(this is review is from 2023 - way overdue I know) The pizza here is good. I usually get pepperoni or buffalo slices from the case. On two different occasions I got a half and half neopolitan and sicilian. They have a seating area but I usually take my food to go. read more

I got my food via too good to go (if you haven't tried that app it's the best) so I will start by saying I didn't get to pick what I got but I ended up getting too slices is Sicilian and a buffalo chicken slice. It's the BOMB!! Very mom and pop vibes which are my absolute favorite! It's nothing fancy inside but when good food is around you don't need it. The worker was kind and asked if what he picked was okay which was thoughtful. I will definitely be back and not via too good to go I wanna try their pasta next read more

This review is well overdue...Big thanks to Mama Gina's who came through and saved the day for a pizza party at a local school for 25 kids when an order that was supposed to be put through, wasn't. Person I spoke to on the phone was very nice and accommodating. Not sure how they did it, but Mama Gina's was able to get 3 XL pizzas delivered well within 45 mins. The pizzas were super fresh and absolutely delicious. Would definitely use again for any future orders, especially for large groups. read more

Great service outstanding food pizza is great subs also great place to eat . easy access to . and fast delivery

Terrific Margeritha - just perfect. New owners? I don't know - I have lived in Union Square for 25 years but rarely thought their pizza was much good. Something must have changed. Keep up the good work. read more

Website ordering has minimum, created a challenge to get right date, so called instead. Great service over phone. Awesome pizza! Medium is delicious and right size for 2. Delivery timely. New go to for pizza. read more

After a busy morning and afternoon shopping DoorDash from Mama Gina's pizzeria... had a basic pepperoni pizza, huge chef, salad, and steak egg rolls. The pizza was a very good quality for a b New York style floppy pizza. The chef salad was outstanding with fresh ingredients in a very nice pita type bread as a side. We had to try the steak egg rolls because why not you're at a pizza place wouldn't you get steak egg rolls? However, the pizza is well worth it in a very crowded market read more

I refuse to believe that this place has a 3.5* average. I honestly don't get it - their pizza (sauce, crust, toppings) is consistently on point and even their salad (I always order the greek salad) is great. I know, I know, you're probably rolling your eyes at the fact that I order salad at a pizza joint, but the salad is a good size and definintely filling. I usually order mine with chicken and the salad also comes with a side of "pita", which is really more like cooked (but still doughy) pizza dough and is sooo good. More on the food: Pizza (large pie) - great sauce, evenly distributed toppings, cheesy, perfect crust Greek salad - great portion, enough dressing to get the perfect salad to dressing ratio, served with the best "pita" Broccoli and cheddar bites - it's what you're thinking, but probably better. Recommend. Fried ravioli: I enjoyed these, but would probably order the broccoli and cheese bites instead, if I had to pick. Mozzarella sticks: a classic. If you are craving mozzy sticks, this will definintely hit the spot The service is always quick and the people who work here have always been friendly. I can usually place an order and pick up within 10-15 minutes. I've never gotten delivery from Mama Gina's so I can't speak to what that experience is like, but definintely recommend this place for take out. read more

They don't know how to talk to customers. The Sub I ordered was wrong and the bread was soggy. The other sub was burnt when we asked for lightly toasted. Don't bother calling to complain because they have an attitude. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! Rude customer service. BEWARE! I ordered online wings and a side of fries. I picked it up and brought back to office only to find he purposely left it out. I go back to the store to get only to be yelled at. Telling me that is an ala carte item?? That the website wasn't his?? Like I said BEWARE!!! read more

Food is great. Take a lesson in customer service. You just lost ALOT of business from MY business. Rude and obnoxious behavior. If that is what you want? Then go. read more

First time I've been to Mama Gina's and was not disappointed . I got a slice of cheese and a slice of Buffalo chicken. Both had great taste a nice flavorable crust perfect cheese sauce ratio a solid 7.7.. my problem with the buffalo chicken it was simply not spicy enough and the only negatives I can say about the pizza was a little greasy and if the cross was a little more crispier but definitely will be back. read more

Great service and food. They have friendly delivery man "Sean". He'll make sure your food is delivered timely and hot. Check it out in Union Square read more

Okay thin pizza but Rude service Guy answers the phone sound like a jerk! Okay... When I seen him in person he looks like a total douchebag . If someone hands you money in your hand, I expect the same. Not just throw my charge on the counter = prick Two stars for pizza Zero star for 6 mozzarella sticks Zero stars for a grill chicken Zero for service read more

Tasty burger and crispy fries. I can only eat my bacon if it's crispy (as I requested) but I think some places get scared of people complaining. Enjoying my burger but sad about the soggy bun and not crispy bacon. read more

Always happy with my food from Mama Gina's. I've been coming here since I was a kid and have remained a loyal customer throughout all the changes (ownership and renovations). The service is quick and efficient. The prices are reasonable. And the food is delicious! I definitely recommend getting their teriyaki wings or the gold chicken pizza! The wings are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The gold sauce is to die for. I often get it on the side of whatever I order. Will definitely remain a loyal customer for years to come! read more

