good pizza
Pretty good New York style pizza, the owner is really nice. I went on a Saturday night it was super busy, I suppose it was from the nightlife. Only bad thing was this lady with glasses that was working at the front was super rude and was yelling at this nice guy.
Great food
.awesome
Some of the best pizza in all Nanaimo!
Quality hand made pizza. Overdose is my favourite. Buy it by the slice in their shop. Their delivery service is ***** 5 stars.
We stopped for the night in Nanaimo and ordered a pizza for our hotel room. They said it would be 45 minutes. Pretty standard. It came piping hot in 15 minutes and was simply delicious. Lots of fresh topping and a great homemade crust! The prices you see include taxes and delivery. So what you see is what you pay!
Terrible pizza; I will never buy here again.
Found this place recommended when visiting Nanaimo. Epically good pizza. No deals, no 2 for 1 but really good pizza.
Definitely the best gluten free pizza crust I have ever had! There's really no competition from all that I have tried.
Always good pizza and service!!
Mambo Pizza is a Nanaimo treasure! I love the crust and the great flavours. Service is so polite and accomodating, and delivery pizza is just as good as dining in. A tiny bit more expensive than franchise pizza but well worth it.
Best Pizza in Nanaimo
My kids Love your pizza as so do I thanks for the best pizza
Best pizza in Nanaimo. BBQ chicken and Mambo Masala are my favorite ones
Tasty pizza
Wow it really is the best pizza in town.
I suspect some of the reviews are fake, written by the owner himself... MAMBOS SUCKS. I had been coming in every other day for the last few weeks...it's very close to my work, not like it's great pizza. I tried a different kind today...and thought it was TOTALLY disgusting. I asked them for another and they refused, and charged me full price for another. Terrible customer service. I will NEVER return here after the way I've been treated today.
Best pizza in town and some awesome people that work there
Great pizza that's huge & filling.
Delicious pizza
Best pizza I've tasted on Vancouver island. I drive up from Victoria once in a while it's so good!
Had take out, pizza was awesome as usual
Delicious pizza. Loved the fact that you could order a pizza with 2 x half of different pizzas. Had half of jalapeno popper pizza and the mambo special pizza. They were both really good, but that jalapeno popper pizza really hit the spot! That cream cheese and jalapeno combined on the pizza was so delicious. Ordered through their online website and we saved 10%. The girl running the till was nice and helpful. Definitely recommends this place for some good pizza.
The pizza is good , the staff a little bit forgetful
It's ok, nothing really to write home about. Staff could be a bit friendlier. A bit overpriced for what it is.
A Nanaimo institution! Love me some Mambo!
Wonderful pizza so good
I agree that it is magnificent pizza and next time I will try the gluten free instead of just eating the toppings. They have a 12" gluten free option! Right downtown in Nanaimo and walking distance to the Gabe ferry. Very good and you can buy by the piece! Stopped for pizza on the way through town and Mambo hit the spot.
Pizza is delicious, love the Jalapeño Popper. Did a pick-up order and the problem was from the customer service. I felt the lady at the cash and the pizza artisan had an extreme amount of attitude. I was there to give them BUSINESS, not to be talked down to by someone I didn't even know. This is my first almost negative review of a business, I don't like that it is about a place who has a good product.
Driving down island from Campbell River to Victoria, Mambo Pizza was a godsend for a food break, particularly for my fiancée who has gluten/dairy sensitivities and Mambo covered all the bases. Fairly priced AND extremely delicious. Highly recommended.
Love the pizza here! Always delicious and a lot of fun choices! Great that you can get 4 different pizzas in One!
Amazing, wonderful, Great. MARC is the bomb. LOVE His staff. BACON CHEESE BUGER DELUXE WITH PICKLES!!! DO IT!!! IT'S AN AMAZING PIZZA
Best pizza in Nanaimo, amazing staff and owner.
Our favorite pizza! And we can order through the app! Extra stars for no phone calls ???? Crust was extra amazing tonight ☺️
It was maybe expensive but the best pizza i have had here.
The whole family loves the pizza..
It was tasty! Just sucks that it wasn't delivered hot so the cheese was dry!
If you want great pizza to feed everyone and your not in a rush, Mambos is the place to go. The biggest one that they have is easily enough for 4 adults. Thank you awesome pizza people, stay above the competition. EDIT: Google wants an update. I still ONLY order from Mambos when I want Pizza. I use their website, I phone them, I get it in me. I love making huge custom pizzas that are always over budget but worth every penny? I guess a Con would be that having a predictable breakfast and lunch the next day can be tedious. :-)
Best Pizza in town hands down!!! Honestly its really great!!! Love the Kahuna and the 4Cheese!
Best pizza in town, friendly staff, good hours.
Fast delivery, great vegan pizza, friendly customer service
Open late. Great crust.
Favorite pizza place in town
Good pizza prices good.
Decent pizza and not to spendy. The staff is friendly and the slices are hot.
Best pizza in Nanaimo, maybe even BC. Buy a slice at their store.
I ordered this well acclaimed pizza for myself and my partner. I ordered his with no onions because he hates onions. And when I asked him how his pizza was his response was “very oniony” …I was shocked and embarrassed.. When the expectation is high (as is the price) it’s even more disappointing
Good pizza place.
Everytime I'm I'm Nanaimo I make it my mission to stop by Mambos!
Best Gluten free pizza I have ever had, hands down. It took 45 minutes to get but because it was fresh made for us. Worth every second of the wait!! The crust was delicious and held up to the mountain of toppings. And the toppings were fresh and abundant! Staff was very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Need more stars!
Fantastic pizza! Arguably the best in town.
Wow!! So meaty.
Best pizza I have Ever had! I have to say every time i get pizza from Mambos it has never disappointed me. When you bite into your slice your taste buds are overrun with a melody of different flavors but one thing that always stands out is how fricken delicious the dough and crust is... Seriously they could get away with selling plain Slices with nothing but the dough and it still be in the top 5 pizzas you will have ever had. I 10 out of 10 Recommend you add going to Mambos to your bucket list. you have not had pizza till you have had mambos pizza.
