I like this little place. The bread they use for the sandwiches is really good. I got a special A. I do think it would be better to buy the bigger balls of mozzarella though and slice it. The flavor comes out better than in using the ciliegine mozz. Meatballs and marinara sauce were good. Mini cannoli was fine. Really nice owners. I thought about that bread all week and had to return. The chicken parm sandwich is really good. The tiramisu tastes like a nice cream cake but is light on the coffee flavor, fyi. I have also tried the #12 sub, the chicken alfredo, the brownie, the bread, and the salad. Salad is fresh and I love the homemade ranch and balsamic dressings. I came here once not too long ago and have not stopped thinking about it since, so I keep coming back. read more

Mario's came highly recommended via the other yelp reviews and I definitely was not let down! Mozzarella sticks and pizza were both very yummy. Did seem a bit on the pricier side but this is a vacation spot. There isn't much room for dining inside but they do have a cute outdoor area that can fit larger parties! Would eat here again. read more

I had a group of people visiting and I preordered about 9 sandwiches and a few large salads. Everything was great. I had them cut the sandwiches in thirds instead of in half so people could try different ones. They included onions and peppers, salad dressing and gravy on the side and it worked out really well. I am going to use them for my next party. read more

We stopped by on our first night in the area...pizza is an easy choice for our family. We were not disappointed. We ordered a Caesar salad, cheesy breadsticks, house special pizza and a cheese pizza. The Caesar salad was my favorite - the dressing was so delicious! The rest of the meal was also good. The sauce that came with the breadsticks was robust. The house special was generously topped with alllllll the things. I didn't taste the cheese pizza but our boys devoured it. There is a tiny indoor dining area and a few tables outside as well. We were the only ones eating there, but they had a constant stream of people picking up to-go orders. The owner was there and he came out and chatted with us in between making pizzas. Would absolutely recommend this place! read more

We have been coming to New Buffalo for about 8 years, but we never tried the food here. It's just a little hole in the wall with some outdoor seating. Our First nite we had pizza and it was very good. We decided to give it another try right before coming home we ordered pasta with the 4 cheeses baked on top. We were going to order two but the owner , Harmony, said 1 was big enough for two. Well, totally stunned when it came out and it could have fed a family of 4-5. We took it to go, hoping we could find someone to give it too since we were leaving to go home in the morning, but we were talking to a nice couple who lived here and mentioned our but of small problem , they offered to take it. DO NOT PASS UP THIS PLACE. It is delicious, homemade food and large portions and not overpriced. The desserts as well are homemade. We will definitely be back next year. read more

Very disappointed with the food. Have had their pizza before COVID and the crust was exceptional as was the toppings. Picked up my order tonight and when I got home and opened the boxes I was shocked. The crust was flat as a pancake. It certainly wasn't the hand tossed fresh dough variety. The sauce looked and tasted like it can from the can and the cheese was plopped on in circles and had not melted in nicely with the other topping. It looked like it had been taken out of the oven to early. The bread on the hot meatball sandwich was soggy from the sauce and did not hold up well against the meatballs. Chose Mario's over Capozio's and this was a tragic mistake. Have never been disappointed with Capozio's Pizza and thought that I would give Mario's the business . It won't ever happen again. read more

We had a good experience here We did takeout. The food was really good. Much better than villa nova pizza in New Buffalo One little miss was we didn't get our salad. We didn't realize it until much later and found a phone message asking if they could deliver the salad to us It was way to late to get the salad by no post fault of theirs. Wish we had time to go back and try some other things but time gets in the way One thing to help hopefully. The BBQ chicken pizza had good flavor and good everything else except the chicken pieces were so big that there was almost no coverage in the pizza. We wish they pieces were much smaller and covered more area. read more

This is a blink-and-miss-it type place. But what it lacks in size, it MORE than makes up for it in flavor. Holy cow was this a great pizza. First off they make everything in house. The marinara sauce was phenomenal. The crust was crispy and the toppings were quality. The only bad thing was that we all burned our mouths because we were too impatient to let it cool before digging in. Next time we will pick up and take it back to the hotel before digging in. Whenever we are in the area on future visits, we will be making a stop at Mario's. read more

We want to like this place because it one of the few places in Union Pier. Last year we had a couple of large beef sandwiches. Pretty good, different from your typical beef sandwiches in Chicago. This time we ordered a large pizza, weird size, 17", but actually was perfect size. Now for the pizza, that's why the score. Soggy crust but I guess they're trying to do a New York style pie? Most of the clientele are Chicagoans who have 2nd homes here or who have relocated. We're not going to write this place off because of it location to our home. Next time we'll try something different on the menu. read more

Please dont waste your time. I felt like Gordon Ramsey opening up that box of pizza that cost $20. A "pizza" place claims this s*** as their pizza? "This can't be true" I thought, but it was true. This pizza was like pizza cooked in a high school cafeteria. Greasy toppings, soggy crust, and plastic cheese. I see the owners read the reviews so take note as this is a genuine harsh criticism. Your pizza sucks and whoever says it doesn't is lying. I would seriously reconsider operating a pizza joint until you have completely re-tuned your pizza recipe. read more

