Why East Orlando Pizza Lovers Keep Coming Back to Curry Ford Road

If you live in East Orlando — Rio Pinar, Azalea Park, Conway, Ventura, or anywhere along the Curry Ford corridor — you've probably driven past Mario's Pizza & Subs more times than you can count. Maybe you've stopped in. Maybe you've been coming for years. Either way, there's a reason this stretch of Curry Ford Road has been home to one of Orlando's most consistent neighborhood pizza spots since 1989.

What "Neighborhood Pizza" Actually Means

The phrase gets thrown around a lot, but it means something specific at Mario's. It means the staff recognizes regulars. It means the menu has stayed true to what works — hand-stretched dough, fresh sauce, quality toppings — without chasing every food trend that comes through. It means when you call in an order, you're talking to someone who actually works in the kitchen, not a call center routing your order through three systems.

East Orlando is a community, not just a zip code. The people who live here have options, and they keep choosing Mario's. That's not an accident.

The Menu: What to Order

If you're new to Mario's, here's where to start:

Crown Pizza — our signature. The crust is stuffed with garlic knots, which means every bite of the edge is as good as the center. Available in classic and vegan versions. If you've never had it, this is the order.

Girlfriend Specialty Pizza — a lighter, more herb-forward build that's become a favorite for customers who want something a little different from a traditional red-sauce pie.

Garlic Knots — order them as a side. They're made from the same dough as the Crown crust, baked fresh, and served with marinara. Simple and exactly right.

Subs — the pizza gets most of the attention, but the subs are worth your time. The Philly cheesesteak is a regular order for a lot of our lunch customers.

Wings — if you're feeding a group, add wings. They're a reliable complement to any pizza order.
