We ordered takeout at Mario's and had the Mario Special as well as a pepperoni and black olive pizza. The pizza is kind of like a New York style pizza with the thin crust. Both pizzas came with generous toppings and had great flavor. Overall it was a good experience and I would return if I'm back in the area. read more

Solid pizza option on the West end of the island. It's not a dine in spot but pickup is a good business for the place. Conveniently located in a small strip center at Mile 12 Road amongst a convenience store, liquor store and Seafood market. This could be your one stop spot. Pizza crust is medium thin/thick, sauce is good and toppings are plentiful. Drop in for the kids or yourself. read more

Called to make a take out. On hold for 17 mins. Drove there and told 2 hours wait before order can go in oven. Unreal how unorganized they can be. Could have told us on phone but they didn't care to take care of customer. These guys have gotten way over their head at this locat read more

We came in and ordered a pizza, I asked if I could use the restroom and the lady was nice enough to let me use it, a couple minutes later I had to go back in and asked if it's ok, the guy in the front decided to be an ASS HOLE and refused to let me use the restroom, the lady just stood there quiet and looked at me, told them this is a joke and I will be leaving a review, they didn't seem to care so there you go, plenty of pizzas around with service much better than this one, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE‼ read more

Mario's Pizza - Lady refusing to let me use the restroom - Pizza Near Me - Galveston, Texas

The pizza was average. But better than chain restaurant pizza! We liked we didn't have to drive all the way to Galveston, so great location!

8/23/2025 Pizza wasn't as good as the one we ordered a month ago. Same order, pepperoni, black olives, pineapple, jalapeños. 14 inch $24.17 with tax. This time pizza tasted like a frozen pizza. read more

Got a supreme, a meat combo and pepperoni and their pizza was deeelicious! I'm not a big franchise/ takeout pizza person, so I always look for something better than the norm (like Pizza Hut, dominos, Pappa John's) I thoroughly enjoyed, not super thin, but not thick crust, so yum. read more

Yuuuuummy! Fresh toppings, great crust and a deal! We called in an order for a medium Mario's special, bread and salad to go. Our order taker was pleasant. The pizza came loaded with quality ingredients. The cheesy garlic bread with marinara sauce was toasted to perfection and the marinara sauce was delicious. The garden salad had tomatoes, cucumbers and black olives. It was large enough for 2 people. Everything was wonderful! We were able to make 2 meals out of our order and still had bread leftover. In the Jamaica Beach area, I've now tried 2 pizza places. This one is by far the best for service, food quality and price. Highly recommend! read more

Food great! Service on time and easy in and out! Go to now for pizza! Recommend it to all!

This restaurant was recommended by the gentleman that owns the condo that we're staying at this week, and we are so glad that he made the recommendation. Mario's is truly authentic Italian, and probably made one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. We combined it with the Greek salad which was plentiful for two of us to share. We enjoyed our time at Mario's and the service was top shelf. read more

Delicious pizza, salads and sandwiches. Fast as well. Recommend highly for the west end of the island.

They have come a long way since my first review in 2017 which was 5-stars. After the pandemic they stripped out the dining room and eliminated the cozy environment befitting a corner neighborhood Italian restaurant, becoming take-out only. With some revisions the menu was cut, and over time the excellent pizza has become poor. Last night we took out 2 pizzas and cheese sticks after not being there for approximately 6 months. The pizza was terrible, crust not very tasty, cheese thrown on and seemingly like something processed and not fresh. The cheese sticks were like a bad frozen meal. We rated it at a C- to D+ to be generous for both pizza and the cheese sticks. Our Freshettta, thick crust frozen pizzas we buy from Kroger for $3.99 on sale are much better. Since pre-pandemic this store has gone downhill with no apparent care from the ownership to improve. Sad story. read more

We ordered the margarita pizza and Greek salad for takeout. The pizza was obviously not freshly made. It was ready within 5 'minutes of calling. Crust was hard as a rock, toppings cold, and no flavor unless you like the whole basil leaves thrown on top. You can get a better pizza from the frozen food section at Krogers. Only give it two stars because the guy who waited on us was friendly. Oh and the order online link they give you to call to place an order doesn't work. So kept calling and after several attempts someone answered the phone and took our order. Bill was $30 for a medium pizza and Greek Salad that was also bad. Won't being going back. read more

