My husband and I decided to order some dinner from Mario the Baker tonight. It's our very first time ordering from them. The delivery came about 20 minutes after we ordered it. That part was good. Then came the shock. We were looking forward to the garlic rolls that came with our cheese baked ziti and eggplant parm with spaghetti. They were a disappointment. Despite coming in one of those thermal paper bag, they were lukewarm, a lot closer to cold than warm. Then we cut into the baked ziti. First bite: sour and tasteless. Did they forget to put salt? The sauce tasted terrible. It was all watered down. Also, it wasn't hot. I was still hoping that the eggplant parm would turn out well. It didn't. Same tastelessness and watered down marinara sauce. What's worse, there was barely any eggplant. I'm convinced that they used a vegetable peeler to make eggplant shavings for their eggplant parm. I'll bet that if you held up one of these raw eggplant shavings, you'd be able to see through it and that it'd fly if you blew on it. Needless to say, we'll never order from them again.

Go here for mindnumbingly simple NY-style cheese pizza. Drippy cheesy thin crust pizza, meet with mouth, bite and chew. Repeat till slices are gone. Best take-out/lunch bargain in the midtown Miami area, Mario the Baker is a local establishment in this town. My coworkers order from here all the time and if you like New York-style pizza (thin crust, drippy cheese), you'll like Mario the Baker (cause it beats the fast-food pizza joints). Their 2 pizza slice/soda drink is a great bargain, like $5 under. Also, Mario the Baker is notorious for its super garlicky doughy rolls, caution, stink breath ahead!

This place probably has the greatest lasagna I've ever had. So crispy on the outside yet soft and cheesy on the inside. Perfect. They also have wonderful garlic knots, very respectable pizza, and a great array of pastas for your choosing.

We ordered the Monday special cheese with sausage, onions, mushrooms and green peppers--to take out. The crust was mushy in the middle but still crisp on the outside. The outside crust had good taste but there was little flavor in the sausage which I had believed would be spicier since it was purported to be homemade sausage. The pieces were cut very large and difficult to fold and eat. This was just a convenient place for us to get a meal. Nothing special for me as compared to my small town Minnesota pizzeria.

I had the garlic bread and a buffalo style pizza. It was awesome. Dominic greeted me and welcomed me to the area. I love the fact this business has been here for a long time and its family owned. Super great service, they deliver, stay open late and the price point is great.

A Groupon got my attention and I decided to eat in since this was the only location that was part of the promotion that offered this (plus I am not close to any of the delivery areas). While the Wynwood area is certainly up and coming, this location seemed to be located in an area that still has a ways to go. Many sketchy individuals seem to linger around the streets. One homeless women tried to get my attention while I walked into the restaurant and continued to look at me through the window for awhile - not exactly a comfortable dining experience. If you decided to eat in, there are 4 tables. One of the tables was occupied by one of the restaurants employees watching TV. From an ambience perspective its gets zero stars. Absolutely bare bones. The pizza was good, hence the 3 stars, but not so excellent to offset the overall horrible dining experience. However, I do realize that probably the majority of people order take-out or delivery - here is where you will need to judge yourself on how many stars you give the pizza since tastes do vary. I would avoiding dining in, however, unless you like roughing it :-)

I just order Mario the baker for the first time. Always saw at yelp and grub hub.. I order the baked chicken Alfredo and it was awesome!!!! It took less than 45 mins the delivery.. And it arrived hot and delicious! Now that i found a good Italian delivery, ill always order from the restaurant and try the rest of the menu. Thanks for the good food
(5)Patty K.
I used to like the pizza here. Now not so much. Not at all, actually. The chicken parm was neither chickens or parmy. Sauce was watery. The extra star is because they're nice here and the location is good.
(2)George K.
Called in and asked for specials. Was told 2 Medium with bread for 18.95$ so I preceded to order a Hawaiian and a Chicken Bacon Pizza based on YELP pictures. At this time the phone lady should have told me that the special was for CHEESE ONLY. All she said was, see you in 20 min. Once I arrived my bill was 30$. This may have put a bad taste in my mouth but I don't think the food is that great, its good but its basic. I ordered based on proximity but honestly Dominoes is a block away and i might toss my money that way next time. Pizza was ...Meh...
(2)Octavia Y.
This pizza is perfect! It reminds me of the classic pizza spot in Queens, NYC called "Margaritas Pizza". This pizzas star is what all pizzas star should be... The sauce and the cheese! I think it's so odd that ppl complain about the oiliness bc well.... That's what cheese gives off, lol. I didn't find it to be super oily but I did find it to be very flavorful. So good, I've been thinking about this place since the first time I tried it last year and it was EXACTLY the same.
(4)Ozzy M.
They moved used to be in Biscayne blvd about 5 blocks from this location. Still good pizza but I think it was better in their old location, much smaller place now more of a take out place. Will keep coming back

