Margherita pizza
Sarah C.

Despite being in such a good location, I can't believe I've never been here. I stopped by on the way back from Costco to get a 10" margherita pizza. I watched them make it. It was delicious. I'm sure I'll be back.

Have you ever seen this before?
Laura M.

The pizza was ridiculously wrong. See picture. Totally ludicrous. I ordered a pepperoni pizza, and I think there was one pepperoni per slice.... a little tiny bit of cheese... and oh my the sauce. So. much. sauce. What did I do to the Pizza Gods to deserve this?!! I didn't open it before I left. LUDICROUS, I say! I should have ate my $20 dollars. MUY MAL! OY VEY!

Lunch break from study at ATRIUM WAKE FOREST BAPTIST HOSPITAL.

There is a reason why Mario's is able to add new locations from time to time. Just plain consistently good pizza, Napolitano and/or New York style which are basically one in the same. One slice of pizza is enough for a meal, rather huge. There are other New York Pizza options in this area but each has their own slight variation on the formula. To me Mario's hits the home run with a perfect balance between cheese and the sauce. The sauce is particularly good has lots of flavor and maybe even a slight slight bite or kick to it. Crust is also on target just slightly charred but not burnt and far from burnt to a crisp. Reminds me of the Pizza I ate often growing up in NYC. Government and I love being able to fold a pizza and eat it properly like a New Yorker. Some other good New York chains may not have the crust as right one in particular makes it so thin at times that it's kind of hard to eat it easily with one hand. But not Mario's CONSISTENTLY proper. Owners are fro the city, Staten Island if I am correct. Home to lot's of Italians. And obviously the skills have been passed down to the staff at every location I have had the privilege to sample. CONSISTENCY. This location at Cloverdale by Atrium Wake Forest Baptist hospital I think may be the original Mario's location? It can accommodate a huge number of clients with so many tables and chairs and even barstools which I think is really cool especially for lunch on the run gives me the feeling of New York City. Some years back the restaurant was remodeled and they have done a nice job with bold colors and tile floors and tile in the bathrooms. Love the LCD screen menus and the pictorial representation of how big the different size pizzas are. Makes everything very clear. And the staff run a smooth operation. And the guy at the cash register as a friendly demeanor. Always happy with my home for pizza, MARRIO's. Especially the two very close locations to my house in Ardmore. As a NYC'er I strongly recommend any MARIO'S.

Good hot and fresh pizza. Service was quick. Girl at the front was helpful! Restaurant was clean. We ate outside to enjoy the nice evening weather. No complaints on this one. First time here and would return when I head back into town!

10" cheese pizza(with extra cheese)

I've been eating at Mario's Pizza for about 20 years but usually don't go to this location. This location is larger than the other 3 Mario's in our area. It's off the beaten path a little on Cloverdale next to Panera. I came in for lunch with my husband on a Saturday around 12:30 pm. It wasn't busy when we got here but the dining room soon filled up with customers and a small soccer team that sat in the back of the restaurant(Oh the memories!) We ordered a small cheese pizza, well done because I like a crispy crust and I can't come here without getting a Chicken Philly made 'Mario's way' or I'd hate myself. Seriously, I could die happy eating this sandwich and tacos for the rest of my life. Of course our food was amazing, the service was super friendly and fast. All the usual great things that keep me coming back, but THIS location has two awesome things the others(well, at least the one on Hanes Mall Blvd) doesn't. #1: Cheerwine in the fountain. Yep! My favorite local soft drink is available at this location. #2 THE Tiramisu. It's in a little plastic cup and I don't know why, but I love it! The other location switched to a sliced version and it's just not good to me. The little cup is the one I crave. I'll keep ordering it as long as they keep carrying it so please don't ever switch Cloverdale Mario's! You are going to be my first choice location from now on.

Pepperoni and mushroom 19 inch

Mario's is an excellent pizza spot right near my house which makes for an awesome quick fix when I'm craving pizza! I've had 3 different pizzas here and each one is consistent and delicious. The service is fast and efficient. I have only ever done take out so I cannot speak to the quality of service on the inside but everyone on the phone has been so friendly. The pizzas are HUGE so if you're entertaining, this would be a great option. The slices are just so impressive. My favorite pizza right now is the pepperoni/mushroom. Order some marinara for dipping and, oh! They have really good ranch. Overall, a really solid choice in Winston for a good pizza.

Housed in a former Coca-Cola bottling plant, Grandpa Joe's pays homage to the site's history through its red and black décor. The menu offers salads, floats, and soft serve though pizza is the star attraction. It is served by the rectangular slab (about $8 per). Order at the counter, grab a number for your table, and wait for the oven to work its magic. For our first visit, my wife and I split a trio of slabs -- an Italian sausage, a mushroom, and a tomato and burrata -- with a side of marinara. All three were excellent. The focaccia crusts were crispy while still retaining airiness. From melty mozzarella to savory, fennel-forward sausage, Grandpa Joe's uses high-quality ingredients. The marinara was good: bright, fresh, and just a bit sweet. The mushroom slab came topped with arugula and shaved parmesan. Despite seeming like a gimmick (pizza? Salad? Why not both?), it proved an effective combination: the arugula's bitterness played well with the mushrooms' earthy flavors. There will be a certain type of pizza connoisseur for whom anything that isn't New York style is, by definition, fraudulent. For those with horizons broad enough to enjoy a thicker crust, Grandpa Joe's is the best of that kind that I've found in the Triad.

Their current soft serve flavor is raspberry and it's so good! The service is always friendly and fast. We usually have our dogs with us so we've never eaten inside before.

