Every time I pop in here for a quick slice and empanada, Marios always brings a smile to my face. The place is so friendly and family-oriented, you can't help but feel at home here in this tiny shoe box where everything is definitely made with pride and love. With patrons and workers hugging and kissing each other hello, escape here to feel as if you're in a friendly little cafe in Argentina. The pizza is great (generous slices with lots of cheese) and the empanadas are so fresh and delicious. A little Bosa Nova Jazz in the background with a soccer game always on the TV, I like it here. I should visit more often. Ciao and Adios for now! read more

Delicious Italian food with an Argentina flair. All their macaroni is cooked to perfection!!! Empanadas are to die for. Service is great!!!

Mario's will never stop impressing me with its food quality and how delicious it is. I highly recommend to stop by before summer ends and try their summer specials. The owner Cristian always welcomes me and my family like if he knew us from decades. read more

Mario's Saddle Brook Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Saddle Brook, New Jersey

Food is always great.. staff rocks... BUT dude, can you work on the outside image of your business? A little pride in ownership goes a long way ! specifically those lousy faded signs. They look like they've been there for 50 years! you can't even read anything! just not understanding why they're there like that? read more

We went to Mario's last night for the first time. We ordered soup, fried calamari and a pizza ( half sausage). Everything was spectacular. Some say it's a little expensive but you're getting a superior product. I saw several other customers getting amazing looking platters read more

Pizza changed for the worse Good tacos hot in summer get your food and head for your car turn on sir conditioni read more

Not that you need hear this from me but I was wonderfully surprised when I went in thinking I was just going to get a couple of slices but ended up with a nice Argentina style stake sandwich All I was missing was a glass of wine. Place is top notch. read more

Went to dinner to Mario's on Monday. The place is simple and feels more like a pizzeria than a full service restaurant. We got in and were seated. Definitely a mom and pop spot so that makes it unique. I visited the restaurant because it was suggested by friends. I also saw some images on instagram so this Monday was it. The experience was very good. It is an Argentine restaurant so if you like the cuisine this is your place. Just keep in mind no liquor. You can bring wine and assume beer. We stayed with non alcohol. The greet was nice. Took our orders smoothly. Everyone works to serve you. Gentleman from the back came out often to assist. Delivery person was also involved. I believe the mom kept an eye on the floor. Food: everything was pretty good. Flavor is more on the mild side of things and not salty. Noticed that guests were a mix of older and younger some with kids. Space is small so I suggest getting in early by 6:30pm it was full. We had the beef empanadas...were very good. Just keep in mind Argentine style. Got a spinach salad. It was ok but I would prefer they mix the salad and dressing. It was instead drizzled on top. Not a big problem. Next time I will ask. Ordered the cheese and chorizo app. It was very good. Could use a little flavor with the Chorizo. Mains...ordered 2 Pasta and short rib topped with burrata dishes and the steak lomito. Pastas were very good but needed a touch of salt but it was very good. The highlight was the lomito. Overall very good. Dessert ordered the flan. It was good but not great. It was a bit tough. Coffee was very good. So overall it was a very nice experience. My guests enjoyed it and yes I will be back. I love Argentine food so this was good for me. Menu is large. Pizza for kids is great. read more

The place exterior looks run down but in saw plenty of people going in. I accidentally ran into this establishment trying to get another Mario pizza. I was greated by a friendly reception. I decided to try the spinach and cheese empanada. Each cost $3.75 but will leave you hungry. I also got the chicken parm pizza. Both were heated nicely. After the 1st bite of the pizza I wished I had ordered something different. The empanada was pretty straight forward as well. The price is a little high. But there seem to have many regulars. read more

Don't let the unlikely location and unassuming exterior fool you. The food is as typical of a New Jersey Italian eatery as you'll get. Friendly staff that make you feel welcome. Feels family run and local. Variety of choices. Enough for vegetarians. Clean. Quick. Filling. read more

Was tasty but not the very best. The Sicilian slice when warmed up was great! There was an after taste to this slice that just SCREAMED old school pizza place. I liked it but I also wouldn't get it again? I can't really accurately describe it. The Sicilian definitely upgraded this to a four star or else it would sit safely at 3.5. Everyone's nice in here and it seems to always be packed. The white pie was not very flavorful, but also salty. I couldn't finish one slice much less the two I got. (I love white pie's and could probably eat a whole one if I loved it). read more

I have been ordering at this place and their food are cooked to your satisfaction. I had tried the following and I highly recommend: - Emapanadas (chicken or meat) - Margarita / Meat Lovers Pizza - Eggplant Parmigiana Sandwich - Hot Roast Beef Sandwich The sandwiches are good to share for 2 if you are not a heavy eater. Best is to order ahead because it takes a while to prepare your orders. read more

I think it's highly overrated and definitely overpriced. I had went a few times because people tell me Mario's has the best chicken parm or best Italian hero and so on but I was never impressed. I never had the pizza. read more

Mario's Saddle Brook Pizza - Argentine pizza - Pizza Near Me - Saddle Brook, New Jersey

