I wanted to write this review in reference to the pizza at this place. I've traveled the country and I'm pretty particular with my pizza. Mario and Salvos in Dewitt, New York is right up there with New York City, Brooklyn, New Haven. The crust is thin, the sauce is like my grandmother used to make not sweet and the amount of cheese that's put onthere is to perfection. You can tell that the ingredients are homemade, and the cheese is right up there with the finest of quality. if you're ever in the Syracuse New York area, I will highly recommend taking the time to stop over to get a slice or for that matter of pie. If you like meatball sandwiches, it's a 10. You can tell that it's a generational meatball recipe. Enjoy !!! read more

We grabbed two slices, antipasto, and a garlic bread. The pizza itself was okay, the tomato sauce wasn't super flavorful and the crust was floppy. I personally prefer my pizza with a bit more crunch and bite. However, their antipasto made up for it! It was very delicious and fresh! They add in these pinwheels with deli meat & cheese which were tasty! The garlic bread wasn't something spectacular, but I did enjoy it. The entire meal was under $20, which is a good deal. read more

Skip it. Nothing at all memorable about their offerings other than the items we ordered were hot when we picked them up. Toppings on both pizzas were soggy, as were the hot wings (see my pics please). Garlic knots totally forgettable. Total meh. A good descriptor of their pizza would be lots of chewy and nothing crispy, despite the crust being done. New York Style pizza leaving a lot to be desired at this here pizza jurnt. Pizza is wayyyyyy better the 2nd time around after getting a tan in your toaster oven at home. Prices typical for this area so you know. If you're looking for unique or stellar pizza, wings, or knots, keep on a lookin'. If you just need warm food, this place will do you fine. read more

I went to college at Le Moyne which is very close so we frequented this place often. Now, everytime I make my way back to Syracuse we find a way to stop here. There are just 3 words you need to know: Hot Meatball Sub Well maybe 2 more: with Cheese That was the first thing I ever ordered from Mario and Salvo's and I haven't been able to bring myself to order anything else because I am always craving the meatball sub. I don't think i'd ever had a better meatball sub, fresh italian sub roll, toasted to perfection. Meatballs with just the right amount of sauce smothered in melted cheese. Friends of mine enjoy the pizza and garlic knots as well, so would encourage you to try anything on the menu, but definitely recommend the meatball sub. read more

Food is incredible. A bit pricey compared to other places but so so worth it. The pizza gotta a crisp to the bite that's amazing

Excellent pizzas, customer service! We were visiting Syracuse University and the admissions counselor recommended it! You will not be disappointed! We got the deluxe, plain and Sicilian! As downstate nyers this was amazing!!! read more

This is our go to pizza place when we are in Syracuse visiting. You are guaranteed to always have amazing service, great food, and an old-school pizzeria feel. I love listening to the owners talk to one another back-and-forth through the kitchen. It really sets the scene for a true New York pizza. read more

Great food, but questionable pricing scheme. Out of town to visit Syracuse University campus. Arrived to hotel late. Heavy snow. Ordered delivery. Large house pizza, dozen buffalo wings, antipasto salad, and rigatoni with sausage. Price came out to be $64, with no itemization. Wife did not question on order and ask the delivery guy for the receipt. He shrugged and said there was an up charge on the chicken wings because of shortage? We just drove through Buffalo where we ate at the Anchor Bar and there was no up charge on their buffalo wings. Lucky for the restaurant the pizza the antipasto and the rigatoni were great. Wings marked online as $11/dozen were probably like $22/dozen and should have been magnificent. Great restaurant, just stop scamming the customers. read more

This review is based on one simple menu item. The plain cheese pizza. Being the pizza snob I am I base my reviews of pizza places based on their cheese pizza. If you don't have a good regular slice, your food is most likely below par. This place is very good. Thin , crispy and not too greasy. Sauce was good as well. I will go back to try other menu items in the future. read more

This is hands-down the best flavored pizza and best tasting pizza in Syracuse New York. I might also add this may be the best pizza in the Syracuse Utica Rome area, great flavor great perfect crust every time. read more