Pizza has gone down Big time , a lot better pizza places in town with a lot better Prices. Mambos is over priced sub par soggy pizza
Great friendly staff and great pizza
Best za in Nanaimo
We have ordered from them multiple times and they have always been great. On our last order the driver informed us that one of our pizzas was slightly overcooked so they gave it to us for free, and another driver was on their way with a replacement pizza, also for free. I really appreciate this kind of customer service.
I haven't been there since before Covid. I went there last week for a midday slice...NO DICE Individual slices are still unavailable- hence the low rating. Sorry but things are improving...Please come back slices..PLEASE Wow! Kinda a dinkish reply. Lol Good luck with your move
Everyone loves a big slice of Pizza after the bar... That's where these guys win!
Always a top notch slice. Love the 4 kinds on one XL pizza...perfect with picky kids ! Do yourself the favour and give them a shot !
Offers some of the best pizza on the island from one slice to the whole pizza you will not be disappointed.. Great atmosphere and great people that work there and great pizza.. What more can I say other than go and try for yourself..
Best pizza in town!
Best pizza in town
Prices seem a bit high up front but the quality for dollar is unmatched. Best pizza in Nanaimo.
ADDRESSING ALL AND ANY ALLEGATIONS OF NEGATIVE POSTS! (from Toronto, so know bad service). They always fix their mess ups, I am not keen on people who have one bad experience and judge the business as a whole..... people work hard there, they are solid and more then make up for the odd mistake . For the people that don't respect that, LEARN TO BE MORE APPRECIATIVE AND BACK DOWN! Great staff, great business, great pizza!
Large variety
Absolutely hands down my favourite place for pizza. The staff are always friendly and it’s a locally owned family run business. In my books that a win, win all around. My favourite is the “Presto Pesto”, tastes even better the following day! ❤️
The best pizza ever !
Dope pizza man
I've eaten a LOT of pizza and the only place that comes close to mambo pizza is in Coquitlam over on the mainland, and mambo pizza is still better. Will definitely be going back. I'll gladly pay 30$ for 18" pizza this good than save 5 or 6 bucks for something like panago.
Best pizza in nanaimo
Best pizza in Nanaimo hands down.
Always a Nanaimo classic
Best pizza in town
Easily the best pizza in town. Maybe in the world! Big slices, good prices.
Reasonably priced for the massive size of their pizzas, however I wish they had discounts/sales on here and there. Favourite pizza place in town. Fantastic selection, a little on the greasy side but tasty nonetheless.
Love their greek pizza! There super fast and its awesome being able to do half and half or even quarters for no charge so you can try different tastes and pizzas all in one. and there even open late on Friday, & Saturdays for the after bar rush and sell single slices. The people that work there to are super friendly especially for having to deal with so many drunk people late at night!
Very popular place
Best pizza on town...thats all I nees to say about this place...and believe me when I say that you wont be disappointed in the service or the size of the portions that you will be blessed with when you enter this establishment...cheers...
Killer vegan pizza to have at 3am complimented very well with judge judy
Always get a great pizza their
The best gluten free pizza I have ever had. Great crust!
Waited for over two hours for my order which never arrived, when I had to call back a second time the manager argued with me instead of accepting it had been delivered to the wrong address.
Best pizza ever and always delivered on time
The best pizza in Nanaimo. Really quick pick up orders. Tasty menu items, and interesting vegetarian options.
Delicious
Best pizza in Nanaimo for sure.
Best pizza on the Island. I've been eating there for more than a decade, and they've been consistently *loaded* with toppings and beautifully done homemade crusts. They have several wonderful veggie options and are happy to substitute, even extensively. And the icing on the cake is that at 18", their large pizzas are often bigger than other places' extra-large ones.
10 stars tho! This place is insane. Best gluten free pizza hands down and staff is great ????
Excellent pizza and very nice option to have a pizza half and half or if extra large, 4 different pizzas in 1.
Service
Take out
Amazing pizza. None other like it in town.
Extremely good pizza. Great fresh ingredients massive size portions. Open late for all your bar crawl hunger requirements! And did I mention there a locally owned business! Who support tons of local events
This place has great pizza
Absolutely fantastic pizza. Huge sized pizzas, good crust, and lots of toppings. Prefer to order delivery instead of eating in store due to some of the types of people that hang out around this location but definitely amazing pizza. I would totally recommend.
Best pizza in town!
Ate here three nighs in a row, even when at local establishments. If Mambos was in Chilliwack, it would be voted #1.
Awesome Pizza... it tastes great and ready when you are... I enjoy being able to walk in and have service like they have. Quick and friendly
Great pizza!! Just loved it!!!!
Best in town by miles. Awesome service and delicious pizzas!!
soggy pizza
Great food
FANTASTIC!! I love this place. Amazing Staff and Delicious pizza.
Amazing pizza. I had the gf hangover pizza and my sweetie had a regular cheese pizza. Both were super. Great staff
Ordered 3 pizzas and was really let down by the quality. Lots of high ratings so I was stoked to try this place, but the consensus from my group was that the pizza just wasn’t good.
Great classic tasting pizza! And fresh! I typically ask when on a business trip where to eat around the hotel I/we are at and this time I was told Mambo by the front desk and a good solid choice when in Nanaimo! Pretty good pricing too! Thanks!
Been eattin mambos for 11 years
Pizza was undercooked.
Really good pie. Great delivery!
Wish I had tried this pizza way before now . I moved here in 16 and have just tried it for the first time and can say by far its the best damn pizza in Nanaimo and fairly priced as well . Always tons of fresh toppings and always baked to perfection. Will defiantly make this my go to pizza place.
Hell. To. The. Yeah. So. Good. Just. Do. It! Fabulous as always. Thanks Mambo's for straight up consistency and deliciousness as always. ????????????????????????????????
donair and bbq chicken were really good.. destroyed a large by myself
Hands down the best pizza in Nanaimo . Highly recommend the vegetarian pizza!! The service is always great, too.
Great Indy pizza. Great value, big slices, unique toppings, low prices. A little salty and it's not gourmet, but hey, at 1am in the morning, who cares! Thanks for being a fixture in Nanaimo guys!
Both pizzas were great we ordered a gluten free and regular pizza and love the fact they don’t charge anything extra for the gluten free option
Best Pizza and even better owners! Marc and his amazing staff truly care about their craft just as much as they care about their customers. 100% recommend to everyone I know.
