18 Feb Experience Galveston: Mario’s Seawall – The Joey

Have you experienced The Joey at Mario’s Seawall? During this segment on Experience Galveston, we’re making a stop at Mario’s Seawall Italian & Pizzeria, 628 Seawall Blvd., and hearing more about the Smecca family’s journey to Galveston and the secret behind The Joey pizza with owner Johnny Smecca.

The Joey is a Chicago-style pizza created by owner Joey Smecca who has a talent for recreating meals and adding his own spin to recipes. According to Johnny Smecca, the secret to good pizza and a great meal is the ingredients. Mario’s uses a family recipe for its dough, sauce and housemade Italian sausage for its popular The Joey. In addition to its pizza and popular Italian dishes, the restaurant offers housemade Gelato.
