Partner / General Manager, North Loop
With a degree in microbiology from UT Austin, Mario thought he had a sound direction for his career. But larger-than-life stories that his mother, Celia, craved only Pizza during her pregnancy and ate her way to an Italian first name for her son, predicted a different course: Mario was destined for the pizza business. A self-proclaimed good-times-aholic, Mario is drawn to the hospitality industry for the social aspects and the ability to touch so many different people’s lives. As the GM of Home Slice North Loop, he loves that he gets to throw a party every day at work, and also as a leader has the opportunity to inspire his team and teach them nuances to exceed expectations at every interaction. It’s important to Mario that everyone in the joint is having fun, customers and employees alike! When he isn’t recreating at the shop, you can usually find Mario fly fishing, bow hunting or listening to rap music, hobbies he plans on continuing well into his golden years.
