Mario's Pizza Italian - Rock Hill

We had dinner tonight, location on Cherry Road in Rock Hill, SC. Server was amazing, food was delicious, portion sizes were enough for 3. And the ranch. I wish I had come home. We're going back! Thanks for a great meal.

Service was great. Very nice. I have a big pizza and salad. The pizza was very good. Great sauce. Eat here for the first time. I will go back

Don’t let the store front fool you. This was amazing!!! This place is quaint and very casual. Pictures of Italy and Nee York all over. We went wanting pizza (which by the way looks amazing) but ended up discovering that the place has amazing Italian dishes. Our waitress was extremely helpful with the menu and super friendly. We ordered the spaghetti meatballs The meatballs were cooked perfectly moist and just right on the flavor. The red sauce was thick not runny, with just the right acidity balance with a semi sweet taste delicious . The penne dish was extremely well done creamy and not runny, and they are not shy on bacon for this dish. All dishes come with a salad (i got the Greek for $1 more). The prices are just right for anyone or a family to enjoy great Italian dishes. Overall, great experience leaving satisfied and happy. We will be back to try the pizzas and many other dishes from the menu.

EDIT 11/15/2021 Our last 2 visits have been much better than visits earlier this year/late 2020. Toni manager) is back and you can definitely see a difference when she’s in the restaurant. The Baked Buffalo Chicken was on special tonight and since I’d had pizza for lunch I decided to branch out a little. Excellent decision. Grilled Chicken over Penne Rigate with a creamy not overly spicy) Buffalo Sauce with Bacon and cooked) Red Onions. The entire dish was smothered in Mozzarella and baked. 2 in a row. Getting back on track for sure. I’m happy to see this. Picture will be posted. Edit 5/15/2021 Place has gone downhill in the last year. Food is still good but service is pretty terrible. 3 bad visits in a row has done it for me. Can’t go back. EDIT I'm not changing anything about my initial review but I wanted to add: All of the waitstaff here are fantastic but we frequently get helped by Toni. Again, not downplaying anyone else, we just seem to get Toni a lot. She is super fantastic. She always goes above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need and, by doing this, makes our visits which are frequent) EXTRAORDINARY! Best pizza in town and maybe on Earth...at least in this hemisphere. Marinara is 10/10. Friendly staff. Excellent prices. Lunch buffet 7 days a week and it is ridiculously low priced $5.99 from 12:00 2:00PM). The owner I'm pretty sure) regularly makes rounds in the dining room having conversations with patrons. Always a great time.

Let me start off with my negative complaints, in spite of my five star review.... There was a taste bud explosion in my mouth making me want to eat everything even after I was full. That being said, the food was delicious , would be an understatement. I ordered a sausage, mushroom, onion pizza which, pizza is pizza , right??? Oh no, this was a hand crafted work of art designed for my taste buds. Brought to me in a timely manner and at the perfect temperature so I didn 't burn the roof of my mouth off. The crust was not crunchy burnt, nor soggy, which is a common problem when using fresh mushrooms and onions (as Mario 's uses) but a perfect crispness. Mario 's is tucked in a strip mall, Not getting the recognition that it should as a standalone restaurant. The staff is friendly, attentive and quick with their service. It is not a huge restaurant but the booth seats are comfortable, with adequate lighting and the tables were clean. So if you 're in the mood for a delicious meal and a cozy atmosphere, I would highly recommend giving Mario a try. Chances are that it will be a new weekly favorite of mine.
