Among the more unique choices of the 30 toppings are jalapeno, feta cheese, eggplant and artichoke heart.
Some of these items are utilized on Mario’s seven special pizzas.
The Heaven’s Choice has sliced turkey breast, Italian house dressing, sliced mushrooms and mozzarella cheese.
It is an unusual way to make a pizza, but the combination of Boar’s Head turkey breast and Italian dressing creates a fresh spin on an old, traditional dish.
The Mediterranean has eggplant that is sautéed in olive oil, caramelized onion, feta and mozzarella and a choice of balsamic dressing or pizza sauce.
While the pizzas are good they do not keep for long as we found out when we ordered a couple of slices. Rosa and I didn’t want a pizza, but a slice a piece to try the grilled chicken and Kona pizza.
The grilled chicken is chunks of chicken breast that are marinated in herbs and lemon juice then baked into the pie. The Kona is a variation on the Hawaiian pizza, but this one adds ham to the Canadian bacon and pineapple.
Both came to us lukewarm, and I had to send them back to get reheated.
My guess is they had been sitting in the warming display rack for a while because they tasted a little old.
The pepperoni pizza looked a little sickly, so I would get a fresh pizza next time.
We wanted a Greek salad, but again size was an issue. The salad was huge, and we were looking for a half order but they didn’t have one.
It’s a shame because we saw another customer’s salad and it looked really good.
There are several salads offered, including a grilled salmon and Santa Fe, but again no half orders are available.
We pressed on and went to the pasta. We shared the meat lasagna and were quite impressed. The beef sausage works with the ricotta and mozzarella. It is not sweet like Italian sausage and is not obtrusive.
