Big Mario's

Big Mario's New York Style Pizza
8/10 on the bangin' scale
Capitol Hill

A New Yorker, a New Jerseyite, and a Tennessean walk into a pizzeria in Seattle. No, it's not the start of a cheesy joke, it's the start of a deliciously cheesy meal.

Big Mario's has had a lot of hype. You know, it's the only true NY style pizzeria in Seattle, blah blah blah. Howevah, we found it did live up to many of our expectations.

Pros:
  1. NY-sized slices. (Big.)
  2. The pizza was medium thin, crispy, and not super greasy.
  3. They had a wide array of slices available  (maybe 6-8 different pies at 2:30pm on a Friday afternoon).
  4. They were playing 90s rap music.
  5. Full bar.
  6. Widescreen TVs for sports nerds.
Cons:
  1. The interior seating area is small (although it's perfect for off-peak times), so be prepared to take your slice and run.
Feast on this pizza with your eyes:
A Big Mario slice of pepperoni, tomato, and basil.

A slice topped with artichoke and mushrooms.

Red bell pepper, ham, and ricotta (?)
Now go feast on it forrealzies. $3.75 for each of these slices, $2.75 for plain cheese.
