Mario’s Pizza & Grill

Always fabulous pizza! Veggies are so fresh and the cheese is delicious. We always get garlic on our pizza which makes it even better. Two mediums is always plenty to feed a family of 4 with leftovers.

I loved this place. Great menu. Much more than just pizza. The pizza is the best in Farragut hands down.

This place barely got 2 stars… It’s been around for quite some time, in a great location right on Kingston Pike– so I assumed it had to serve great food and be a popular joint to hang out in, however todays experience left me wondering how in the world it manages to stay in business.
To start with, it’s a dine in pizza place. Dine in typically means you can buy by the slice, however not here. And that was a huge let down. Next, I decided to order the nachos. They had regular nachos for 3.99 with cheese, salsa, and sour cream or supreme nachos for 5.99 with cheese, salsa, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, onions, beans, and olives. (see photos). I ordered the regular nachos, and asked him to add olives– instead, he rang up the nacho supreme, and removed the lettuce, tomato, onions, and beans– ultimately charging me TWO dollars more. For olives. I can buy 3 cans of my own olives at the supermarket for that. I also ordered mozzarella sticks, and a fountain soda to go with it.
Fast forward to the serve your own soda, and there is absolutely no ice. He said he would need to take my cup in the back for ice. Um, no.
Then 10 minutes later the food comes out. It’s the cheapest tortilla chips (the round ones you get at a community baseball field) with melted cheese, a plastic container of salsa, and a plastic container of sourcream. He then realizes the olives are missing. Takes it back, must throw on a handful of olives, brings it back. Which I’m then told my nacho cheese is in the microwave and will be out in a few minutes. Since when are nachos served like this? They should be crisp fresh chips, with hot bubbly nacho cheese poured over them, topped with fresh salsa, and a glob of sour cream in the middle. This was melted on shredded cheese which as you know makes 75 chips now turn in to 1 hard extra large chip, and olives thrown on top. For $ 5.99?
The mozzarella sticks were their only saving grace. They were larger, and completely packed with cheese that was cooked perfectly. They? Were worth the price. My entire meal though, bricks of nachos with no real substance, coke without ice, and the mozzarella sticks should have cost me about $ 7 for it’s worth, instead it cost me more than double that price at $ 15…
I’d personally rather endure chuck e cheese or gatti’s over this next time.
