Mario’s Pizzeria

Italian | Ocean City, NJ | $$$$

1510 Bay Ave, Ocean City, NJ 08226


Overview

Mario's has been a family-run Italian restaurant at 1510 Bay Avenue since 1977, on the bay side of Ocean City a few blocks from the boardwalk. The menu is the red-sauce canon: pizza by the pie, meatball subs and chicken cheesesteaks, lasagna, lobster ravioli in vodka sauce, chicken and eggplant parm and a seafood pescatore over pasta, with lunch entree specials and a rotating dinner special every night but Monday. A two-page vegan menu, vegan sausage pizza included, is a rarity on the island, and gelato pints go home with the leftovers. The room is cozy and built for family meals, with delivery and takeout for porch nights. Closed Mondays.
