We got there and were immediately sat. One server was taking care of the entire front of the house including bar tending. She was hustling and still provided great service. My wife ordered the Chicken Parm entree, i order Chicken Picatta over angel hair, Katy ordered Baked Ziti, Brody ordered a traditional Boli, and Karlea and Piper split a Chicken Basil Pesto Pizza. Our server unintentionally made an extra entree and asked us if we wanted it. It was ravioli Alfredo and we split it up between my daughters and wife. My son ordered a traditional boli which was large that came with a bowl of red sauce. Their red sauce is outstanding! Halfway through he asked for more red sauce and she delivered a new bowl quickly. Always a great meal with tremendous portion sizes with outstanding service. I highly recommend Mamma's! Cause you gonna like!

The pizza here is very, very delicious. One of the few…read moreplaces here where I can still get a nice thin crust pizza done right. The pizza and local convenience is the only reason we came here a few times. For the quality of the pizza, I still consider it a great value compared to other "social media trendy" but highly overpriced, overrated places. The environment can be nice, especially with the "night light" lamps they put on the table, music is not overwhelmingly loud or obnoxious. The white tablecloth is a nice touch. The chairs are decent. However, the wait can be very long, even if not busy. We've been here at least 4 times on various days and times (weekdays, late afternoons, early evenings, weekends, etc.) and we typically wait about 40+ minutes or so for the food to be ready. Even when there's only 2-3 other customers around, it takes about 25-30 minutes after ordering for the food to receive it. The last time we were here, it took more than 1 hour for the food to be ready. The service staff is extremely nice. However, there's still something "off" about this place and them. For example, the bar worker is expected to not only pour drinks at the bar, but also attend to non-bar restaurant guests. This is kind of weird. This place seems to give more attention and priority to bar customers and alcohol drinking "buddies" of the bar staff. The staff loves to sit and chat with their "friends" (regulars) while minimally and superficially attending to normal customers with a less sense of priority and urgency. I don't expect them to rush every single thing, but it was extremely obvious that the focus was to prioritize bar patrons over non-alcohol restaurant customers. Perhaps this is for profit reasons and if so, they should just be honest about it and separate bar staff from food waiters, like normal places do, or just simply be a bar place and not a pizza place. Also, the pizza making area is open and you can hear the workers every argument and discussion when it comes to wages, scheduling, next shift coverage, etc.. This is weird. At the price point of this pizza, I didn't think staff was being treated and paid so poorly. The vibe of the workers was just so "off", in general. The waitresses and waiters are very nice but often aloof and behave oddly. Like, is there something sketchy going on at this place? Are they on substances? Everyone is friendly but has no attention to detail, urgency or anything else. The last time we were here, it was very busy. But it took at least 1 hour to make 2 or 3 pizzas. The manager could tell we weren't happy. However, we didn't even know he was the manager as he didn't introduce himself properly but offered to comp our meal. This place gets 2 stars because of him and the delicious pizza . But if I ever come back, it'll just be order out by myself. The other person I came with absolutely hated the service and wait of this place and doesn't want to come back again.

The thin crust was a little soggy until getting to where it's a little thicker where it was absolutely buttery delicious. It's a quaint NYC, Chitown hole in the wall with a few tables to allow for eat in. It felt like I was transported back to a pizza place in the 70s family run where everyone knows your name. The owner was initially there by herself. What looked like her son came in later. She was very nice and checked on us a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed. I'd go again to try another dish to see if it has that homey Italian taste.

From the chew /to the color -to the flavor, the crust does not tell me I'm eating New York style pizza ,nor did the sauce. For the price point and what you're getting, it's OK. I have to say, though, when I walked up to the counter, and I asked who owns the place? Expressed that this was my first time there, There seemed to be a hesitation in admitting who the owner was, and then the young lady at the register said oh she's right over here on the oven. I looked up, made eye contact with a lady who was on her phone, who kind of like nodded and then went back to her phone. That was a clear message sent to me as one of your clients /guest /customers whatever label you want to use.. What an opportunity for her to step over hi -my name is -thanks for coming in. How was everything?, That personal connection is priceless. The message I received was I don't have time to be bothered by this. I'm on my phone.! Having owned two restaurants, one in Raleigh and one in Charlotte and launching another project spring 2027, I can tell you this goes a long long way, people will return for great service, decent prices, even if your food is substandard. All feedback is positive. I wish the best for this establishment.

The restaurant itself is a classy joint but with a sterilized modern amalgamation but I'll add, I got my order to go. It does have life and pizzazz as if I were walking into a Don Corleone supported satellite restaurant of "the family" but they had a rogue designer. While I'm on the fence about the interior, the staff are cool but "it sounds nicer in Italian" (Goodfellas). Any who, let's get into the meat and lasagna of the review (ok.. that was a horrible stretch). Frozen mozz stix, why!? Pass on the stix unless you want to pay extra for the same thing Arby's serves up. The pasta aren't homemade, an important note and sometimes they're overcooked (bloated) and sometimes on the money. It's hard to determine what you'll get. I did like the friend calamari as they were tender although they had more breading than I care for, however that's a big subjective. In other words if you like a thicker breading you'll love it. I do wish they offered an aioli with the marinara but alas that's not an option. The best app is the antipasto salad. They absolutely nailed the flavors and ingredients. Bravo! As for the calzones they're pretty good but I prefer ricotta as mine had mozz only. Other than that, it was decent but limited. The pizzas were better than what's delivered from those fast food guys, but nowhere near the best in town. I found the dough decent but for the first time in a while, I just couldn't put my finger on what didn't excite me. Just ho-hum. I guess the ingredients were average? That said my kids enjoyed it, but it's pizza so their judgement isn't exactly gospel. They also like the meatballs and spaghetti. It was decent but not stellar. Overall, my experience was slightly above average. I guess when I see a buffet it planted the seeds of my preconceived notions. I'm not saying it's bad by any stretch but it didn't make the case for a memorable eating experience. Stop by if you have a lot of different items you want to get at one place but if you're looking for the best.......

Said person proceeded to tell me that this place was recently robbed and also talked about how she thought her car was haunted. She told me multiple times that she didn't drink while she was drinking. It was strange, but I'm not going to dock the restaurant for that, they can't control their patrons. I think the prices have gone up a little compared to the menu I saw online. It was $35 for 2 Reubens and 6 wings. I guess that's about right for these days and times, but seemed like it was a couple bucks more than it should be. I'll probably be back, but just going to call my order in next time.

As for the food, the place recently changed ownership. There was a small middle eastern menu along with the Italian menu. I ended up ordering the lasagna as the waiter said it was popular.

Despite some low scores (almost every national franchise of any restaurant gets low scores), this location is dialed in for my wife and me. Looking for someone else to cook today?