The best pizza in Nanaimo by a wide margin. Fresh dough, high quality ingredients, good selection of toppings and also very community-oriented and friendly. A staple of Nanaimo nightlife or a good place to grab a slice on your lunch break.
My favorite (only) place to get pizza!
Working in town. Probably some of the best pizza we’ve ever had. Impressed
One of the best pizza places we have ever tried. We have a bunch of pizza places in vancouver but this one hits the spot for us. We love how we can split the pizza into 4 different flavours. Prices are reasonable as the staff and quality is superb. Also their sweet garlic sauce is to die for, always need to order 6 or more for every pizza we get. If you’re in town, definitely try this place out!
Highly recommended. Definelty go with the extra large (18") as you can choose 4 different pizzas flavours in one pizza. Its a great way to try different combos and a great value at less than $30. Lots of food. The pizza itself was tasty, good amount of quality toppings and well put together. I was also impressed with their customer service as i have a nut allergy so pesto can be problematic. I ordered online and they send me a custom message after confirming their pesto has no nuts. Great extra effort. ????
My favorite pizza in town. Their vegetarian pizza is my favorite, and a must try for non-vegetarian alike.
Second time ordering from Mambo and it was just as delicious as the first time. Better than any pizza I've had in Ontario and happy to say I've found my new place for pizza in Nanaimo ????
We love that they offer a Gluten-Free crust, and overall our pizza was really good! Always a great time.
Ordered from Mambo on the evening of 17th this month and was very disappointed. I live near Piper's Lagoon and the pizza took 1.5 hours to arrive. I was told that it would take 45 minutes and when I called after 50 minutes I was told that the pizza was on it's way and it still took another 40 minutes to get to mine. I asked the delivery person if he had gotten lost at all and he said no, he is familiar with the area. Pizza was pretty average to me. Next time I will save my money and my time and just get Panago.
One of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever had and friendly customer service. There's also a 10% discount if you order to pick up.
The best Pizza in Nanaimo
Alright pizza, kinda overpriced seem to cater to the drunk late night bar crowd
They" hands down" make the best pizza, I have had many pizza"s from there and never had a bad one I can assure you they are not cheap with the toppings or cheese I drive from parksville just to get one thats how good they are just wish they could send one by drone HAHAHA CHEERS
Best pizza in nanaimo would recommend to everyone to try their pizza
Thank you Mambo!! What a day, traveled to Nanaimo a day before an early morning exam. Missed the ferry because it was full. Checked into the hotel and opened the books for some study time and ordered a pizza (1st time from Mambo). a Crazy amount of noise erupted from the hallway because 3 youth sports teams just checked into my floor... great. The hotel was great to relocate me but on my way down to the front desk, the pizza arrive and called me but no reception in the elevator so i missed him. Mambo made a fresh pie and delivered it later, no charge. Wow. Thanks for turning my night around... and it tastes awesome! i'll be ordering again in a few months when i'm back in town.
Vary good pizza staff is friendly and good at there jobs ???? highly recommended
Great pizza, friendly staff and good value too!
Literally the best pizza in town Loved this place for years
N.o.t.h.i.n.g beats it
Consistently good. Reasonable price for an excellent pizza. Management respects locals and shows consideration to all customers.
Excellent pizzas! Large pieces for a good price. Quick place to grab a bite or takeout. Staff are awesome
Mmmmmm. Mambos.
Second to none, amazing pizza, my favourite by far is the Kahuna, bbq sauce with pineapple and bacon — next level sh!t. Seriously enjoy any pizza from Mambos, slices are always nice and fresh for walk-ins. There is also something to be said about a business that isn’t ruled by greed, they are closed on Sundays! I like to think that’s it’s cuz they care about the people that work there!
The best pizza ever. Not greasy. Very tasty. Delivery service was excellent. Would highly recommend
Best pizza on the island!!
Always delicious and fantastic service! Supportive of the community. The best pizza place around!
Was already the best pizza in town, hands down, but their gluten free crust is AMAZEBALLS!!!!! Like seriously, the best GF pizza crust I've ever had. Thanks so much Team Mambo for another awesome dinner!!!
Good pizza and service
Our family, and the college I work at, has been Mambo Pizza enthusiasts for as long as I can remember. Amazing pizza, phenomenal staff. Highly recommend!!!
Best pizza
Never disappoints. They go above and beyond, every single time. Lovely staff and great food. Any pizza you choose will probably taste really good! I like all the veggie ones, the hangover and Montreal style!
Great late night fix
Their meatlovers pizza is fully loaded! Awesome!
Jalapeno pepper pizza enuff said
delivery was right when they said it was going to be got half the big kahuna and half mambos with shrimp best pizza I've ever had 11/10
Biggest pizza slice for Nanaimo black gold coal bc town
If I could marry a restaurant, Mambo would be The One. Try to Jalapeño Popper and Kahuna pizzas, you will not regret the choice. These pizzas are made with an extra cup of love, and it absolutely shows. I cannot wait for this business to expand and take over the world. ♡
YUM
I love their pizza to death; however, I really wish they had a svoury (not sweet) garlic dip... just sayin' ;) The staff are lovely by the way! And I like how you get 10% off if you are at White Sails brewery and order one of Mambo's pizzas! :)
????Delicious!❤
A small, hole in the wall pizza joint that will blow you away. Try anything, its all amazing! My personal favourite is the jalapeño popper pizza.
Friendly staff and very accommodating... Oo glooten free things
Please move to Port Coquitlam because I miss your pizza and nothing on the lower mainland compares to it. NOTHING.
Delicious pizza!! I haven’t had a pizza with good fake cheese since becoming vegan until this. Good crust and fresh veggies, very yummy! Would strongly recommend!!
(Translated) Best in Nannaimo. (Original) Best in Nannaimo.
This was the first pizza I have ever ordered in Nanaimo. I have no reason to look elsewhere. It's Friday night. You get paid. Spend the extra $5 and order from these guys. You deserve it. The 18" will keep you fed all weekend and they give you value for your money. The pie is like 4 lbs easy, and is impressive. I don't even think they offer extra cheese, because this beast was covered. It was ready within 15 min, and even had a great logo on the box. This is one of the "you get what you pay for" places and from what I have heard has been around for a long time. If you are into a serious pie like I was, come here first.
