OUR MENU

Pizza is without a doubt one of the most versatile foods available today. At Big Mario’s, pizza is taken to a whole new level while still holding to great tradition. The pizza base is prepared using traditional methods handed down through the generations. These methods were learned by founder Mario Velloti as he worked in some of the best of Hell’s kitchens in New York before coming to Seattle to establish Big Mario’s Pizza.

While Big Mario’s holds to tradition, the menu shows a great deal of innovation with a wide range of options available. Traditional toppings such as pepperoni are available alongside non-traditional options to cater to different preferences and needs such as vegan and vegetarian options. For example, the Dude is a popular vegetarian option that features toppings including jalapenos, ricotta, pineapples, and mozzarella all on top of the house red sauce. This is the perfect alternative to the widely loved Hawaiian pizza. The Williamsburg pizza is a vegetarian option bursting with flavor. This pizza is topped with rosemary potatoes, goat cheese, pepperoncini, mushrooms, mozzarella, and of course the house red sauce. The pizza is both filling and flavorful.

If you’re looking for something unique, try building your pizza. This route allows you to select everything from the pizza base to the toppings. You can create a pizza that is unique to suit your preferences.
