I grew up going to the Mary's Pizza in Sonoma, and I have very fond memories of endless breadsticks, creamy pesto, and pizza galore. It was a family place. My sister and I got to play with pizza dough and run around the big oak tree outside. Flash-forward 20 years, and I found myself going to the Mary's in Windsor with my wife, her stepmom, and her teenage brother. On the way over, I could not shut up about breadsticks, even though I haven't been to a Mary's in years and did not know if the breadsticks were still free (or even offered). They were, and it was great. After the first round when we walked in, I had everyone hooked and keeping an eye on the basket at the front counter. The pizzas were good, not great--the pesto chicken was a bit too greasy, but the Napoletana was pretty much perfect. The server was very attentive and was offering 55th anniversary glasses for $1--I had to get one for my sister for her birthday. We went in the early evening on a Friday night, and it started getting crowded after we had already been served. It was great to see so many families showing up, because it reminded me of my own visits with family when I was growing up. read more

We are huge fans of Mary's, but after giving this location two chances we are not fans of the Windsor Marys. I use to be a server so I am forgiving. The first experience I thought maybe they were understaffed so that is why we were told 30 minutes after we ordered pesto breadsticks that they were out and why we didn't get our food for an hour after we ordered. Or why the service was also equally as bad. We went to Mary's for the second chance yesterday around 3pm. It wasn't busy... 4 other tables and everyone had their food. We ordered pesto breadsticks that came out 30 minutes after we ordered them and they were crispy and burnt. We didn't complain and ate them because we were hungry. Our food took about 45 minutes to come out after we ordered. The spaghetti didn't have garlic bread which is listed that is comes with. And my veggie calzone had a ton of onion and garlic, only a few olives and mushrooms and no bell pepper. All the veggies seemed pumped together instead of spread out on the calzone. It was also cold and doughy in the middle. l so I couldn't eat it. The server never came back to check on us until we were done. I told her I couldn't eat the calzone because it was cold and doughy. She apologized and also said it took hella long. Ummm yeah it did. She offered to have them remake it but I didn't want to wait another 45 minutes. We will come back to Mary's but not the Windsor location. read more

My family has been eating here since we moved to Windsor 3 years ago, and it keeps getting worse. It used to be a place where you could get value for the prices, but that is no longer the case. We went in last night for a quick(ish) dinner, expecting to get the value we are used to. Our experience was far different. To start, the men's restroom was horrific. Smelly, dirty floors, and poop (yes poop) smears on the toilet seat. I told the hostess about it, and she just kept going on about her business - didn't let anyone know. Food: we waited 45 minutes for a pasta dish, cesar salad, and chicken wings. The first 2 were mediocre at best, and my wings were served room temperature. I took one bite and had to send them back. the waitress said they were going to redo the wings, but when they came back to the table, they were the same wings just tossed in more buffalo sauce. I could tell because they were even colder than the first batch, and I GOT THE WING BACK THAT I TOOK A BITE OUT OF THE FIRST TIME! They didn't even try to microwave them to heat them up, just tossed them in more sauce and sent them back to me! I know this isn't fine dining, but I'd expect more from any restaurant. When I told the server (who was really apologetic), she told the manager who seemed annoyed about the situation. Pretty disappointed about that - and having to wait over an hour just to send chicken wings (I mean chicken wings!) back twice. Sorry Mary's, we won't be coming back for a long time. read more

Waitstaff I. Training, which is good/fine; except I don't like being told " not a problem, no worries" when I ask for something that should already be on the table, like pepper or, Parm. I know tha I'm not worried, nor am I a problem- I want good service; being told multiple times that I'm not a problem and to not worry is tedious, irritating and a total frustration. Can't tell you how much I amtuurned off by that rhetoric. A " you're welcome " is decent, polite and not confrontational. read more

