Reviews for Maria's Pizza & Italian Restaurant in Staunton, VA

I worked at Maria?s for 5 months. The staff are wonderful people but the management was nothing but mean and cruel to me and to... others as well. I?d like to exclude Angela and Joe who really went out of their way to teach me what I needed to do. At first webutted heads but that all changed when I realized they were just trying to help. As for KZ she was very two faced the wholetime. She would be nice on texts and then awful to my face. I rarely worked with her but she wanted me to prove that I deservedmore hours when we worked together. Everything I did was wrong in her book. I honestly believe she just didn?t like me. She evenasked me once if I lied during my interview about working at Cracker barrel! Why would I lie about that lol.Anyway I was firedbecause a table of 5 didn?t tip me. I?ll admit it took me awhile to refill their drinks because I was busy but seriously.Lucasaid I was losing business for them. I just wanted all the costumers who come in to see me to know what happened. I will misseveryone but I won?t miss being degraded and talked down to on a regular bases. If you are thinking of working here just prayyou get on their good side and they like you. Good luck Read more

The restaurant is cozy and clean. The atmosphere is good too. The service isn't impressive and the food isn't even close to some... of the better Italian restaurants in the area, but still good. Read more

We got takeout from Maria's for dinner, and it was great! The food was ready even though we got there early, and $8 for a pizza... is an amazing bargain considering how good it is. The Caprese panini and shrimp scampi are also very good! Will definitely becoming here again Read more

We ordered and picked it up to take back to the motel. Food was prepared quickly and was quite good. Our first visit. Definitely... an option for dinner next time we are in the area. Read more

Bland tasting food and very sparse portions. Very unimaginative dishes. Small bland caesar salads. I ordered a caprese panini.... It was just an untoasted sandwich though advertised as a baked and glazed crust. It was not pressed and consisted of 2 pieces ofmotzerella and 2 tomato slices and some basil and balsamic. My wife's spaghetti was a thin sauce and meat particles. This placehas really gone downhill from the past. POOR "Italian" food. No real spices and very bland. Should have known with one othertable there at dinner time on a Saturday. Read more

The takeout was delicious & included all to make you feel like you were dining in person.

Came at lunch with a friend and we were both first timers here. Our waitress was pleasant. My Greek salad had a lot of meat... and cheese but I would not call it a Greek salad. It could have used more than one onion slice and one pepper slice. It couldhave used more olives. There were teeny tiny squares of feta but overall, it just didn't seem like a Greek salad. It did comewith a delicious roll of bread hot from the oven. I'll try again some time. I do wish there were lunch specials for those ofus who don't eat pizza. The meals seemed rather pricey for lunch. Read more

Good food. Good service. Large variety of choices on menu. We got solo pizza and a chicken fettuccini dish. Both good.
