Comfortable little restaurant with an incredibly nice staff. My dad and I shared a Veggie pizza, but I didn't want cheese on my half, so they added my portion to his side. With his side having double cheese the staff commented how good it looked. The crust, sauce, and vegetables were all good and balanced well together. Reasonably priced pizza menu. read more

Always a stop for us when coming back from the airport at mealtime! Homemade dough, homemade marinara pizza sauce fresh veggies and your favorite Italian meats! The restaurant is casual and inexpensive. The calzones are huge; and if you dine in; they are completely covered in their homemade sauce. The small is still a great serving and fills up a plate; the large will have you asking for a box! Drinks are served in large glasses with complimentary refills. You won't leave hungry. It's a true mom and pop restaurant! Located in a strip mall at Colfax and Chambers, free parking. read more

THIS IS THE WORST PIZZA HUT!!! Do NOT order from this Pizza Hut!!!! They used to be great and since they have gone to having Door Dash delivery, their service SUCKS!!! AND you call and say that you don't have your pizza..... AFTER AN HOUR.... Their people who answer the phone tell you that they are the Manager, except then the real Manager walks in and won't help you!!! DONT ORDER FROM THEM!!!! read more

Just visited these wonderful folks on Father's Day 2026 in loving remembrance of my late wife, this is where we started many years ago! I have to say even though so many things around are constantly changing whether we want them to or not, this place, and these people have worked their asses off in a literal sense to keep things the same! Aside from higher prices (like everything else we deal with) these people are phenomenal, the food is phenomenal, and the atmosphere is still "take a load off" when you walk through the door, and the employees help to display that at just about every pass! If my wife were still around she would say "they are good at making people happy fat" because their food is so damn good! Keep up the good work please!!! read more

Mama Alvino's Pizzeria - There calzones and pizzas are the best in Colorado. I've been going there for over 30 years. It's a must try. - Pizza Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Great food friendly staff quick service. Prices could be better for what you get. Cute little restaurant and never a wait

The service was polite. However, the food was quite lacking. The cheese bread is quite literally a piece of bread sliced into halves with grated cheese melted onto it. Oddly enough, this was the best part of the meal. The marinara seemed home made and complimented the bread well. The pizza arrived shortly after the bread. We quickly tore off a slice and dug in! Unfortunately, the pizza was a huge fail. Biting into the pizza I smelled a strong yeasty odor. Like beer left out a day. Chewing the pizza I discovered that the dough was raw. I took several smaller bites trying to determine if the dough was just soggy or if I was actually served raw pizza. It was raw. The first clue should have been the timing of the pizza. The second, the blond color of the crust. Third, the fresh uncharred cheese topping. But I hadn't been here before and thought it was a style thing. After a while the waiter finally returned and we reported the issue. He offered to put the pizza back into the oven. We took our slices and put it onto the tray and let him cook it longer. Why? I don't know we hate to waste food! Ten minutes after it was delivered though, we weren't sure it would be enough. Finally, after a spell longer in the oven, the pizza was returned to us. It was cooked this time. The color was rich, the cheese charred and bubbly. The flavor very much more on point. However, because the pizza waited 10 minutes at least before being put back into the oven we suspect this cause the dough to take on the juices of the toppings. So, while cooked, it was a bit soggy. The yeasty smell baked into the dough and topping. We finished the initial slice of pizzas each and took the rest home. Once home we couldn't even muster the stomach to finish it. Definitely won't be returning. I should have insisted on a new pizza. :( read more

Everything we have tried here has been great. Garlics cheese bread, pizza, etc. Love it!

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!! read more

I have been eating calzones from Mama Alivinos since I was in high school 1981. They are still the best.

We've been going to Mama Alvino's for at least 20 years. It's always delicious, fresh and consistently tasty.

I am just in town for a visit, yelped to find some pizza and low and behold just down the street from the hotel. Calzone was so tasty. Excellent flavor in thier homemade sauce. I will most likely eat here again before I go back home. read more

Well the 4 Stars is due to the fact that my ToGo Calzone was put in a styrofoam container with aluminum foil which means it was SOGGY dough. That really ruins the taste. There was a lot of ingredients in the calzone. I was happy that the sauce was in a cup for dipping instead of on the calzone. The staff was very friendly. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Ordered takeout from Mama Alvinos and the pizza was delicious! The delivery arrived on time and hot, the crust was amazing and the toppings and sauce were excellent. Strongly recommend Mama Alvinos!! read more