I can't give this Mary's a four star rating tonight but my average 3. Here is my breakdown: Wait staff: 5-excellent, attentive, kind and responsive girl. Food: 3-Nothing to brag about Cleanliness: 1-I'm usually not that critical but it looks awful. Old, dirty, bathrooms unclean. I love the free breadsticks but they only had a few. I just read that they are doing a renovation soon. It's time! I live in Windsor and look forward to the upgrade. Of course I'm going back. I hope to be able to give them a 4. 5 will require a Wow factor. read more

We had some serious pasta cravings tonight and went to Mary's Pizza Shack. The cravings were satisfied fully, their pasta is perfect comfort food, especially for the rainy day. Very rich and creamy, with lots of fresh garlic and parmesan, just the way I like it. The other good part was the cesar salad that comes with pasta. The portion is generous, and it was a high quality salad. The place is very clean, so I really have no idea what those other reviewers were whining about on here. Most likely it was just that time of the month for those women, so they just go on Yelp and post all kinds of grumpy nonsense. Anyways, the pasta was good. I just finished my leftovers, and ready to go to sleep all satisfied and happy. read more

This is to Rick and the staff at Windsor Mary Pizza Shack. You went over and beyond for me when my door dash really screwed up. Basically Rick gave me a free meal. In this day you don't except to see this. So I'm in beyond deep gratitude to Rick the cooks and the driver for getting me some awesome delicious meat raviolis and my favorite Mary's salad. Thank you read more

Great food. Very nice clean restaurant. Very nice hostess. We would eat here again.The staff were very professional. We enjoyed the dinner. Very appetizing. read more

Food was great! I came here for lunch and I was greeted quickly and got a table on the patio. I ordered the lunch combo and cheese garlic bread. Both the pizza and salad were fresh and tasty. The prices are a little high compared to dominos but what isn't these days. You get what you pay for. My waitress Maricruz was one of the best I've had in a while in any restaurant. Give this place a shot I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

It is ok pizza, slow service. May be a better one in rhonert park, see you next time , ok

There pizza is disgusting the new bbq chicken has onions just lazily laid on. The workers are nice and very helpful, I would also like to point a worker came from a table and started prepping a pizza . I had no idea if his hands were washed, I'm disappointed would not recommend read more

SUPER bizarre experience here this weekend. I ordered one beer -- a Fat Tire -- and pulled out my ID to show the waitress. Shortly after, another waiter (possibly the manager) came over with my boyfriend's diet Coke, but requested to see my ID again. To my surprise, he walked away with it and spent around five minutes examining it behind the counter. He soon returned with my ID, the beer, and the excuse that "IDs keep changing." When my boyfriend sampled my beer, the manager came over to ID him, too. At the end of the meal, our waitress handed us our check. She lowered her voice, winked, and said, "So can I ask you guys a question? We're pretty sure your IDs are fake. They're amazing! Are they from Japan?" At this point, we were both stunned that it had gone this far. My boyfriend and I spent a few minutes continuing to insist that our drivers licenses were real, we were really from Washington, and we were indeed over 21. We left unsure whether she believed us. This experience was bizarre, sort of funny, but ultimately insulting. There's a line between asking for proof of age and harassing customers. Food? Meh. Doughy undercooked crust. They were also so busy worrying about whether our IDs were fake that they neglected to bring us our mozzarella garlic breadsticks. read more

Great place to eat!! I have eaten ther many times and never been dissapointed. Their linguini with clams white is incredible. The service is always great. Most people dont realize it. Marys makes everything from scratch. All pasta dinners, pizza dough, soups and everything else is made by people for people. No microwaves or pre made meals like Applebees. And it is the same price as all these other places that arent even close to good. Plus you always get a huge salad (with all hand made in house dressing) or hand made soup and bread with every meal. read more

