    2 slice of pepperoni.  Great crust, sauce toppings all in all great slice.
    Michael D.

    Driving around and realized I was famished. Jumped on Yelp and found Mama Lena's II. If you are looking for a quick slice stop by. Quick and fair price. If you are hungry stop by you won't be sorry.

    a pizza in a box
    Natalie B.

    I was hardcore craving pizza yesterday. And I wanted the authentic stuff, not the terrible "might as well have gotten frozen" pizza. I yelped pizza places near me and Mama Lena's menu spoke to me. We got the Hawaiian pizza. It was a nice fluffy crust, tons of cheese, and just absolute perfection in the distribution of toppings. My only reason to dock a star is that the neighborhood isn't great and parking is awful. My boyfriend locked me in the vehicle to go get it himself since there was no way to pull up closer. However, I'm willing to fight through it for more of Mama Lenas!

    Half rack of Ribs and fries
    Chai A.

    I heard all the hype about this place from friends and coworkers so I finally made my way across the bridge and got a seat in the dinning room with my mom and son. We ordered the child's size spaghetti and meatball, nacho grande, 2 slices of steak and ranch pizza, order of ribs, corned beef sandwich and fries)(never go to a restaurant where your starving ‍). Food came super quick and I mean like within 5 minutes. I absolutely loved the corned beef sandwich its kind of like a primantis but much better. The bun was Mancini and the top of it was brushed with what I believe was butter. No fat on the corned beef, Cole slaw was the best I ever had and the fries were seasoned and crispy. The steak and ranch pizza was bug and really flavorful you can tell they use fresh ingredients. My son loved his spaghetti and the helping was so big he didn't make it through even a quarter of the meal. The nachos grande were OK nothing out of the ordinary. All toppings were fresh (including actual real beef) and presented well. The ribs let me tell you.... THE RIBS! Surprised the hell out of me that you could get ribs like these at a pizza joint. They were fresh, meaty, perfectly cooked and the sauce was well balanced with smoky and sweet. They were also presented very well on a platter. Our server was a sweatheart and was very informative of the business, its history and recommended some of her favorite dishes. I will definitely stop driving past this place on my way home from work. This is now my go to spot.

    Very Hot and Wet Cajun Wings
    Nena U.

    First time trying Mama Lenas "II" I was a fan of the original. Steeler Sunday so craving wings big time. I had a tough time finding a menu online - that listed their wing flavors. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the flavored over the phone when I called to place the order. There were many selections. I chose Very Hot and Wet Cajun. The Cajun were very good and I am indeed impressed. The Very hot weren't that hot. They seemed like just hot wings with red pepper flakes on them.. but they were tasty. I ordered a side of fries. I don't expect fresh cut fries but it seems like every pizza/hoagie establishment in the area has the exact same fries. They are slightly coated with like a beer batter or something. I am always looking for the place that has great fresh fries. These were ok but just the same as any other place - meh. Hooray for the Cajun wings. I look forward to going back and trying something else. Thank you Mama Lena's II.

    Honest review! 10/10…read more Let's start with the fact that I could smell this place down the street before I even got out of my car! My mouth was salivating before I even got inside! As a new Yorker, it's so very hard to impress me when it comes to Pizza! I'm the pickiest! A true pizza snob! But this place was well worth all the hype! Underrated if you ask me! All of the staff were very friendly, and helped me decide what to try. It definitely gives "family vibes" as soon as you walk in there. It's the definition of a hole in the wall, but I loved it. I live all the way in east Pittsburgh by plum and I drive ALLL the way over to Brookline, through the tunnels and under the bridges and over the bridges and under the tunnels again LOL. Its 100% worth the drive. No other pizza will do. Also the provolone Sticks are to die for. Literally, I almost died. So cheesy! Be warned its a mouth full haha.

    Their pizza has quite the following, especially with those that grew up on that side of the city…read more It's tasty but it's also greasy (see pic). Grease seeped through the box onto my table. The sauce is sweet and the cheese is a nice blend. Call in or walk in ordering. They do now take credit cards but charge a fee. Two slides of pepperoni is ~$10. There are a few tables if you want to eat in. Place gets super busy. Cell service is pretty non existent, this plays in if you want to tap and pay.

We have recently tried the Pesto pizza (I sub chicken on top instead) and the brisket mac and cheese which was probably the biggest mac and cheese I have ever seen and super yummy. If you haven't checked it out yet I definitely recommend it to everyone I know!

I tried a black cherry ale that was delicious. My husband got a Vienna lager he enjoyed. He got the black and gold pizza with potatoes, garlic sauce, pepper, res onion parmesan, and provolone. It is fired in their brick oven with a crispy crust. He enjoyed it but it was a little over done and it was hard to distinguish the toppings as the char was heavy. I got the carbonara. It was definitely not traditional. The sauce was very thick and almost floury. They serve it with pork belly, which does not give the same punch of flavor to cut through the sauce as guanchali or bacon. The papardelle noodle were dry and clumpy. The dish was very heavy. Do not recommend. The place is chill. It is close to the theater. I might try it again if in the area.
