After hearing so much about the pizza here, and after my wife’s first hand experience earlier this week, I must say that my expectations were quite happy. Well, sometimes it is better to come into something with low expectation. I found the sauce very tasteless, and the crust was ok. Lots of toppings is a good thing in my book, but not when the crust was moistened by the toppings (or, perhaps, by the condensation in the box). At least I can say I tried it out after all these years, but I will not come back. Just plain ok to my tastes (and pizza is my favourite food in the world).

Having experience the big chain pizzeria's in the lower mainland as that's where I am from, the pizza here exceeded that. Also, the girls working there were friendly.

Calling in to place an order I was immediately met with "pick up only" which usually means they are real busy. Placed my order and headed over there. While having my pre pizza left handed ciggie I saw 3 delivery drivers with full bags rushing around. One of them being the owner. Homie had to deliver to a place, only to have them call him mid delivery to comeback cause they wanted a refund. I don't know the details and it's not worth getting into. Owner being the baller he is offered them to keep the pies with the refund but even that was met with contempt and denied the gesture.Love the pizza, staff are great and Mambo is the leading reason as why I see only weight gains instead of loss and I'm not angry.

Five Stars for Mambo Gourmet Pizza! The food is always terrific and Marc and his team are great community supporters. Today Mambo's was the official food supplier on moving day for the Nanaimo Unitarian Shelter... the cooks are tired from the move, the kitchen isn't ready but Mambo's came through, helping us feed 27 shelter guests. Thanks!
Quick note!!!!! They are OPEN Sundays as well. That was the best pizza! The crust was perfect! Delivery driver was awesome too.

All around great place for pizza in Nanaimo! Truly Locally owned and operated as you’ll see Marc and his wife working hard alongside their team, meeting the demands of the many people who crave their delicious pies. The crust is delightful, their combos are creative and oh so tasty. The pizzas are huge and fair priced considering the cost of food these days. I particularly love that you can please the whole family by getting 4 different flavors on one extra large pizza. They still deliver for free within 5km and the charges are minimal outside of that radius (plus the fees go straight to the driver for fuel costs). Oh, and if you’d rather save the fee and pick up yourself, they’ll put a 10% discount on your order. This business is a real gem and well known in the area for “Best pizza in the city!”

Don’t order within 3 hours of closing time as they will not answer the phone. Very poor customer service.

First off! I have to deeply apologize to Marc and their staff for not doing this review sooner!I have been a huge supporter/fan of Mambos Pizza for the last 20 years! When I moved away, and moved back with my boyfriend, it was the first place I took him, because he had to try the best pizza ever! And! It still tastes the same! Which is sooo rare these days!Aloha is just absolutely delicious! But EVERY PIZZA is on point …Every! Single! Time!No matter what Pizza we get - IS phenomenal!Amazingly FRESH ingredients! Quality all around! Every bite is heaven! ???I can’t tell you how many times I have tried to rationalize paying some sort of cab service to deliver to Bowser! And let me tell you, it’s worth a freaking penny Or dime I should say ?Marc is an absolute legend! His staff are just the same! We are always welcomed With such enthusiasm, Everybody knows us by name! Marc always comes out to say hi, even though he’s swamped! That’s a big deal us Italians ?This is not just a usual pizza place, this is a part of history, part of Nanaimo, and part of the community!Looking forward to our collaboration, my friend! ? let me bring food for you and your staff one of these days!(plus I wanna play in your new kitchen! ?)oh! That’s another thing! The atmosphere is so welcoming! Sparkling, spic, and span clean!Thank you for keeping the best part of Nanaimo alive! ♥️???♥️Overdose is a pizza btw which is tasty AF!Love y'all keep it up! ♥️? ? ♥️?