I found a Groupon for this place ($3 for 2 slices and a can of soda), so my wife and I decided to try it out on a trip to Miami. To start, the location is a bit tricky to navigate with narrow, crowded, and one-way streets. Parking can be a challenge, but it seems as though no curb is off limit (aside from hydrants and driveways of course). We were greeted by a very friendly staff and had out food fairly quickly. I took a quick look at the menu to check out the garlic rolls people have mentioned: $1 each or $4 for 6. I got the half dozen, which was way too much for the two of us - these are full sized dinner rolls smothered in oil and garlic. I'm more of fan of dry garlic in a butter spread, so these rolls weren't quite my thing, but add enough parm to soak up the oil and they were OK. The pizza slices were huge, as expected from a New York Style place. If you don't eacta lot, one slice is plenty for you. The two of us could have easily survived on 1 piece each, but we ate all four anyway. As for the taste it wasn't anything amazing - very little sauce and a lot of grease. It's sad that people think grease is what makes pizza taste good - they've obviously never tried it without. All in all, not a bad meal, especially with our Groupon.
(3)William P.
Not bad. No super great. I found the baskets they bring food out in a little odd. Pizza was good. It was crispy NY style. Nothing I'd make a special trip for. But well worth the money. Place was a little run down looking. But a lot of pizza joints look that way. So it fits.
(3)Aldo G.
A couple friends and I were in the mood for a greasy slice of pizza but I live in what I consider to be a pizza desert. The only options are high end fancy places with crazy pizza concoctions or low end chain pizza but nothing in between. We searched eagerly on yelp for something little farther away to meet our craving. We found this place, and since most us had eaten at other Mario the Baker pizza joints, we thought it would an solid choice. When we got to the restaurant we noticed the lack of decor. The place looked a little run down but I was fine with that as long the pizza was good. We started off our experience with an ordered the garlic cheese bread. It wasn't we were expecting. It was more of cheese calzone served with red sauce but that being said it was pretty good. Shortly after our pizza arrived and at the first bite we all couldn't help but notice the pizza had a weird taste. It was still edible it took away from the taste. Also there was a lot of pieces of burnt stuff from the oven. Overall the pizza disappointing almost sub par. We also ordered a Chicken Parmesan. The chicken was submerged in a pool of pasta sauce. It was basically a piece of chicken breast with pieces of soggy breading breaking off into a soup of sauce covered in mountain of cheese. The pasta that came with the chicken was cooked well but ironically enough didn't have enough sauce. I guess if you take the sauce from the chicken an put on the pasta it balances out. The garlic roll that came with the meal was probably the best thing about that entrée. It was greasy roll with a crunchy crust and a soft doughy interior. Overall, I would rate the food at this place as average. I've definitely had better pizza in Miami and from a Mario the Baker pizza place. I wouldn't be my first choice but it satisfied my craving for something better than chain pizza.

Ordered a "large"pizza that looked like a medium about two weeks ago and it gave me and my boyfriend a stomach ache. Too greasy and the garlic rolls were drenched in oil def not worth the $25 we paid.
(1)Sylvia M.
I would really give this place like 3.8, but I'm rounding up. I love the girl who works in the front. She's always given great service. As for the food, I do love the pizza here. Someone said it's not thin. In my opinion, it's really thin. The flavor definitely brings me home (New York ), but still not my first choice. I've had the garlic rolls (they're definitely rolls and not knots..I like knots..lol). The first time I had them they tasted like balls of dough. The second time they were way better. So consistent with the pizza, but not with the garlic rolls. The cheesy garlic bread, in my opinion, is garlicky, drippy, cheesy goodness!! Great for the munchies!! The chicken alfredo was fresh, hot, cheesy, great consistency...the only thing about this place that I realized is that they don't like to use a lot of salt which could be good or bad depending on your preference. To me, I like my salt cooked in, but it doesn't hurt to just add a little. The chicken bacon ranch was not impressive. Dont get it..no matter how good chicken bacon ranch sounds to you, don't do it. I've had way better. Now the chocolate mousse...yes.. yes, do it!!

3.5 rating. Last week I wanted something for lunch so I got on 24 eats to see what I could have delivered in my area. We have some great close by restaurants but not many deliver and at times it is hard to get out of the office. I came across this place and thought oh no I have ate there a very long time ago and was not impressed. Like many times I guess it was in what you order. As I was scanning the menu I saw that they have hot subs, oh yes the Capacolla and Provolone Sub sounded good to me. Great it was only $6 and I needed a minimum of $12 for it to be delivered. Oh look Pasta Fagioli soup, sure sub and soup, perfect. It took around 45 minutes for it to be delivered as stated. I open the sub and it was perfectly toasted and hot. The quality of the meat and cheese were good, and the bread was delish. This sandwich was so enjoyable, great for lunch. Fresh ingredients and flavorful. The soup was also excellent and a huge portion. I shared it with a coworker and we still had plenty left for another portion. The soup was again very good. What a nice surprise, it was a very good lunch.

