Looking online for a kid friendly restaurant near me? Taking your entire family out to eat can be expensive. It’s hard to find a kids’ menu these day with options for $5 and less. However, here at Mario’s Pizza, we don’t think that a family dinner should break the bank. We have a large selection on our kids’ menu, with affordable options for adults as well.

The Mario’s Pizza Kids’ Menu

Mario’s Pizza is a local pizza chain that has called North Carolina home since the 1980s. We live and raise our own families right here in the Triad. We know how few options there are in the neighborhood for kids meals that don’t cost an arm and a leg.

On top of that, we know just how picky kids can be. Sometimes it feels like you pay adult prices only to have most of the food left on the plate, right? That’s why we’ve created a kids menu with a huge variety of options. Here’s what we have to offer at our family-friendly restaurant:

  • Cheese slice
  • Pepperoni slice
  • Meatball sub with fries
  • Ham and cheese sub with fries
  • Cheese sticks
  • Pasta (spaghetti or ziti) with marinara or butter sauce
  • Ravioli with marinara or butter sauce
  • Chicken tenders (grilled or crispy) with fries

All kids’ meals come with a drink of choice served in a reusable plastic cup with a lid.

Best of all, the meals on this entire menu are $5 or less. It’s hard to feed your family for that price even if you do the shopping yourself. Even at fast food restaurants, our prices are comparable or lower, but we offer a larger variety as well as fresh ingredients. Kids and adults alike can taste the difference here at Mario’s.

Pizza for the Whole Family

Along with a large kids’ menu, we of course serve up delicious New York style pizza. Many families love to order a pie to share. If your youngsters’ tastes aren’t the same as your own, we have options to put ingredients on just half the pie. It’s a great solution if not everyone in your family wants the same type of pizza.

Our topping selection includes a wide range of meats, vegetables, and other premium ingredients. We also have specialty pies available based on our personal favorite recipes. These include:

  • The Worx – Our “everything” pizza”
  • 5 Boroughs – A meat lover’s pizza with five different kinds of meats: ham, pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and beef
  • The Greenhouse – A veggies-only pizza
  • Pizza Bianco – Our version of a white pizza
  • Spicy Buffalo Chicken – Our newest specialty pizza, perfect for when you can’t decide between wings and pizza

All our pizzas, including specialty options, can come with a gluten-free or cauliflower crust. We try to have options for every dietary need, though please be aware that our entire kitchen isn’t gluten-free, so incidental contact may occur.

Dinner Options for Adults on a Budget

Although some may classify us as a kid friendly restaurant near me, we actually have options for the whole family beyond just pizza. When you’re looking for affordable dining, often the only options you can find are greasy fast food. Our family-friendly restaurant gives you a healthier choice with our salad entrees. Choose from our Garden, Greek, Chef, or Caesar options, which are fully customizable if you want to add or subtract any toppings. This is true for our hot and cold subs as well; you can add or subtract any toppings.

Although maybe not as kind to your waistline, we also have several Italian pasta entrée options for adults. At Mario’s, you can order:

  • Baked ziti
  • Eggplant parmigiana
  • Chicken parmigiana
  • Meat lasagna
  • Baked ricotta cheese ravioli
  • Spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce

Our authentic Italian entrees come with a side salad and garlic knots. Yes, most diners leave with leftovers! They are perfect heated up for lunch the next day, making your dinner budget stretch even further.