Our rental host suggested Mario's for great local pizza and we weren't disappointed. Winter hours were in effect, which meant limited operating days and hours. No spontaneous pizza ordering for sure. We knew from reading reviews that service could be slow, so we ordered online and gave them 30 minutes more than the predicted "order ready" time. Sure enough, our pizza was ready and waiting when we arrived. We ordered a large Mario's Special. It's 8 pieces. Perfect for two meals for our twosome. The bacon on top was crispy and altogether the pizza was delicious. There's a faint cornmeal dusting on the crust which gives it a nice crunch. Definitely would order here again! read more

Decent crust, toppings were a bit on the crumbly side for my liking. Maybe more cheese would help. Nothing special but nothing terrible either. Pizza was ready for pickup in 10 minutes, and they also deliver. Nice to have at this end of the island. read more

Omg what an amazing pizza! The dough was thin but fresh and delicious, a little hint of yeast to really pull it all together. The toppings were unique and good. Great sauce, nice and cheesy. I appreciate a place that lets you half and half toppings (I also am obsessed with artichoke hearts so whenever a pizza place has them I'm instantly already excited). A delicious pizza and friendly staff. I ordered online and picked it up since we were in an Air B&B nearby. Fast, convenient, and so good. Bravo! read more

Got the lasagna pizza. It was fine but could tell it was prepared earlier and then just kept warm before serving. it was not hot, but we were too tired hungry and cold to wait for a fresh pizza. Forty eight degrees outside and air conditioning was on inside, most customers had coats on. Got my money once Mario, never again. Too bad. read more

Jamaica Beach folks you have a gem here! Having enjoyed Chicago and New York pizza all my life. This is on par with the best I've ever had. No lie. I don't submit much, but felt these folks deserved it. Did this on a whim because it was late, and Mama Theresa's was too far. So glad we did. (More NY Italiano style by the great crust) We will be back, so convenient to our vrbo wish we knew about this years ago! To the folks new to the area, yeah it's not much to look at, but they obviously focus on the pizza and not the ambiance. It's a take out place! What does ambiance taste like anyway? read more

Amazing people and customer service and pizza is great for a grab and go to the beach or the pool. Fast service and great food!

Ordered half and half pizza for my family that was visiting from Buna, TX. When delivered one side was just cheese! Called them back and they gave me the pizza for free. Thank you! We got a piece of Italian Cream cake.. yummy! read more

Some of the best pizza I've had in a long time! Every time we visit Galveston our first stop is Mario's! They deliver a great pizza especially the supreme, Alfredo and plain cheese/pepperoni. They also have great salads and house dressing. I wish they were in Dallas they would do so well as we don't have any pizza near this caliber north of Dallas. Eating leftovers typing this it's fantastic! read more

We have visited all Mario pizza locations on Galveston island. This last visit was at the 61st location and did not disappoint. The mushroom appetizer is always a go to and is always excellent. The pizza was very good as we like the thinner crusts. I can't say enough about their lasagna as it too is a go to. Always good service. Marios is a great go to for us as it is very convenient!! Enjoy! read more

My husband and I came to the beach for a mini vacay. We wanted a quick easy lunch. BUT, they were closed until 5pm during the week. We did not know this until I drove to get the pizzas. We have ate here before and loved the Bianca pizza. (Alfredo sauce, spinach, ricotta & mozzarella cheese) We add Canadian bacon and pineapple. Yummy. read more

Mario's Pizza - Oh yeah! Great pizza - Pizza Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Order pizza to go was ready when I arrived and still hot. Also had a salad that was amazing as well!

Ordered Mario's Pizza today because other reviews had some great pictures. It was ok... It had a cracker-type crust and I'm not a fan. Toppings were good. Pizza was a bit on the greasy side. The staff was nice and the wait was short. They don't allow dine in... only pick up and delivery. read more

Excellent pizza and service! We ordered a large pepperoni, mushroom and black olive pizza. It was great heated up, also!

