The ambience of Mama Mia is a bit drab, somewhere between cafeteria and homely. The staff are all quite pleasant. There's a pool table by the bar, and hit rock tunes playing over the speakers. It's approximately on par with what you would expect for small-town Italian with a bar. In contrast to the rest of the digs, the pizza was quite remarkable. The chef clearly puts great care into his pizza. Crunchy but airy crust with an appropriate thickness to it. The cheese blend was clearly chosen with care. And the tomato sauce beautifully wove the rest of the ingredients together. I'd highly recommend Mama Mia for a family wanting some pizza after a day out hiking or skiing. I'm certain it will be a lovely time. read more

This is an aberage pizza joint. The food is okay but doesn't support the high prices.

Wildly inconsistent. Watery hot sauce. Delayed ordering and serving. Ain't no mamma to me :( Server was very nice though read more

Delicious pizzeria and Italian restaurant right in the valley! Some of their dishes are a bit higher on the garlic side which I like, especially their garlic bread which is awesome! They have a great view of the mountains in the back of the restaurant! They do get a bit busy on busy holiday weekends just as all the restaurants in the area do read more

Welcome Mama Mia. Mama Mia, given the closing of Big John's has an excellent opportunity. We have dined here several times and do recommend. Sorta of pricey for a pasta joint. Management has LOTS of room for improvement. Important to offer a system for online take away. How to acquire employees in this area? Do add Credit Card payment - even for added fees. Service is often slow and indifferent. Pasta products are Very Good. Given families, consider adding burgers to the Italian menu. In ski season on Saturday night, good luck with parking and finding a table. Not much competition in CV or Davis. Potential for becoming an attractive restaurant. read more

Rolling into Mama Mia's on a Tuesday night felt like stumbling onto the set of a 1970s mountain biker flick--half the joint was dimmed down like they were saving power for the jukebox that probably hasn't worked since '84. And honestly? We loved it. Our window seat gave us a dreamy view of the hills, and even though it was off-season and the bar was closed, the place had a quiet charm--like your cool uncle's favorite hideout. Two servers ran the floor like pros, gliding between tables with that "we got this" energy. The food? Chef Boyar-WHO? My angel hair with mushroom sauce was the real deal--rich, savory, and soul-warming. The rolls? Retro perfection. Think buttery clouds sent from a carb-loving heaven. Phil's pizza (mushrooms + banana peppers) was a hot, cheesy masterpiece he devoured like he'd just outrun the fuzz on a vintage Harley. So yeah, ignore the drama from past reviews. This isn't a Michelin-star dining temple. It's a solid, no-nonsense, old-school mountain spot that still believes food should taste good, servers should be kind, and views should make you pause mid-bite. Groovy place. We'll be back--with bell bottoms and appetites. read more

This place is so mid. The service is usually bad and the food is typically worse. The only thing they have going for them is that they stay open later and they're the only restaurant/bar in the valley. read more

Canaan Valley has been somewhat limited in dining choices. Mamma Mia was a pleasant surprise when we discovered it a year ago, and look forward to eating here when visiting the area. Eat in the back room during sunset for a beautiful view. We had chicken parmigiana and lasagna. Both portions were plentiful, served with garlic rolls and salad. Husbands Caesar salad had plenty of shaved Parmesan. Rolls are homemade and a highlight to the meal. Tip to MGMT - invest in blue big lights OR ask staff to stop propping doors open. While your backyard view is GORGEOUS, the flies buzzing in the windows are off-putting. read more

Ignore the whining maggot reviews. Went this evening with my wife and son. Spaghetti with meat sauce was great. Wife had chicken parm. She loved it. Son had veal parm and loved it. Wait staff was very attentive. Over all great. Cheers! read more

Service was great and food was delicious. I really enjoyed my house salad with pizza. The garlic bread appetizer was great!!

