Mario & Salvo's Pizzeria

Stopped in for another fantastic meal. I had a sausage sub with onions and peppers. The staff was extremely efficient and professional. Rated the best pizza in Syracuse NY. I've gotten items plenty of times prior and every time it was spot on.

Mario&Silvas is truly a destination spot.I stopped in today and the people at Mario and Salvos couldn’t be any nicer and more professional. Mario was there and gave me a very big hello. I believe it was his manager who took my order was so very patient with all the people that came in to pick up orders and also to put orders in. I ordered their meatball sandwich, which I have to tell you was spot on, the best meatball sandwich that I’ve eaten in the country. Period. Yes, I did say country, not county, as I’ve traveled extensively and have gone to countless number of pizza places through this great nation of ours. The bread was soft, I get my meatball sandwich not toasted, and the sauce was as my mother used to make it (as Gus has told me who’s Mario’s brother that the sauce is an old recipe from Mario and Gus’s grandmother) was so very rich and vibrant in its appearance. Last, but certainly not least was the girl who is Mario’s niece, prepared my meatball sandwich. A big shout out to her, thank you! No one couldn’t have done a better job of how the meatballs were in the sandwich with the right amount of sauce, the right amount of parmesan, I always get parmesan instead of mozzarella.The presentation on the plate was as if it was photoshopped to the 10th. Please make this place a go to spot for you and your family. Enjoy!

Great classic slice of pie, been going for years.

It's an unassuming small shop, with 70s-80s style seating. The decor is very low-key, not overwhelming, and simplistic. The atmosphere is calm...you've walked into another time zone. The folks who work there are actually Italian, and you can watch them working on the dough. Even the cash register on the front counter is frozen in time. The pizza is hot and fresh. More importantly, it doesn't give you GI problems like most pizza joints do. I don't know what ingredients they're using, but they're clearly top tier. A visit to Mario and Salvo's is a sacred experience that is not to be missed.

If you’re searching for an authentic New York-style pizza experience outside the five boroughs, look no further than Mario & Salvo’s. This place absolutely nails what makes a proper NYC pie—thin, foldable crust with just the right amount of crisp, a perfect balance of tangy-yet-slightly-sweet sauce, and a generous layer of high-quality cheese that bubbles and browns just the way it should. Every bite transports you straight to a classic New York pizzeria. The crust has that ideal chew with a slight char, proving they know how to handle their dough. The sauce isn’t overpowered by herbs or sugar—just a clean, fresh tomato flavor that complements the cheese beautifully. And speaking of cheese, they don’t skimp. It melts into the sauce with that signature stretch you expect from a legit slice. Beyond the pizza, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and no-frills—exactly how a great pizza joint should be. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or taking home a full pie, Mario & Salvo’s will have you questioning whether you ever need to trek to NYC for pizza again. A must-try for any pizza lover!

Best pizza in Syracuse! Try the Sicilian- it’s a square pizza with red sauce. The crust is thick and crispy and every slice is loaded with cheese.

I ordered pizzas from there for my daughter’s birthday a few weeks back. I was able to pre-order the day before and pay on my card. They delivered the pizzas on time and helped me carry them into the venue. They made everything so easy and stress free and every guest, children and adults, raved about the pizza. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Stopped in to pick up lunch for Mother's Day while visiting my mom in the area. The pizza was amazing! On top of that the service was great and friendly! (Thank you for the cookie for my kid as well.) We will be back!
