Absolutely would not recommend. I went in asking about pizzas, the owner (?) seemed pissed off…read morethat I was looking at a posted menu and said that they only make pizzas. I tried to order one and half the ingredients from the menu attached to the counter they did not have. We worked through that and when I started a second pizza order the guy blew up and started yelling saying you should have called in for more than one pizza (I would have if there was a menu to find!). I just said never mind and left. Next thing I know, this guy is outside yelling at me calling me a f **** guy and A**** plus a lot of other cursing and yelling, I just stopped listening. I am a pretty easy going person and the Pizza may be good but not worth the attitude i experienced. Would have left a negative if possible!

I am very perplexed as to how anyone stays in business when running every one off. I was personally…read moreasked by Mary Jo to never come back for stand too close the check out area. She screamed at me "Can you step away from the counter. People have to pay for the pizzas." Interestingly, I was the only one in the shop. Sometime later I was doing laundry a few doors down when a gentleman walked in stating he was told to never return. Why? He asks for a sub with no mayonnaise. When walking in asking if she would scrape off the mayo, she did and tossed it back saying to never come back. One last personal situation, 2 years ago my cousin Nelson walked in after a phone standing further towards the back around the rest rooms. Mary Jo uttered, "You can't be back in that area" in a loud arrogant tone of voice at which time Nelson walked towards the front of the store saying nothing. While paying for his pizza Nelson ask what was the problem when she flat out retuned his money and kept the pizza. Even more interesting than all of this is the numerous amounts of people that have been ask to never return and have no idea how she stays in business. And the rules: no phone order before 3, can't stand beyond a certain point, one menu for the entire public, its nuts. No amount of abuse is worth walking out with a pizza from this pace, please believe. Thank you, Gregg Reckart.

Ordering on their website was super easy, pick-up was smooth, and the food was worth the quick trip. Definitely adding this place to my go-to pizza rotation!

So: I passionately enjoyed my dinner at Mamma Roma. The reason that this is unusual is because I'm…read morenot big on going out for Italian food much at restaurants - other than on holidays - since I eat so much Italian food at home. I can make an exception for more casual Italian meals at only a handful of Italian restaurants, and Mamma Roma's is now one. Growing up partially Italian, and a mix of other ethnicities, my family cooks Italian better, of course, than at any restaurant. No one made better Italian dinners than my Na-na (grandmother). But Momma Roma's hummus cream rigatoni could definitely keep me coming back for more. No one made better meatballs than my Mom but the meatballs at Mamma Roma's are flavorful enough. No one made better sauce than my Aunt #1 but the sauce on Momma Roma's ravioli was good and so fresh. And no one made better cookies than my Aunt #2, but Momma Roma's cannolis and rum cookies are tasty. There are a lot of Italian restaurants in the area and I've read that Mamma Roma's is one of, if not, the best. I can only say that while my first visit here a decade ago was fine, this visit goes into my memory as "need to get back there, eventually, if not sooner," after delighting in their new menu item: a creamy hummus rigatoni with sausage. I love hummus, though wasn't really sure if the texture of hummus sauce would be too gritty. It was not. It had a lovely, substantial flavor and silky texture that was balanced well by the impeccably-cooked al dente rigatoni. Add to that the garlic, cream, sausage and herbs in this dish and you've got a winner. I highly recommend this rigatoni, of the 3 rigatoni entrees on Mamma Roma's menu. I haven't even tried the other rigatoni dishes, but still ... don't miss this creamy, garlicky hummus dinner. And the portions of rigatoni in this dish were very generous. The presentation of the lasagna was impressive, in layering and shape. I only had a bite. It had a nice flavor, but I would have needed more bites to give a better description. And since it wasn't my order, I could not indulge. The portion was generous. Also, I would never order lasagna from any restaurant given the reasons cited earlier, but this one was good. I hope someone is laughing because anyone who has grown up in a subcultural group in the US usually sounds exactly like me about the home-cooking they grew up on. Another of Mamma Roma's menu items I'd like to try is their corn and arugula white pizza. I've only found one lovely corn pizza ever at Zelo's in an LA suburb, so now that I have seen this on their menu my curiosity is piqued. Love love love the variety of the dessert menu options. It's not just the desserts in the case on display that you can order. While there are gorgeous cookies on display, the dessert menu has a long, lovely list of all kinds of variations of cheesecakes and cakes. I would like to try the lemon cake on a return visit. And more of the cookie flavors! When I asked the barista what the top desserts were, he was quick to name the cannoli as a first. You'd probably be surprised to find out that this is a counter service approach: you order and pay up at the front and the waiter brings you your food and whatever else you need. You get your own fountain drinks or tea with ice. You can tip in advance, in good faith, when you order in the beginning or you can leave cash on the table at the end of the meal, having already paid your bill in the beginning. There is also the charming dessert counter/bar and espresso area that I mentioned earlier. So, when you are finished with your lunch or dinner, you can go to the barista's counter and order dessert and cappuccino. I love that if you order cake or a cannoli, a cappuccino is only $2. This is an awesome value especially for the evening crowd. For old school Anne Arundel county and Annapolis locals, Mamma Roma's is better than the original Squisito's pizza -- and higher in quality -- but it is a bit reminiscent of that restaurant in terms of popularity and a family feel. Plus, I have never tried the pizza here, but I'm guessing it's good given the quality of the ingredients and preparations we experienced with the pasta dishes. One thing that also really stands out about Mamma Roma's is that they are the only Italian restaurant that is nestled back in the suburban Piney Orchard division of Gambrills. In other words, it's more neighborly there vs. other restaurants along the majorly-trafficked Route 3 corridor. The restaurants along Route 3 have many more transients coming in, given the ease of access, so they are naturally less neighborly. Finally, when we brought our leftovers from dinner home I set them on the kitchen table and left them for a bit. When I came back into our kitchen, it was filled with such delicious aromas! Friends, this is just how fresh the food at Mamma Roma's is. For a casual, counter service suburban, it is quite bellissima!

I order online from them all the time using the papa app.... clearly states store hours and that if you order and it's closed it'll let you know. Also about the time she states she has no idea when it's coming..... sorry wrong again, you always get an email stating a time frame when your pizza will be ready for pick up or a time frame when it's delivered.

It's cooked in a coal-fired oven so that it's charred and chewy. Pepe sold his classic apizza off a special headdress with pies stacked on his head. He was able to takeover a bakery and started Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in 1925. Colorful story, but how was the pizza, you ask? Using Frank's original recipe, the dough is like a thin, crispy ciabatta, they use high quality ingredients and cook in their custom brick ovens. We ordered a three pizza sampler which was way too much for us, but it gave us a taste of New Haven Apizza. It was crispy yet chewy. We really liked it (although deep dish remains my favorite)!