I love this place, everytime I pass by I just go grab me a slice. I wish they had a seafood slice. Mostly it's pork or veg options.
Best pizza we have had in many years ????
My family and I have ordered pizza from here twice. The last time we ordered it was over 2 hours late. When I called in to see where my order was, the said “ I’m so sorry it didn’t make it to the kitchen, we will get it in and to you very soon. Won’t be long” Upon delivery the delivery driver gave me attitude and said the instructions didn’t say back door, however I noticed it said so right on the receipt. No discount, no apologies. The first time we ordered the pizza was 45 minutes late( each time qoute one hour ) The pizza was very good, however I feel like customer service is lacking.
Great
Try the jalapeno popper pizza.... Words can't even explain how good it is!
We don't order pizza often, but whenever we do, we get it from Mambo, since we want it to be good! Yesterday we ordered some.. they made a minor mistake in our order which the delivery person told us about right away. She then offered $5 off our order and had another pizza rushed to fix the mistake (free of charge). Great customer service and great pizza :)
Awesome late night snacks!
Mambos used to be great. Now not so much. Hardly any toppings and its burnt.
So good
(Translated) Like a Montreal pizzas! Xxx (Original) Like a Montréal pizzas! Xxx
Amazing as always
Best in town
Best pizza in town, really good crust, fresh toppings, loaded up. Jalapeño popper is my fave! Great service, great people.
Ready to go but not hot. Tasty though
Pizza is pretty good. Staff is nice. Place looks cool. Overall, you should check it out.
Very nice pizza!
Fantastic pizza! First rate real ingredients none of that frozen pre-made stuff. 100% recommend Mambo's! Comes up to 18" X-Large size.
Best Pizza in Nanaimo !!! Never had a bad slice at this Nanaimo institution
Especially the veg pizza I loved it
This restaurant is truly wonderful in every way. If you decide to eat in you will find that the place is very comfortable, clean and well kept. The huge windows allow you to enjoy your pizza while people-watching the ever-changing streetscape of Victoria Crescent, featuring some of the most "interesting" folks around! The pizza is really great in every way. Not only is Mambo one of the few places on the Island which has an 18" pizza (making the common 14" look like a personal-size pie) but the crust is truly delectable. Somehow, the pizza masters at Mambo are able to obtain a deep pan crust consistency and crunch from a flat pan. I have no idea how they manage to do it but it's totally amazing.
D A N K V I B E S AND G O O D S L I C E S
I can't eat gluten or tomatoes but really love pizza. Mambos was able to provide me with a delicious pizza after years of waiting. They also give vegan cheese for free as all. They do not up charge for gluten free crust, but you can only get a medium pizza in the gluten free option. I got Pesto Popeye and it was delicious! I would recommend this place to everyone and anyone
Little pricey when buying "by-the-slice" IMO but it truly is gourmet pizza. Also, ordering a whole pizza is actually usually a LITTLE bit cheaper than going with more "well-known" companies (like Dominoes, etc.). Plus, I think it is locally owned and operated, which is definately a bonus. And their "spinny style" pizza is to die for, in my opinion :)
Guys behind the counter could be friendlier...i found them pretty rude. Pizza is a bit spongy...sauce tastes like ketchup. Maybe better than frozen pizza from the grocery store, but not by much. Not worth the money.
Their spicy ranch is a must! All of their pizzas are fantastic! I’ve never had a complaint other than the popularity and how busy they are! That’s a good thing though! Keep up the great pizzas!
This place is the bomb dot com! Best pizza ever! Owner is awesome!
Probably the best pizza in town XL cheese on a pick up is a bargain
Love love love love great friendly staff always good food good sevice clean bathrooms open counter
Fantastic Pizza. Delivered hot and the crust was amazing.
Best pizza on nanaimo
Absolute best pizza I've ever had. The dipping sauce was amazing as well. Fast, friendly service. And absolute quality food... now I just wish they could come up with a good Donair made of beef with that sweet garlic sauce..☺
Great pizzas.

Awesome pizza in the town, I used to live their slices so much that I used to go their every week at least once. If you are in downtown then don’t miss this awesome to go slices of pizza.
Some of the best gluten free pizza I've ever had!
I love mambos
Great pizza and fun staff
For pizza in Nanaimo, there is *NO* competition - not Dominos, not George's, not Papa John's - Mambo stands alone at the top. Go to their site. Check out their menu. Selection galore. Quality of ingredients TOPS. Do it. You know you wanna.
Best pizza in Nanaimo
I love Mambo. They have The best pizza in town hands down!!! They have ample toppings on the pizzas, filling, and hearty, & creative toppings. Anytime I am in the neighborhood and in the mood for awesome pizza, this is where I go. Good job!!!
Absolutely the best pizza I've had on the island! It hit the spot after a full day of driving and 2 ferry rides, and the left overs were delicious. Too bad I live further up island or I'd be here more often!
Mambos makes a mean pie!

Mambo Gourmet Pizza is the go-to spot for hearty, thick-crust, classic pizza! An array of creative and classic flavours to choose from and menu accommodations for GF & DF available.
One of best pizza places in town. Lot of varieties. Great for vegan friendly.
Awesome pizza and awesome service! I've always loved mambo pizza and even recently when I have cut dairy out of my life they have still rocked their pizzas with dairy free cheese! Tonight I picked up a beautiful gooey "cheesy" pizza and unfortunately there was a mistake with my order. When I called to let them know about it the woman I spoke to was so polite and accommodating and didn't skip a beat offering to send another to my house right away! We are all human and make mistakes, and it just made my night that they handled it with such great friendly service. Awesome to see that they care about the customer, and as always, best pizza in town!
Best pizza in Nanaimo!

Always the best product, people and service! Kudos Mambo!
Service
The staff was really friendly and very good pizza. Great vegetarian options too and its kind of a mixture between a deep dish and New York style pizza. Definitively take the time to get there and nice small boutique near the restaurant to walk and enjoy. Pro: really good pizza, good value for the quality Con: no alcohol
This place never disappoints. Ideal way to cap a night out at the bar.
