Very delicious pizza. Perfect for thin crust lovers like myself. Just a fair warning, it's pretty greasy so if that upsets you....And you MUST try the mozzarella sticks. They are probably the best I've ever had.

The person that took our order was not friendly. When waiting in line customers were asking him for help and he looked like he was getting annoyed by everyone. Table and floors were dirty. We ordered pizza and it wasn't that great.

Their pizza is some of the best on the east side. It is also excellent from the fridge the next day. The chicken wings are also a hit in my family. The garlic knots were OK. I’m still waiting to try their pasta.

My wife and I stopped by for a quick bite and ended up loving everything — this place totally exceeded expectations!
🍕 The NY-style slices were HUGE, crispy on the bottom, and packed with flavor. The BBQ chicken pizza was smoky and sweet, while the Hawaiian had the perfect balance of savory ham and juicy pineapple.
🧄 The garlic knots were soft, buttery, and came with a tasty marinara dip — a must-order side!
🍺 Plus, the self-pour beer wall is such a fun touch. Easy to sample, chill, and enjoy at your own pace.
Staff was friendly, service was quick, and for the portion size and quality, it was seriously a great deal.
We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

Some people have really strong opinions on pizza, similar to those who have strong opinions about bagels. I would place myself at mild to moderately opinionated on the topic. I used to eat at blaze across the street, and then Mama’s moved in from its prior location up the street. Now blaze tastes like trash to me. I have fully converted to Mama’s and you can’t change me. It’s a solid slice of pizza. It has all the things you would love in a reliable slice. Thin crispy crust, a sauce that doesn’t try to steal the show, cheese. The toppings are on top where they’re supposed to be. They have a lot of beer. It’s probably good if you like beer. The only complaint I have is that once i called to place an order and i had to listen to the pre-recorded message with a person spelling out the website. Noting feels more like a slow death than someone spelling out a website. But that’s irrelevant and has more to do about me than about pizza. Go to Mama’s pizza because it’s pizza that belongs to Mama. Go to Mama’s pizza because it’s better than Dominos, who strays further away from God every passing year. I really like the Margherita, it’s got a lot of garlic. I had the mushroom once and I was like “woah, this a lot of mushrooms.” You’d prop love it if you’re into mushrooms.
