There calzones and pizzas are the best in Colorado. I've been going there for over 30 years. It's a must try.
Scott M.

They're priced reasonable. They taste awesome. It's a must try. You can dine in or get it to go. Fast friendly customer service.

Homestyle Calzone (Small) Homestyle
Amanda H.

I have LOVED this place since I was a kid! Now that I live in FL, Mama Alvino's is an absolute must go-to restaurant while in CO. They have always had the tastiest, perfectly stuffed calzones with homemade sauce and I've been chowing down on some Mama Alvino's since I was a kid. I highly recommend the homestyle calzone. I add green peppers and ask for extra sauce on the side. The calzones are always fresh out of the oven and soft on the inside, but slightly crunchy on the outside - perfection imo. It's a smaller, cozy restaurant and the staff are always super friendly! The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are very generous. Looking forward to visiting again soon!!

Happy tummy

Rated well on the yumm meter we couldnt decide spaghetti or calzone so we got both. I had the big mama stuffed with meat and veggies, my wife got the home style also jam packedwith goodness. Very clean inside and roomy, staff was funny and attentivr. So why no 5 ? It gives them somthing to earn on our next visit.

Garlic Cheese Bread

One of the biggest secrets in Aurora. From the sandwiches, to the Calzones all the way down to the pizza, order some things to eat there & order again to take some home. #Winning!!

Pineapple, jalapeños, pepperoni, and mushrooms
Gabrielle S.

Wow, wow, wow! I decided on some sit down pizza, locale of course. Mama did not disappoint. The crust is so fresh and every bite tastes homemade, and full of love and tradition. The toppings made available are plentiful and all blend so well together. I don't even like pineapple on pizza but here at Mama Alvino's, it's just that good. All the well known pizza chains have lost my business for good, they simply can't compete.

I am not a big sweets person, but holy moly, the drinks and other offerings here are SO GOOD!…read more My girlfriend kept telling me that the soft serve here is really good and we finally stopped by after some grocery shopping. She was not joking. It was not too sweet and slightly tart. The lychee lemonade aide was really good too. The lychee flavor was a bit overpowering but that is typically the case with lychee flavored anything. The lemon slice in there was a really good touch. I got the affogato with espresso/matcha and Vietnamese coffee. It was my bad to get so many things all in one as it was a bit too much but I think it would've been perfect with espresso and Vietnamese coffee. If you are in the neighborhood and enjoy Asian style drinks and desserts, I would highly recommend checking out Mocha! I know I will be back soon!

There also Tables and booths on the side for seating, it does get pretty occupied on some days so heads up if you planned to stay and study here! For drinks we ordered large beverages both a little under $10 after tax: 5/5 Large Strawberry Matcha Latte 5/5 Large Strabwerry Latte with Brown Sugar Boba topping We are fan of their strabwerry drinks as it is a very good and strong flavor of strabwerry they have and the matcha or milk base always compliments the drink. The matcha is also frothy and both drinks are top with a bit strabwrrry pieces at the top and the matcha powder on top of the drink! So refreshing! 5/5 Half Dozen Creme Brulees Cream Bun We are OBESSESED with their cream buns, we havent tried the other flavors but the creme brulee flavor is always our go to. DELICIOUS bun served with a generous amount of cream on too, The cream really compliments the bread. This is a MUST try if you havent already! With summer just starting, expect us to be back at mocha a couple times to grab refreshing iced cold drinks and delicious cream buns!!!