I've been having this wonderful pizza for 8 years of my life staff really nice so nice one of the staff gave me a hat for my 7th birthday and if he's reading this thank you ????
Amazing Gluten & Lactose free pizzas. Tastes just like the real deal.
Place is kind of shabby Pizza is not that great
Just had these slices of heaven delivered to my place last night. Amazing pizza and worth every penny. I will definitely be ordering from here again. Spinny, no cheese, extra mushrooms with pineapple is a vegans must!
Incredible place! Great gluten free and vegan options, I am celiac and called in beforehand and they take good precautions with the gluten free pizzas (using a separate space to prepare it, placing it on parchment in the pizza oven, and …
Best takeout pizza in town
Quality food, good services
Fabulous pizza. Seriously fabulous. Vegan gluten free options and beyond tasty. Service is exceptional. Yummy
Best Pizza in town. Fresh ingredients, amazing assortment and fantastic customer service either pick up or delivery! Thanks :)
Always great pizza, with fresh ingredients.
Stopped a fight between a couple girls while I was in there. I was then told to leave by the employees after I broke it up. I wouldn't recommend
We had a long day of exploring Nanaimo and felt like hanging out at our hotel with a pizza. So happy we decided on Mambo! The pizzas were all so unique and it was great to be able to get a 1/2 & 1/2 to try out different flavours. Ended up with the Mambo Special and Donair which were both a huge hit!
Less than 1. Not for pizza. Quality of service under COVID June 2020. Long time customer experienced argumentative , combative order taker. I can live with slightly less quality pizza for a more positive experiwnce
Mambo's pizza is integral to the downtown night life experience! Dont forget the sweet garlic sauce!!
I've ordered here a dozen times now. 99% accurate and 100% phenomenal tasting pizza. Dough isn't too thick or to thin. Generous amount of toppings. 18inch for the pizza fanatics that cost about as much as others 15inch larges. Crew is amazing and fast, it's like the staff actually want to be there, probably due to great ownership. They also have a large selection and some unique flavors. Jalapeno Popper pizza is my personal favorite. Only suggest moving into a nicer location and franchising. I would franchise one of these for sure.
Best pizza in town, why not grab a slice for lunch and get a haircut next door!

First time ordering. The pizza was good really enjoyed the fresh taste and polite service.

Amazing
Best pizza in Nanaimo.
Its a great little shop. The price's aren't cheep, but its worth it. The toppings and bread is top quality.
Top notch pizza. Everything about this place is high quality. I recommend the overdose.
Unfortunately, have to downgrade my rating for Mambo's from 5 to 1 stars, after our last two orders. One was about two weeks ago, the last one was tonight (October 13th). Still tasted good but BOTH orders had (in each large pizza) a long, human hair firmly embedded in the crust!!! Beyond gross.???????? The first time, we phoned back, they apologized and brought a replacement pizza and we chalked it up to a one time issue. But this second time, unacceptable! This should not have happened again. ???? Obviously, someone is working there and not taking necessary steps to keep their hair out of the food. Too bad, but hygiene has to be taken seriously when it comes to any food preparation. And very hard to enjoy any meal when something like this happens, especially twice in such a short period of time. XXXXXXX PS...In reply to the owners comments about hairs in pizza, we DID offer to return the first pizza but driver who came back with replacement pizza the first time said to, " keep it, they don't want it back" . I even kept the contaminated pizza slice in the fridge for a couple of days after that, in case someone called and still wanted to check this out personally. No one from your restaurant called so I eventually threw it out. Once should have been more than enough to realize that this was a serious hygiene issue that needed to be addressed. Not our problem, yours! It was sickening enough to bite into a hair the first time. The second time, I was just disgusted and didn't want to bother with a replacement or further discussions. We were loyal customers and never expected something like this to happen but it did, twice. I don't remember ever having something like this happen, at any other restaurant, anywhere. In that regard, we've been lucky. This should be a learning experience for you. Don't try to turn it around that somehow this is something we should have handled better. You've got a lot of nerve even implying this. ......................... My previous 5 star review from a couple of years ago EXCELLENT pizza and the 18 inch is huge!!! We had the Popeye with spinach and assorted veggies and it was amazing. Crust was great, lots of toppings, this place takes pizza to a whole new level. Delivery was fast and the driver was very nice too.
Absolutely the best pizza in Nanaimo! The donair garlic sauce for dipping is delicious! Lots of favourite pizzas: Jalapeño popper, Mando Pesto, bacon burger deluxe, too many to list!
We order regularly from Mambos and their pizzas are always excellent. We've tried most places in town and Mambos are the best we've found. Also, super-friendly staff.
The best by-the-slice pizza you can get in Nanaimo at 2 am. Bring you're appetite cause you'll want to have more than one slice!
Great Pizza. Great Staff.
Biggest pizza in town
Great spot for a slice, and open late
They been in Nanaimo forever for a reason
Always good pizza! Friendly service.
Dinner
Classic spot for Pizza
Hey. Gluten free the best. The rest suck thick dough. His place is a must
Amazing pizza. Absolutely worth the extra cost
Always a five star slice. Especially the four cheese.
Delish vegan pizza! Love coming here when visiting Nanaimo. Friendly atmosphere and quality pies.
Amazing local pizza! Good customer service on the phone & allergy aware
Wonderful pizza! Artful original creations such as my personal favorite jalepino popper! Always hot and never an off day! I Always make sure my guests from out of town get a slice! 10/10 would recommend!
We love Mambos! We come here once or twice a week for slices at lunch and all the staff recognize us. They know I only eat vegetarian and will rush to get one in the oven if there isn't any already there. Always friendly, great humoured service and the pizza is freaking delicious.
one of the best pizza joints anywhere
My kids tried five-dollar slice and pop combo and loved pizza crest, that was very flavorful.
Excellent, not many places are open late, and coming in from Vancouver I was pleasantly surprised! I like with how clean the place was and how fresh the slices were. The pizza was excellent, filling and delicious, I wish more places in Vancouver were like this!
Sorry guys, but no excuse to close early on a Tuesday, best pizza in town, not sure if you understand the disappointment of being told no at 8:20 on a Tuesday when you guys are supposed to close at 9, guess I'll try little ceasers, they next on the list.
