I love Pizza Napolitana and I love going to 'the top' pizzerias in Sydney. It's surprising that Pizza Mario made it into the 'Top Three' in Sydney, especially when the prices are so high and the quality of the pizzas isn't all that grand.

The atmosphere in Pizza Mario is fun, loud, but a little ritzy for a Pizzeria. It's table upon table, with little breathing space, and a guarantee for accidentally hitting someone, stepping on their toes or squashing them into their table while you open your chair to get into yours. Cozy wouldn't be the right word to describe it! The service is interesting. It's very casual, and not even up to a standard trattoria's. The prices are not reflected in the service, although the staff are funny and flamboyant.

The food. Hmmm. After becoming quite excited at seeing croquettes on the menu, I ordered them post haste, and eagerly awaited their arrival. What a waste of money! The croquettes were probably store bought, as they were still frozen in the middle, plus there was no taste to them whatsoever (really). After a disappointing start I moved my hopes into the pizza. Grand sigh. My hopes were once again misplaced. The pizzas were good, but nothing special. You would think with the prices that you would be getting quality ingredients, but instead it was average. Very average.

The dough, however, was yummy. It's not my favourite pizza dough, but it was good. In all honesty, I would have rather eaten elsewhere than pay that money, or instead pay the money and eat at somewhere else. Try it and see what you think, but there are much better pizzerias out there.

Ok this place shocked me, I've been here many times but my last visit was shocking. The pizza was raw and the service was sad, what happened? On top of all that, they are not even Italian! how they got the Pizza Vera tag really surprises me.

The pizza here is better than average, offering a wide range of unique toppings. However, they are slightly overpriced.

Great pizza and as traditional as it gets. Wood fired, with a great thin base.

Been here heaps of times and love the pizzas at this place, also the Calzone. The Calamari as entree are also fantastic. The staff are great and always remember us, if you love your pizza to be authentic then this is the place for you.

When you're looking for a quiet weekend dining experience to find another pizza place. Friday and Saturday night this place is full of kids who are very loud. The pizza here is better than average, offering a wide range of unique toppings. However, they are slightly overpriced.

This may not be the cheapest pizza, but it is certainly one of the best. The waiters are efficient but still fun and cheeky (and may I say, also very sexy.). The wait can be a little long sometimes, but you can always pop across the road to The Beresford for a drink. Their Salt Cod Salad is a particular favourite of my partner, and I love their gorgonzola pizza. Always a fun night out!

Had the Speck and Percino Pizza, toppings were good quality and very nice. Of course a pizza is all about the base, I like my base with a bit more crunch than the soft chewy bases at Marios but that's the Naples way. I thought $24 for a pizza that size was too much. Best pizza in Sydney ? not for me. (Moseley's la Bussola in Randwick get my pick) but pretty good will go again to try a tomato based pizza.

I cannot say enough great things about this place! The pizza is by far the best I have had since being in Italy. It’s authentic, fresh and I could eat there every single day of the week! They keep it simple and it works! The waiters are fabulous! I went there 4 times in the course of 1 month and every time the food was amazing, service fantastic! You may have to wait for a table occasionally but trust me it’s worth the wait!

Great food, we shared the croquets and a tomato and basil pizza. Delicious! The service was the only let down. I think a warm welcome, personable waiters and a "Thank you, have a good night goodnight" make up half of your visit to any restaurant. Our bill was placed on the table without any acknowledgement, taken away to be processed and dropped back as the waiter past the table.