Sometimes, I write reviews to remind me of the good and the bad. In this case, it's for the bad. For me, anything less than three stars means that I will not return. We were heading to Reliable Market and decided to grab pizza here to save time. I normally don't like just popping into places without doing a little research, but today, my seven year old daughter was crying of hunger after shopping at Michael's in Porter Square. I ordered a large cheese pizza hoping to save extra slices for future meals. While the cheese and sauce on our pizza seemed okay, the crust was below average. They really skimp on the quality of the crust. It's very thin, hard, and over cooked. Most of the bottom of the pizza was charred. I normally will not eat charred foods because they cause gastrointestinal issues for me. I ate my first slice but for the next two slices, I only ate the cheese and sauce. I was super hungry, and I only let my daughter finish her slices as she was famished as well. However, I showed her the bottom of the pizza and told her that this is not good pizza. Also, what really annoyed me was the price point. That burnt pizza costed $11.95! I felt so ripped off but have to think it's because of the location that allows them to charge that much. For that price point, I can get two very nice cheese pizzas in my neighborhood. Another thing that bothered me was just how dirty their plastic utensils were. They don't clean the area where they store the utensils. I grabbed the last knife and there was dots of dust (?) on the knife. I wiped it clean with my fingers. And then the guy at the counter, gave me some more plastic knives kept behind the counter and they all had dots of dust (?) on them. Absolutely gross! Never again!! read more

Visiting "home" from NY where you can't buy an edible cheesesteak and was extremely happy with my steak, onions, peppers and provolone sub I got at Mama Gina's. read more

I love mama Gina's and not just the food but also the workers there kind,friendly and just very good atmosphere

Had a fresh, delicious pizza tonight from Mama Gina's (sausage and onion, 12"), and as I was enjoying it, I realized that I sometimes forget how reliable this place is, and that I should tell others! I live right up the hill and so have been grabbing pizzas and subs from Mama Gina's for years. And you know what? As new, fancier places pop up all around it, Mama Gina's remains overall my most satisfying order-out experience! (along with Siam Ginger around the corner for Thai!)... And not only is it the tastiest option you'll find in the area for pizzas and subs, but the prices are reasonable too. They're always doing a lot of business in there, and for good reason -- these guys know their stuff, they've been at it a long time! Don't sleep on Mama Gina's when you crave a really tasty pizza or sub! read more

Awesome place when I'm the go oand want a fresh slice box, pizza is pretty banging here ...

We've been on a quest for the best Buffalo chicken pizza in Boston, and this is it. There's some variability in quality but on the best days this is better than NYC pizza and on average days it's very good. Delivery is usually very quick. read more

Always enjoyed the pizza here back when i lived in somerville. It wasn't fancy gourmet dishes some places nearby make, but just a great classic pizza. If you want a regular pizza done well, this is the place. I enjoyed talking to the guys at the counter too. Give it a try. read more

I've ordered from here probably six dozen times over the years. This past year or so the quality of service & food have both diminished greatly. The last two times I've ordered the food has taken over an hour to arrive despite my office being located probably only a half mile away. When I called to ask if the driver had left yet the woman said, "he should be there now," which, I disagreed. He should have been here 45 minutes ago. They are always tipped nicely & I ordered during a low-volume time period. Attached is a photo of my "tuna" sub. What is it? I threw it away immediately. read more

Literally the best pizza in the Boston area. And their subs are pretty great as well. If you don't enjoy mama Gina's, then just leave Somerville. read more

Good and fairly quick delivery. A tad pricey, but I must say, you're not hungry after eating!

I like this place- have ordered from here a few times now and it's not the best but pretty good. The pizza is decent and I like that their tuna isn't too wet so you won't get a watery wrap! I'm told their chicken subs are quite good. Their fries are bad though. The people are all very nice. read more

Everyplace you go, NO ONE BUT NO ONE, knows how to make a caesar salad. This caesar was perfect. Croutons that were not mushy, only Romaine Lettuce and not all the other crap that other restaurants put in. Just enough parmesan Cheese and a Caesar dressing that didn't have too much lemon. BRAVO MAMA GINA'S. I am told it was made by EDGAR. Congratulations!!!! You can teach the other restaurants. read more

I ordered a turkey club wrap with no tomatoes and they delivered a turkey sub with every thing including hots and it had no bacon. I'm allergic to hots and tomatoes which is why I ordered without tomatoes. When I called to get a refund the person on the phone was very rude and told me he is the manager and if I talked to anyone else they would tell me that I can't get a refund. The man was very rude!! read more

