This is the real deal. Fantastic, authentic pizza! We were made to feel right at home and welcomed by this family operated restaurant. The service was as great as the food. Will make sure our travels bring us back this way! Thanks for the hospitality Joe and Angelina!

In from out of town near the airport for a couple of days and found this absolute amazing spot for a great meal. Truly at home Italian restaurant, great vibe, better food, even better service. If you are staying near EWR grab a quick Uber ride here and enjoy a great meal, not some chain you can get at home anyway.

This pizzeria is truly the best! Their wings are out of this world ,perfectly seasoned, crispy, and full of flavor. And the pizza? Absolutely amazing The crust, the cheese, everything is always fresh and delicious. It has become our go-to place, and we order from here every year for my daughters’ birthdays because we know it will always be perfect. The food never disappoints and the service is always friendly and reliable. Highly recommend!

Mario’s is the best Italian restaurant in New Jersey. They took care of us as family with the highest of service and quality of food.
Special thank you to Jose for always looking after our tables in the back and providing top notch service.
Giuseppe helped carry out our catering order, and Tatiana waited on our tables when we had 20+ people.
Use them for catering, sit down, takeout, as well as on a food contract. You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much.

Let me start by saying I already knew the food was delicious…my wife and I went for dinner last week and yes, make no mistake, this is a pizzeria, but hidden in the back is a cozy dining room in which we both had an amazing meal! Angelina was our server, she was sweet and super attentive! Everything from our appetizer to our dinner to dessert was fantastic! A great hidden gem!

I think anyone growing up in Elizabeth knew how the good the pizza is @ Mario’s Famous down the port . This place has been there over 30yrs and is still one of the best in the area . THAT’S A GIVEN . THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT MORE THAN THAT . I RECENTLY WENT IN ON A FRIDAY Night for a dine-in experience that my wife and I are still talking about . Tucked in back you’ll find a small dining room. THE OWNER JOE ON Friday Nights is in full CHEF mode . We did not order from the menu and allowed him to curate 5 courses after some quick discussion of our likes . WOW! Is an understatement. The food made to order, the ingredients fresh, the passion and love that went into the dishes came through in the taste . The experience was top notch . So grab your bottle of wine . This is a must try . You will not be disappointed.

We were on our way to Virginia from Boston and really wanted good pizza. Mario’s Famous Pizza definitely delivered. We got a slice of the margarita pizza and Buffalo and pepperoni. We also got garlic knots with marinara sauce. The shop is located across the street from a beautiful pier by the water and we were able to eat outside! It was lovely. The food was amazing!

This place is amazing, I’m not big on Italian food, but the second we walked in, Joe treated us like family. He customized my food order to make it spicy and made our visit special.
The food was amazing, and the price was reasonable.
Try the bruschetta you will not be disappointed.

Impressed with the wide menu selections and quality of food. Although it is small for eat in, they do a remarkable take out business located right off the Elizabethport pier. We ate in their dining area and were a party of 5 adults. The antipasto platter and bruschetta were outstanding and creative. Each entree was very big and took half hone. Above all, Angelina, our waitress/server, was very professional and never jotted down the order which each person tweeked something and she repeated it perfectly and when served, it was exact. That’s what I call a superb waitress!