Mambo Pizza is my absolute favourite! Their pizzas are HUGE and taste incredible! So yummy, my favourite is the bacon burger pizza. And supporting a strong (and generous) local business is great for our community!
Great pizza, probably the best in Nanaimo!!
One of the best place to have vegetarian pizza. Ambience is soothing. Staff is nice.
By far the best pizza! It is all about the crust and Mambos has the best crust. Stopped in to get a few pizzas for a late night check in for camping. Raved about the pizza to my out of town friends and they did not disappoint. Love that you can order an XL pizza and be able to get 4 different types on 1 pizza.
Always a great place to grab a slice or two
A very good pizza, I love how big the XL pizza is. They should offer a thin crust pizza.
This pizza establishment has withstood the tests of time and continues to create mind blowingly delicious pizza pies! Don't forget to ask for the sweet garlic sauce on the side
Best pizza this side of NS
Crazyyyyy!!! Sooo good !!! Best pizza in nanaimo !
Yummy midnight snacks!
Mambos pizza is the best. I can honestly say that I've never had better. Go there forsure.
Great pizza, great price for the sizes, fast service, easy to navigate menu with more than enough options. Best value around.
Best pizza in town
Good pizza, but quite expensive.
Great Pizza!! Just give yourself another 20 mins in our wonderful parking filled downtown core if you're picking up. They get busy and it seems pick ups fall behind deliveries
Big slices and great after bar go to!
Best Pizza in Nanaimo, fresh ingredients, fast delivery, person taking orders helpful & polite...
We placed a timed delivery order. Our order arrived on time, hot and fresh. Mambo's pizza goes above and beyond not only in the quality of their product, but also in customer service. Kudos to Mambo's pizza! Everything was tasty. I highly recommended this place.
If you go by try the Hangover, It is the gold standard
The BEST pizza in town. Friendly people. Will be a regular!
Best pizza in Nanaimo. Plus they do pizza by the slice. If you're not going to Mambos then you're just playing yourself. The absolute opposite of vile!
Two slices and I'm out!! Freaking great pizza walking distance downtown. Even got hot sauce to squirt on my pizza!! Good times!!!
Some of the best pizza in Nanaimo, great ingredients and a huge variety of options. I love that they always have fresh slices ready to go.
Lots of my peeps told me about this dope pizza place downtown, so i picked up some weed from 19+ Cannabis and walked down the street to this place and picked up a large pizza for munchies...SO HAPPY I DID! I was like I want a large pizza, the dude was like We got Extra Large Pizzas, I was like FLY! CHEESEBURGER PIZZA! Did the trick real good! Can't wait to try another one!
Some of the best pizza I've ever had. I like to stop in for a single slice from time to time. Generous size slice...with generous toppings...and fair price!
Great customer service and one of the best pizza's in town!
Great pizza, little expensive but fresh ingredients and vegan options more than make up for the high price
Such good service, prices and quality.
Had a large half Kahuna/Mambo special and it was dynamite! I eat pizza all the time and even make my own dough and this place makes some killer dough. Toppings are high quality. Highly recommend this place.
Always good pizza, at a good price. Friendly staff, good service.
Friendly staff, excellent food and ingredients
The closest to god I have ever felt. The crust has crunch without being hard and the crust is soft on the inside with a beautiful shell. The sauce is tomato and spiced, and the toppings are beautifully arranged with incredible combinations. Mambos makes me thank my parents for giving me life.
Grabbed an XL tonight for the game. Thumbs up from everyone. Great pizza!
The taste of the pizza was average. A bit too oily for my taste.
I live in Vancouver, I can truly say, this is the best pizza in BC. Come Vancouver, please. (North Van specifically ;)
Fantastic pizza in downtown. We need one in Vancouver and other parts of Nanaimo if there aren't any already.
One of the best pizza joints on Vancouver island. No, it’s not traditional Italian-style, but it’s the best at what it does and has always done that exceedingly well.
Best pizza I ever tasted. Ever. My personal favourites are the Yonge Street, and the Cook's Special pizzas. Soooo good. These are quality pizza. Fresh quality ingredients yield superior pizzas. The best!
Personable staff and best local pizza in town!
Awesome pizza, didn't realize that they deliver to North Nanaimo!
Best Pizza in Nanaimo, friendly staff, well priced menu, generous toppings. Highly Recommended.
I've that you can get 4 types on the extra large! Lots of variety. Found the app finicky to use for online ordering.
Slice of Pizza.. Worth of price
Pizza was very burnt
Always love mambos. They need to bring a mambos to the comox valley. Pleaseeeee
I don't always order pizza, but when I do I prefer Mambo's. Stay hungry my friends.
This place is amazing. The pizza is always fresh, especially at 2:00 a.m. :)
Love their pizza
Best pizza in town
The Pizza was good in taste. Took 'The Weekend'. Friendly staff and quick service. Only one problem, ordered 2 cans of diet coke and they gave us Dr. Pepper's, they did not inform us that they are out the coke and will give us Dr. Pepper's instead.
98+ minutes for an over priced pizza does not sit well with me. I am more than pleased to pay for quality but I am no longer sure there is any kind of quality coming out of this store. Super disappointed
Only eaten here twice but they have great vegan options. We’re vegan friendly years before most other pizza places and I appreciate that!
Best pizza in Nanaimo, hands down! ????????
best pizza in Nanaimo!
Best pizza place HANDS DOWN!! Customer service is top notch considering the customers they receive after the bar closes !!
In my experience, Mambo pizza has a track record of on-time delivery of high quality pies. These pizzas have a very home made taste and are apparently made of high quality ingredients. Recommended.
Great pizza
Great pizza at a reasonable price, they also make gluten free vegan pizzas, my daughter says they are fab! My favorite is the Montréal pizza... Maybe because that's where I'm from.. I order the jumbo and I have leftovers to take to work...
My order was taken by someone who had no idea what they were up to. Gave it more time than they estimated for delivery (60-75 mins) Waited it out 2 hours; no call, and no delivery. Too bad. Looks like a decent product, but a poorly run business.
