Marios Ristorante and Pizzeria, Mahopac

What Makes It Good: The lifelong family connection. Owner Mario DiNardi grew up on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx and started working at his father's pizzeria in Yonkers, also called Marios, when he was 12-years-old. The whole family has owned pizzerias so he basically grew up in the business, bringing his Bronx-style pizza to Putnam.

He's been in Mahopac for 28 years come this July and still does his shopping for the restaurant at various wholesale markets and stores so he can choose his own meats and produce.

When it comes to pizza, the list of options is dizzying with toppings galore. The secret sauce is all about hard work, quality ingredients (tomatoes are key!), and top-notch customer service.
