Welcome to Pizzeria Mariana

Welcome to Pizzeria Mariana
At the center of Cleveland Avenue, just minutes from the University of Delaware, sits Pizzeria Mariana: a restaurant that began as a tribute to Chef Robbie's Italian restaurant background and childhood love of pizza and "red sauce" Italian food. It has now transformed into a space to serve his favorite things in a way that's both approachable and enjoyable, including classic Italian appetizers, pastas, and hand-stretched pizzas baked in a wood burning oven at temps over 600 degrees.

Oh my lord, it's the best pizza I've ever had! My husband and I got the Spicy Italian and our son got the Ocean one. That was the best pizza I've ever had, and the pepperoni was so perfectly crispy! It was amazing! Definitely worth eating in or taking out and a definite repeat! After eating this pizza, I don't really want to go back to anything else! Absolutely phenomenal!! The sodas were different too; it was like a fancier soda than the typical ones, so it was a really nice experience.

Stopped in for a family dinner and left completely satisfied. Staff was extremely inviting and helpful. Great brick oven pizza that offers some good specialty pizza choices. Had leftovers the next day, and the pizza reheated in the toaster oven great. $$ is comparable to all other local spots in Newark, and the pizza is better. Highly recommended!!!

I usually get the classic Margherita, and have visited this place for many years across different owners and names. The quality has been consistently unmatched, and has only improved over time. IF there is a better value for high-quality, delicious wood-fired pizza out there, I have not seen it. Certainly not in the Newark area. I have had some great pizza in my life, but I cannot say with confidence that any exceeds Pizzeria Mariana’s.
