    Pretty damn good pizza. We ordered the Little Italy with extra cheese and loved it. Pizza lovers know how to properly cook a pizza and Mario's crew definitely loves pizza. Little char on the crust, melted (just enough) cheese, and fresh toppings. We're always amazed that/how people overcomplicate pizza. Price point reflects "what you get" and a large pie is around $30. Staff is friendly and helpful.

    Eat in or takeout. Since we are not from here, we did eat in. Restaurant was clean and parking is great with plenty of options. We were greeted immediately and service was great. The food was served quick and the serving sizes were plentiful. Great little lunch stop with variety. Was surprised to even see burgers on the menu.

    Food was so good I had the shrimp Alfredo pasta and meatballs for an appetizer I had a wonderful experience here and the staff was very friendly and the service was great We also had a take out order and they did it towards the end of the meal to make it to ensure freshness and customer satisfaction The ambiance is very welcoming and cozy it's like a little piece of Italy

    Food was amazing! Everyone was so nice. Service was excellent. Cosy little perfect place!

    Ordered for delivery; a chicken parm sandwich (panuzzo)... Just the outside bread came, no chicken, no sauce, nothing... an empty sandwich.... Literally empty...

    Good Italian food can be hard to find, especially with the many restaurants offering classic American-Italian favorites like Spaghetti w/ Meatballs or Lasagna. But for a very reasonable price, one can "finely dine" thanks to Mario's. I generally manage cooking in my household, but when my wife says "what did you plan for dinner?" I almost always recognize that as a request to get out. In this case we ordered in (shout out to DoorDash), and were pleasantly surprised at the incredible flavor of our selections. I had the Lasagna w/2 meatballs added on the side and it was hands down the best I've had in years! Rich, but not overwhelming, with just the right amount of meat, cheese and sauce to satisfy any appetite. My meal was followed by a luscious slice of carrot cake - a personal favorite. It too was outstanding! My wife chose the Spaghetti w/Meatballs, and a slice of FudgeCake, both of which she said were exceptional. Her only complaint was that the Spaghetti (and lasagna too) had a bit too much grease in them. It can be seen in the photos. Nothing a little paper towel can't manage but that won't remove the grease one can't see, and certainly not enough to have lost a star! Mario's Italian Grill just became a new haunt for me. However, next time I'll dine in. Wednesday night special is 2 pasta dinners, salad and dessert for $39.95.

    10/10 recommend! Whether it's dining in or taking out (or ordering a surprise birthday treat for my dad while I was living on the opposite coast), our experience is always incredible. The team at Mario's makes us feel like family. And the food reminds us of our time in NYC - we've tried the chicken parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, side salad, and of course, pizza. Everything is delicious! The pasta is the perfect texture, the meatballs homemade, the pizza is somehow thin and crispy while also being fully loaded and filling, and the salad veggies are crisp and fresh. When we are looking for a delicious, inviting experience, Mario's rises to the top of the list.

    I was looking for some Italian food to carry out for a Sunday/fun day afternoon in the park. Mario's Itallian grill was close, so I decided to give it a try. It was tucked away in a little strip plaza. The inside was rather small but clean and quaint. I ordered a chicken avocado salad and the lasagna for my husband. I called in my order and was told it would take 15 minutes. When I arrived after 15 minutes my food was ready. The chicken avocado salad had fresh sliced avocado, melted cheese, sweet onions, tomatoes, grilled chicken, and lettuce with your choice of dressing. The lettuce, tomatoes, onion and avocado were very fresh. The chicken seemed like it had been reheated a few times. It tasted ok, but would have been better with fresh grilled chicken and fresh grated cheese, vs. Melted cheese stuck to everything. The prices are very reasonable for the portion size offered. My salad was $12. The menu has all the classic Italian pasta dishes, pizza, salads, sandwiches, burgers, gyros and dessert. I would go back just to try more traditional Italian fare.

    I ordered a single slice of cheese to go. It came out in a timely fashion. It was cooked very well…read morewith just enough crisp and black spots but also not burnt or crunchy or anything unpleasant. It was a great slice of pizza. My friend order two slices of pepperoni. We waited 15 minutes until my friend got back up and asked them about his slices, it seemed they had forgotten about it and then they quickly handed him his slices after apologizing for the long wait. Despite mine being great, his was not unfortunately. His looks like it was pulled out of the oven early and was still floppy. No crisp to it at all. That's what some people like but I don't believe it's the standard. Despite this, his slices tasted good, I mean, how can you mess up a pep slice. The prices were alright for the area, I think my slice was like almost $4 after tax. I'll probably be back because of the convenience of being able to just order and pay right away and then get a slice a few minutes later. I would overall recommend.

    Although King Street offers a plentitude of stores to shop at south of Calhoun Street, the…read morerestaurants are few and far between. At the time that we were walking along King Street; my dad, brother, and myself became hungry. The cumulative high Yelp-rating led us to Sabatino's Pizza. It turns out, the reviews let us down. Located on Calhoun Street, a shouting distance from King Street and Marion Square, Sabatino's Pizza is primarily a take-out restaurant serving New York style pizza and other comfort food. In the ambiance of this take-out restaurant, we landed the only seat. It overlooked the food counter and menu board. Off the menu board we each ordered the $10.81 lunch special featuring two one-topping slices and a can of soda. The service and food just barely made three stars. Even though we were the only ones there when we walked in and left, there was zero interaction from the woman at the register. We had to look for the plastic utensils, even though she could of told us where they were there when we ordered. She did tell us that they were out of a few sodas. That included diet. The guy making the pizza served two of our pizzas together, then when it came to my brother's order there was only one which made him have to go to the counter to ask for the other one. In truth I wasn't here to make friends but to enjoy a supposedly four star New York style pizza. The two slices just barely made three stars. Although the pizza was decent at best, especially when I was hungry, there were areas of the cheese that were stuck to the crust. As far as toppings, I felt that they skipped on the mushrooms and saudages. My photo corresponding to this business is evidence. I was debating giving them less than three stars. The wildcard is the $10.81price for a rounded up to a decent lunch that relieved our appetites.

    I will preface this by saying that I have a bad habit of visiting restaurants at weird times (4pm…read morein this case), after lunch but before they get into the groove of dinner service. So it's entirely possible (and understandable) that I don't always get the best of what a place has to offer. That said, this was the worst pizza I've ever eaten. I was happy to see a place offer NY style pizza by the slice; you don't find that a lot in Charleston. Well, you won't find it here either. It was, generously, a home cook's first attempt at making pizza. There's something fundamentally off with the dough recipe, such that even a wood fired oven can't save it. The slices were overloaded with cheese. It was like eating wet cardboard. The meatballs were pretty good! The bartender was super pleasant and the space is attractive and welcoming. But they cannot make pizza. Normally I'm loathe to air out my business on Yelp like this; I prefer to communicate with the server if there's a problem with my food. But this wasn't an execution issue that could be fixed. A do-over would've produced the same result. Maybe, MAYBE they crush it with the neopolitan specialty pies. But I'll never know.

    pizza was so good,crust was thin with a crispy bottom. i highly recommend the meatball pizza. They…read morenight we went there was also live music. Price wise, the pizza was fairly priced would recommend.