Oh Mary's Pizza Shack! A wonderful Sonoma County staple! Mary's has been around for ages. My parents said it started back in the 70's as one restaurant with Mary making pasta. Now, they are making some fabulous pizza and bread sticks, too! When you walk in, you can see them making pizza on your left. For some reason, I am mesmerized by this and watch them for a few minutes every time I go. I have a really hard time ordering anything other than the pizza when I come here. The other food is good, like their house salads, but I'm a real sucker for a good piece of pizza. And their bread sticks are freaking AMAZING! They always come warm, light in color, and soft! Then when you dip them into the butter and the butter starts to melt . . . ooh! It's quite a delectable experience. And again, their pizza is fantastic and the quality is always consistent. This goes for each of their restaurants as well - quality and service are consistently good. I have eaten here quite a bit with large groups and we've always gotten great service. My only suggestion is to call ahead and let them know what size group you're bringing and what time you'd like to eat so that they can be ready for you. Must have: pizza and bread sticks! Be forewarned: it can get loud on the weekends! read more

I love Mary's! Best food! However, when I went in today I mentioned how when I order a Chicken Caesar salad they routinely do not charge me for chicken because the person taking the order forgets about the chicken. The older lady at the counter seemed to think I was complaining about the forgotten chicken (that I was getting at no charge again) instead of giving feedback. I love free but did not like the sour puss or rudeness I received from her. For how much Mary's charges They should invest in some CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINING. Next time I'll keep my friendly feedback to myself and keep getting free food! CHEERS! read more

Good food but if you order the Gluten Free pizza, get prepared to get ripped off. They charge for every single topping and a very small pizza costs over $25.00. I ordered 2 pizza's for delivery and paid almost $60! This is ridiculous. However, the pasta and meatballs are really good. Suggestion, don't order Gluten Free and eat in. read more

Best pizza ever, I go there like everyday! Super yummy food and great service. ABSOLUTELY SUPERB! I love how nice the pizza makers are and how they know exactly how to make delicious pizza! Especially Isaac, the handsome young gentleman! He made my pizza like if it was made in heaven. 100% bomb.com. I love his cute little mustache too xD. I just wannna squeeze his cheeks and eat him up. 10/10!! Honestly I'd rather eat him than the pizza! excellent customer service, great food. read more

We were tired from a long day of driving and we were hungry. We didn't want to sit down some place and be served. We wanted foods in large quantities and to strip down to our skivvies in our hotel room with the AC on full blast and eat and watch the DNC. Found Mary;s on Yelp and set the coordinates in and before you knew it we were deciding what to eat. Great family restaurant. Obviously a local fave since there were a lot of locals around. We ordered some pizza, pasta and salads and then waited with our complimentary drinks. 15 minutes later we had a ton of food. Order small unless you have a huge appetite. We beat it back to the hotel room and devoured our food. It was good. Not fine cuisine by any means but good family Italian fare. And we got to see Obama speak. All in all a good day. read more

This Mary's is hit and miss. All depends on the server you get. What I do have to say is the food is always consistent and good! I was reading about one girls "strife" on a review here about how they didn't ask if she needed a high chair for her little one. Maybe she should have asked for one? Maybe the hostess should have asked if you wanted one? Maybe the server thought the hostess was getting you one? People cant read minds. Experience #1 This was a week or so from this review date. Went in for dinner and promptly got seated by a less then enthusiastic hostess. Whatever, shes fresh out of high school and hasn't developed a work ethic yet. Remember when you were fresh out of high school. I tend to not take small indiscretions personally. So we got handed our menus and our server was on top of getting our drinks going but here's the kicker. We just wanted water because it was hot and didn't feel like a beer even tho he tried to up sell us to beer. That changed the whole dynamic of the experience. Just because I wanted water, doesn't mean Ill tip you any less. I'm an excellent tipper. Do you want tipping references from my regular servers at other places?? Don't assume fella. So since his attitude changed from being smiley and enthusiastic to inattentive and distant, your tip dwindled. Experience #2 This was lunch time today. The manager sat us and of course did a good job. Our server was pleasant and very attentive with a great smile. Our food got out at a great pace and I was very satisfied. The only thing is that they charged us for the dinner price of our food and didn't bother telling us this. I figured since it was lunch, it would have been ordered as lunch. Now I know to say specifically can I please have the lunch, not the dinner pasta. read more

