I'm not a big fan of pizza but sometimes you crave for that thin crusted tasty bite. This place has been here for a while and I can't believe that my hubby never brought me here before. Love that we have a place like this in town where we can grab a quick bite to eat while shopping in the... more
The pizza is always great and they even offer gluten free (however only one size) and dairy free options. The only concern is that we had ordered a gluten free/dairy free pizza and when I went to pick it up they had not made it on a gluten free crust. Luckily we are not celiac and the manager, after much... more
I have been there with my husband and we loved it. Amazing pizzas! Excellent pineapple pizza, cozy atmosphere, helpful stuff. Must try!
Were looking for a place to eat in Nanaimo and read the reviews. The pizza was great and the service was outstanding. We out the in the restaurant and while it is very basic the attentiveness of the staff was appreciated. The tables are on the smaller size and without asking two tables were moved together. Next time we are... more
I have purchased Mambo's pizza several times now, and I am still blown into pizza heaven every time. I always get the extra large pizza's that you can pick 4 different slices (varieties) of pizza all in one pie. Every flavor I have tried has been amazing (and I have tried most of them now). Def a great feature of... more
We were on the ferry looking at reviews and decided to give Mambos a go. Glad we did! The crust on this pizza was amazing-nice and crunchy. We had a house special and tried the chicken Marsala. Really enjoyed the house pizza but the Marsala had a spice I just wasn't that fond of. My wife however loved that pizza... more
Let's face it. The place is a dump and in a crummy location with some sketchy customers at times but all of that is forgotten when you taste their wonderful pizza. It is certainly the best I have had in Nanaimo. The staff is friendly as well. This place is a good bet. Cheers
We enjoy the pizza here especially late at night. This restaurant is close to the bar downtown. Great local place to go.
Great pizza!!!! wonderful fresh flavours with home made quality. M-M-M It is close for us walking from Gabriola Island BUT feels like we are going out to the big city.
Been eating Mambo's Pizza since 1994 and gees wishes I would be in town right at this moment to have a slice. Keep on the good work
Their pizzas are always really good and their delivery is FAST. They are located in the downtown area, but will deliver to north Nanaimo fairly cheaply. Imaginative and tasty vegetarian options, as well.
We're new to Nanaimo and only indulge occasionally,so my review can't be considered expert..but I am a bit of a "foodie",so here goes.We think Mambo's pizza is divine! I love the way they chop up the toppings.They are fine textured so the flavours are nicely distributed.It makes eating a slice easy and elegant(if one can say that about pizza).Also it... more
Is it the best pizza I've had? No. Is it the best pizza in Nanaimo, yes, in BC, likely, and it gives Canada a run for its money. Inventive and convenient with always a bit of tongue in cheek service who cares if its 25 cents more then Dominoes, because they give you a world class slice when you're drunk... more
My family is a big fan of Mambo. A lot of topping, crusty dough and yummy dip!! Mambo save me from cooking every weekend. Especially I love their very veggie.
Call u back on Saturday night!!:)
I used to get the 4 cheese pizza with the Ranch Dip - - amazing!!! It is definitely the best pizza in the City of Nanaimo!
This place great for a quick bite when you're on the run downtown, friendly staff always super yummy pizza! The large pizza is the biggest in town.
This is pretty much the only thing open when the bars close downtown, but I'll never complain because its always exactly what I crave after hitting the clubs. You always get a giant slice, it's just the perfect amount of greasy crust meets toppings and it's cheap. There's usually room for a table of 8 or more if you go... more
The overdose is certainly my guilty pleasure, with real bacon chunks, banana peppers, pepperoni, and feta.
If you visit late at night on the weekends, enjoy the entertainment provided by drunken revelers as they stumble out of the Queen's and devour Mambo's yummy 'za.
They deliver too.