This restaurant it's not what it seems on the outside. I was completely judging before I entered. I was pleasantly surprised by the customer service, the food and the homey vibes it gave me. The gentleman behind the counter brought a cup with ice and my Snapple I ordered. Another gentleman brought me warm bread and butter which was very good. I asked for more bread and wasn't charged for it which was very nice of the establishment. I order calamari which also was very good. The price was affordable. Given that we are in an inflation. I was expecting my bill to come at a ridiculous price but it was very fair. I enjoyed my lunch very much. I'll be coming back with family and friends. read more

Food absolutely amazing. I found this place by accident when visiting Kessler and haven't looked back since. Empanadas just how I like them and Cavatelli and Broccoli so savory... I have tried others and come back to this one... Highly recommend read more

I needed to pick up some pizza for game night, and my friend lives in Saddle Brook around the corner from this spot, and whenever we do bring in pizza it isn't good, so I figured I would check it out. I have heard a ton of positive things about their food and pizza, so I was looking forward to what would hopefully be a good slice. I was not disappointed, the crust was nice an thin, sauce was sweet, and they put the right amount of cheese on the pie. I have to come back to try some of the other food, because it looked good. read more

Mario's Saddle Brook Pizza - Plain cheese, couldn't wait to take a bite lol - Pizza Near Me - Saddle Brook, New Jersey

As a New York-born Italian-American retired chef, pizza is important to me. It's also important to the folks at Mario's. They do a great job. This excellence extends to their sandwiches, calamari, and eggplant parm. That's all we've tried so far so I can't vouch for any of the other items on the menu but I am sure that the care manifested in our dinner will extend to the rest of the menu. A word about the service: tremendous! From the gentleman taking our order (no impersonal and inflexible, grubhub-driven internet process here) to the young lady delivering our order, everyone was courteous, helpful, enthusiastic and eager to please. This place is a peaceful refuge from an often brutish and lackadaisical world. Mario, keep on doing like you do! read more

There is an actual Mario and he is a great guy. The food is excellent and the place is super clean. I go there for lunch fairly often as it is near my office. read more

Overpriced for what it is. $27 for large pizza with some chicken and onion on it. It's good but at the end of the day it's a pizza.

Excellent food, owner extremely nice, would highly recommend this place to anyone, has become a go to lunch spot where I know I will see a friendly face every time. read more

Went in today for a slice of Pizza, I was out doing errands in Saddle Brook and after seeing the Yelp reviews i made the decision to eat there. Pizza was thin and crusty, since it was thin their wasn't a lot of sauce or cheese but it was just right. i love the crunchiness it had.The taste was good and the Empanadas (beef) were amazing. Great customer service and the owner is probably the coolest guy i've met who runs a pizza place haha so generous and always came up to me to make sure everything was ok. Definitely coming back!!! read more

Mario's Saddle Brook Pizza - Enormous Hamberger!!!!!!! Awesome, the Best!!! - Pizza Near Me - Saddle Brook, New Jersey

I've been wanting to try this place because it's been there for so long and I'm glad I did. They were closing soon but they still took my order and were quite polite. The pizza was authentic and the spinach empanada was delicious. The calamari was fresh and not chewy at all. I definitely recommend. read more

I wish I could give them an exact 4.5 stars. Well, their empanadas are off the hook! Not super doughy and with the perfect amount of meat, sometimes it's a little too much meat but with a carnivore like me I am not complaining. I never dined in until recently, they are super attentive and all I could say was wow wow WOW! Extremely accommodating we ordered some appetizers and a chicken francese, delicious!!! We will be definitely be coming back! read more

I've ordered lunch from this restaurant a few times and I have to say that I've never been disappointed. The food is not only amazing and very tasty but the customer service is out of this world. The owner makes everyone feel special and welcomed. I've tried their Pizza, empanadas, salads and next time I will be aiming for dessert. This is a great Twist on Italian / Argentinian food! If you are in the Elmwood Park area I would definitely advise that you come visit this fine establishment! read more

Was in the mood for a good soup a few weeks back and found this place and can say I've officially tried all of them , amazing . They also have great empanadas , service is great and they are fairly priced . Make your trip you won't be disappointed read more

Delicious everything. From wraps to pizzas to Lomo sandwich or platter. Empanadas are awesome as well. Staff is great, Efficient mostly but could be long waits because it's the only decent place in saddle brook. read more

Such a friendly staff and the food just as good. Perfect combo. This restaurant is really my favorite lunch spot near work!

Since moving to NJ from Chicago, I've really missed pizza take-out. Based on the yelp reviews, we ordered a pizza last week. We stuck with cheese... it's a great baseline to judge a pizza. Unfortunately, it wasn't a 5 star or even a 4 star pizza. It was ok but nothing to write home about. And certainly not worth ordering again. It's really a shame too because they're the closest pizza place to us. read more

This is my favorite pizza place! Any topping any pizza is phenomenal! Reasonably priced and the staff is so nice!

Ordered a Sicilian pie half with pepperoni and dessert. The pie was great, definitely in my top 3 list for go to pizza. Also order cheesecake and tiramisu both were pretty pretty dry and probably should have passed on serving it. I was kind of disappointed since the pie was so good. read more