We should have taken the disorganized seating as a warning. We found a table it took almost 15 minutes to even be given menus and then the waitress acted like she was doing us a favor. She took our drink order brought the drinks and then disappeared. After another 10 minutes we had to flag her down to take our order. My husbands meal was supposed to have rolls and a salad after 40 minutes no sign of his salad or rolls (or our waitress) we asked for the check for our drinks and we were going to leave. Suddenly our food was supposedly coming right now. It came out cold (we ordered 2 hot subs and veal parmigian) sloppily plated. It was not edible. They offered no apologies. We will not be back. I have never in my life not tipped. Even on bad service I tip. But tonight I did not leave a tip. I felt they robbed me of almost $90 for 4 terrible meals. read more

We were happy to find a place that was open and offering pizza and decided to try Mama Mia. Though the portions were generous...the food was not good. I had the stuffed shells and they were hard and gritty tasting. The salad had the most interesting array of vegetables that did not go together. The bartenders were nice but struggled to work the cash register and process people's payment properly. Bar was sticky. read more

Food was great. The garlic rolls especially were delicious. Service was quick. Beautiful views of Canaan Valley.

Went with my family to enjoy some food but it was not enjoyable. Pasta was no better than a frozen tv dinner. The hoagie was also not a great choice. I got the meatball hoagie and was very disappointed. The meatballs tasted freezer burnt. And after all that I spent over $100 for 3 adults and 1 child for food we definitely could have made better at home for a fraction of the cost. Lesson learned and we won't be returning. If I could give it zero stars I would. read more

I was torn on this place. It looked like a really nice place to dine for dinner. I was there for lunch and it was really slow, so most of the place was closed. The salad came out and was supper good. The bread came out and was super garlicky, and cold which I thought was weird. Had the lunch special, chicken parm. The sauce and spaghetti was good, the chicken was super over cooked and dry. The other people with me didn't order the special and theirs was really good. read more

Service and food were both awesome, especially the garlic knots and chicken broccoli. All portions were too big for one sitting. Definitely enough for lunch the next day. Air conditioning wasn't working well so it was quite warm in the restaurant. Despite that, we will absolutely be back. read more

Don't come here if you're in a hurry or expect good service. I had lunch with two others on a Sunday afternoon. There were maybe five tables. We waited for over an hour for our food, while never being checked on or getting refills. I never write reviews but this was insane. read more

My mother and I had a really lovely meal there. Great pizza and very friendly staff. It was fun to watch the deer from the big back windows. Recommend. read more

Wow. Just wow. Mama Mia? More like mama diarrhea is both taste, smell, ambiance, and look. I went to take a look on the kitchen (just out of pure curiosity on who the hell or what the hell were they making in that dog food processing plant) and I was pleasantly surprised to see two teenagers unloading and running to the local 7-11. Surprisingly enough, the best thing about this restaurant was the 9 waters I had to drink while I was eating the food so I could swallow it like a pill. Restaurant was strangely quiet (mostly because we were the only suckers to venture in there, because I know damn well no one is ever, ever returning. Bonus! There was legitimately vomit in the parking lot right outside. Hilarious! read more

Service was terrible! Waited 30 minutes to even have someone greet our table. Three other tables came in after us and were served first. Servers were all teenagers who were very rude and fought over who had to take our table. We ended up walking to the bar to get our own drinks. Pizzas were fine, but they need to learn some work ethic at this place. read more

This restaurant could be plopped down into any strip mall in America and fit in. It has no soul or character. Blank walls and cheap furniture. Food and service is just okay. Go there if you want to drink Bud Lite beer as no local options. read more

This restaurant is very close to Canaan & Timberline resorts, located in the same plaza has Ski Barn. Nice large bar area and plenty of seating. Beautiful large window with a pretty view. Service was very good. The food was excellent. Penne ala Vodka with sausage was delicious. The Sicilian Pizza was delicious. Servings are huge. They are working on setting up delivery but they do offer carry out. I will definitely return to this restaurant on my next visit to the valley. read more

