Amazing one of the best 4 cheese pizzas I’ve ever had, Lily our waitress was lovely and managed to find us a table on a super busy evening. Good value, cash only and no licence so bring a bottle if you want a drink. We'll be back.

We went to dine to Da Mario after someone in our hotel suggested it, Never again! Staff is super rude, not a smile! We waited 20 minutes or so only for the menu, people that came after us was served before us, pizza was burned completely underneath, we ordered a drink but it was never delivered because the waitress forgot ( but she remembered to add it in the bill). No alcohol licence but charge people £4 for bringing their own bottle of wine it's a rip off. The bill's total was scribbled on a piece of paper and the cherry on the cake is that they don't accept cards payment.

Amazing pizza restaurant. Top quality service offering the best pizza's. No licence so bring your own drinks and reasonable corkage charged. Please note cash only when we visted. Plus make sure you book to avoid dissapointment. The hand made pizza's were made with true skill and best I have ever had, outside of italy

Great, authentic Italian pizza. Service is ok depending on the staff, I am sure it gets busy and stressful at the the restaurant but customer is king ;-) Atmosphere is cosy and there is seating outside. Prices are a little high for pizza. However I would recommend this place to eat in or takeaway.

Was planning to buy Pintoh Thong Thai but couldn’t wait for the opening and 1 of my fav. Anyway couldn’t be bothered to walk to Koh Thai as I was sleepy. Th pizza is that good that I was woken up and enjoyed it with a good cold Asahi beer. The leafy salad was just as good. No cutleries for take away which was the only downside as I was staying in the nearby Premier Inn.

After finding our hotel had no tables left for evening meal and not wanting to drive, we googled local restaurants and Da Mario was less than 5 mins walk from hotel. Da Mario is off the tourist track, which meant it was very busy with locals celebrating special occasions - always a good sign! It was busy so they asked to wait for a table. We were sat within approximately 10 minutes. It's very small inside so we were originally seated next a big birthday party then after a few minutes moved to a another table not so near the party. Menu is limited to pizzas for mains, rather than an array of other Italian dishes. However, the kitchen is small so not much room for other options and why deviate from what you're good at?! The pizzas were very good, with generous toppings and crispy bottoms (no-one wants a soggy bottom!). In summary, an excellent, independent, local pizzeria which is well worth a visit. Please note, no alcohol licence but you can bring your own for a corkage fee and also cash only.

I ordered a take away pizza via UberEats. Came to collect while walking my dog. Went inside to ask if my order was ready, the waitress gave me the most ‘annoying’ face expression because I had my dog with me. I walked out as o wasn’t welcomed at all nice. When the waitress came outside to ask me what I wanted, she did sound rude. Not what you expect from a place that has got lots of good reviews. Working myself in hospitality I understand how important to be customer service oriented. Pizza was delicious. Service - not impressed!

Ordered last night on deliveroo, order took well over an hour and both pizzas arrived stone cold, the driver dropped our dip on the floor as well to top it off. Luckily got a full refund. Given 4 stars because all of the other times we have ordered the pizza has been great and we’ve enjoyed it. Supposedly the best in the area. Not sure what happened last night but I’d recommend eating in when the pizza is hot and fresh rather than delivering.

A small inauspicious restaurant from the outside, that makes homemade pizzas & just lasagna as an option (if you don’t like pizza) You need to prebook as it’s quite small inside. I was part of a large group. Pizza’s were all a good size & tasty. Mine somehow ended up with a double helping of parmesan cheese which made the flavour far too strong. Things you need to know; They only take cash 💁‍♀️ You can take your own booze, a small corkage free applies.

I've never encountered such an unloved prepared pizza in my life. 2 little pieces of buffalo mozzarella, 1 ham, 3 pieces of salami, normal mozzarella and 1 leaf of Basil and for this I paid 18.90£ (GF base alone they charge 3.95). Ordered via deliveroo. Taste was okay, a bit oily/greasy though the pizza in comparison to other pizzas. Definitely not the best pizza I ever had and price vs quality wasn't worth to order from here again. It's a shame because I thought this is a good restaurant.

This is a small family run restaurant, that mainly does takeaways. A good quality dough is produced and base. However, the quality of ingredients at times leaves something to be desired, the olives were very poor. I also think more attention needs to be paid to how even the ingredients are spread on the pizza. Overall this is a good pizza and better than chain restaurants, however it can do better and should be more ambitious.
