428 Colborne St E, Brantford, ON N3S 3N6, Canada
Straightforward Italian kitchen turning out pizza & simple pasta dishes since 1968.
Pick up the best pizza anywhere from Maria’s original. I’ve been eating this stuff since they first opened when I was a kid. Still the same, still excellent. Family run. Today it’s run by the son and his family. Only go to the original Maria’s stay away from Maria’s west.
I decided to order pizza for friends because it's quite a famous place in Brantford. The first is the unfriendly lady at the reception, no menu, long waiting time and writing down the order number in a notebook (?!). It's terribly hot and mega in the hall!!! MEGA!!! dirty! Let me understand. But when I received the pizza and tried it, I was sincerely disappointed with the dough, the taste, and the sauce. It's just not tasty, very salty and low on cheese. The price is quite high for me - $24 for XL. Everyone makes their own choice. I will never come back here and I do not recommend it to anyone. P.S. a pizza from the fridge can break your teeth
This place is hard to find.. We tried the pizza for the first time after seeing an ad on Facebook.. It was just OK IMO... the sauce was good but applied sparingly as we're the toppings.. I would have liked the ham and Pinapple we ordered to be on more than 5 pieces of the large we ordered... In fairness we ordered at closing time ⏲️
I moved from Ontario 18 years ago. When I come back for a visit, Maria's is one of my first stops after seeing family. You can't get pizza this good in Alberta.
We love it they always treat us so well. Such a great place. They always make my son feel very welcome he loves his cheeeeesy pizza thanks you guys are the best
After living here for almost 1.5 years, we finally went to here to have a pizza. The pizza was decent, I would like to try one more time from this place, since it's the oldest and is the best pizza place here in Brantford.
A landmark location and destination in Brantford. Amazing staff, amazing place, and even more amazing pizza 🍕 My go-to is double pepperoni, double cheese, well done! Always made right! Always burn my tongue 😆 cause I'm so excited to eat it.
This original Maria's location is celebrating 55 years at the same location in Brantford and they are giving all the same love as the day it all began. Gino and Bobbie Sue are incredible humans who love their 'Za, their team and their pizza loving community! If you haven't been yet, you must! Cheers, Spicy Jan
Still the best place to get pasta or a pizza.
Great food and staff
Usually good pizza , but tonight s was disappointing as we got a 35 party slice for my family and it was chewy not normally soft when eating it. Really looking forward in eating it as it s my birthday
Delicious pizza
Always stop here for pizza when in Brantford! Parking: Parking right in front! Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible for all.
I eat a lot of pizza and this pizza recipe needs an update. Why do you use foil on the bottom of your pie s? This just makes the pizza soggy! If you can t make a crispy crust on the bottom get out of the game. It s not rocket science.
Good pizza
I tried Marias pizza today for the first time. OMG! Ill never order pizza from anywhere else. The crust is perfect. The pizza is perfect.
My dad grew up on this pizza, and I was there so I gave it a try, and It was the BEST pizza Ive had in my LIFE! Dont mean to sound like a weirdo, but its kinda hard not to talking about THIS pizza!
Great Pizza. Friendly Staff. Reasonably priced.
For lunch time slices there was No option for vegetarians only pork options. Why make only two options and both have pork. Not considering the other population.
Started 30 plus years ago for Us! Still the same amazing, simple pizza.
Best pizza ever and the service is amazing
Fast and friendly service, same good quality as always
If I was David Portnoy I would give this a 9.8/10, delicious
Where s rest of my pizza so thinnnnn
What can I say. Marias has been a home town staple since I was a kid. The quality and taste remain unchanged and by far my favorite go to pizza place.
Just cool place service and awesome pizza
Delivery+ make time was over an hour. I live 10 minutes not even from this restaurant, it arrived to my family cold and with a very disappointing taste I can t believe I got charged 45$+ for two mediums plus delivery. Disgusted and will never order from them again.. ruined my dinner.
Pizza is the best around. The staff is so friendly and the service is amazing. If you haven t tried them I recommend you do.
Service always great and food always amazing
Always been my favourite pizza. I ve tried many places, even in surrounding areas. Maria s is top notch!
Best pizza in town! Friendly and efficient staff. Food
The Pizza was great.
Was hands down, The Best Pizza in Brantford for many years. But the last few years are so hit and miss. Tonights pizza was very doughy / chewy, and extremely greasy. Its so expensive that we only order it once in a while for a treat. Definitely a disappointment when you spend that kind of money and its a miss night. not a hit night.
Ordered the party size pizza for my daughters bday and all the guests were very impressed by the pizza as many were from out of town and had never tried it before. Definitely a great and unique tasting pizza from Brantford!