Anyone rating this place as 3 stars or better is not a local, but there's not much to choose from on the West End. Options are this marginal pizza joint or Hunt Brothers Pizza at Fresco Mart. When you walk in to pick up your pizza you'll understand. read more

Pepperoni and cheese pizza were delicious. Worth a visit and the service was pretty fast even at a busy time.

First time back here in a few months and was surprised at how bad the pizza was. We had indigestion all afternoon. Usually good but today was awful read more

What I would consider in Guy's terminology as a 'dive'. Oh but what a pizza! We ordered 4 of various types and were not disappointed in the least in any of them. We ordered over the phone and picked up. Didn't wait long at all--maybe 45 min. total. We actually raved about the veggie pizza and it didn't last long. Great evening and awesome pizza read more

Actually really great pizza for the money. Kids loved it. Salad was "ok". Nothing to write home about but the kids loved their pepperoni pizza and my meat lovers was quite good. read more

Mario's Jamaica Beach has great food!! Never disappointed. Take out only. Recommend Spaghetti Mario

Pizza was pretty good - overall experience only earns 2 stars. Called twice, hung on for 15 minutes each time, no answer. Two different websites, confusing as to location - placed an order, received a 50 minute wait time, but didn't send a confirmation email. Arrive at Mario's (West) location - they don't have my order! 25 minute wait and no salads, garlic bread or anything else available unless we're willing to wait over an hour. Positives: pizza was pretty good, a little salty, took 20 instead of 25 minutes. Negatives: owners, management need to get their act together. No one has claimed the business on Yelp - indicates a poor attitude or lack of passion. This is the service industry, we're looking for great, even exceptional service. read more

Great vegetarian pizza with lots of veggies and good sauce. Ordered a Caesar salad.......waaayyyyy toooo much dressing--/uneatable!!

Made me feel like I was Mario. Seriously, I took a bite of that pizza and I was like WAHOO and jumping around and stuff. That pizza was pretty dang good, good job Mario. read more

Honestly not sure what all these bad reviews are about. I'm pretty picky about pizza and give this a solid B+. Plus, delivery was super quick and friendly to the west side of the island read more

Mario's at Pirates Beach offers pickup and delivery on the west end. They are known for their pizza but offer other Italian dishes as well.

Mario's has never let us down. Their pizzas are to die for , well, until this last time.... Lo-n-behold the day we get family visitors we decided to introduce them to Mario's fabulous pizza and boy were we disappointed this time. I think on that day, of ALL FREAKING days, their chef decided to retire and they gave us TV dinner pizzas instead. We ordered the carnivore and it was more like the burnt to death stiff bread charcoaled freaking worst pizza I've ever tasted . Awww hello? Inspection before leaving the box ? Why did I not return it? It was late and 4 miles away!!! Awww forget it (I said...) Do I sound mad? Yes because I gave Mario's great reviews to my family members and we were all disappointed after this experience . Consistency let us down this time. So they had a bad day? Maybe Can't please them all? Maybe Not sure if I'd like to risk another order in the future again ... Good luck to Mario's and i wish they improve and soon read more

I do not understand any possible rating less than 5 stars for this location down the west end a bit, in the Pirate's Beach area. We've ordered takeout numerous times (always SO hot, fast and delicious - just be aware they are closed on Mondays!), and my daughter and I visited in person after an impromptu beach day down the road at the Galveston Pocket Park 2. What goes better with sand in your toes, sunburn, and (ahem) a waning buzz from your beach-beverages than pizza, more adult beverages, and some baller fried mozzarella? You clearly know my answer; nothing. Mario's is perfection. We've eaten at the 61st st location and found it "ok" but as the guys at Mario's West will tell you, they just flat-out do it better. I spent my formative years in NY and CT and am extremely picky about pizza. This is LEGIT as close to NY pizza as you'll get outside of NY. Shiner was ice-cold, fried cheese clearly never spent a second in a Sysco truck, and go ahead, roll on in after a day at the beach looking like a swamp witch. You'll be treated well, and leave happy. read more
