I first tried Mother Kelly’s when they participated in a fundraiser for Officer Patricia Espinosa — and WOW, I am so glad I did.

This place is truly a hidden gem tucked behind Sunrise Highway. We ordered the broccoli rabe pie with sausage and it was absolutely incredible. Every bite was packed with flavor.

On top of that, the staff generously surprised us with extra mini parm sandwiches and garlic rolls — and yes, those were AMAZING too.

Thank you, Mother Kelly’s, not only for serving outstanding food but for giving back to a meaningful cause. It’s clear you’re more than just a restaurant — you’re community-oriented and genuinely generous.

Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You won’t regret it.

Mother Kelly’s food is fantastic and has been since their full restaurant days in Cedarhurst! Their Balsamic Chicken can not be beaten! Their Spinach pizza can not be beaten! Ordered food on Valentines Day for the family and everyone loved it! I strongly recommend trying another Kelly’s!!! You will not regret it!!!!!!

A perfect hole-in-the-wall slice of heaven. I drive across town all the time to come here for the delicious pizza, pasta, and garlic knots. I am never disappointed. Their infectious smile when you walk in their store is something that is missing nowadays. Very generous with portions. 10/10 experience every time.

I have used Mother Kelly’s several times recently to cater holidays and family get- togethers. Their menu is massive, but every item I’ve ordered so far has been bursting with flavor, clearly made with quality ingredients and plenty of love. To mention a few outstanding items, loved by all: penne alla vodka, chicken meatballs, penne with sausage and broccoli rabe, chicken parm, braised ribs, pot roast. When you order catering size dishes, you are sent home with extra sauces for all of these dishes. Their pizzas are fantastic too— the spinach pie is amazing!
What really sets this place apart is the consistency. With such a huge menu, you’d expect a few misses, but everything I’ve tried has been outstanding.
The owners are super nice and accommodating to special requests. If you love Italian food—or just love good food—do yourself a favor and order from here. You won’t be disappointed!

We ordered delivery from Mother Kelly’s in Rockville Centre on a football Sunday. Already a bold move on one of the busiest food days of the week. My dad has been hyping this place up forever, so the pressure was on… but they absolutely crushed it.

The fried calamari deserves its own shoutout. It came in a metal container with no cover, placed inside a paper bag…genius move!! It stayed crispy, not the slightest bit soggy, which never happens with delivery calamari.

Then came the wings… easily the biggest I’ve ever seen. Meaty, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. These things were like mini drumsticks.

We also got the roasted eggplant hero, which was loaded and packed with flavor, and a chicken Caesar salad that was huge, we couldn’t even finish it because there was just so much food across the board.

Everything arrived hot, fresh, and faster than expected. When a restaurant exceeds expectations and delivers like this during football season?! That’s when you know you found something special.

We’re already planning our next order. Mother Kelly’s just earned us as loyal customers.

Highly recommend!!

$9.00 for 2 rubbery slices is insane.

This place is great! Some of the best pizza in the area and they have great dinner meals as well.

Mark and the other owners always make you feel like family when you walk in the door. The food is always cooked to perfection and the portion sizes are massive.

They have a variety of specialty slices that are all top notch, but the creamed spinach slice is like no other. I highly recommend you visit the family down at Mother Kelly's.

Absolutely outstanding! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting and can tell it’s a family owned environment. The staff was very attentive and the food here is very flavorful and fresh. Make sure to order the balsamic chicken or try the creamed spinach slice ! If you’re looking for something on the lighter side try the hot and cold salad with seared Tuna! Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food !

“ Mother Kelly’s” is an excellent restaurant, whose owners, exceed themselves, providing wonderful, tasty dishes, with an attitude, to please.
They also, are generous, in their portions, and, give extra items, not ordered, as a token, of their gratitude, for your patronage.
Glen’s salads, are creatively put together.
I, personally, love, the “ Naked”, and, “ The Hot, and Cold”, salads.
The filet of sole, stuffed, with spinach, and bread crumbs, over a bed of linguine, is, superb.
I also like the eggplant meatballs, being a vegetarian.
The creamed spinach pizza, is delicious.
What stands out, what makes this restaurant unique, are the owners, who succeed in providing, a variety, of wonderful food choices, with the unique desire, to please, each, and every customer, whether dining in, or having the food delivered.
I highly recommend “ Mother Kelly’s”.

Absolutely delicious! Ordered penne alla vodka and chicken marsala tonight,with a small house salad. The portion sizes were tremendous, enough for 4-6 people. The penne alla vodka was creamy and perfectly cooked. The marsala sauce was imcredible--creamy and earthy with a generous amount of thickly sliced mushrooms. The order arrived with a cup of rice pudding, a pint of 3-bean salad, an order of garlic knots and a whole loaf of garlic bread, all free. Fantastic food, amazing customer service! Mother Kelly's gets all the stars!