Absolutley best pizza hands down
Love this place dont to many other places
Every time I go to Brantford, I make sure to get some pizza from Marias. It hasnt changed since I was a kid. Its simply the best pizza Ive ever had and I love the fact that it doesnt come from some cookie cutter corporate franchise.
Stop putting tape on the boxes.. use better boxes if theres a problem with them opening.
Best pizza in town
Garbage, soggy pizza, First and last time, waste of money and terrible service.
Best pizza in Brantford Ontario!
We drive in from Paris for you pizza last night I was excited to have a pizza from the only place we n order I from I was so disappointed when l got home the crust was so thick and the toppings were spares what happened
Love their well done pizzas They are def top tier for the city
We were in town for a family visit and ordered 2 pizzas for pickup, one with meat and one without. When we got home we found meat on both pizzas. We called the store and they apologized and said they would make another and deliver it at no cost. The pizza was delivered, it was delicious and the customer service was fantastic! Thank you!!
We got a pepperoni and bacon pizza and it was amazing
I absolutely love Marias it is so good
Amazing pizza! Friendly staff, a Friday night favourite in our household!
This place is so consistent. If youre new to brantford please check this place out. An absolute gem of the city. Good people and even better pizza. ITALIAN pizza!!
Good pizza, very busy store but friendly staff. Price above average, but pizza is better than a typical chain store. Overall, it was a good experience.
Marias Original Pizza is the best in town
Delicious pizza for a great price! Always great service only thing is that the wait can be awhile :)
Consistently delicious pizza
Ohhhhh man how do I even start with this amazing place boys and girls this is the most caring giving beautiful family owned restaurant I have ever been to they are so so seeet I own a business doen the st and if I m busy they will walk their a$$ s down some and deliver my food in any weather. I have had some big events and Maria s has flat up just donated so many pizzas. The staff!!!!!! Gosh always smiling always happy to serve and they make the best not only pizza but meat balls. Their only negative is they only give 2 meatballs in the spaghetti lol but they give you the option to buy more xoxoxo Brazilian princess
Awesome pizza
Happy to say we found a gem in Brantford!
We had Maria s original do up 6 full squares for my brothers buck n doe and they were soooo good! They did them up beautifully they almost looked too good to eat lol but they got devoured! Everyone was commenting on how great the pizza was that night! Definitely recommend and will be ordering from them again
Ive been ordering & eating Marias since I was a child. Their pizza has always been great. I can still remember going there Halloween night when I was about 11 or 12yrs old for a free slice instead of giving candy. Great family great food.
The pizza!a sauce is to die for!!
Brantford is known for a lot of great things. Wayne Gretzky. great parks and outdoors but Marias pizza which has been there forever still has the tastiest pizza known to mankind.i drive there from Hamilton to get it sometimes. Daily specials too !! Sooooo go9d ! I wish they were open right now !
Pizza with history. Many kinds. You can choose the ingredients. I was pleased that there are mega huge ones. Delicious and fast.
Takeaway pizza, there are only two tables to eat in the place which are for two people only.
Wow is all I can say! This owners of this pizza joint is amazing! My daughter is having a fundraiser for a terminal illness she has and they are donating the food for the night we couldn t be more blessed for them. I have to say the best pizza place since I was in high school which was many years ago! Thank you so much
Well we can only say thank you to the best pizza its like mamas old fashioned crusted pizza Thank you!
Great pizza!
This place is great. All of the recipes are delicious and have high quality ingredients. The staff are very friendly and super helpful. Highly recommended.
Quick, freshly made pizza. Friendly staff. The pizza tastes like a homemade pizza my mother or Nonna would make. The crust was crisp but not burnt with a nice soft chewy middle. Well topped with real cheese, you wont confuse this for a chain pizza. My only concern was that the sauce was a bit bland, otherwise this was a perfect pizza. Ill definitely stop again when Im in the area and try some of the other offerings. Parking: Lots of parking in the area, plenty of street spots and even a parking lot close by.
We have ordered spaghetti for years but who ever changed the recipe should be fired the last order was horrible
Always delicious!
Always great pizza .
This has always been one of my favorite pizza places. The flavor is second to none!
Me and my wife are regulars and for a good reason well many reasons but a couple are the great service and the cheesy sticks mmm the deserts too omg soon good. They make you feel welcome and part of the family. Its the place we go to. Always will
Wish I had a picture of our pizza but I am mainly here to leave a review about the staff. When I went to pick up my order on a sat evening, I noticed the satff were young. Let me tell you it was some of the best customer service i have ever received. Definitely my favorite pizza place.