This is right next to my job and great for when we want lunch delivered. The pizza is pretty good and the garlic rolls are dripping with garlic sauce (which I think is awesome.) The only problem I have is that this location is scary/dangerous/ghetto because if you have to go pick an order UP, there are usually homeless guys and crackheads hanging out in the same little shopping center which makes it really uncomfortable to walk by when you want to go INSIDE. But you should be good if you get an order delivered!
(3)Josh B.
I always order from them through Eat24. The pies are always consistent and they are the closest thing you can get to nyc pie near my house! I remember years ago at the original location the garlic rolls were the clam to fame and while they are still good they just aren't as amazing as they used to be. Overall I do enjoy the food here.

I've been coming to Mario the Baker for a while now, and I've never really thought the world of it. HOWEVER! Mario the Baker very much does provide a break from the national pizza chains that, while significantly cheaper, do get a bit stale after a while. I mean, come Friday, come Saturday, come Sunday -- a night in, college football, NFL -- it's always, "Which of the big three offers the best coupon?" Gets a little old. Mario the Baker offers a solid and wonderfully greasy mom-and-pop, walk-in-and-have-a-Coke-and-a-slice-style alternative. It almost reminds me of the pizza places my mother and I frequented when I was a kid, the kind that was as much about the arcade as it was about the pizza, the kind where you'd run from game to game with a pocket full of change while the order was being prepared. Mario the Baker doesn't quite achieve that, but the style of pizza is enough to fuel my nostalgia, and that beer is sold on site is the adult equivalent of Ms. Pac Man.
(3)Usker N.
Decent at best. As other reviewers have commented, the pizza is super oily and that's about it. Like most pizza places in this area, the dining area isn't very inviting, but it should be a reasonable option for takeout. I would rank it better than Pucci's but not as good as Mamma Caruso's.
(3)Krystle C.
Attempted to grab a bite to eat here since I bought a groupon for two slices and a soda and well...it didn't work out. Had to park in front of these characters that were gathered next to the restaurant. It didn't help that they were gawking and acting suspicious. They also seemed inebriated to say the least. Showed the girl at the front my groupon app along with the groupon which has the code and everything they need to redeem it and she and the manager wouldn't accept it. It's funny because I understand that Mario the Baker is a chain restaurant more or less but yet I used a groupon once for a haircut at some rinky dinky salon on Flagler and I did not have the physical copy like I usually don't. That salon simply recorded my full name along with the groupon code. It's not that hard. Fine, you didn't have the "technology" to record the groupon..ok...SO WRITE MY NAME DOWN THEN! Again, how hard can it be? Were you trying to make me look like an idiot? Was that your goal sweetheart? Please, get your restaurant out of the groupon site. You know what? On second thought I'm not even mad, I heard your pizza sucks anyway...thank goodness you denied my groupon. Getting a refund from groupon as I'm writing this!
(1)Frank C.
This is as close to a regular nyc pizza joint as your going to get in Miami. The setup is barebones, but the pies are decent. While you're at it, pay cash so the credit card fees don't eat our local businesses alive. Where else does $6 get you 2 mom and pop slices and a soda near midtown?
(4)William B.
My expectations were pretty low once I realized that we weren't talking about a REAL bakery-- just pizzas and baked pastas, but they still weren't met. The pasta tasted flat (was there any salt?) but edible after enough powdery cheese product, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes were added. The famous garlic rolls weren't much better. The oil was tasteless and somehow even the bitter garlic (by turns burnt and undercooked) didn't lend the dish very much flavor. My salad was pretty fresh, and the dressing was surprisingly ok (and even a little sharp), so that was nice, at least.
(2)Shannon M.
I love this chain. So happy I'm close to one! Goodbye diet!
(4)Karen F.
3 stars for the food, 4 stars for the greasy uber-garlicky garlic rolls that people stand on LINE to get. (They'd sometimes pass some out to people waiting in g the line for tables. My kid brother LOVED this place dfor pizza, pasta and more of those greasy-little garlic rolls. We came here alot in the '80's and '90's when our grandparents were still alive and living on Bay Harbor Island. Good times.

At one time, Mario the Baker was the only Pizza Place near the Design District. There are now several competing restaurants in both Midtown and the Design District.

