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.

Aurora is so lucky to have this hidden gem in its culinary repertoire! It's Italian bistro with…read morevery eclectic art and checker-clothes tables. Very charming. Wonderful welcoming staff even in between rushes late afternoon on a Wednesday. Mom ordered the Chicken Sorrentino & I swerved last minute from Scampi to Spaghetti with Meatballs to honor my favorite late aunt who always ordered that at any Italian restaurant. Always! My God, the Marsala sauce in the Sorrentino is off the charts. My mom was in birthday bliss. She actually finished most of the plate. Not bad for 83!! Meatballs and pasta were on point for mine. I like that their tomato sauce is a tad spicy. They gave us garlic knots on the side. Had I known they were that good I would have taken two orders with me home! Such buttery goodness! There must be garlic in heaven. Thanks so much, Pomodoro Pizza Pasta for making mom and my brief trip into Denver a memorable one!

So we just got back from taking in the sights in the Boulder, CO area and had a hankering for some…read moreItalian food.... After a little research we decided to check out Pomodora Pizza Pasta, which was a ways away from our hotel but hey if you want some good Italian food, who cares if you drive a little right.... Upon arriving we were promptly seated and our server told us about the specials and writhing shirt order we got the party started. The restaurant is small and quaint and very, very clean. Lots of pickups coming in for take out but plenty of people eating in as well. They are located in a strip mall so parking should not be a problem at all. You can tell this is a local business, which is great. Love to see local businesses be successful. So we kicked things off with some mozzarella sticks which were good but our Veal Parmigiana and Veal Marsala entrees were out of this world. Both were fresh and made to order. The pasta was definitely "Al Dente" as well and the garlic knots they brought to the table were hot and delicious as well. Was definitely worth the drive and next I come to the Denver area I will visit them again. What I like the best is that it is a no frills, affordable Italian restaurant that gives you great value for the money. Although we did not order drinks, I did see that they do have a small bar area so locations and cocktails should be in order as well. So feel free to check them out as I don't think you will be disappointed. Wishing you all a great Italian food outing! Enjoy and Bon Appétit mes amis!

Back in Denver for a few days, and Blue Pan was a MUST because of its rare, elite pizza!…read more They rose to the occasion, as this Congress Park location has always been a favorite. Great customer service, Andrew was a terrific server, brief wait mitigated by a solid communication system. Interior loaded with positivity and a family atmosphere. Loved our one-half Brooklyn Bridge and one-half Parma. So very good. Caesar salad also rocked.

Blue Pan Pizza - Congress Park: Not Recommended…read more Unfortunately, Blue Pan Pizza did not live up to the hype for us. We spent nearly $100, but the food was surprisingly bland and under-seasoned. We started with the meatballs, which tasted as though they might have been frozen. We also ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, but it was runny and lacked flavor. Even the chips couldn't save it, lol. My partner makes a much better version at home--and hers tastes like it was made with love. There really is a difference. For our main course, we ordered a Supreme Detroit-style pizza. Since I'm from New York, it reminded me more of a Sicilian-style pizza, which I usually enjoy. Unfortunately, the cheese was extremely dry against the bread, and even the ranch couldn't help. Also, why do people eat pizza with a fork and knife? Maybe I was raised like a savage in New York, but you're supposed to pick up a slice, fold it, and eat it. The restaurant was extremely crowded, and the overall experience felt more like a process of getting people in, serving them, and getting them out than creating an enjoyable dining experience. The food didn't seem to be prepared with much care or attention; it felt more like an assembly line. We also felt somewhat out of place in the restaurant. That alone wouldn't have been an issue, but combined with the food, crowd, and overall atmosphere, it simply didn't feel like our kind of place. For nearly $100, I expected significantly better food, flavor, and service. Honestly, I've enjoyed pizza from Papa Murphy's, Cicis, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Sam's Club, Costco, Mondo's, and Marco's more. If you're looking for great pizza, I personally wouldn't recommend Blue Pan Pizza in Congress Park. And if you're going for the ambiance, I wouldn't recommend it for that either. Bottom line: Expensive, under-seasoned, overcrowded, and disappointing. Blue Pan Pizza may be popular, but it definitely wasn't for us. NO garlic power, NO pepper, NO oregano, NO onion powder, NO Italian seasoning, NO NOTHING!!!!!