Visiting Brantford for the week mid week missing my local pizza shop I decided to search out a LOCAL SHOP...After looking over 4-5 places I decided to give Marias a try! Boy oh Boy Im lucky I did! Right from the initial call to the pick up unreal service! Old school service! The pizza forget about it!!!!! No words needed just look that picture! Absolutely beautifully done! Thnks Marias for making Me feel right at Home!!!!!
Legendary pizza spot in Brantford, awesome pizza, sometimes a little sloppy, but thats ok, the taste makes up for it.
Never understood why everyone raves about this place. Growing up, it was just an ok pizza. I tried it for the first time in years tonight hoping it must be better now. Very disappointed. Crust was like cardboard. Toppings are undercooked. Sauce tasteless. I truly had high hopes and was hoping it would be great. Sorry Marias, I wont be back. At least you have lots of fans.
Best pizza, I have eaten in my life period! makes me want to move to Branford
Drove here from London and it didnt disappoint. Amazing pizza, thank you!!!
Amazing pizza
Traditional pizza passed down through the generations of the family owned business. You can still taste the care and love that Momma Maria poured her heart into all those decades ago! Mom & dad would be so proud kids!
Great pizza and great staff. Cant get a better pizza in Brantford!
when you order from marias you always have a 50/50 chance of getting a good pizza. when its good its greatg but when its bad i mean its bad especially since they charge a top dollar. the last time i ordered a half square it lacked cheese on half the pizza. one side was as thick as a piece of paper and the other half was 3/4 of an inch thick. the sauce was watery which made the part of the pizza that had cheese slide off when you got a slice. the time before that the pizza was undercooked and lacked the toppings i ordered with the same watery sauce. i will give it another try and cross my fingers.
Been looking for good pizza, found Marias..went in ordered and found all but 1 employee with their face mask below their nose...asked if masks were enforced and the person I talked to just shrugged her shoulders...so my search continues..
Great Pizza, fast friendly service. Our favorite spot
Long time favorite
Yummy pizza all the time my favs are Pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms and Hawaiian
Killer pizza
Awesome
Been getting food from here for time .. never had complaints really dont complain cause hey you could have made the food ur self and make it perfect right.... Yea right I wish I could lol .. will give them one thing when they say whatever time for food to take they mean it there spot on for there cook times The customer service is semi good but definitely needs improvement but what can you expect from an all teenager/young adult staff roster
Great pizza. Fresh and hot out of the oven. The chocolate cake and banana cream cheese cake are both great!
Love Marias pizza and Sheilas Sweets & Treats makes the perfect dessert! We always eat too much but what a treat
A Brantford classic! Delicious pizza, quality ingredients and great prices.
Best pizza in brantford!
Pizza pizza pizza yummy in the tummy
Amazing pizza. Best outside of Italy
Best za in Brantford, hands down
its a shame a nice place good food but bad service, take it as a last option
Just moved to Brantford I googled best pizza. Marias came up.....I ordered it. Google was correct.... fantastic pizza. I bet you use Stanislaus tomato product,
Brings back memories from childhood
Always been a favourite of mine!
I would like to thank Marias pizza for this experience that when I called about the spaghetti being cold room temperature. The Snot nose kid told me it was my fault living 5 minutes from the store an hung up. Customer of 30 years gone. Thanks .
One of the best non wood oven pizzas in town since theyve been in town...
Delishious pizza, friendly people
It s by far the best freshly made pizza in Brantford! I tried many other places, but this pizza is on another level. The service has always been great as well!
Excellent job they gave me a great deal on large pizza
Good pizza . Not as good as the original marias but still very good
Staff is friendly, service is good but I found the pizza about 3.5 out of 5. Not bad, just not spectacular...
They never disappoint. We love the pizza and the staff are great. Thank you!!
Best pizza in town!
Fast friendly service. The pizza was delicious and the slices of cake were incredible.
Pizza was dry and must of been sitting half the afternoon. For the price, it is not worth it. Very disappointed, they should have called it quits after it burned down. Never again
A staple pizzeria in the neighborhood. Made in house cakes and possibly the best pizza in town.
new favourite place to pop in for lunch!! i recommend grabbing a piece of cake with your order!! yummy
Great pizza
Who is Maria? Somehow Google thinks I was at Marias.
Perfect Za, fun staff think I will head over there now for a slice!
THEN THEY BLOCK YOU ON FACEBOOK TOO AFTER CALLING THEM OUT ON BLOCKING YOU. DEFINATELY LIST MY WHOLE FAMILIES BUSINESS NOW! YOU WERE OUR FAMILY GET TOGETHER PIZZA PLACE. Blocking customers on Instagram after they had a problem. NOT COOL BUSINESS PRACTICES! Guess Marias West will be the only one Im supporting now!
