Mario’s Pizza & Restaurant

I went on Unilocal looking for a decent pizza place in Pembroke Pines, close to my house. The reviews were good so I took a chance. Not disappointed. The pizza and garlic rolls were very good. My two sons also give their thumbs up. We will definitely order again.

Best Chicken Francese EVER! Service always top notch. Great family restaurant. Garlic rolls amazing. I have been to Italian restaurants all over this country and this place kicks everyone else’s butt.

Honestly this place has some of the best pizza I’ve tasted in a long time. I drive all the way from Hallandale whenever I feel like eating some delicious Italian cuisine. And the service is also amazing. We were greeted right away and our server was very sweet she was constantly checking up on us. Highly recommend !

This is the epitome of a «hole in the wall, Mom & Pop» place. Mario and his wife work HARD to make everything amazing. I can’t say enough good things about Mario’s. We have a son with dietary needs and Mario has NO problem accommodating him. He even allows us to bring our own cheese for him and will make a pizza himself, using only what we bring.
Seriously do yourself a favor and head over. You won’t be disappointed!

We’ve lived in the area for about 3 years now but never tried Mario’s…until last week, and omg are we happy we did! Delicious pizza and garlic rolls, very friendly environment. This is definitely our new go to Italian restaurant.

I ordered a tray of chicken parm, a tray of chicken francese, tray of baked ziti and 2 large pizzas for a birthday party. It was delicious as always. They have the most incredible sauce. Thanks

Since they have moved to their new location prices have gone up dramatically and the amount of food has gone down there is nothing special about their lunch special it is a shame I used to go there 4 to 5 times a month not anymore

The go to spot when you’re craving a good home cooked Italian meal. The attention to detail is Superb!!! 4 thumbs up!!!

Love this place, very laid back atmosphere and an always welcoming staff. Food is great with huge portions! The prices are always low and with their weekly specials you can never go wrong. You can always tell how good an Italian place is by their pizzas and this place is top of the charts in the area. Garlic rolls are great too! They haven’t let me down yet and would recommend this place to everyone that asks.

I don’t want to put this restaurant down since they do have good tasting pizza with home delivery however my husband received a plate of zitti broccoli and chicken with hair wrap around the inside center of the plate which was completely disgustdisgusting, I have never experienced something this absurd… A hair net goes a long way.

I got tipped off to this place by seeing all the police and fire guys parking there for lunch. These guys usually know where the best lunch spots are so I figured I would try them. This place reminds me a lot of Brusketta. You won’t find this kind of Italian by any of the big chain stores. Granted, I have only been here once but by the service and quality, I will most definitely be returning. I had the chicken parm sub. Great tasting and was huge. I only could eat half. You won’t think anything fancy of the place by the looks from the front but if your in the area, you should give it a try.

I’ve been searching for a place like this for a decade and finally found it! I drive 15 miles to get to Mario’s Rest. and it is well worth the 30 mile round-​trip journey. Food is awesome; portion size is mammoth and value for the dollar is incredible. Begin with soup or salad, huge entrée, garlic (or non-​garlic rolls) and the joke is when the server then asks: «Dessert?» You have to be kidding. All for an incredible price. Place does a booming take-​out business and the staff is warm. Their A/​C is mega-​strong so bring a sweater if you tend to get cold or drafty in über-​cold places. Being a big guy I am grateful the air temps are cold; as I’m always warm in most restaurants. Thursday nights they lower their already bargain prices even more on some specials. I make it my business to get there once a week (at least) and as of this moment, it is my # 1 favorite restaurant! Finally it is very casual; no need to dress up here. Shorts and flipflops and you’ll fit right in. This place is a winner. They are already # 1 and yet they keep trying hard to make it even better. 5 stars all the way.

The food was very good and the service was exceptional. Try the garlic knots but don’t forget some mints when you leave :0).

This is our go to neighborhood italian place for take out. Awesome pies! The Chicken Fran and Chicken Parm are AMAZING! Comes with garlic knots and salad with yummy creamy italian dressing. I ordered the Fett Alfredo once and it was meh. Could have been an off night though. Otherwise, they have been on their game. Mario’s is on speed dial on my cell phone since we order about once a week on the way home from work. Great family business.

I visit every few months to spend time with my Mother in Pembroke Pines from Atlanta. Mario’s is a favorite and with good reason.
I picked up their chicken francesca and brought it home. Just wonderful. Huge portions with side of pasta delicious home made pasta fagioli and their addictive hot garlic rolls. The owners are just wonderful and this hole in the wall produces beautifully made classic Italian dishes

I love this place.
I never realized that this restaurant was just down the street from our home. It is in a small strip mall that you might pass right by if you drive too fast. We never have to wait more than five minutes for a table. The staff is very friendly, the restaurant is clean and the food is very good. After a long day at work, I can go out with my husband for a nice meal without spending too much money, no loud music, no screaming children and great food.

We typically order delivery from Mario’s and they have always had a pretty descent pie when compared to othe pizza joints in Pembroke Park.
The best thing about their pizza has to be the sauce, it really gives the pie it’s distinct flavor. The employees there are always friendly and placing an order over the phone never feels like a «rush job,» that is, they always take their time with you over the phone and get the order right; to this day, we’ve never had anything wrong with any of our orders.
They also have a full Italian Restaurant menu as well. It’s local and very quaint. For anyone in the Pembroke Pines are who’s in need of a pizza fix, Mario is a good gamble.
