Mario's Pizzeria

Pretty good pizza as good as jersey. I only had 2 slices but the sauce was perfect.

$2.75 a slice ($3.50 for fancy slices)! For hand made pizza! I cannot believe I only paid $6.50 for dinner this good. This place is so unassuming but it’s worth seeking out if you want really good pizza. The shop is casual and divey and un-gentrified so I am rating this 5 stars for what it is- a delicious local pizza shop (this is not 5 stars for the ambience or fanciness). I stopped by randomly because I saw the guy scraping dough through the window and thought this is probably going to be good… And it was. The crusts are both chewy and crispy at the same time. The dollops of ricotta on the white pizza are generous and creamy while not too rich. The plain slice was a really good slice but the white pizza was really a standout. I ate everything so fast I forgot to take a photo until I was almost done. If you want good pizza and live in ft. Greene area, stop by Mario’s (also, apparently they do free delivery)

2 slices for $7.50 seems a bit ridiculous for the quality and cleanliness of this place. Also the pizza looks like ass… it all has to have been sitting out for hours no doubt. Nothing seems fresh.

Excellent pizza - freshly made, super flavourful.

This is our favorite pizza place in the neighborhood and I've been here for 24 years! No frills just good hot pizza with a good crust and cheese to sauce ratio. They could probably do a little reno on the looks of the establishment but pizza wise, it's the best in the hood

While the place doesn’t look too appetizing the pepperoni slices for takeout were reasonably priced and very good. I prefer a thin crust but this style of more chewy cheesy pizza was very good. I’d go back when I need a quick slice to take out.

Wow! The pizza here absolutely exceeded my expectations. The endless fresh toppings available made it that much more enjoyable. Prices were somewhat reasonable but worth the expense. For example, the fresh garlic topping was 3.00. We know we coukd go to the grocer and purchase a plethora of garlic cloves for that price but once again worth it. They arrived in a timely manner and i will be purchasing again (when i can just drop $40 on a large pie).

This has been the best pizza in the neighborhood for the last 35 years. Stop in and grab a slice of true Brooklyn pizza. Sicilian slice is on point too.

We were looking to take out a pizza, so we stopped by Mario's because it was convenient. He took our order quickly for a pepperoni, black olive, and sausage pizza. Said it would be 15, but it took quite a bit longer. Oh, well. There are some rickety tables outside, so we sat and waited. Got the hot pizza and headed home. The pizza was OK, just OK. So, while they really deserved 2 stars, I gave them three because of the entertainment. While waiting, what appeared to be a crazy homeless man ran in and stuck his hand in the tip jar. There was a lot of "MFing" being shouted and some wild threats of murder before he ran off with a single dollar. He was not happy with his haul. Brooklyn fun!

Good mushroom and Italian sausage pizza. The crust was perfectly soft and crispy, passing the "fold test." My first "New Yorker" pizza, and I'm perfectly satisfied with it!

Kinda funny that Dekalb has a Mario's and a Luigi's pizzeria walking distance from each other. Luigi's is definitely better, but Mario's is open late. Not the greatest slice, but it definitely suffices. Especially after a night of drinking. There's a tiny counter where you can eat, but not really a place to hang out.

Solid Brooklyn pizza. Not fancy, artisanal, complicated, etc. Just simple straightforward Brooklyn pizza. Hits the spot when that's what you're craving

This pizza place really hits the spot. We love coming over for impromptu slices on lazy afternoons. It's also perfect for when you're with friends and can't decide on pizza toppings, you can each just get your own slices! Friendly staff, good prices, what more could you want.

The best non-gourmet (aka cheap, as in, not Graziella's http://www.yelp.com/biz/St8a2de1vfyCxwIySBUWbA#hrid:IXilia7f7n-6Eeuw5ysPAg) pie in town? Possibly. It's either Mario's or Luigi's http://www.yelp.com/biz/luigi-pizzeria-brooklyn#hrid:qeA9dbe8GQ5XmdWe21p8Xg. Take your pick. But only big brother - Mario is older than Luigi, right? - delivers, so . . . Hmmm, why is the NES game called Mario Bros. when Mario is the first name of one of the brothers? Anyway, honestly, it's hit-or-miss with these cheap pizzerias, since sometimes your pie will not taste as good as you remember it but at times, it'll be the best fucking thing you've ever tasted. Forget the greasy Pepperoni. Do yourself a favor and try a pie with garlic on it.