Because we live outside of the delivery area on this one, we don't get to order from here often. When we do, this is some of the best pizza in the city. Fresh ingredients, amazing crust, and giant slices keep us coming back. Also many of their specialties are not available anywhere else, making for an original experience. Try the... more
The place is very basic, it serves the party on Sat night crowd downtown, the Pizza is really good, and a slice has a fair price. If you are really lucky -- like my last midnight visit -- some tart came up to the windows and pulled up her top to flash her ex-bf. But if not at least the... more
We recently stopped here while on vacation on Vancouver Island. It was Saturday night about 8 PM and Nanaimo was NOT hopping. Many restaurants were closed and downtown was vacant. We were hungry and desperate for something quick and easy, although not fast food. We ordered a large veggie pizza (split between the Spinny and Veggie Delight (they will do... more
By far the best pizza I have ever had. Unique crust flavour makes this pizza different from all the rest.
Can be bought by the slice, rare to find in this town, or by the whole. They will even 1/2 or 1/4 the type of pizza on the large.
Value for dollar is exceptional.
My only complaint is that they...

Been ordering pizzas for awhile from mambo. The customer service experience is defined by who answers the phone. My last experience was a disaster that resulted in a rude employee hanging up on me twice.
Guess we won't be eating or doing the mambo anymore.
Sad...

Nothing to dislike. The pizza is made fresh to order; you can have it by the slice or whole pizzas; it is extremely affordable and delicious!!!
Most likely the best pizza in Nanaimo, super friendly staff and although I have only eaten the veggie pizza it has been killer every time.
I love mambos pizza...tons to choose from....very friendly,on time delivery...interac is a dollar at your door...friendly drivers. Big slices too!
food is perfect the owners are very cool people. Open late and custom pizza is always welcome. They will make you anything you want. Perfect service.
good pizza, fairly cheap, fast
good place to go after the bar, or during, etc
pizza slices are large aswell
Only ever eaten at Mambo's post clubbing. The pizza always seems to be great! Good service, too, considering they have to put up with all the drunks after last call.
According to the people who've tried it sober that I've talked to, yes, Mambo's is just as great sober.
Try the four cheese pizza. You'll be glad you did.
This pizza is the best. On their toppings, they give you a lot. Also made with real mozzeralla cheese. The pizza comes in two sizes., 14" an 18" The owner is from Montreal. We get delivery alot...Or you go by and pick up a slice..
Take out pizzas come in large or extra-large. There are a variety of toppings and the pizzas really do taste great. By the slices pieces is large and cost $3.75 each including tax. My only complaint is that they don't always have a Hawaiian on the go!
Mambo's has long been a favourite in downtown Nanaimo. The pizza is awesome! They've got great flavour combinations and excellent service. It used to always just be for after the bar, but they actually deliver!! Sooo good! You will NOT be disappointed... best pizza in town!
Best pizza hands down...made from scratch..reminds me of Montreal style pizza back home!
BIG slizes, lots of toppings and open late at night
good crusts,fresh topping slow service not a lot of special pizza
The pizza is cheap and loaded with toppings, some great combinations. It is certainly greasy, I think there's no denying that, but it's also pizza - this is not the first time pizza and grease have been bed fellows. An extra-large pizza comes with eight slices - one of which is very likely a serving and I doubt you can... more
Mambos makes the best pizza in town. They have an awesome selection of toppings, large vegetarian menu and their sweet garlic dipping sauce is amazing!
If this is the "best pizza" in Nanaimo as they advertise, it's too bad....Sorry, but I'd take a Panagos over this greasy-crust pan pizza...They give you lots of toppings though.... more
The Cook's Special is our favourite! Lots of toppings and a great crust.
We also love the choice of cheeses, the large selection of vegetarian options and the quick, friendly delivery service. Always tasty!
Best Pizza in town... Try the Montreal style... more
This place is not bad, , the pizza is pretty good, and the prices are good. Perfect place to grab a bite after you get outa the bar at night.