Great little place. Went in and had a few slices then second time ordered a full pepperoni! The cheese on each slice is fantastic! We'll be coming back definitely. read more

It was my first time at mario and salvos, I ordered three slices of pizza it was about 13 dollars, I asked for to go, and while I'm waiting, the lady who took my order proceeded to ask me if I wanted to go several times, I said YES several times. Then the guy making the pizzas asked me again read more

the pizza was amazing. the crust was crispy and the toppings were well spread and enough. I didn't like the meatball sandwich however nothing was wrong with it, just my personal preference. if you want to grab a piece of pizza and enjoy it, that's where you go. read more

NYC style pizza in Syracuse? Mario & Salvo pretty much has the flavor and texture down! Just say it ... Mario & Salvo ... hard to out Italian that. I felt I was back in NYC while eating the pizza. The slice is thin and crispy, yet chewy. The buffalo chicken pizza was amazing. This is the kind of pizza you want when you are going on a Netflix binge or a drinking binge or any kind of binges. It ain't no Pizza Hut or digiornos...THIS IS MARIO AND SALVOS! One time I was there, the staff helped an old man carry his order to his car. Bravo on being good people too. Here is a five star. Get a pie or a slice, and you wouldn't regret it! read more

Awful ordered for delivery. Waited. They called us, we called back. Claimed the pizza was on the way. Waited an hour- then they said that we were outside the delivery range- we have ordered from there multiple times before. Refused to refund it - we couldn't go pick it up hence the reason we had ordered delivery. read more

**Edit: A representative from Mario And Salvo's called me a half hour after the fact to tell me again that I was wrong, that they had filled the order, and that I had in fact received both orders of tenders. At this point, it's not worth fighting over $8.45 - I'll simply never order from this restaurant again.** Pizza is alright, but reliable. I've been a repeat customer for awhile. Recently, I ordered a pizza, two orders of chicken tenders, antipasto salad, and mozz sticks. Delivery driver dropped off the pizza, mozz sticks, and one order of chicken tenders. I called to report the shortage - the driver returned with the salad. I threw him an extra five bucks for his gas to return, after all, it's not his fault. Still, the second order of tenders didn't show. Called again to complain, and was informed that both orders were placed in one container, which they were not - it wasn't worth arguing over. I'm an outside sales representative in a retail industrial setting - if a customer tells you something is wrong, you try your best to make it right before jumping to conclusions, which is the polar opposite of what happened here. I'd have been fine with a refund for $8.45. Instead, I was told that I was wrong. That's fine - I'll take my business elsewhere from here on out. Delivery driver? Five stars - he's a standup guy. As for the pizza joint service? Far from that. read more

For the second time I have had a disappointing experience. Ordered a pizza at 5:00, for delivery at 6:45. Never arrived. Checked on it at 7:05, and was told it would arrive in 5 minutes because they were very busy. Still, no delivery at 7:30. Finally gave up and canceled. Almost 2 hours notice for an order and still it was never rectified. After many positive experiences, there won't be a third disappointing experience with Mario and Salvo's. Sad... read more

I would like to tell you about my experience at Mario & Salvo's tonight. My last delivery in February, I ordered a sheet pepperoni pizza, along with a couple large pizzas and a calzone with marinara. The delivery came late (delivery guy was really nice), but they forgot the pepperoni on the sheet pizza and they forgot the marinara sauce. I called to let them know, and the girl (also nice) said she would put in a credit for my next order. We decided to order again tonight. Now, I wasn't expecting a whole sheet pizza as credit, but I was not expecting to be given only $2.50 that I had ALREADY paid for in the first order. So basically in order to get my $2.50 back, I once again had to order at least $15-$20 more food from them! We were inconvenienced the first time, as we had family over for my daughter's birthday and now we had only cheese pizzas instead of the pepperoni option on the sheet. I politely asked to speak to the manager/owner. He got on the phone annoyed and had such a bad attitude- he was extremely condescending. I refuse to be spoken to like that by any man, but especially from someone that is supposed to value their customers. I always give a restaurant a chance to make it right, and tonight it was quite the opposite. I had heard so many good things about their pizza on this page, but no amount of credit will ever persuade me to order from this place...very bad attitude from the person in charge! read more