Walked in and seen gnats flying and landing all over the pizza like planes on a damn tarmac! When I asked him can I get fresh pizza, he said no. So I walked THE FUCK OUT. They don't even cover it up. Flies and gnats are nasty. Imagine a fly that was hovering and lands in a pile of dog shit then the fly goes into this pizza shop and lands on the pizza YOU are about to consume. D I S G U S T I N G.

Not my favorite, but not a bad slice of pizza either. This is one of the pizza shops that is close to the Alibi bar and an inexpensive option when one needs to get some food in their stomach. The pizza is usually nice, hot, and gooey, the way I prefer it, but there could be a bit more cheese and spices on the pizza and the crust could be a bit softer. The service is nice though, and while there is really no space to stay to have your slice (it is railroad thin and shelf along wall with seats are crammed with large garbage can, ATM machine, and deliver bike) you can squeeze in if you like. A nice go to option when you do not want to eat at all of the expensive restaurants on Dekalb Avenue. The only other down point is that it is not open late at night when you really need to get your after-drinking eating done!

I order from this place all the time however following directions is not their style. I ask for a Sicilian I get a large pie, I ask for crispy I get my cheese falling off and the doe gummy

I love this place. I get a large cheese here once a week, always walking home as quickly as possible with my mouth watering, my eyes crazed, and my brain obsessing over how delicious that first bite is going to be. Then I eat 4-5 slices and don't even feel bad about it. The pizza's so good when it's straight from the oven and still molten. And slice #5 is just as good as slice #1. It's like savory Ben & Jerry's--you don't want to stop when each bite's better than the last. Plus they're super nice inside, and large pies are really cheap on (I think) Mondays and Tuesdays.

Lasagna was 6/10. Needs more meat sauce, it was dry. Garlic knots were great. Wings good too. Early delivery was the plus

I'll come out and admit it. I'm a pizza snob. A big one. So I really just can't eat here anymore. Mario's is dirty. And not in a good way, like "Hey, No we don't clean our damn ovens. THAT'S WHERE THE FUCKING FLAVOR IS." This is more like, "Rats are our primary customers, so stop whining." However, I can ignore cleanliness for other reasons, such as price (think 'Two Brothers Pizza') or taste. But here, I just can't justify going here anymore. The cheese slice has typically been sitting out for a few hours, the pepperoni is low-quality at best, and overall its just a greasy slice. Living in Fort Greene, I really wanted to like this place, I even wanted to give it 3-stars just because it's in my neighborhood. But it's just not good.

Mario's on Dekalb may not be the trendiest slice in Fort Greene, but it definitely is the greasiest, messiest (especially when you order with double cheese) and tastiest slice in the neighborhood. The sauce is layered on light to moderately, but I don't like clumps of sauce on my pizza so this works for me. The dough has always been very thing and folds perfectly to where you experience the taste of the cheese and toppings more than the dough layer. Prices are very fair and they always have specials. I haven't tried their sicilian pie, but I hear its great. I highly recommend Mario's to anyone in Fort Greene who wants a simple pie done cheesy.

For sure the move for classic slice of NY pizza, Mario's is a super nice guy too! Enjoyed my experience here!

Ditto Arthur, below. This is pretty much THE pizza delivery joint if you live north of Fort Greene park, anywhere between Lafayette and Myrtle. Like most of my other "go to" spots in this genre (car service, chinese takeout, coffee, and the like), there's honestly nothing special about it. It's just the place. You have the number in your cell phone, you call, you say about 6 words ("Large plain pie, *** Clinton Ave"), 20 minutes and $10 later you're eating. It's as easy as that. I love the fact that our neighborhood has both Mario's and Luigi's. I like to think of the older guy who answers the phone as Mario, though I know this place is actually owned by that Bangladeshi family that owns everything in that stretch of Dekalb.

Went to Mario's this evening, great pizza and the special for 2 is more than enough food. We also appreciated the staff who were awesome and had great banter.

Inferior to Luigi's in quality. The only thing that Mario's has going for them is the fact that they deliver, but it is important to note, they like to pick and choose when they will offer delivery and when they won't. Call at least an hour to an hour and a half before for delivery and cross your fingers that they don't tell you no because they are feeling lazy that day. Do yourself and your taste buds a favour and enjoy a pizza from Luigi's.

Ordered delivery - spaghetti with sausage and beef lasagna - was overly soppy and soaked with sauce / didn't smell right.

It's a good slice o' cheese. I was satiated and satisfied. I came here LATE night... We had already biked a ton, already ate dinner and dessert... but we were STILL hungry. So, we tried Mario's since it happened to be open at whatever time it was we were biking down DeKalb Ave. No complaints. I didn't expect jaw dropping perfection and I hoped for pretty good. It was a stop above pretty good - which was PERFECT for the time/place/situation we were in.

