Mario's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Wake Forest

My husband and I just recently discovered this place and we really love it. The food is always fresh and delicious and the prices are excellent. I also wanted to be sure to mention that I was in there today (Saturday, 4/16/22) and the young man who was taking orders at the front desk was so polite and friendly. He greeted me very nicely and asked how my day was going, repeated my order back to me to make sure he got it right; and when it was done, he even brought it out to the table where I was waiting (it was a to-go order and in the past, they have usually just called out to let me know it was ready, which is totally fine, but I thought it was such an extra thoughtful gesture for him to bring it to me.

I also observed him greeting another diner and asking them how their meal was. I was so impressed with this young man and his excellent customer service skills and wanted to make sure to leave a good review for him and for this great little restaurant. I hope the restaurant owners know what a great asset they have in this employee!

We are happy to have Mario’s nearby and highly recommend them to...

Scratching my head once again as I can’t understand why this place is highly rated.

Tried it recently and found the pizza lacking in almost every respect. The crust in the middle was very thin and so soggy, the crust on the edge was as hard as a rock. Could not eat the edges they were so hard like a thick cracker. I guess I could save the crust, it may make a good fire starter or insulation. But not food.

Minimal sauce, practically none. Pepperoni tasteless and thin. I really could not taste any pepperoni at all to be honest. Same with the sausage.

In general I was very disappointed. I ordered 2 large pizzas and it came to $60. They are large, one large pizza can fed 3-4 people, but that’s too expensive for me, especially for the quality.

I’ve had better chain restaurant pizza and for the price I’ll rather buy a good frozen pizza and skip this spot.

I’ve had great pizza in Naples and Sicily, and the only thing Italian here is the name.

Overpriced and underwhelmed.

PS. We ordered 1 standard large pizza an one custom large pizza. The custom pizza drives the cost...

This was the most tasteless pizza I have had. I got the sicilian pizza. Hardly any marinara sauce. I ordered it with ham and onion. For a pizza that size, there should have been more of each, especially onion. The garlic bread was what appeared to be a hot dog roll, spread with the garlic spread and sliced into strips. This is in response to the owner: 1) I never asked for money or replacement. I figured it was a lesson learned plus I did eat a couple of slices 2) the only threat was to write a review 3) the food was what I ordered, just tasteless 4) I asked when I ordered the food by phone, what the price was, so no shock there. I stated both when I picked up the food and when I came in, the depending where you looked on the internet, prices where all over the place. I never cussed you or the other employees. I don't think I raised my voice, but probably did talk in a stern matter. Did try to put my response under yours, but couldn't figure...