Been going here for years and it's always quality food. The service is fast and the pizza is delicious. The only downside is the limited parking in the plaza. I would recommend it as one of the best pizza places in the area. Pretty limited seating and space, so plan on taking your order to-go. read more

This place is amazing. If you like a thin crust pizza with a fresh sauce that isn't too herby, but is just a little salty, it's here. We crave this pizza sometimes, it's that good. The bbq wings are also a highly recommended menu item. The bbq sauce is tangy and a touch spicy but not too spicy for kids. Overall it's a 10/10 no matter what you get. read more

Excellent meatballs some of the best I've had 8n my life. They remind me of my great grandmother, she also made meatballs to die for!

They rave about Palladinos, Giannis Bronx Pizza, and Pavones....but this unassuming spot in the same strip mall as the Dark Horse Tavern has some mighty good thin crust and garlic knots. The wings are the sleeper as well. I'll sometimes even just get a meatball sub when I'm out in the area...divinity of simplicity. Sometimes you just need the Connecticut red saucy soul food of my youth. Mario and Salvo have been here a long time.....quality control is clearly done right here. read more

Amazing pizza as long as they don't burn the bottom. If you like very thin crusted, cheesy pizza (New York style), this is the place to go. I have a few pizza places in Syracuse I rotate going to and this is one of my favorites. I have been ordering pizza from Mario and Salvo's for years now. The only downside I have encountered from them in the past are a burnt bottom, completely ruining the taste of the pizza. We stopped going to them for quite some time due them constantly burning our pizza. I have not had this problem in a while now, but my family and I are still wary about it. Our favorite is their plain cheese pizza. It just has so much flavor packed into such simple ingredients. Whenever I get toppings I feel like it overpowers the pizza's best qualities (cheese, sauce, and crust). It's definitely the kind of pizza that cannot support itself and it can be more on the soggy side due to such a thin crust in the center. They like to pack most of the crust toward the edges, which I appreciate so I can dip my crust in hot sauce and blue cheese. We also have ordered their wings in the past, either medium or hot. They're average in terms of flavor and quality. There is nothing outstanding about them, but they are still quite good and I will order them whenever I get pizza from here. A personal pet peeve of mine: I like my wings really saucy. I find the sauce is the best part when I eat wings, so unless I specifically ask for extra saucy, they come a little on the drier side. They were still nice and juicy but I like wings smothered in hot sauce. Overall, great pizza with decent chicken wings to compliment. I will continue to come back here as long as I am in the Syracuse area craving good New York style pizza. read more

Cannot even give one star...we use to order pizza and wings there all the time when we lived near them...10 years ago tonight we decided to get an order of wings after a hockey game...these are the worse wings I have ever has you deffently can tell they where fried twice and they where so crispy it was like eating chicken skin chips Totally disappointed and will never order again read more

The food is excellent ... but the owner has been straight-up rude when I've gone there about once a year. I used to think it was funny.

We stopped in here on the last leg of our most recent great American roadtrip. Service was brisk and a bit rough around the edges but I think its part of the charm! Ordered three slices and a fountain pop to share - totally delicious. If we are ever passing by again, I would love to stop in and try their baked ziti with meatballs. Yum! read more

Historically the best pizza in the area. Sweet chewy crust and great old school pizza knowledge, it does seem like they changed the crust recipe around 2019, so down from 5 to 4 stars. read more

this is considered my pal's favorite pizza place in the area! so when i was cruising by tonight and craving a slice, i decided to give it a shot. While waiting for my cheese and mushroom slice to warm up, enjoyed the old school pizza joint vibe (no frills, just eats and a tv). Cheese slice was a little greasy and on the blander side (which is definitely preferred to over-salted)- could have benefited from some pepper/chilis/parmesan/basil/something. Cheese was also super stringy. the mushroom slice, however, was full of high quality mushrooms and bursting with flavor. the crust- as others have noted- is chewy with good integrity (despite a mushroom slice full of toppings). favorite cheese slice in the area goes to francescas, but i'd come back for a mushroom slice... read more