Pretty good pizza pie. Crust is really dry and flaky. Really has the consistency of a saltine cracker. The sweet sauce complements it well. Ample toppings, plenty of cheese. $16 for a small pizza is a little steep. read more

Mama Alvino's Pizzeria - Great pizza!!! - Pizza Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Have gone about three times out of the past two to three weeks. It had been a couple of years since I had visited-because a few years ago didn't care for my last visit. The first visit of the latest string of visit- was amazing on the difference- I would give credit to the very young waiter guy. He did a amazing job. I wasn't the only table to notice. Then about a week ago decided to go again because it seemed like it was new owners. That visit was nice. The waitress was on top of the game. Then tonight- Went in just a hr before close- first thing out of the waiters mouth- we close in 38 minutes is that ok with you... Fine- I new exactly what I wanted and placed the order- Notice all the cheese is off the table- guessing they were gathered for closing all ready. He brings the salad and forgets the drink- need to ask for my drink- Then brings my mini pizza it was ok. Then leaves the ticket- which is ok. The last two times they had actually collected the card and ticket from the table and brought it back to sign.... wonderful great service. this time he is obviously ignoring the card sitting on the ticket- so he can run it and get me out of there as fast as possible. The difference a waiter or waitress can make does effect your business. I really though there were new owners- might be wrong and just a difference of wait staff. So could be hit or miss depending on who is working. Then the person who seemed to be closing manager could of been helping close the place not just watching the waiter run around trying to close. I wasn't even the last customer to leave the place about 15 minutes before the listed closing time. read more

We ordered from and had our pizza delivered to our hotel. The service was awesome and quick and our pizza was still hot. Upon the first bite, I knew this was not your average pizza! The flavor rush was real! There was a slight yeast flavor in the dough that let you know it was made from scratch and the sauce hit different as it was also made from scratch. Loved every bite. I highly recommend! read more

Friendly staff and delicious food. I go here a lot, would be there more if they were open on Mondays. ;)

Hubby and I tried the homestyle calzone (large, since we were splitting it), minestrone soup, and house salad. Food was fine, overall. I kept getting hints of clove in the spaghetti sauce, so it was throwing me off a bit. Not my preferred flavor profile for sauce. The salad was typical American style bagged lettuce, so it was not fresh, and I had a bad tomato in my salad. The restrooms are clean to the point the chlorine smell makes your eyes water. read more

I ordered a meat calzone for pick up. The food was ready at the scheduled pick up time. The portions were hearty, definitely enough to share or cover two meals. The food was bland and lacked flavor read more

We came to Aurora for an appointment. I asked the girl at the hotel what the best pizza in town. She reccomended Mama Alvino. It was soooo good!! The dough was fresh. The cheese was hot and stringy. Excellent service. read more

Had the calzone which is my go to lunch. It is always good and well made. Mama's has been around for over 30 years and for classic Italian they are hard to beat. I am willing to bet that a menu from 20 years ago looks the same as today's. The pizza toppings are the basic toppings you will find anywhere. No new choices like artichokes or shrimp. Just the pizza that you had as a kid and just the same quality as 20 years ago. read more

Yummy yummy! So good! Ate here several times and it just hasn't disappointed yet. Been around since I can remember. Best calzones ever!

Pizza was great, and I'm a tough critic. Good homemade crust and lots of toppings. I tried Mama Alvino's after reading the reviews and was not disappointed. Many people referred to customer service and they were not wrong. I ordered a pizza for pickup... my order got lost in the shuffle. When I showed up to pickup my pizza had not been made. Obviously, I was a little annoyed. So, I left and came back a little later. The staff gave me my pizza on the house. I said I would be back if the pizza was good and it is great. Short story long, their pizza and customer service is great! read more

We have tried this place several times and it is just not good. My work place keeps ordering from here and I just don't get it. The crust is too bready and has no flavor. The sauce is dry and tasteless. I ended up just eating the toppings. They've also ordered the sandwiches and they're basically bread with a little bit of meat. Not worth the calories even when it's free. Sorry this is not Italian. Any pizza chain is better. read more

This is definitely one place that is in my top 3 places to get pizza from. Forget Pizza Hut, dominos and all those "big name corporations". Have a craving for pizza at an affordable price, this is it!!! We came here after just searching for pizza places on google. Loved it!!! There are a lot of pork dishes but they also have only cheese options that allow you to add beef or chicken. Holds heat well. They didn't skip the cheese. I got the small pizza and wasn't even close to finishing mine. Every time I come home, this will definitely be a place we will eat at! read more
