Mario The Baker

Been going here for 20 years- one bite, everybody knows the rules

Very good but they burnt the crust

Just very basic pizza. Kind of doughy. Kind of bland. Kind of sucked. I tell you though it’s better than the veal parm wedge i ate. Tasted like pure chemicals. I would have given that a 3.2 if that existed. Definitely not a destination spot.

Since 1970. Basically right across the street from Sorrento Pizzeria (1989), which I loved. And the vibe of Mario the Baker is old school, it’s a sit down restaurant and even buffet place on Sunday’s. Suggested you tip a bit even when you eat in for just a slice. Mini cannoli $1. On to the pizza…it’s pretty good. Main complaint I had was with the soupy/greasiness of the cheese. Other than that, crust was well done, thin, perfectly balanced between crunchy and airy, end crust was small, which I like. Sauce was tangy not sweet. Not pasty or chunky but not loose of light. I also had Bronx House and T’s and this was better than either. I don’t like bar pie or Greek, so I'm probably not going to Hope Pizza, Colony, or Riko’s. I like the variety of pizza in Stamford But I feel it should have New Haven style pizza because Greek, Bar Pie, and Specialty Pie joints seem to be the most interesting places, then you got your pick of which NY style places you think are the best. Can't wait for Sally's to open here.

7.4 out the door. great char on the crust. could’ve used less cheese.

Fantastic sauce!

Okay taste. Needs more sauce

Great pizza. Super thin crust with a nice crunch. Little flop, and oily on top, but solid sauce and cheese. Very well done

Little greasy but pizza stays together. Really good, crispy but also chewy. Best of both worlds.

Solid high ridge pie

Consistent neighborhood NY/CT style pie.

Very good slice delicious crust and sauce. Definitely one of my top places in Stamford. #onebiteeveryoneknowstherules🍕👍

Great ny style pie. Perfect cheese and sauce - reminded me of the pizzerias I grew up with in the Bronx. Thin crust, a bit on dry side. Still overall great pie in Stamford. Also had the white pie with broccoli and garlic - 7.8 on that pie. Great balance of cheese and toppings but the crust lacked the buttery flavor of places like Pepe’s in New Haven that nail that type of pie.

Solid slice!