It's a shame because the service is very friendly but the pizza is incredibly bland. I didn't even finish my slice. The plain slice is $2.50, same price as Luigis down the street and Luigis is 10x better.

A classically, easy delicious pizza. I've been coming here for years and have never been let down whenever I need a comfort pizza.

This has been my family's go-to place for regular pizza consumption: approximately 22 years worth. New York is wonderful for it's variety of pizzas from one joint to another, and this has always happily been my place for an everyday pizza fix. I like my greasy peperoni with extra cheese. Other pies with other toppings are great too.

Mario's pizza is made for drunk people. So, don't step foot (or start dialing for delivery) unless you are heavily intoxicated. If you are sober, and for the most part lucid, you will notice that the cheese on the pizza slides right off, the crust recipe was borrowed from that famous frozen pizza company, and um, everything is swimming in grease. Two stars go to delivery promptness and relative competence*, and the fact that I wasn't hungry after I ate a meal from Mario's. Will I go back to Mario's? Sure, when I'm drunk. *competence = delivery man found my apartment, but other than that it was your average shit show of a delivery service. i'm not a mean or regularly bitchy person, but delivery guys are just... you know.

whoever has a problem with mario can honestly fight me because i've been eating this pizza since i was 4.

It's not the best pizza you'll have but itll do. 2.50 for a standard cheese slice as well as for that fatty deep dish. You can ball out and get Sicilian style pizza on an unemployed college dropouts budget. If you're not satisfied just take it home and throw some Sriracha on it papi!

My boyfriend is born and raised in Brooklyn and he can be so picky about his pizza. He likes a classic New York pizza, regular slice. We order from Mario's a couple times a month and they do the job. The pies are tasty and at a great reasonable price. We always get large half pepperoni, half regular, well done. MARIO'S is definitely our go to for when we need a quick dinner and they deliver pretty fast. Boyfriends note: "Yeah, it's a decent slice, not bad, but not great either. This ain't New Park, I'll put it like that." ANYWAYS, I'm hungry.

Good place for the kid's on their way home from school. Not award winning food but the staff is friendly and not part of some corporate take over of the neighborhood. I was satisfied to find an e-z bite while exploring the neighborhood.

The wings were not worth the 8$ I got 6 tiny wings for 8$ I thought they would be huge or at least 10 pieces ... maybe an error in the fry cooks part? The pizza was delicious! Lots of cheese zest sauce and heavy on the pep. It came to me flaming hot and in less than 40 minutes via seamless. The pricing isn't bad here. Cheaper delicious alternative to II Porto and Artichokes. I tell my self I'm going to stop at two slices but end up going for the third. The pizza is just so damn delicious.

Review based solely on the garlic bread. I stopped by to get a loaf of garlic bread, to go along with pasta I was making. The bread took a long time, but tasted like it had been sitting out for a long time and was reheated several times. Too much oregano and basil, not enough garlic and butter or cheese. It was NOT good. Usually you can count on pizzerias to provide solid garlic bread -- fresh. This tasted neither fresh nor tasty. But, the people were friendly, and I haven't tried the pizza.

Love, love, love their sicilian pizza. The place is nothing fancy... just a regular pizza shop. But it's def the best in the neighborhood. I love that they offer fresh ingredients like basil and mozzarella. Being home with a glass of wine and a slice of the Sicilian is my idea of a gourmet meal. I ordered a few pies for a house party I did (almost 2 years ago) and my friends STILL talk about how great it was! I'm not one for writing exaggerated reviews, so just believe me... the pizza is great. HOWEVER, they are cash only. Which is quite annoying.

We've ordered pizzas delivered from Mario's and had good experiences in the past (though they once delivered the equivalent Pepsi products of the Coke products we'd ordered, which is not at all cool). But this last order contained the single worst plate of wings I've had in my entire life (and that's saying a lot). Not much meat, what little meat they had was dry, chewy, and/or burnt, and the sauce was nothing like a decent Buffalo wing sauce (and yes, I've been to several wing joints in Buffalo), more like BBQ sauce with a hint of Tabasco. The wings were literally unpleasant to eat. At least they sent enough blue cheese dressing (but no celery)! Delivery took 75 minutes on a Seamless estimate of 35-50 minutes. The lasagna, cheesy garlic bread, and pepperoni pizza slice were all decent (though not remarkable), hence three stars.

