Recently discovered Mario the Baker, and since then I am a huge fan. Their pizza is fresh, delicious and a good price. I have ordered from them about 3 times in the past month. I have no complaints and the pizza really is incredibly good. Would definitely recommend!

The pizza had a thick crust, enough cheese, but was too salty. A medium pizza should be enough for two otherwise is too expensive for one. We also had the tiramisu which was subpar. I could not taste the coffee or the hazelnut liqueur, it was kind of bland.

We eat at Mario's every time we are in the Coral Gables, South Miami area. The small restaurant in a shopping center at the corner of Bird Rd. and Red Rd. would be easily overlooked if locals had not recommended the food. The food is simple, straight-forward Italian cuisine with marvelous flavors and preparation. Probably the best value food in... More

Go here every visit to Miami. Staff is wonderful and food is always excellent. I wonder if any bad review was written by someone who eats deep dish pizza?

I visited the location on 8565 Southwest 24th Street Miami, FL 33155‎ near Walmart. I had never eaten here before & decided to give it a try. The workers are very friendly, sweet, & nice people but I have to be honest. The food was bad & very unappetizing. I had a baked eggplant parmigiana pasta dish. The eggplant looked... More

We live in the downtown, Miami area and frequent this restuarant quite a bit. Good pizza for the price and very pleasant service. Great lunch special 2 slices of pizza and a drink for less than $6. The garlic rolls are legendary!

If you're not fussy about Italian food, you'll be fine. However, if you enjoy good Italian food this is not the place for you. The sauce tastes canned without the flavor. Meatballs hard, salad not very fresh, the rolls soggy.

The saugage and peppers was adsolutely nasty. Looked and tasted like it was freezed dried for a year before reheating. My stomach still turning. So... More

We ordered the Mario The Baker Special Pizza, for delivery tonight. The special comes with Pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions and green peppers. The crust was very tasty and not greasy. The pizza was a bit on the spicy side, but very good. They put down the sauce first then followed by the ingredients and then the cheese. Overall a very... More

For pizza, lasagna, and other Italian favorites, you can count on this friendly restaurant in the Red Bird Shopping Plaza.
