    I read on Reddit that Marios pizzas were some of the closest to the ones in NY. I ordered by phone because Slice increases the prices to take their cut. Our order was a medium extra cheese pepperoni pizza and an order of fries. The guy on the phone said it would be about 10 minutes. When I arrived, it was almost ready but we had no way to tell which order was mine. He hadn't taken my name. He asked for an order number but I did not have once since I did not order online. This wasn't a big deal but something to note. The guy found my order quickly but it turns out whomever took my order did not add pepperoni to the pizza. They had to take it out of the oven to add pepperoni to it but it was almost done. I was worried the pepperoni would not be cooked or was simply sitting on top of the cheese. Both items came to a little under $20. The fries were awesome- crispy, hot, and could work with a number of condiments. They were the type that are lightly coated with something so a vegetarian/vegan might want to inquire. They did not skimp on the pepperoni or cheese nor did the pepperoni stand out like it had not been in the oven the whole time. The cheese went almost to the edge of the pizza which I love. Nice crispy crust. Great cheese pull. Delicious. Their pizzas are not the kind that burst with spicy or zesty flavor. Nor do they have fresh Italian undertones. This is not fancy adult pizza but the type kids and adults can share. Mario's is a great simple pizza that is ready fast. Good fries and good pizza in the same establishment is hard to find. This will be my new go-to when I order carryout.

    The pizza is good. The manager is bad. I called in to get a slice when they opened at 11am. The guy told me 15 minutes. I showed up a few minutes later and waited in the car for another 10 minutes. Went inside, they never started the pizza slices. I asked why and the guy just kind of brushed me off, even though he saw me sitting in my car the whole time. He came out a time or two while I waited (the chef was inside the whole time.) He said "we don't have slices until 11:30am." That would have been fine if he told me that on the phone, not so fine since you told me at 11 it would be 15 minutes. Normally a little longer wait wouldn't be an issue, but i was making a quick trip for my lunch break. I told him i had tried to come grab a slice the night before and they were closed early. He asked when and I said I was there at 10. "We close at ten!" I explained that Google said they were open until 11 and he might want to edit the hours on there. He continued shouting at me, "We close at 10. It says that everywhere! don't know what Google you're looking at! We close at 10!" I pulled it up to show him, he pulled it up too. He then said "that needs to be changed!" No apology, nothing. They get all their ingredients and their desserts from Costco, I watched him bring them inside. The slice was fresh since I had to wait another additional 20 minutes. Due to the jerk that runs the place, I won't be back.

    Great pizza spot for a good price and chill vibes, especially if you're hitting the Senator for a movie right across the street. Eats: We did the half white half godfather 16" and it was way more than enough for two. The white was my favorite with the ricotta but if you're looking for a more stuffed and meaty feel, The Godfather's your best bet. Staff was kind and we even got a complimentary strawberry shortcake to take with us!

    Pretty good. Garlic knots and Caesar salad. Garlic knots were made to order gripe is that they weren't dripping in butter and garlic sauce but they were good and fresh. Salad was standard.

    Margherita Pizza -- the most beautiful pizza in all the land

    Mario's has quickly become my favorite pizza spot in Baltimore! I refuse to order form anywhere else since discovering it. To me, the true test of a good pizza is a restaurant's cheese and/or margherita pizza. Both from Mario's are simply phenomenal! I can eat a whole 12" of the margherita on my own --it is just THAT good. Crust is crispy and holds up to the generous amount of delicious sauce (they don't skimp on the sauce, LOVE them for this!), unlike those other pizza slices that immediately flop down when you pick them up and all the toppings fall off... that's the worst. They give just the right amount of mozzarella and basil too. Holy moly I'm drooling just thinking about it. Also, if you're a normal person and don't eat entire pizzas in one sitting like me, this pizza reheats super well! Crispy but still saucy and just plain perfection. I'm so so glad to have Mario's in the area. Pickup and delivery are always a breeze. Love that they sell single slices too. I'll soon be trying the subs if only I can break away from the pizzas for once. The meatballs are also delicious! Omg okay I'll stop now. Thank you Mario's for keeping me well fed during this pandemic!! #thankyouthursday

    Fries, mozzarella sticks, & fried ravioli... delicious!