Mambo is hands-down the best pizza in Nanaimo - second in my books only to John's of Bleecker Street Pizza in NYC (and I consider myself to be something of a pizza connoisseur). Papa John's is always good quality - their sauce in particular rocks - but overall it doesn't come close to "The Big M." Might I recommend their Hangover pizza with a few brews? Big joy. PS - Anyone who says Mambo is pricey is better served getting one of those cardboard Ziggy's pizzas out of Superstore. That's more their speed. Mambo ain't cheap, but it's not terribly expensive either. And the cheese is 100% real. And the ingredients are top-flight. Want cheap? Go Ziggy's or Dr O. Want awesome? Go Mambo.
Delicious pizza in downtown Nanaimo!
Delicious pizza, generous with the toppings, came HOT and fast! Fantastic unique pizza place.
Great choice of toppings.
Great pizza ❤️
Good pizza
Love Mambo's pizza creations. Always makes for a great, affordable late night snack. Pull up a stool and watch the night life, or take your za to go.
The best pizza in town, hands down. The dough they make is bomb. Mambos even made me a "GME" pizza. Clearly, they like the stock and you like the pizza. GME to Pluto!
???? ????????
They really tried with the gluten-free crust, but it's just... not good. Pros: It's thicker and more dough-like than the thin GF crusts that can be like cardboard. Cons: It's REALLY doughy. Despite being cooked it had an extremely gluey texture and was weirdly salty. I tried to like it, but nah. Toppings were great!
best drunk pizza u will ever have believe me
Good price and good food
Best gluten free pizza!!! The crust was so delicious!!! I couldn’t believe it was gluten free. My 8 year old son could finally enjoy pizza!!
Absolutely my favorite pizza in Nanaimo.
My LORD the best gosh darn pizza, sent straight from heaven! I honestly have never had a better pie in my life. The crust is delightful, the toppings are of the best quality! The types of pizza's you can get are so unique and tasty, It's making my mouth water as i type this! Order from Mambos and you'll never order from another place ever again.
I will only get my Pizza from Mombos.
Good pizza and prices.
The hangover and veggie are awesome, loaded with toppings, tons of cheese very filling Always stop in for a couple of slices and a cherry Dr. Pepper always a treat
Best in town.
Great pizza, order it all the time. However I'm getting sick of their asking to be tipped when I pay for it. Seriously tacky folks. And no, it's not a covid protocol, rather you are using covid as an exuse to ask that question. Just makes me mad. No one else does that. Update April 2020: They still do this, ask for a tip. Again, NO ONE does this! STOP IT! Studies have shown that COVID spreads 99% by air, NOT through surface contact. So just give the terminal to customers and they will decide whether to tip. If you are really concerned, just wrap it in plastic wrap.
Pizza. Eat it.
Excellent customer service, quick delivery, convenient business hours, reasonable price, but most important of all the pizza is Simply Amazing hands-down down best pizza place in town
Best pizza in town bar none. No one comes close.
Love the pizza, especially the crust, but really wish they offered some plant based meats. My partner is a vegetarian and the vegetarian pizzas could be better in flavour combinations. So we always get the same or similar custom 3 topping pizza and we're both feeling pretty meh about it by now. The veggie combinations on the menu arent that inspired either. I don't want to have to order from Panago when I really want Mambo's pizza! Ive started to recreate some topping combinations offered at The Joint in Victoria because their veggie pizzas tends to be fantastic, when ordering now. They try some creative things because the world doesn't need another lame "Mediterranean" or a "Greek" pizza. Not that Mambo's offering is necessarily limited to that. The Pesto Popeye is probably Mambo's best here but I really think it's take time for a partnership with a producer to get some plant-based meaty goodness and more flavour on those pizzas. Very Good Butchers perhaps? Also Beyond's italian sausage works great. I use it all the time when making pizza at home. I'd happily pay a little extra for that. Edit: thanks for the response, however I did contact your business directly a good year ago by now about your vegetarian pizza offerings through your feedback form on your website. I never heard back and that's fine. You definitely don't have to be a vegan restaurant to make great vegetarian pizza. The Joint is a great example of this (at least it used to be, last I had it) as is Pizza Garden in Van and many others. The 3-star review was not an act of vengeance but how we perceive your vegetarian pizzas, which are on your menu, therefore yours to improve. I didn't make them up. 90% of what I order from you is vegetarian so my review is based on that. We still order pizza regularly from you and your delivery drivers still get a minimum 20% tip from me. So letting me know of what you're working on and how you're planning to expand your offerings are all great things, defensive responses to loyal customers not so much.
After a long day, checking into a hotel and a juniper mambo pizza was just the ticket. Estimate was 45 m and it was pretty much bang on. Delivery guy was friendly and pizza was hot and delicious. Pizza, a beer and some playoff hockey was just what I needed Not sure if ill pass by this area any time soon, but I'd order from Mambo again with no hesitation. Thank you Mambo!
Super tasty, and gluten-friendly options! The pizza itself packs a lot of bang for its buck; the toppings are plentiful, and service is fast and accurate. Recommend the bbq or mambo masala for unique, bold flavors ;)
The pizza I got was nice and hot and so delicious. I was impressed.
Consistently the best damn pizza in town, and always has been. Nobody’s “stepped up their game”; they didn’t have to. Maybe Sara should put away her petty vendetta.
Yummy
Best place to get a vegan pizza gluten free on Vancouver Island.
Love their Pizza! Especially the Cheeseburger bacon pizza!
Great pizza and great supporters of community.
If there is any one reason the I go to downtown Nanaimo it's Mambo's. They are my benchmark for pizza, and very rarely do any other pizza joints surpass Mambo's. Definitely none are as consistently awesome. This is going back decades; hard partying at the Queens, then a delicious slice sitting at their counter window watching the after-bar festivities.
I'm gluten free and vegetarian. The pizza was really good and fluffy. Nice crust!
Such great pizza, friendly staff, and quick delivery. I highly recommend these guys!
Last night my fiance and I ordered from Mambos, half Bacon Burger and half Jalapeno Popper pizza. The pizza was exactly what we were craving, and we couldn't forget the Sweet sauce! Absolutely delicious!! Thank you for the quick service and for delivering to the North end. Great local business and great staff????❤
Pizza was ready exactly when promised and was fantastic. Generous toppings, great sauce and awesome crust. Will definitely be back!
