted ,I bring home 3-dozen when I go there and eat. The pizza is the best I have ever had, Grimaldi' s comes in second and it was Sinatra's favorite. I bring home a pie or two as well. The gravy is incredible, I usually take home a quart ,so are the baked dishes. The prices are more then fair. Most servers are pros, not newbies. I drive 35-miles each way for the food at Mario's. Enough written. Do yourself a favor and try this southern Italian restaurant. Diners,Drive-ins,and Dives... Guy Fieri would love this place. There are always Italian people eating when I'm there. The owners are Italian. Even though I'm not Italian, I love it. Mario keep up the great work . Your the best. Happy holidays. read more

My experience tonight? I was surrounded by assholes and morons. Really good pizza. TERRIBLE service and attitudes from the staff. The old ass lady with red hair had nothing but an attitude all because my boyfriend wasn't there in-time and "couldn't sit us without everyone present". Who cares?! The rest of us were and it's not like this is damn Ruth's Chris Steakhouse or Cheesecake Factory - it's Mario the Baker! Our waitress had an anchor tattoo on her right arm so I complimented her for it because I love anchors - she gave me the biggest attitude I've ever seen!! Like seriously? Hating ass bitch!!! The rest of the time she barely even showed up to refill our glasses. Haters man. The whole staff is full of some seriously hating ass bitches and morons. I had to put my hater blockers on just to block the glare of their hating ass stares. read more

Wanted pizza after the movies, so there it was. That is probably how they get most customers, because it can't be the food. Pizza tasted like cardboard with tomato paste and string on top, rather grab a pizza from anywhere else and they charge way too much for it when you can get it elsewhere for half the price. Pasta was like any frozen brand nothing to write home about that is for sure. Also found the restrooms to be dirty and and decided to wait and use one elsewhere. For not being busy, not sure why they couldn't clean them. Staff was rude and did not want to make one of our pasta orders as asked, without sauce. Go anywhere else!!! Not worth the money or the experience. read more

Dirty parking lot, should have paid attention and not gone further. Heard it was good though so I wanted to see for myself. Tables had to be cleaned before we sat down, which was weird since it wasn't busy. Rude workers, made me feel very uncomfortable and like they were doing me a favor for me patronizing their business. Food was nothing special, could have got a lot of similar tasting pizza frozen pizzas for the same price. Very expensive in the day of $5 pizzas everywhere else and the others taste far superior. I won't be returning, we saw vermin in the parking lot as we left, made me throw up in my mouth a little. read more

As a local, had to try it once, shouldn't have even done that. Service was horrible, slow as molasses and would not make to order, a simple pasta without sauce. Pasta tasted like it came out of the grocery store freezer, definitely nothing to write home about and the pizza was also lacking any flavor, tasted a bit like cardboard. i would have rather had a frozen pizza. Stay away if you like cleanliness, good service and flavorful food. read more

The pizza is excellent and the people running it are awesome... friendly and accommodating... they care about their customers and have a great attitude. I went the day before their pizza was voted the Best in Palm Beach County for 2025. In that regard, it's worthy of the award. Was impressed with my first visit here... started with a super fresh salad, excellent. Loved my slice of "The Trio"... Fresh Mozzarella, Pesto, Vodka Sauce while I waited for my pie. Pizza was great but would love this pie with a thinner crust... then has the potential to be one of the best pies anywhere. When I spoke to the pizza maker, he understood, and said his customers like it like this, but next time I order a pie, ask for a thinner crust and they will make it that way. That is impressive... and exciting! Be back for that soon, and report on it. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I called three times to check on delivery and they stated they could not get ahold of their delivery driver. I asked for a discount on the $83 charge for the pizzas and they offered nothing. Yes, $83 for three pizzas. I'm hopeful this was an extreme example but just warning others before ordering. We were only 0.9 miles from their store. When the delivery driver arrived he stated he was the only driver. We could have picked the pies up if we had known it was such an issue. Sorry for the poor review but it could have been handled far better. Buyer beware.

The order tracker was especially helpful, it let me know exactly when it was a good time to head to the restaurant to pick up my food. When I arrived, it was a little confusing figuring out where to go because the areas for dine-in and pickup weren't clearly labeled outside. However, once I figured it out, the pickup process was quick and smooth. The pizzas looked amazing, smelled delicious, and tasted just as good. We'll definitely be keeping Ah-beetz on our list for future takeout orders.

Wow we were sooo excited when a friend recommended the white clam pizza from Ah-Beetz New Haven…read morepizza in Royal Palm Beach. We haven't had our favorite White Clam pizza from Villa Monte's in Old Bethpage NY for almost 5years. You could imagine our excitement to finally find a place that makes it. They have a huge parking lot out front/plenty of free parking. Let me also mention HomeGoods/Marshall's is in the same plaza!! They offer indoor & outdoor seating. The inside was small with a pickup area They also had 2 refrigerators with drink options. They said the wait for a table would be 40 mins so we decided to take it to go. I'm not sure what went wrong that evening but the outcome was extremely disappointing. The white clam pizza was absolutely a HORRIBLE disaster Clams would of been nice It Failed failed failed in so many ways. The pizza was absolutely saturated in a puddle of what looked like water or grease. Seriously, it was loaded loaded with tons of garlic, with a few minced clams (hardly existed) & had absolutely no flavor other then overcooked garlic/ on the charred side flavor (disgustingly Strong) We absolutely could not find the cheese or breadcrumb topping. We also ordered the garlic sticks They were cold & dry They had less garlic than the pizza. One pic is of their advertised pizza they show. Sadly it's not even close to what we thought it would be given The reality speaks for itself. We will not recommend based on what we tried. It was not worth $28.00 without tip We had to throw out the entire order You can be the judge