We have eaten here twice (once, dining in- once to go) and have had great experiences. Both times we've ordered pizza and it arrives hot and fresh, high equality ingredients. The Stromboli portions are huge! Definitely enough for 3-4 people if you get the large. Staff are friendly and attentive. The first time we visited they were packed and we got the last table available. I was worried the wait would take forever but they were able to offer us quick service. We'll definitely keep coming back- it's a great place to get a meal after a long day of skiing. read more

Not much open in Davis West Virginia on a weeknight in January. Received advice from some locals not to eat here because the pizzas weren't the best....lots of oil. We tried anyway given the time of night. A fairly large restaurant with high ceilings, well lit, and red and white checkered table clothes. Not crowded on a Wednesday night. Good beer on draft. The warm dinner rolls were saturated in a garlic oil. Saturated is an understatement. We ordered another basket because there were really good. Our shrimp pasta dinner and calzone were equally good. The staff was prompt and pleasant. Overall a good experience. Glad we went and would probably return if we ever return to Davis. read more

Mama mia - Warm garlic rolls - Pizza Near Me - Davis, West Virginia

We arrived at 5:30. You seat yourself and it took ten minutes to get service and we put our orders in at that time. They were fairly busy but had at least 4 waitresses plus someone that was busing and workers at the bar and one out front with to-go orders. I got my salad and rolls quickly but took another twenty minutes to finally get our drinks which I had to ask another waitress for. At 6:30 we were told it should be coming soon. At 6:45 we were told they only had one cook. At 7:00 we were told it was in the oven and should be coming. My baked ziti came out at 7:10 and was cold and VeRy watery! The two noodles I did taste were chewy and waaaay over cooked. At this point we went to say we were done and leaving. My husbands calzone came out while we were doing this...after another table that came in half an hour after us got their calzone and pizza. I also ordered a cannoli when we ordered everything else and never got it either. We never saw a manager at any point. As we were leaving we saw several folks with red shirts in the kitchen area so not believing there was actually only one cook. The waitress was "nice" enough to comp the salad I did actually eat. There was nothing else offered up for the experience. So after 2 hours we left, still hungry. I have never had such an aggravating experience! Would not recommend and would give zero stars if possible! read more

A bit pricey but very good food! We had the calamari for an app, was crispy with tender calamari not too greasy. My husband had the lasagna and I had the cheese ravioli. Both were delicious with generous portions. One of the salads was missing but they were nice to remedy the situation. Would def recommend! read more

See my attached post below added to restaurant's site. Mama mias at Canaan Valley Davis WV. Bad experience. On vaca. Take out. Missing shrimp... missing ceasar dressing. Food intolerance. . Garlic. Yet my pasta had garlic on it (instead of butter). They do not care when they make a mistake or they do not stand by what they promised. Wanted me to drive back to get shrimp to eat with GARLIC pasta. I only have 3 days to relax!! No refund as I have a food intolerance and ate a dry ceasar side salad and a small piece of gluten free pizza. . If I could have gotten a refund I would have driven back later.

Not a lot of options for people with allergies. Food is bunch of stuff pilled on each other. Cheese on everything even though waiters were told no cheese. The waiter are spaced out and not very helpful. Food is way to over priced and disgusting. Penne pasta is 20$ for a small portion. read more

Our food was good, not great, but they handled my severe food allergy very well! Our waitress was friendly and took my food allergy seriously, and the entire kitchen staff went the extra mile to make sure that my pasta dish was safe from any type of cross-contamination. Decent portions and a great price! read more

Nice Italian restaurant near skiing in Davis, WV. The smell was inviting upon entering the restaurant. Other observations: - the restaurant dining area was clean - the kitchen was spotless - the wait staff was friendly - the manager came to our table to check on us The NY pizza was good, the chicken Alfred was good, as was the shrimp Alfredo. Our youngest asked for a grilled cheese sandwich. While not a menu item, they accommodated her request. There was a bit too much garlic on the bread, but that is a matter of personal taste. read more