In my opinion, and after reading many reviews, I feel that sometimes a restaurant or any business can have an off day. That being said, this visit is night and day from our previous one. We chose to come on a Wednesday early evening since that usually is a slow period in the area. We did not want to get seated at the bar to eat, and when we came here, there were only a few customers, so we got seated right away by the friendly hostess. My wife and I decided to split a pizza and chose a simple, what I would consider a Margherita pizza, but not called that on the menu (sauce, bufala mozzarella, and basil, with a drizzle of olive oil). This simple pizza was a work of art and likely the best pizza we have had in over 10 years. The crust from the pizza had a wonderful char with the edge slightly raised and the flavor... OMG... even before it got to my mouth, I could tell it was going to be delicious from the aroma of the sauce and cheese. After our meal, I asked the staff if I could take a picture of the oven to post on Yelp, and one of the guys said, "Sure, why don't you come around and see it?" So I walked around and stood at a distance.... It is a wood-fired oven, and I don't have "stupid" tattooed on me, so I knew it was hot. I chatted for a few minutes, and it turned out that the guy who invited me around was the owner, Chef Peyton Smith. He is a James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef in the Southeast. Had I known that, I would have talked more since it is not every day you meet such an acclaimed chef. Regardless, thank you, Chef Smith, and your entire staff for not only turning my opinion around, but for making the best pizza I have had in a long time. If you don't believe the hype, try it for yourself, and you likely will experience what we did.

This was an excellent start for our evening there. A beautiful presentation of five pieces, nicely toasted with paper thin prosciutto de parma, fresh mozzarella, chopped tomato, capers and balsamic reduction drizzle. Delicious, rich, crunchy, sweet, savory and full flavored. I went for the Parmigiana with chicken, served over angel hair with a rich tomato sauce. A hearty meal, the chicken cutlet was breaded nicely, and pounded thin, cooked very well. The pasta underneath cooked al dante, and it all smoothered in a rich maranara. We also tried the Mediterranean pizza, a 12" and it was huge. A well made pie, loaded with ingredients. The combination of fresh pesto with the mushrooms, olives, banana peppers, roasted red peppers and feta was a solid choice. Along with a cold draft Stella it made for an very good meal. 4 Stars a solid choice for a good meal 01242

I'm one for fresh and ready made pizza for the best experience. I'll honestly eat any pizza, but a fresh one straight from the oven is where it's at. Most pizza joints, including this one, make their pies and then sit them underneath a holding area, and reheat when ordered later in the day. I still absolutely love that pizza. When I showed up at opening on a weekday, the pies were just baked and completely fresh. Both the pepperoni and cheese slice were perfect. I love cold pizza, reheated pizza, next day for breakfast pizza, you name it. But there's something about a slice or pie that hits your plate as soon as it's baked. And I had to test the pizza a bit later in the day. Still what you'd expect from a solid pizza joint. The pies here are delicious, whether fresh, reheated or cold leftovers the next day.

Always on the quest to try new things, this was our lunch time stop once day while out and about. It was a beautiful sunny day, and I appreciated that there were outside seating options. There were both exposed and shaded areas, plus plenty of indoor seating. The whole thing their brand revolves around is a large wood-fired oven, and you can see this prominently when you walk in the door. The subtle smoky smell really adds to the atmosphere and makes you hungry right away. We came during lunch time, so we took advance of their lunch specials, where you get a half serving of a pizza plus another item (we both opted for wings as the other item.) I opted for the 4X4 pizza (4 meats) and the Garlic Rosemary wings, while my wife got the Bronx Bomber pizza and buffalo wings. On both sides, the wings were delicious in an unexpected way, grilled but with a nice char, and full of meat. The seasonings on both were just right, and I didn't even bother dipping mine in any dressing. The 4x4 pizza was quite greasy, with oil dripping off when you pick it up. I used a bunch of napkins to blot what I could off, but the amount of grease got in the way of enjoying the flavor. To be fair, it is on an olive oil base, but when you combine that with all the intrinsic fat of the processed meats, it was too much. The Bronx Bomber, however, was much better. With spicy Italian sausage, prosciutto, mozzarella, Gorgonzola, and topped with fresh oregano, it was flavorful but balanced, and good to the last bite. The server we had, who's name escapes me, was very friendly, attentive, and made helpful suggestions. I'd certainly come back here another day for lunch, though I would pass on the 4x4 Pizza next time.

Yet I'd never visited this location in the area of Hanes Mall, at least not until recently. This outpost might be a bit tougher to spot from the roadway than its more northerly cousin, as the orientation of the building leaves it hard to see from Hanes Mall Boulevard and it's quite a ways back from Silas Creek Parkway. The interior felt more spacious though, and even included a bar. I was here for lunch on a workday though. Quickly seated, I found the menu seemed a bit different than I'd become accustomed to. The lunch specials were different also, and so it took me some time to choose my meal. The waitress was patient with me, and eventually I selected the tortellini Bolognese. She rapidly returned with complimentary bread, which again I found quite different from what I remembered of the other Elizabeth's location. This was more of a sliced white loaf, and while the accompaniment had plenty of garlic I didn't find it or the bread as addictive as I'd experienced at the University franchise. The main dish was pretty dang good though. A full plate of lovely round orbs of pasta, cooked nicely and smothered in a delicious sauce, with melted cheese interspersed throughout -- the tortellini was a delicious selection and quite filling too. I found the restaurant clean and the service prompt. Not bad at all...but I was surprised at how different things seemed here from what I'd previously experienced on the other side of the city. I'd come back here, but I think I prefer the Coliseum option (especially for the better bread), even if the decor and the space itself didn't seem as nice as this one. 3.5 stars.