We originally stopped in to check it out, and now it's firmly in our regular rotation. What really sets them apart for us is the flexibility. Some days we're in the mood for a decadent brown sugar drink, and other days we're trying to be a little more mindful. The team has always been happy to customize tea drinks with little to no sugar, making it easy to enjoy boba without feeling like you've completely abandoned your nutrition goals. It's a small thing, but it's made a big difference for us. On the flavor side, they deliver. The drinks are consistently balanced, the tea actually tastes like tea instead of being drowned out by sweetness, and the boba has that perfect chewy texture you're hoping for. The staff has also been incredibly friendly every time we've visited, taking the time to answer questions and make recommendations without making you feel rushed. The inside has plenty of seating and is usually busy when we are there...a nice sign to how good they are. If you're someone who loves classic, indulgent boba, you'll find plenty to enjoy here. But if you're looking for a shop that can also accommodate lower-sugar or lighter options without sacrificing quality, Snowl is absolutely worth checking out. It's one of the reasons we keep finding ourselves back through the door.

We managed to finish it all. The croffle was a bit disappointing, it wasn't soft and was hard to cut into. Easy ordering system. Order at a kiosk. Your number get called for pick up at the counter.

You will be given a receipt with your order number, or you can give them a name for your order. Then, you can go grab a table while you wait. You need to keep a close eye on the screen. Not all vendors will call out your number or name. Momo Bing's staff was calling out orders, and that was nice! When you see your number or name on the screen, it is time for you to go to the vendor to pick up your food. This business is one of the busier shops. Who doesn't like teas, dumplings, & Bingsu?? I got the Mango Bingsu. The shaved ice cream is so fluffy and creamy. The mango pieces were diced nice and tiny. Most were a little too green for me. I think they use green mangoes because they're more tart & offset the sweetness of the ice cream. It probably isn't so healthy, but I like the sweeter mangoes. I love that they don't skimp on the fruit! The Shaved Ice Cream aka Bingsu is enough for 2 people. Alas, I was alone, so I did the best I could! I ate all the ice cream and put the extra fruit pieces in a cup to take home. I will enjoy it later. Their tea drinks look refreshing! I probably won't be trying them on my next visit because I am committed to trying a new drink at the other tea place here. If I visit again after that, I might try that Honeydew Milk Tea. The Mango Bingsu was certainly a fine ending to my lunch!

The ube latte was perfectly sweet with a strong ube flavor. The crème brûlée cruffin had a top that was so crispy from the toasted sugar that I couldn't cut into it, and the bottom was just stuffed full of cream. It was super messy to eat and impossible to share- next time I am getting my own. We also had the pandan coconut cupcake, which was good but not as exciting as the cruffin. The pandan and coconut were both equally strong flavors- I liked it better than my husband did. The Thai tea cake in a cup was also excellent, but outshone by the cruffin. They were out of a few other things we wanted to try by 11am on a Saturday, so get there early if you want something specific.

My girlfriend was taking a class nearly across the street, so I thought I'd check it out. I was disappointed that they've apparently stopped making crêpe cakes as that was a favorite. There were none in the case and they're no longer mentioned on the Web site. Alas. However, there were lots of interesting items on display. I selected a Strawberry Croissant, a Chocolate Cupcake, and one of the cake cups: Ube Tres Leches Milk Cake. I'd never seen anything like that last item before. The strawberry croissant is filled with fresh strawberries and vanilla cream. I was worried that it might be soggy, but it was crispy, flaky and very tasty. The frosting on the cupcake was chocolate-flavored chantilly cream. This was heavenly. Absolutely perfect. I never contemplated ube plus tres leches. There is a traditional Vietnamese version (ha, you Latin purists!) that uses the flavors of Vietnamese iced coffee, but ube is a new approach. The number of different cultures involved here is making my head spin, but the result was delightful, of course. A mini cake in a paper ice cream cup is also a great idea. More substantial and easier to eat than a cupcake, but still a good snack for one person. Service was prompt, friendly, and helpful. The business faces Colfax Avenue. There's street parking plus a large, free parking lot behind the building. There are a number of tables if you can't wait to get your purchases home and a variety of drinks including Vietnamese coffee, a full espresso bar, tea, and lemonade. Bánh mi and other breakfast and lunch sandwiches are available plus rice bowls. I really enjoyed my purchases. Downtown Aurora is a bit of a drive for me, but I definitely need to make the trip more often.