Great selection of food! Good view, atmosphere and great location. Second day open but friendly and attentive staff! read more

Excellent pasta dishes. Pizza is a standard NY Style and just ok. My manicotti was excellent. The ricotta mixture and sauce went together perfectly and the pasta was tender. My husband said his baked ziti was the best he's had; being that his pasta was cooked perfectly. We both agreed the red sauce was thin, but still had great flavor. Garlic bread looked good, but was bland. The cheesecake was good and you can tell it's made in house. While our waitress was really nice, I will say that service was slow. When we got there we walked in at the same time as another couple at the same time and we sat at the same time. Another couple walked in several minutes afterwards and they were greeted and had drinks before we even got a menu. We also had to hear the waitresses argue who was going to take our table. Not very professional. Food was slow to come out as well. The restaurant wasn't busy. So while the food was really great, in future we would only consider going only if we have plenty of time. Prices are on the high side too. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! Worst dining experience we've ever had! Where to begin. 1. The food was terrible, my grown son suddenly excused himself from the table and existed the building , I knew something was wrong and ask for take out cartons for our meals. I went outside and discovered he had thrown his food up in the parking lot, stating it was "bad" and we needed to leave. I went back inside and tried to let the head waitress know only to be meet with I'll get the manager... we didn't have time for that ! We had someone sick in the parking lot! My husband paid the bill anyway and we got out of there, threw away the leftovers as soon as we got back to the resort (we didn't know when we ask for take out cartons there was an issue)... 2.A person in our party ordered a simple grilled chicken salad and didn't receive it until just before we had to leave (at least 15 minutes after we all received our cooked meals!, they stated they forgot it and offered a 10% discount, that was outrageous, it should have been complimentary at that point ) 3.Did I mention the live horribly LOUD unpleasant country music? It was awful! This started up after we placed our order. If we'd walked in and that was in process we'd would have immediately walked out, not at all the atmosphere you would have expected for a nice meal! If you want a honky tonk, biker bar experience, this is the place! I looked around and none of the patrons were happy with that atrociously loud music, no way you could have a conversation! We spent close to $100.00 and it ended up as barf and the rest was trashed! read more

Decent atmosphere and selection. Bar inside. We got the Mamas special pizza, a salad and Pasta Francesco. The pizza and the pasta were very, very salty making it not so enjoyable. Salad was fine. Location is good and close to ski resorts. read more

Incompetent and not customer friendly. Owner talks a good game, but is not interested in being a community servant. Buy frozen pizza instead. read more

We ordered a large pizza an a large stromboli over the phone. Because the menu lists both New York style and Sicilian style pizza, we requested confirmation that the large pizza would be New York style. Person taking our order didn't understand what New York style or Sicilian style is. We also asked whether the stromboli contained all the fillings listed, or if we had to choose among the fillings that were listed. Person taking our order told us that all fillings were in the stromboli. When we arrived to pay for and pick up the order, they tried to charge us extra for the fillings in the stromboli. Jay-zus, people! Why don't you try reading your own menu? Or, if you don't know the answer, ask another staff member who does know the answer. As for pizza, Mama Mia doesn't know the first thing about a proper Margherita pie. We threw away half of ours. read more

My husband & I were vacationing in the area & decided to stop at Mama Mia. The bread was very good, delicious toppings, fresh, warm. Yummy! I ordered veal scaloppini picata. I had high hopes that it would be delicious. I haven't had veal in ages. Unfortunately the veal was tough & tasted like there were 50 cloves of garlic in the dish. It was disappointing. My husband ordered penne putanesca with sausage. He said the meal was 3-1/2 stars. Ok but not great. If the chef would go much lighter on the garlic & not over-cook the veal, it would greatly improve the taste! I'm sorry to post a not-very-good review, but I want to let future customers know about the quality of food they are paying for. read more
