decent pizza. it's not saying much, but this is maybe the best pizzeria i've found in seattle. as a lifelong new yorker, i have no qualms saying that the worst new york pizza is still better than the best seattle pizza, but big mario's, if anyplace, is likely the exception to the rule. service was fast, even for a busy after-bar saturday and the slices are averagely priced. have a few drinks down the street, order cheese slices to go, and eat them on the sidewalk outside - that's what it's all about.