I want to like this place more than I do. I'm not sure there's been a change in the ownership, but surely there has been a recent change in the quality of the pizza and subs since last year's visit. Takeout for 4 with leftovers was $60+. Chicken Parm, to me, is pounded breast meat, drenched in egg wash and breaded, then fried. Topped with mozzarella and marinara it's heaven on a sub roll. What we took home was un-breaded chicken cubes fried on the flat top with cheese and mushrooms. Canned mushrooms. Lots of canned mushrooms. It was good, but not great. read more

By far my favorite pizza place!! Every time I order, I am never disappointed. My go tos are the white pie and the pepperoni calzone. The calzone's dough is perfectly cooked and there is never a lack of cheese. The combination of the ricotta and mozzarella is unbeatable. As for the pizza, the flavor is always out of this world and the crust is perfectly crispy. I have loved Mario's since I was a child, and now make it a priority to order it every time I am back in town. I hope this place continues to thrive! read more

Wowww wow wow! I…read morewasnt sure what to expect when my friend suggested this place but I was thoroughly and pleasantly surprised. The "Detroit style" pizza really reminds me more of focaccia bread. It is SO fluffy and delightful. Unpopular opinion here but I typically don't consider pizza to be a "meal." It's something you eat when you don't have it in you to cook, and even if you get it in Chicago it's like...a last ditch effort at feeding yourself. BUT this feels like a meal. Like a treat. Like a schmancy lil indulgence you deserve. My friend is gluten free and I never in a million years would guess this is gluten free. I almost hope they didn't mistakenly put it on regular dough, for my friends sake. But if this is legitimately gluten free, I would gladly get it again even if I wasn't with a gluten intolerant friend. The artichoke pieces are massive, tender and tangy. The sausage is a bit strange, ground sausage instead of little lumps. And the mushrooms really top the "artesenal" feel. There's a cute little market with interesting delicacies and they have an incredibly diverse assortment of non-alcoholic beverages. The clerk did an amazing job of describing many of the options, took a lot of time making sure we knew what we were looking at. Definitely a connoisseur. Fabulous. A little pricey but, again, this is an indulgence. A meal. A quaint opportunity to relax and engulf yourself in fluffy, delectable fare that feels authentic and real. Not just ingredients tossed on a piece of dough for convenience sake. I look for to my next visit here!

"A perfect pit stop for pizza, pours, and ridiculous good times"…read more If you're the kind of person who likes pizza so big it threatens to spill over your lap, beer cold enough to make a snowman jealous, and a bar atmosphere that's "rustic chic" -- otherwise known as "dive-bar with a soul" -- then Swells is your joint. Walk in and you're instantly hit with: a dozen TVs showing whatever game, a neon sign letting you know you're not in Kansas (or Chicago), and the unmistakable aroma of something cheesy, savory, and probably sinful. I went for the Detroit-style pizza and wasn't disappointed -- each square slice was like a little piece of heaven on a cardboard platform. The bartenders? Friendly as a farm dog when you show up with the cooler tucked in back of your pickup. Drinks flow quick, conversations are easy, and before you know it you've swapped a few tall tales with locals who've probably been coming in since the 80s (and loving the same 80s-era jukebox hits). The vibe's cozy, no pretense -- just good grub + good company. Yes, the parking lot's about as roomy as a Lincoln continental in a compact-car slot, but that's half the charm -- if everyone else's SUVs are packed in tight, it must mean you found the right place. Bottom line: if you're cruising US-12, or in the mood for cheap drinks, honest food, and a laugh or two -- Swells is the kind of place where you leave with a full belly, a warm buzz, and a grin. I'll definitely be back (and likely announcing it loud enough for the bartender to overhear it over the next game).

They were all done eating and we still didn't have ours. We asked 3 different times when our pizza would be out.

And so we stopped at Red Arrow road house . Its one off our go to places for great home cooking and rib specials , food is always great . Has the warmth of a old cabin type road house and the brews on tap are outstanding . My favorite is thier meatloaf and gravy with home made mash potatoes. One of my favorite meals as a kid. The service is so friendly and helpful. Lots of Items that are gluten free , and our server really understands it and is a great help with the menu. Merry Christmas . Remember your local restaurants could use the help and gift cards help them and your family and friends a nite out were they can enjoy a great meal like you do.

We went between lunch and dinner which was the way to go. We were able to get the last two seats at the bar. The bartender was friendly and provided good service. We had the buffalo cauliflower, bloody Mary's, meatloaf and cavatelli pasta. No complaints at all. We couldn't finish so we have leftovers for lunch tomorrow . It's right on Route 12, easy to get to.

My husband and the portobello sandwich and I had the Italian beef. They were just ok. For $22, I probably won't get the beef again. I think the portobello was $20.