Ordered from Seamless two regular slices and a Sicilian which arrived soggy. Restaurant refused to offer a refund.

Out of my four days in NY, out of all the pizza I had this was the best. You don't expect much because it's corner pizza, but it's a mighty slice!!! A large pie is a couple dollars more than dominos and infinitely better. It made me feel like it was my first time eating pizza.... and that's coming from someone who ate pizza at places like Roberta's. You're welcome I saved you 20$

Serving what's probably the best pizza in the Ft. Greene area--good crust but a little heavy on the cheese--Mario's is a tiny no-frills neighborhood spot with a few beat-up seats against the wall. (They've also got an old-school streetside window that'll get you a slice without having to squeeze your way inside.) But consider yourself forewarned: from about 2:45 to 4:00 during the week this joint is usually overrun by schoolkids, which will most likely make your life miserable if you make the mistake of stopping by then.

To each his own. I say Mario's is great and others like luigi's better. Well I liked playing luigi more than Mario on Super Mario brothers and all I gotta say is sometimes you want to play Mario too! The cheese here is a lot thicker than the cheese at luigis. Also the owner himself told me he makes the sauce from scratch. He doesn't put any fillers, sugar, or flour to thicken the sauce. He understands that a healthy pie is a happy pie. I like that. Luigis has less cheese and bakes their pies a bit longer. There's a difference but it all depends on what you are in the mood for. Also their baked pasta is to die for. Seriously it's the best hidden gem in the neighborhood. Get it with the cheese on top too, you'll go to bed happy.

We have been ordering from Marios for 12 years and always ask that they cook the bottom crust to crispy but not burnt. Tonight we ordered a ham and fresh mushroom pizza with the same instructions to cook the crust to crispy. What showed up was the flimsiest, soggiest, wet pizza I have ever seen. It was totally inedible.

Don't know why the low reviews we order almost once a week it comes fast and it's pretty good!

Lasagna Soup is what I got--not Lasagna as ordered. Just to add, the order had nothing to do with being too hot so the cheese melted. A piece of pasta on the top, a piece on the bottom; chopped pasta and whatever else in between. Truly a large spoonful of a dish!

Dough was tasty, but soggy. There's definitely better pizza in Fort Greene. For a different twist, try the flatbread pizza from Black Iris.

Loved it. Went there when I was in middle school back in 06 and pizza is STILL the same. Affordable and great tasting. Would recommend this to anybody in the area.

Real Genuine Brooklyn pizza. Not the "rustic" hipster crap. These spots are disappearing with the changing neighborhoods. Quick. Good. Authentic. Here for 25 years!

I'm afraid that pizza was absolutely awful! I regret wasting the $10 coupon I got from GrubHub last night. And because I only spent $4 I didn't bother to walk over there in the snow and hand it back to them! All the slices were soggy, tasteless, and simply gross. Cheese like plastic sliding right off the pizza watery sauce...I couldn't believe it! Threw the whole lot into the garbage. What. A. Waste,

Not the best slice in the world, and certainly not the worst. Hey Mario: if youre going to use mediocre ingredients, at least splurge on some garlic powder with flavor! I can see hipsters thinking this is legit because its such a hole in the wall. Keep dreamin'!

Great NY pizza. Large slices and totally delish! Cash only though :( Best delivery in the area though.

I wish I had read others' reviews before ordering. The pizza was horrible. Canned mushrooms, awful cheese and too much of it, garlic from a jar that looked thrown on to the pie and basil that was cooked *with* the pie. I'm going to try to choke down the rest of this pizza just so that I don't feel like I wasted my money but at the end of the day...I did.

This place is pretty decent. They have a lot of options, the food is cheap and it's also very good. I recommend their pepperoni roll, calzone, and mozzarella sticks and garlic knots are always good. The order did take a bit to arrive but everything was great.

It's alright pizza when you're in a hurry and rushing back to your apartment. At $2.25 for a slice a pizza you really can't complain.

I think this place is disgusting! I know they sell a variety of foods but everything either looks or taste like vomit. I never understood why ppl were in there so often. I even have friends that love this place. I just CAN'T fathom it.

Fast & free delivery, $13 for A real Italian medium pizza with two toppings you can't beat that. Being half Italian I'm partial to anyone that can make a good egg plant pizza the pizza was fresh the sauce was extremely flavorful the crust was soft and squishy because I happened to not like thin hard pizza. I just don't recommend the garlic knots maybe it was because we ordered it closer to closing time they weren't fresh but they really have no flavor. Overall good Italian pizza and I would order from this place again
