Mater's Pizza & Pasta Emporium

Great pizza and great service. This was or first visit to Mater' and we were NOT disappointed and we look forward to returning soon.

Recommended dishes: Bread Sticks with Cheese

A party of 4 ordered fried pickles for an appetizer; 1 large salad; 1 12” pizza and 1 chicken Parm sandwich. After asking 2 servers where our pickles were, we finally got them -cold - right before the pizza and salad came. We had to ask for napkins and silverware. The salad was small, not large. After the other 3 were halfway through eating, I asked f I could please get my sandwich! I did, and it was only medium hot.
It breaks our heart, but, after about 40 years, we won’t be back.

I have always loved this restaurant. Our experience today was awful. Waited forever for our food, which only arrived after another waitress went to see what the problem was. Food arrived cold. Chicken parm..2 orders of fettuccine alfredo...and a meatball sandwich. Also had two child's chicken fingers which were brought out 45 minutes before the other dishes. ..3 hours for a meal we couldn't eat...plenty of other options in Gadsden to pick from...This restaurant was always a good option..until today...

Wanted to try this place, but being unfamiliar with downtown Gadsden did not feel comfortable owing to the shifty looking characters loitering near the store front and door. Little too murdery looking.

Mater's is a fantastic place to go for pizza. We also love their fried mushrooms and fried pickles. The service is usually very good. You definitely never leave their hungry.

One of my favorite restaurants staff is very friendly and professional

We made a special trip driving 45 minutes to eat there. And we were seated quickly in one of the smaller rooms. We got our drinks & appetizer and we asked for additional dipping sauce for the appetizer. The service stopped there!! The waitress NEVER came back to the table.

50 minutes later no dipping sauce, no refills and no pizza! I had to get up, go find the waitress to tell her put it in a to go box! The focus was on the large parties for larger tips forgetting all customers should be taken care of equally, Very poor service, Until today's horrible service, I would have recommended this as a destination restaurant, but will not be going back. AGAIN, VERY POOR SERVICE!!

I love the old decor and age of this building. We had the side salads with the house made Italian dressing which was really good. We ordered the better girl pizza. Deep dish pizza with fresh quality toppings. They definitely have their own take on pizza it's not your traditional stuff. Its better than any of the chain pizza places out there. Plenty of cheese good sauce nice crunchy edges. Highly recommend.

This is written strictly as a buyer beware when ordering online**** We ordered a large pizza & 1 order of spaghetti online. We saw the price of the spaghetti online (almost $14.00) & was fine with it because it compares to other Italian restaurants in surrounding areas & those portions are always adequate for the price. We pickup our order & immediately open the bag, because it was extremely light & I thought something may be missing. Inside I saw a small piece of garlic bread wrapped in foil & the tin of spaghetti. I kid you not, the tin was between the size of a deck of cards & my husband’s short, square, basic fold wallet..& 2 inches deep….for $14.00. With our minds blown, my husband asked if this was the correct size we paid for or if we were missing a tin or 2??…”No, thats the size you get…but did you order the salad with it?” …to which my husband replied “No…it said salad was extra online…so my wife declined the salad”…the lady responded with “oh no, the salad comes with”… at this point my husband requested our money back for the spaghetti because no amount of a “side salad” could or ever will make up for the tiny portion size of the spaghetti. So if youre ordering online, beware before ordering anything other than pizza from this location.
