First time here. Pizza was ok. Mozzarella sticks were really good. But the chicken wings were fantastic! We will definitely be back for those.

Ordered a pizza and some sandwiches to go from here as I made my way down the coast. Was hoping for delivery to my motel but found out that they do not deliver on certain days but was happy to see that this information was on the website. Pizza is hand tossed. I like the crust a bit chewier but it was ok. Plenty of pepperoni. Pizza was ready in a reasonable amount of time Hoagies/sub sandwiches at just ok and no match for a real NJ or SE PA version Location is in the middle of a strip mall in an area with plenty of other amenities

I did an internet order and asked for two additional items (a side of blue cheese dressing and some paper plates). The order was prepaid so I wasn't sure if they would see my note. The order was perfect. The pizza was awesome. Thank you.

After being totally frustrated by another local pizza restaurant, I went online and ordered a Meditteranean pizza from Mama Lena's. Easy online ordering system, the pizza was ready when I got there fifteen minutes later, and it was one of be best pizza's I have ever eaten.

My family has been getting pizza from here since I moved to Stratham (20+ years ago). From this day forward no one in my family will ever order there again. I usually order pickup, but because I have been really sick the past week I decided to order delivery. I ordered just before 3:45 PM and it said the pizza would be delivered by 4:30. At 4:04 it said the pizza was on in transit. Around 4:45 I called as the pizza had not arrived and at that point I was worried the pizza would arrive cold. They told me they have no idea when the pizza will show up because they can't contact the driver. When I was responding back with questions and concerns about getting a cold pizza since the pizza was sent out for delivery and they couldn't give me any time frame of when it would come. I didn't want to pay $20 for a cold pizza (I had prepaid online). Anytime I asked what happens when it arrives cold, they just continued to repeat that they can't give me any estimated time of when the pizza will arrive and didn't actually answer my question. They didn't even bother to apologize and say I am sorry that the pizza has not arrived yet. Next, the worker just spoke over me to say bye and INTENTIONALLY HUNG UP ON ME when the conversation was very much not over and I was literally still talking. I called again and the owner decided to say deliveries can take up to two hours. How should a customer know that when there is an estimated delivery time given? Just seemed like an excuse. They also tried to say there was "inclement weather" when there were literally just a few flurries and the roads were completely clear. They were really just stretching for so many reasons why the pizza was not there. All this time they never once even said sorry. By the time the pizza did actually show up it was COLD and over 50 minutes since it had left the store. The delivery person actually said that they had to wait at the store for other pizzas to be made. So it was probably ready even more than 50 minutes previously. The owner on the phone said the driver didn't wait for other pizzas, which is clearly a LIE given that the delivery driver offered up contradicting information. Again, we don't normally order delivery from here. I have ordered there for over 20 years but the tone of voice and everything communicated really showed that Mama Lena's didn't care. I told them I was going to write this and they said fine go ahead. We will never order from there again (even for pickup) because of this.

2 grilled chicken salads for $26.00 disgusting chewy chicken with fat running through it, stale old lettuce and just all around nasty!! The worst part is the “manager/owner Tina” is rude and disrespectful she would not listen to my concerns, she kept interrupting and offered to “credit me half the money” not a refund because supposedly her register will not let her… I worked in retail for years that’s not at all true she just did not want to help she is rude and unprofessional and obviously does doesn’t care about her customers I would stay away Less than zero stars
I'm a deep dish pizza girl and their deep dish is so delicious. The best in the area. Very saucy and cheesy and toppings are plentiful. Staff and owners are very friendly as well.

I live around the area and I order online take out occasionally. Usually a plain pizza and Margherita. They alway made it right and it tasted great. My kids agreed this is one of the best pizza place around the area.

Ordered a cheeseburger dinner... paid $14.00 for cheeseburger and onion rings. The bread was stale. So they toasted it but you definitely could taste the stale. The burger was almost non existent. If you have had a cheeseburger at McDonald's lately... this is what the cheeseburger was like. I wanted a good burger that's why i stopped here. Easily could have gone to burger King which is conveniently located across the parking lot. Onion rings have the burnt oil taste.. they tasted frozen. A person who loves onion rings these were comparative to frozen onion rings... but burnt oil taste was hard to eat. The cashier was pleasant. Good knowledge with her job duties. Restraunt was clean. Probably would not venture here again when burger King is closer

Very clean, but cold restaurant. Seemed short staffed (and likely not their fault, so not lowering the rank for that, but service was very slow). Chicken park sub was breaded chicken fingers which had some really tough pieces...lots of sauce and cheese which was great! Sub roll on the Italian was overpowering and the sub underwhelming. Used to frequent this place when I worked in Stratham...mostly pizza then and I should have stuck with that...bet the pizza is still good.
Best pizza in Stratham!

I won’t again, seriously mediocre pizza for $$$.
