Mario's Woodfired Neapolitan Pizza & Pasta

Known for their Neapolitan style Pizza and here for at least 30 years, that’s exactly what I ordered. My favorite type of pizza is New York style pizza. The Italian side of my family in the generation before me, all grew up off Arthur Avenue. So Full Moon Pizza is my home base. Generation before that was from Naples, though I rarely ate Neapolitan style pizza by comparison. All that preamble is to say, Neapolitan style pizza is my third most eaten style of pizza. And Mario’s Neapolitan is done solidly. It’s got the puffy, perfectly done crust where it’s charred but not too much for this style. It’s not floppy. Sauce? Was tasty enough though I could not tell absolutely that they use San Marzano tomatoes. They don’t state that they do. So I assume the don’t. I’d wish they put more basil on it. Cheese? Ditto. I wonder where they get theirs. It’s good enough. And theirs Extra Virgin Olive Oil drizzled and, if I read the menu right, also parmigiana reggiano on it. Overall, I think this is solidly done Neapolitan style. And if that’s what you’re looking for in this area, you should come here. I would come back to try the other pies, as I’m often enough in and out of Mahopac. But I also think you can find spots that are as good not that far away (within 20 miles).