I've ordered from them personally and for school-related events many times. Yes there's been issues such as late delivery but the pizza is decent (former New Yorker here so I have standards) and cheap. But after the last time I tried to order, never again. First, when someone places an order for three pizzas, you don't say "that's it?" in an incredulous tone implying "why are you wasting my time with only a three pizza order"? Sorry that I'm "only" ordering three pizzas but little did you know I was going to place an order right after for about ten more pizzas on a separate date. #yourloss Even if I wasn't, business is business. Second, like I've said, I've ordered from them for school-related events, meaning it should be tax-exempt. It's never been an issue and they've always been accommodating. Yes it's not that much money, but it's the rules I have to follow. Telling me they don't accommodate when they have done it before is frankly just a lie. read more

Got the special 2 slice and a can of soda counter guy gave me cold slices I ask to warm them up seems like he didn't want to said you want it more warm I was like they're cold bad attitude not polite first time here an last never coming back get your attitude straight plus pizza was horrible if the pizza is bad everything else must suck gross ... read more

Great portions and super tasty! I got a medium calzone and it was bigger than my head. I Loved it.

Food has gone downhill BIG time. They also sent 2 crispy chicken wraps instead of the chicken Caesar wraps that we ordered. We used to love their chicken broccoli Alfredo and chicken Caesar wraps but now they're different and not good. We will not be ordering again after many disappointing deliveries. SMH. read more

I am currently looking at a pizza from Mama Gina's now. Wow, am I disappointed. First I ordered at 6:20 and live a 10 minute drive away with traffic and it arrived at 7:40, barely room temperature and not cut. So angry and never ordering from this place again. read more

The best slice of pizza I've had in ten years in Boston. I've never gotten a sandwich here, I've never ordered anything to go or for delivery, and still I give them five stars. Why? The slices are full size yet thin, the crust bordering on crisp, the sauce and cheese even and restrained in their amounts. It reminds me of the wood-oven pies of New Jersey, a delicious thin slice that you just want to sprinkle a little oregano on and love every moment you spend together. read more

Go Classic Rock Pizza! This is hands down the best pizza in Union Square. It's thin crust, a little doughy but good. Update: The sauce is a little sweet and a lot garlic. The crust is quite crispy and sturdy for thin crust pizza. The cheese is OK but doesn't really have the flavor to match the sauce and crust. read more

Mama Gina's (and the seedy convenience store down a couple doors down) encapsulate everything I miss about Boston 10 years ago. It's a little dingy, got some cool stuff on the walls. Everyone who works tehre grew up togehter (and apparently used to get into a lot of fights in lincoln pahk). It's a total local pizza joint, which I think it really fuckin cool. but on top of that, their pizza is pretty good. I'm willing to break with my diet form time totime to stop in and enjoy it (and for those of you who know me, and know how well I digest wheat these days, that's a better review than any nice things I can say) Point is, I love this place, and if I found out it were going under, I'd cry. hysterically. read more

Mama Gina's makes some great pizza, it's thin, crisp & the sauce is very flavorful. We went there yesterday for some slices and my bf got the chicken finger plate. The chicken fingers & the fries that came with it were very good. The side of BBQ sauce wasn't anything to write home about, but the chicken didn't need any extras to be tasty. They have lots of sides, including jalepeno poppers, onion rings garlic bread, etc. Oh, and be sure to try their deep fried ravioli, I haven't found many places in the area that make this side, and Mama Gina's does an excellent job. It comes with a side of their marinara. If you are not in the mood for pizza, they also make a fine sub or wrap with any topping imaginable. I love their steak & cheese. They make salads as well, but I've never tried them. They deliver, but there is a $1 delivery fee. read more

I've ordered from here once with Cara on super bowl Sunday and once for a little romantic, candlelit calzone filled dinner with Jesse. Both were very solid experiences. The first experience came about because Cara and I wanted buffalo chicken tenders and all of the wing places weren't picking up. Go figure. I looked on foodler and placed and order for two chicken wing dinners for me and my lady friend. It was delivered within a reasonable amount of time (under 45 minutes on a super busy day) and our food was nice and hot. The buffalo chicken was spicy, sauce covered, and abundant, and the fries were oh so delicious and crunchy. The blue cheese was a generous in size and had a good flavor. We also ordered jalapeno poppers, just to make she we consumed enough grease. The second time was on a Thursday night with Jesse, and I enjoyed the buffalo chicken so much that I ordered it again. I ordered him a sausage and ricotta calzone as he was sleeping. The calzones are gigantic and really, really good. We normally order from Dial A Pizza, but Mama Gina's did give it a run for it's money. The service is always friendly if we have to call, and they always put the tip on before it's delivered so no signature is required. The quicker they are gone, the quicker you're eating your dinner! We'll definitely be ordering again......if nothing else, the buffalo chicken dinner when we're wanting something spicy to burn up our digestive systems. read more

Good pizza and excellent buffalo wings. I can't believe how well the wings held up as they were delivered to me on a sultry summer night. They were so good! Reminded me of Buff's in Newton. Pizza was good, could have been hotter and less cheese (as I specified when I ordered). Already had Mama Gina's twice this week! read more