When I lived in Windsor, I was happy to call this location my "home" Mary's. Of all the locations, it's probably my favorite. I also like the downtown, and the RP (though I despise being in RP) locations. Mary's was a staple in my diet for a very long time. The lunches were a great deal, and we ate there very often. Unfortunately, a few years ago, the prices went up. I still stop in for some Fresco Pesto Breadsticks and a Tortellini alla Mary's when I'm in town... I really enjoy the food here, from the pizza to the salads to the pastas. The ice tea is AWESOME! Great family atmosphere and all that too! read more

Gluten free pizza just okay. My parents really liked their regular pizza. I ordered a large Cesar salad and when I got it it was a joke. There was barely any lettuce and just a sprinkle of croutons. I paid $10 for a little bit of lettuce. Shot to the heart! I showed the lady and she felt badly of course and put more lettuce in the container. When I got home I realized, where's the cheese?! Do these people not know how to make a simple Cesar salad, wow. On a customer service side note. I left my mom at Mary's to run an errand and when I picked her and the food up she got in the car and said, "the pizza guy just kept yelling so loudly about how it was too busy and he was the only one working today. I thought it was a show they were putting on to entertain us while waiting, but then I realized it probably wasn't." Laugh out loud, mom! Haha read more

This place deserves more than 5 stars. Great family spot! Definitely a must try when in Windsor. The service was exceptional! Kevin went above and beyond in service he provided. He's well mannered and has a great positive attitude! The pizza was awesome, savory and crispy. The salads are fresh too! We'll def be back when we come back! read more

Mary's Pizza Shack - Pepperroni and mushrooms with a Mary's garden salad. - Pizza Near Me - Windsor, California

See all

We rarely eat takeout, but we were staying over night in town wine tasting, and were too tired to go dine at a restaurant, and wanted something out of the down town area. Ordered a Meatball & Caramelized onion pizza, small caesar add on for $3 & a pasta dish. Everything was solid, except the caesar salad could have been better. Service was ok & probably wouldnt hesitate if i was ever in the area again. read more

There is one word for Mary's Pizza Shack. Consistant. I know that doesn't sound like much of a compliment, but I find that it is quite rare to have a place that you can go to that will always be the same. I have been going to Mary's since I was a child, sitting at the pizza bar and watching them make pizza. Those are some of my best memories and I still flash back to it everytime I bite into Mary's salad, which I am pretty sure hasn't changed since then. They do occasionally have new items on their menu, but I always end up going back to the old favorites. It can get a little loud, but over all, it is a good place to go when you are looking for pizza or italian food. read more

Great friendly staff. Good food. Same as when I was a kid!

i just ordered delivery from Mary's Pizza Shack. Staying at a local hotel, and my son finally lay down for his afternoon nap, and I knew there was no way on earth I was going to wake this child up. I heard good things about Mary's overall, and I was not disappointed. The person taking my order was accommodating and polite. They apologized for the amount of time it was going to take to get the delivery over (I was calling during lunch rush, so sure, I was okay with that), and they were accurate, and actually overestimated by a few minutes. The pizza arrived hot, along with the other foods. Their bruschetta was separated for delivery, but the flavor was excellent, and the bread was crisp. The pizza dough had a good chew, and the flavors were good, and balanced. Just enough of each topping. I'd go in there again, especially with the family, because I think my little guy is going to love this place. read more

Never liked Mary's!! My daughter wanted to order so I said I'll give it a try. I ordered the BLTA , the bacon was over cooked and the other ingredients was like a thin paste. For ten bucks with no sides!! Should have went to subway!! read more