11/10 the best pizza in the world. Yes I said world. Grew up in brantford having Maria s pizza for school lunches on Fridays & pizza all the time for dinner as a kid after hockey practice! I have moved away and will still make the drive down to order! I have yet to find another pizza place that comes close to Maria s!! The crust. The cheese. The bacon. The whole dang thing. YUM!
We order regularly, the ladies at the front always remember us and treat us so well. The food is amazing has been since I was a kid. I recommend this to everyone.
The family & I enjoy every slice when it comes to Marias Original.
I always go here best pizza in brantford always a pleasure to go in there staff are top notch and the pizza slices are as well
Will be back n back n back....
Best pizza in the ! Would never get sick of this pizza!
Still the BEST pizza in the city... From childhood to present I have loved Marias Pizza.. Quality over Quantity is what you pay for... worth every penny!
Just got a large square half cheese and half hawaiin. Absolutely loved by the whole family. Very polite on the phone and great pizza!!! Thanks
I went in there once your pizza is amazing.but theres one time I was not impressed the pizza didnt have a crust it was horribly done and it wasnt cut all the way through.
I am so happy Maria s downtown, now known as Maria s Original is back in action after the fire that burnt their shop a couple of years ago. I LOVE their pizza, second to none and I have travelled a lot and had pizzas in many countries. I always know it will be the same excellent flavour, from crust to toppings cooked just long enough. Way to go guys.
By far, the best pizza in Brantford. Great service and very warm and friendly people.
not like the old Marias lacking in the topping as of late.
Best pizza in town!
I went to Marias Pizza.i was very impress with there service.there where extremely bussy and didnt need the sale,but i couldnt find my bank card.i ask if they had e-transfer,one of the young workers said he did so i sent it to him.this is something every business should have...Maria went out of there way to make hungry customer happy,where all pizza places would of said no.pizza toppings where awesome,only thing i would recommend that bottom crust to be crispy.i will be back
Love this place!! Take out all the way to Hamilton
Great food how ever the sauce has changed since they reopened but still good food
so Marias pizza is back and still taste great. the fire was devastating but gave life to new chapter of Marias pizza. still a nice place for pizza and will always be one of my favorite places for pizza.
I cant get enough Marias Original doesnt matter the toppings simply the best in town
I cant say I tried their food. Called for 45 minutes and busy signal. Need more phone lines or better website to order from.
I ve heard very good comments on this family owned pizzeria & Italian foods. Have tried others in Brantford, ON, and they were mostly all good. Had a person who was employed here, and mentioned this place was good. Ordered a 10 small with fresh mushrooms and pepperoni. Wife ordered the (1) serving of lasagna (generous portion). Ordered the pie as thin crust, it was cooked perfect, golden brown on bottom and nice Italian sauce on it, plus plenty of mozzarella cheese melted on top. The lasagna was very tasty, meat (think mixture pork/beef) with nice Italian sauce, plenty of cheese throughout. Very pleasant and friendly staff, order takers, counterstaff and the chefs. Was extremely impressed and was not disappointed and all the raving reviews were accurate and true. Bravo!
If you grew up in Brantford then you know how great the pizza is. If you are new to town, do yourself a favor and order yourself a pizza. You wont regret it.
Very good pizza, pleasant service
Always great as usual.
Excellent pizza and quick service for pick up.
Excellent food price is reasonable
Best pizza in town for Shure
Love Marias Original pizza. Great friendly service and best of all a delicious pizza always.
Awesome as always
The best pizza you can get in Brantford.
The best of the best. I travel from Fergus just for their spaghetti and garlic toast with cheese.
I ordered a large pizza with 3 toppings and not only was the order ready on time but the pizza was perfectly cooked.They didnt skimp out on toppings either, theres plenty and they were perfectly cooked as well,except the pepperoni was a little undercooked but still other than that its the best pizza ive had in months. Lots of cheese, and very good flavour as well. I will definetely be coming back.
Best in town!!
The bacon wasnt really fully cooked and that turned me off.
Superb pizza (and also spaghetti & meatballs)! I live in another city an hour away and only get pizza from this place because it is THAT good! Also, the staff are always incredibly nice and provide amazing service.
They gave away our pizza we had to wait 15 more minutes for another and it didnt taste so hot or good
Always great pizza. Friendly staff.
Marias Original Pizza - GREAT! Authentic homemade Italian pizza.SO GOOOD! Nice place, nice staff, clean. Really good food. Yum!