They definitely have some good food! But the service here is some of the worst I've ever encountered before. They have no idea how to treat customers. I've actually been yelled at twice here! Save your time, not worth the headache! read more

Great wings and pretty good pizza! Ordered a large pizza with three items, very good dough. Not a fan of the sausage used but generous portions of each item with a very tasty sauce. Wing were large and crispy - served perfectly! read more

I am one of those few people that aren't addicted to pizza. It takes me A LOT to like pizza or to actually crave it. Most pizza just tastes the same to me and I find it to be bland and boring. Not Mario and Salvo's! A pepperoni slice with two garlic knots and tip for under $5? Count me in. The crust is perfect, sauce is perfect amount of sweet and I usually find most pizza too salty but not here. Perfect lunch day for me :) I will be introducing this to my family soon! The service was very nice. I find most pizza shops too grouchy in Syracuse but not here. They heat up the slice for you, it only takes 2 minutes! read more

Got a large cheese pizza ordered ahead for eat in. It was ready when I got there. Seemed busy for a Friday lunch, still was able to eat in. Which was a relief. Pizza was good. Top 5 in CNY! Will be back. read more

No masks. Not the workers. Not half the people who came in. But the entire staff making the food had no masks on. Owner had his mask half off. Also my plain cheese pizza took an hour not the 30 promised. That happens, that's life. No masks. Is the food safe? Great pizza. So what. read more

Our go to pizza joint especially since we found out about special ordering the thin and crispy crust. Love it! Wings are good, but the "hot" wings are not very spicy. Great calzones as well. read more

Best meatball sub in town. The meatballs sit in a hot bed of sauce and they place it on a homemade roll that is to kill for. They set both in the pizza oven to melt the mozzarella cheese and toast the roll. Meatballs are delicious and you can make a meal out of the roll. The slices of pizza are thin and delicious. Good thing I live in Camillus. I would weigh 300 lbs if I lived closer. read more

NOT happy with them today. Usually we are. Today, I had a piece of Brillo pad in my pizza that I pulled out of my mouth, my pizza was burnt on the bottom and they didn't put the extra cheese on that we paid for. Luckily Slice has great customer service, so they got me a refund from Mario's and gave me a Slice credit, but I only got a $5 refund! I can't believe that piece of metal was in my food, causing me to chew on it!! You need to be more careful, Mario's. We spend a lot of money there and I was looking forward to your amazing pizza. You disappointed me today. I failed to see that the pic I took of the burnt crust had the piece of Brillo pad on the bottom; I missed it, but that's proof it was there. read more

Mario & Salvo's - The piece of Brillo pad, I didn't notice when I took this pic and ending up chewing on it. I took the pic to show Slice it was burnt. - Pizza Near Me - DeWitt, New York

The pizza and pasta dishes here are outstanding! The staff is in constant motion and they pull it all together. Go there on a Friday evening and watch the pros make it happen. I grew up in NYC and this pizza is as good if not better than any pizza restaurant there. Also, treat yourself to a meatball sub! Outstanding! read more

Ordered 24 garlic Wings tonight when I got home obviously theses wings been reheated from earlier in the night and they are all dried out its a shame they would serve this to a customer I live on the other side of town so probably would have not done any good to call them up because they know what they did just to save thereself $5 read more

Was here from Rochester doing work at Excellus insurance company best pizza I ever had

Legendary. Syracuse is an outstanding city for pizza, and Mario & Salvo's is the greatest of them all. The secret weapon is the sauce, which may be the best I've had on any pizza, anywhere. Seriously, this place is so authentic, classic, and excellent it should be a UNESCO World Heritage Site. read more