Came here for a night before Windsor Green Half Marathon meal. I really wanted to carb up so I had one of their pizzas. I got the sauceless pizza with oil and tomatoes on top. It was pretty good with lots of tomatoes scattered all around the pie. My friends ordered pastas and salads and also snacked on the bread at the table. Located in the downtown shopping center, Mary's emitted a very laid back, family oriented vibe. It's a decent and solid option for a family night out. read more

Got seated and never saw our waitress. Once we heard the staff tell her she forgot about us AND she still didn't come by...we walked out after that without a single person acknowledging us. Typical Mary's food. Probably the worst service amongst all their restaurants. read more

Went on a Friday night at 6 only had less than 1 hour to eat before our team bowling party.Me and three hungry girls. We got a table right away. We knew what we wanted to order and I explained to the hostess we are sort of in a hurry. Our waitress came over "Patience" (that's her name) and took our order. She told us how long it should take. We got our drinks and pizza quick. Hot and tasty. Never disappointed in any Mary's location I visit. IF you need a solid meal (even the hamburger is good) GO here! If kids are SUPER hungry always grab a bread stick in the front to snack on. read more

Delivery service was awful. Took an hour for delivery on a Tuesday night and then part of our order was missing. Spoke with the manager Lisa and was told she would get the missing parts of our order right out. Waited 50 minutes and called and she said her driver was not back yet from another delivery and she was unsure when we would get our missing order. Said she could refund us. That wasn't the point. She should have stated initially that she couldn't get the order to us or offer a refund then. Had 2 hungry grandsons waiting for their food. Lisa did a poor job with customer service. read more

Our server was awesome she was super friendly she got our drinks out to us at a proper timing she checked in on us making sure we had everything and the food I had the giant meatball and spaghetti with the Caesar salad the spaghetti was well cooked the sauce had great flavor but the meatball did not taste right too me they mixed the meat way too much I could have done a better job my meatball I make at home comes out better and we order a larger double pepperoni it was really good yes it was greasy but that's expected from double pepperoni was really cheesy plenty of flavor on the sauce so fare it was really good love coming here they also took my $5 off my pizza coupon never a disappointment read more

Mary's is my favorite place to get pizza in Windsor. With all the fancy/trendy pizzas out there these days I find that more than ever I just want to go to that quality NY style family pizzeria. That's what Mary's is! Josh the manager helped me recently with a request and was top notch, as is all the staff. read more

3 stars because the people were nice. Not sure there's too much else to write home about. I ordered a slice of pizza and a beer and that came out to just over $10 (not including tip) if I remember correctly. The pizza was very greasy. I'll eat anything when I'm hungry but the prices for this food are too high. Either step up the quality or step down the price, imo. The atmosphere is what I would call outdated. I guess a certain clientele likes that, but I felt like the place needed work. The waitress was nice and the people up front were helpful when I walked in. I might go back if I was starving and had nowhere else to go. read more

It's Friday night and a full day of barrel tasting we had to get some bread to absorb all this wine. The chicken wings were good and the vegetarian pizza was ok. I don't remember much of the dinner cause I was drunk. read more

Amazing service!!! We order to go a lot. The manager Lisa is a gem!!! Thank you Mary's for making dinner easy and good!

Hello Mary Just wanted to let you know that I tryed your restaurant in Cloverdale twice. The service was friendly and welcoming, but the pizza I ordered was soooooooo salty I could only take a couple of bites. They were very considerate and I simply ordered something else, a grilled chicken sandwich, salty, but nothing like the pizza. I was hungry so I ate it and had a glass of wine. Being new to Cloverdale I thought I would try Mary's once again, this time I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and asked that they don't put anything on it that could cause high level of salt. It was salty and I ended up having a salad instead. I was thinking you might want to check the marinade, Americans do not need any more salt or to be swelling up any more than they already are. Thanks for listening read more

Near $20.00 for a small watery Spaghetti and Meatball. The sauce was the worst I ever tasted and the Meatball was soft and fell apart. Had to ask for a fork and napkins before I left the place on a to go order. Not recommended at all. read more
