Description: It all started back in 1967 when Sicilian born Giovanni Smecca decided to move to Galveston, Texas from Patterson, New Jersey after hearing Glen Campbell’s famous “Galveston” during a card game. Giovanni always dreamed of being a professional fisherman, so he decided to give it a shot and made the drive to Galveston. After battles of sea sickness, Giovanni quickly decided that the fish business wasn’t for him.Heartbroken, Giovanni was about to move back to New Jersey when he met Mario Bonaccorso who was trying to open a pizzeria. The two became great friends, and together, these two young Italian entrepreneurs started Mario’s Flying Pizza and brought the “pizza pie” to Galveston Island.Today, we are still family owned and operated and are considered a delightful, neighborhood restaurant with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We serve a wide variety of Italian cuisine and New York style pizza and strive to use fresh, seasonal, ingredients wherever possible, so come on in, sit back, relax, and enjoy a wonderful meal and a nice glass of wine at Mario’s Ristorante!

We came in on Saturday Night, June 16th 2018. Our server told me his name twice and I did everything I could to remember it to no avail. It was a unique name. I tried to remember because he did an awesome job. We were a party of 10 on a Saturday Night and it didn’t phase him. More so we were a party with 6 kids. He was on point with getting the all important refills. Very friendly from the time we walked in, and continued all the way thru us leaving. The food was good and the pizzas really hit the spot. I would give 5, but the pizzas were just good. Not exceptional. I will be back, the food wasn’t bad, it just didn’t stand out. The service though was perfect. I really wish I could remember his name. Someone needs to recognize that he did a great job. I’ve been in this business for 20+ yard and those servers are few and far between. Thank you Corbin (I am taking a stab here). Made it a great night.

Ordered the Carnivore pizza to go. Staff was friendly and my order was ready. The pizza was very good-not great. I would order from them again.

As always, very good food. This time the difference was the hostess Jewel (unsure of spelling). She was entertaining, funny, sassy and friendly!

Ordered a couple of pizzas to pick up for dinner. We had the Carnivore pizza with several different meats and the Mad Greek pizza, with olives feta cheese, spinach and onions. Both were delicious! Also picked up the tiramisu, chocolate explosion and strawberry pineapple cake for dessert. We loved them all!