Mario the Baker is a cheap and delicious lunch spot for those that work in and around midtown. The new location (at the corner of 25th St & Biscayne) is great - with a spacious, open dining area, and flat-screen tvs so you can catch up on news and sports while you eat. The new location is also more convenient for large groups, as there are many tables to be pushed together in the main dining area. The food is great too. The lunch special with 2 slices of pizza and a soda for under $6 can't be beat. The subs are very tasty too. The pasta and baked dishes are also very good, but sometimes need an extra kick of red pepper flakes or garlic salt. And speaking of garlic - the garlic rolls - covered in butter & pieces of garlic - are amazing! Be sure to order at least 2 for yourself - they're addictive! There's a free parking lot across the street (on 25th St). Well, it's not really a lot per se, but rather a little grassy area with fencing around it and signs that say "Parking for Mario the Baker."
(4)Maxine V.
It's ok. Nothing special. Just another average Italian restaurant.
(3)Alan R.
As a longtime patron to the original Mario the Baker, I was happy that the new location (closer to where we live) was not only nice, but the food as good as the original. Like the original, everything came out immediatly and burning hot! Great pizza and garlic rolls. I will be going back soon to check our the rest of the menu.
(5)Michelle S.
The blandest pizza and ravioli's I've ever eaten have been at Mario the Baker. The only tasty part of the meal were the oil drenched garlic which are probably the leading cause of heart attacks these days.
(2)Kat R.
Got a migraine every time I went there. It's always gross I have no idea why my coworkers would go there. They would always complain about the service and food after. There are other pizza places in the area that blow it away.
(1)Adriana D.
ah, good old Mario the Baker, never disappoints when you're looking for Italian comfort food in large portions. no, it's not gourmet or fancy pants, but its always tasty, plentiful, and inexpensive. I was always a big fan of the MTB on Bird Road, but we were in the area so we gave the Biscayne one a try and found it to be just like the other one (except newer and bigger). not everyone is a fan of MTB, depending on what you're expectations are, but I know what I'm looking for when I come here - tomato-ey cheesy goodness - and I always find it. the pizza is thin crust, loaded with cheese and whatever else tickles your fancy. the regular pasta dishes are good but not out of this world - but the baked pasta dishes have that extra something (cheese), that kicks up the yumminess. the garlic rolls are a bit on the oily side, but sprinkle on some grated parmesan and they are garlicky goodness. the staff at this MTB was very nice and very helpful. the pasta dish didn't come out right the first time and the manager came out, asked what he could do to make it right, apologized profusely, and gave us dessert. all in all this continues to be a reliable go-to place for a quick, cheap Italian fix.
(3)Linwood C.
Bottom-line: Mario the Baker has manageable Italian food at affordable prices and great delivery times. Good for your quick Italian Fix. What I ordered (Entree): Chicken Marsala and Spaghetti with Meat sauce. Chicken was a little overloaded on sauce the taste was okay. The serving size held true to most American restaurants by having enough for 2 people to eat, especially in terms of the spaghetti. Sides: Entrees come with a side of spaghetti and garlic rolls. The garlic roles smelled rich and are the talk of the town (read the rest of the reviews). If you like garlic, these rolls are loaded down with that and grease. Low Point: The serving sizes were a little large and the food is extra greasy. However, at the price this meets expectations. The Spaghetti with meat sauce had a funny after taste but that's just my personal opinion. High Point: Prices are reasonable and delivery times are great. They take credit cards over the phone and deliver to your door instead of your apartment complex lobby. Miscellaneous: I ordered delivery but I've seen inside the place as its right down the street. They have parking around the corner and the inside seems to have a nice feel. It's tastefully decorated for the location and looks clean. I would eat inside with no problems. Final Call: If you want a quick fix, don't want to spend a lot of money, and don't mind calories, its a nice deal for the Omni area.

If a deck of cards sounds like a tasty treat, this pizza is for you! I am not sure how they extracted the flavor from pepperoni and sausage, but it tasted like cardboard.
(1)RM K.
pizza taste ok.. not bad but not good.. better than domino/pizza hut..
(3)Bertha G.
I had delicious NY Style Cheese Pizza today! The Garlic Rolls are addicting with pieces of garlic and olive oil...Yummy!! The new location is super nice, an open kitchen and flat screens everywhere - was able to watch ESPN as I had my lunch. Oh....and they deliver to my building too!! Love it!
(4)B Lauren S.
Thank you for curing my hang over!! Just what I needed...Not bad, ordered for delivery.. Food portions were a pretty good size. Inexpensive, variety of food.. Nothing fancy and amazing, but overall not bad.. and, I'm feeling much better with their filling foods :)
(3)Sarah S.
Have only eaten delivery, so can't speak for the restaurant itself, but I think they have some of the best pizza in Miami. The not too thick, not too thin crust, good cheese, etc....I approve! With a lot of subpar pizza places around Miami, you would be wise to stick with Mario's.
(4)Stephanie B.
I order there on the regular my food. Let's say the food here is ok. It always depends on what you ordering. Very good is by the pastas the lasagne, but for example the backed ziti are not to enjoy. They are to moist and have a little sour taste. The waiting time, by delivery is always around one hour. That's also standard.