    This restaurant is close to the Senator Theater. The food is amazing! We had the margarita pizza & it was terrific. The staff are friendly and very attentive. My family and I will certainly return here for a post movie meal.

    Just enjoy

    I live 2 blocks south of Mario's. I've eaten nearly every pizza in a 1-mile radius (that's a lot of pizza) there is nothing that really compares. The dough the sauce and the cheese it all comes together to create that great pie! It's always clean, bright and the staff is always friendly and helpful. But it's all about the pizza and this is THE PLACE and THE PIE!

I was hoping to park on the street to run in but ended up driving around for 10+ minutes before ending up in the lot. Turns out my parking was free so it worked out just fine. For the food, I got the cheese pizza with prosciutto and the mango habanero wings. The pizza was fantastic, and I really liked that you can order a half portion which was great for 2 people. The crust was crispy, and the cheese and sauce were great, and it was packed with prosciutto. The wings were also great, I loved the sauce and the sesame seeds on some of them which was a fun twist.

Parking anywhere downtown especially the inner harbor on the street is very limited; and the parking garages are insane at times. I found parking and made way to this establishment at the Power Plant. There was a Flippino festival going on at Power Plant as well. When we entered the establishment, we were immediately seated. Seating is only at high tops or the bar. We started off with a couple drinks, old bay wings and cheesesteak sliders. The drinks were ok, not 5 star rating. The cheesesteak sliders were okay as well. We ordered Old bay fries which came out great. After digesting the wings, sliders and fries we ordered the Peppers and Onions pizza with added spinach. The pizza came out very light. Ive had this pizza previously and it was toasted and not doughy. There was very little cheese. The pizza disappointed. So after all, I was very disappointed with the choice of this establishment today. Absolutely nothing but the friendly attentive staff was a plus. The staff were beyond attentive. It could be a bad day but definitely not good since I havent been here in about 3 plus years. The prices has increased tremendously as well. I wouldnt say not to go but based on today, I would be skeptical to return again for myself in the future.

He thought the filling was tasty and enjoyed the sauce. Their red sauce is a more chunky sauce with onions which I did not taste because I'm not a fan, but he would get it again. I'm still looking for a smooth sauce for some chicken parm, but no worries since the menu here has plenty of different sauce options! I enjoyed the chicken francese. The chicken was very tender and it was a generous portion. I felt it could have used a bit more flavor, but the sauce was a nice consistency and the linguine was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the complimentary rolls that came with the meal. Overall, I enjoyed this spot and will try more items in the future!

The space itself is small but homey, which I liked. It's a little bit of a tight fit for everyone in there but it works. The service overall was great. The chef came over and greeted us, and even checked in later, and we had a great conversation with their somm. The food was fantastic! The pasta's and pizzas were both unique and delightful. We split a ceasar salad, meatballs, the greek pizza, a sausage pizza, and two speciality pastas- a cacio e pere (pear), and another one that I can't pronounce in italian but was a very thin lasagna like noodle with meats/spices inside. We also split one of their desserts, which i really liked. Shout out to the hazelnut gelato which was particularly delicious. I will absolutely return!

There was a curtain, but it was pulled back. The market stuff is still there and the outside of the building is pretty dark. I wish they had played up the speakeasy part more, but they made up for it in service, food, and drink. We were seated quickly. There were only a few tables left and we felt lucky to grab one. Our waiter came quickly and we immediately ordered the drink special, a butternut squash old fashioned. It was amazing and the bartender came out and told us how he made it. I volunteered to be taster for future creations. I don't know if he will take me up on it. We ordered the Plum and Burrata Salad, Fristo misto, and a Goat pizza. The salad was so good. I could have had it as a meal. It had a generous amount of plums, barrata and prosciutto. The pizza had a perfect hand tossed crust. The toppings were also great. I should have asked for some red pepper flakes but that was my fault. The Frito misto was not my favorite. The breading seemed fresh which is good. I liked the shrimp better than the calamari. We didn't get to try dessert because we were about to explode. I can't wait to go back and explore more on the menu.
