Da Mario Wood Fired Pizza: Reviews & Ratings
First time eating here, the food was amazing! They don’t accept card payment, so ended up bank transferring..
Such an amazing find! The best pizza I have eaten out side of Italy, super friendly staff, and a chef who made a butterfly shaped pizza for my daughter. And if this wasn't enough, actual fresh homemade Italian desserts including Canoli. Totally in Heaven ! Thanks so much
The pizzas are delicious and by far the best one in town. Super friendly staff.
I’ve tried the UK’s best Brixton Franco Manca, Santa Maria, A Casa Mia, VIP Brighton, Pizzarova, Sodo, Rudy’s, Pizza Pilgrims, Napoli on the Road and Da Mario is right up there with them. The sourdough base is perfect, toppings spot on, and the tomato sauce (no garlic!) is exactly how it should be. Friendly, authentic service from Sam & Sem and the pizza chef made it feel genuinely special. Two visits in two nights, I’ll be back for sure.
Best. Pizza. Ever. Eaten! We got a takeaway for about 14 of us. It was super quick service for a huge order and all was warm when brought back! Base very thin so flops, easily can fold over though. Base is like naan bread, absolutely divine! Don't normally finish a pizza but scoffed the lot! Also had a tirimisu which was also delicious! Wish there were more in the south coast! Will have to come visit again!
Excellent local pizza : thin dough, huge size, quality ingredients. Tiramisu with a good coffee quick!
Without a doubt, the best pizza I've ever had, just delicious. Good choice of toppings and a pizza base to die for. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and staff were excellent, we'll definitely be back!
After finding our hotel had no tables left for evening meal and not wanting to drive, we googled local restaurants and Da Mario was less than 5 mins walk from hotel. Da Mario is off the tourist track, which meant it was very busy with locals celebrating special occasions - always a good sign! It was busy so they asked to wait for a table. We were sat within approximately 10 minutes. It's very small inside so we were originally seated next a big birthday party then after a few minutes moved to a another table not so near the party. Menu is limited to pizzas for mains, rather than an array of other Italian dishes. However, the kitchen is small so not much room for other options and why deviate from what you're good at?! The pizzas were very good, with generous toppings and crispy bottoms (no-one wants a soggy bottom!). In summary, an excellent, independent, local pizzeria which is well worth a visit. Please note, no alcohol licence but you can bring your own for a corkage fee and also cash only.
