| - Pizza is my MOST favorite fast food. Yeah, I know that I should not boast, but, if you want an honest review of this genre, read on!
My love of pizza began in Astoria, NY at the foot of the Tri-Borough Bridge when I discovered this tasty treat at The Pine Tree Tavern.( at the tender age of FOUR ! ). Yes, fellow dough-boys and girls, the romance started at this moment of first bite. Through the years in NYC, and later Chicago (boy did I think their pizza was WEIRD with cracker crust or thick enough to bust a gut and tomato sauce on TOP to boot ?) I learned and embraced the diversity of regional delights!
I STILL favor the thin, chewy, crisp crust of NY style pizza !
You want it ?
You have it right in the Surprise/ El Mirage area !

I still go here regularly and it's still EXCELLENT!
Couldn't believe that they took my great review down because it was questionable???
Original Review
After relocating to Surprise 4 years ago, my quest to locate my 'pie of choice' began. I tried 'Streets Of NY' ( a step above soggy Dominos); 'NYPD' (OK in a pinch); 'Rosati's' ( not bad Chicago thin or thick but too $$ for what you get); Barros, Pizza Hut, Dominos, (in the same league as Costco.....Ech!); I then discovered 'Lucky's' and 'Famous Ray's' much, much better! Our area began to sprout new businesses and I discovered MARIO's hidden behind the El Mirage WAL-MART at the intersection of W Waddell/Thunderbird and Dysart.
I have been on board at MARIO's literally since day ONE and continue to follow the trail of pizza crumbs back to their lair at least weekly.
This is a family operated business and they make you feel at home. This is one of the ways that it sets itself apart from other pizza places. The atmosphere is basic with Phoenix sports decor with 4 flat screens and the counter to order. Plenty of tables are available with pleasant a family service staff to take your orders table-side.
The food is the real STAR !!
NY thin crust PIZZA with the right balance of crispy, CHEWY goodness.
Pseudo Pizza snobs need not apply, there are no caramelized anythings, not a marinated trendy veggie in sight!!! No sun-dried SQUAT!..... Only excellent crust, tasty sauce, real cheese and all the traditional toppings in perfect balance
Their other offerings, the hero sandwiches, hot dinner plates, pastas are basic QUALITY pizzeria fare.
They offer draft and bottled beer, and soft drinks.
WINGs were never my thing. The guests who sampled them in my presence were quite satisfied.
OH! Their Sicilian PIZZA is also EXEMPLARY !
Treat the family VISIT MARIO's, I gar-on-tee you'll satisfy your NYC Pizza 'Jones'.