No matter the time or day, prompt service and hot food. Never had a bad experience it's a staple for me
Always a smiley staff when we go late Sat nite!
Don't know what they add to their dough, but it's delicious!
Love the veggie pizza ????
Dinner
The pizza wa sooooo good! Perfect ratio of cheese, topping and crust. ????
Definitely one of, if not the best, pizza place in Nanaimo. Locally owned and operated and I’ve seen them cutting up fresh vegetables and cooking their own bacon etc. in house. Their prices online including tax and delivery and are surprisingly affordable for such good quality pizza. I love that you can get four different kinds of toppings on their extra large pizzas or go in store and buy them by the slice. I highly recommend them, you wouldn’t disappointed.
Consistently Nanaimo's best locally owned pizza. Great for a last minute business lunch delivery, but just as good for a late nightlife snack. By the slice, full pizza, gluten free, dairy free, and more.
Best pizza in town!!!!
Best gluten free pizza I've had in along time!!! I really appreciate the staff taking the time for making the gluten free. It's been along time since having a pizza! God bless ????
Always fantastic! I drive over 45 minutes to have Mambos pizza because it is the BEST.
One of the best Pizza place in town...Delicious "Mambos Masala" our fav <3
Never had a bad slice of pizza here.
Funky, cool, eatery, with soul. Beautiful pizzas, made with fresh ingredients, and created with care - you can eat in, order a delivery via phone, or online, with drivers being fast to deliver.
This place rocks it's is the number 1 place to have great tasting pizza
Meal type
So good! I would 100% recommend
Best pizza in town!
Courteous service & delicious pizza. Anyone who disagrees, especially that one clown who left a bad review, needs to visit the proctologist to have an invasive object removed from their lower tract.
The best ????
Pizza was a good, it's a little salty, but the tables and floors were dirty.
Nice little find on my part. Glad I didn't order Dominos or Panagos. 4 cheese pizza is quite amazing
The pizza is always excellent! You can't get a better slice absolutely anywhere in Nanaimo. The staff is friendly and the toppings are fresh. I have even fallen in love with their gluten free version! As a non-celiac and someone who thinks most gluten free products are flakey and bland, even I, think the crust and cheese are absolutely yummy!
Hands down best pizza in the area. Banana popper is my favourite and unique to Mambo's. For how popular they are it's amazing that they manage to keep very reasonable prices and wait times. I don't bother getting pizza anywhere else anymore.
From out of town, hotel desk person recommended. Excellent choice.
My review would be alot hight because there pizza is really something great but I was so mistreated by there delivery driver and don't want him here again but other than that very well made pizza would definitely recommend
Best pizza in town hands down.
BEST pizza in Nanaimo
The best damn pizza I've had to date! Great prices and quality ???? We got the XL Santa Fe with spicy beef and it fed us for 3 days ????????
Placed order and paid online before 9pm, estimated arrival time an hour later. Two hours later, no pizza, no call, and no way to contact them since they close at 10. Edit in response: No one/nothing enjoyed it because it ended up in the green bin after being left outside overnight by a delivery person who ignored delivery instructions, left it in a weird location, and made no attempt at contacting me when they arrived. This was the fourth time delivery instructions (leave by the mailbox and call or text when it's dropped) were ignored by Mambos drivers. I never left a negative review in the past because at least they managed to get it to me after disturbing the other unit. Unfortunately it doesn't really matter how good the pizza is when the delivery service is so terrible.
Great pizza, simple but excellent crust.
Always a great choice, I’ve been buying their pizza over 20 years and it’s consistently good. Tonight my Santa Fe spicy was as good as it has ever been, thanks you guys!
Love this pizza!
A bit pricey but great, very fresh and generous toppings. The cooks are friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. Watch out for the mentally ill homeless protecting their turf nearby.
I have no idea how this place won best pizza in Nanaimo.
Always fresh and delicious
Best pizza by far in Nanaimo. Delivery is always fast and the pizza is always hot and loaded with toppings. Staff is excellent and always friendly.
The best gluten-free vegan pizza I’ve ever had. The crust, *chef’s kiss*. The staff went above and beyond to fix their mistake on our order.
Wonderful pizza, soft and delicious! Flexible and generous with toppings and delightfully monstrous pizza sizes. Quick and friendly service, would absolutely recommend!
Delicious pizza.
We loved it
One of the best pizza by the slice in Nanaimo. Full pizza are still reasonably priced. Great selection and fast service.
I love Mambos pizza, but bad parking.
Best place in townto grab a slice
Absolutely awesome pizza
We ❤your pizza for a late snack on the walk home from downtown. However we went by tonight @ 10:50 and you were long gone ???? we had to order from somewhere else.
Unreal, massive pizzas for a really fair price; great pizzas.
Service
Best pizza in Nanaimo
Best pizza in Nanaimo, hands down. Or hands up, whatever you prefer.
Definitely my first choice.
The pizza was Delishious
Love the flavors.. jalapeno popper was the bomb!!
Best pizza in Nanaimo by far!
The pizza is bangin'. Really good. Pretty poor time estimates but who am I to judge????????♂️
Biggest pizza I’ve ever had
Good pizzas
Mambo's is absolutely fantastic, and is deservedly the best pizza in town. I also really like that if you live close enough that they don't even charge a delivery fee! This isn't to say they're issue-free. Twice in a row when online ordering that they have forgotten the dips with the order. They have thankfully rectified this on both occasions. The first time they sent a driver by, the second they didn't do anything immediate, but did say that I could get one on my next order which they have fulfilled. One should also be prepared for extensive wait times, upwards of 2 hours. It is difficult to contact them should it take longer than expected or for any other issue, they usually aren't taking calls in my experience.
Good pizza high prices
We ordered from Mambo Gourmet Pizza when we stayed at Coast Bastion for my friend 's dance recital. Can we say delicious! We ordered the Cook's Special (peperoni, mushrooms, mozzarella and bacon) and it was sooo good! There was so much bacon, like actual big pieces of bacon all over and the crust was amazing! We found the prices fair and well worth it. We will definitely order again!
A must stop anytime your near Nanaimo. Amazing pizza
