NOT IMPRESSED...
by miayayo
May 05, 2006
I took a visit to Mario the baker after reading the reviews on City Search . The restaurant's facilities itself are just your average mom and pop pizza store design. The service , mediocre at best. The food was not impressive at all. In the restaurant you see alot awards and accolades which this place has received, I just didn't see what merits such awards here. The food (baked ziti) was generic in taste and design. The famed " garlic rolls' ? More like semi-stale bread knots , dripping ( literally!!!) with an oil / garlic / parm cheese syrup which will drip all over your clothes if your not careful. Overall : NOT IMPRESSED .
- Pros: Italian Food, Quick service
- Cons: Rude Service, Food

We love Mario the Baker! It's a great place to go for a delicious and reasonable meal with real home cooking. My favorites are the garlic rolls and the eggplant parmagine.
Tolerable.

There was nothing there that I would call superior, but they committed no major mistakes, either. I had a pepperoni pizza, and the cheese, the toppings, the sauce, the crust, were all nondescript. The service was indifferent, despite the restaurant being half-empty.
I do remember it being affordable, but I'm used to paying a quality price for a quality pizza. You can do better if you care to.
- Pros: Cheap.
- Cons: Cheap.

I highly recommend it i think its the best pizza theres is in Miami. The place is very causal, the people treat you with kindness.
You'll feel like you're on Mulberry Street at this old-time North Miami landmark.

In Short
For more than 30 years, this low-key family pizzeria has been turning out hot, thin-crust, New York-style pizzas topped with high-quality toppings. These days the neighborhood has changed, but the outstanding pizza hasn't. The staff is friendly and used to dealing with loyal regulars who come for the cheap and tasty dishes. In addition to pizza, options include southern Italian specialties like veal parmigiana, meatball heros, baked ziti, lasagna and doughy garlic rolls.

The food is undercooked, flavorless and all around a waste of $$. I have been a few times and will NEVER go back
- Pros: None
- Cons: Food, food and the food

I have been going to this place for years. The food is delicious. My favorite is Baked Ziti which is cooked on a metal dish in the oven and then given to you right from the oven. It'll be steaming.
The garlic rolls are sooo good you'll come back just for that.
The price is very reasonable. It is child friendly. The weekends get real busy so try to get there early!
NO TIME FOR FAST FOOD(unless its MARIO'S)

I eat lunch at the downtown location often. I work at fedex and our agents order delivery almost every day. Of course downtown your not limited to where you can eat. The quantity is high. The problem is the quality. Although the location isn't great on the outside ( HELLO IT IS DOWNTOWN MIAMI) the inside is very clean and the workers are great. They all make me feel like im apart of the family.( YOU WON'T SEE TWO CO-WORKERS FIGHTING OVER WHO WILL SERVE YOU) I LOVE THIS PLACE ( not to mention when i only have 5 dollars for lunch i can get 2 slices of pie and a soda!)
- Pros: inexpensive, great service, made my way (fast)
- Cons: parking, location(downtown), small seating area

They've been in North Miami for over 30 years. Their Garlic rolls are to die for! They have good Italian food thats very reasonably priced. Friday nights are always busy. They have a spacious interior for dining in or you can call in for quick take out service. They also have plenty of parking.
NYC-approved pizza

You might want to lock the car doors on your way there, but after tasting the pizza you'll be smiling. Although the large pie we picked up lacked in size (13" dia.) we were very pleased with the gelling of hot thin crust, gooey moz and tangy gravy- though onions were sparse and carelessly tossed. Garlic knots resembled pastry puffs topped with excessive dried parsley - didn't find the gem here. Spaghetti and ravioli were al Dante (gummy) but the sauce saved them. And a spicy meatball! Good prices, savor the pies.
- Pros: sauce & crust, price, service
- Cons: , neighborhood, no delivery
