Mario’s Pizza & Italian Eatery
Delicious pizza? Check. Freshly made Italian classics? Check. Free parking? Check? Delivery to the beach or hotel in season? You bet!
HIGHLIGHTS
WHERE IS IT? In Acme shopping
center, just steps to the mall.
WHY SHOULD I GO? It’s not just
good pizza — it’s excellent pizza, served
by the slice or as a whole pie. Glutenfree
pizza is also available. Plus salads
and pasta and French fries. When
the Fusco family bought Mario’s Pizza
in 2013, the decision was made to
change… nothing. If it ain’t broke, don’t
fix it. But you don’t have to take our
word for it — check out their 4.5 out of
5 ratings on TripAdvisor. Plus they have
been voted Best Pizza in the Best of
Cape May awards from 2016 onwards.
If you build your own dough and
pizza sauce in-house, they will come.
Mario’s also makes their own bread for
their paninis and their own scrumptious
garlic knots in-house, as well as their
cannolis, but we’re putting the dessert
cart before the pizza horse here. Their
best-selling pizza is the Margherita, but
there is also the regular thin crust, as
well as seven specialty and six gourmet
pies from which to choose. Don’t
forget calzones and stombolis. Plus,
pasta dinners included Shrimp Scampi,
Stuffed Shells, Chicken Marsala and
Eggplant Parmigiana.
This family-friendly place isn’t
just for take-out — it seats 48 inside,
and another 15 outside, with plenty
of parking. It’s a perfect spot for a
birthday party — and did we mention
catering? Office parties, showers...
Mario’s has it covered.
INSIDER TIP You can enjoy whole
wheat or even gluten-free pasta here.
In season, Mario’s will deliver to your
hotel room or even the beach.
Awesome Fries
Smothered in mozzarella
and bacon, served with
ranch dressing for dipping.
Oven-Baked Specialties

Margherita Pizza
Mario’s top seller — four

olive oil.
Kids’ Menu
Hot dog, spaghetti and
meatball, chicken tenders,
grilled cheese — plenty to
choose from to keep the
wee ones happy here.
Cheese Steaks
The hottest selling nonpizza
item here is the
cheese steak, and we’re
here to tell you — it’s
good enough to satisfy
the toughest Philly native
critic.
Salads
Fret not if you’re watching
your carbs — the salads
here are varied and
hearty, from Garden to
Buffalo Chicken to an
Antipasto for Two.
