We tried this place for the first time and it quickly earned a spot on our favorites list. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. Our waitress, Farrah, was fantastic--she was warm, attentive, and had just the right mix of professionalism and friendliness that really stood out. The food came out surprisingly fast, which was impressive given how fresh and hot everything was. We started with the cheesy bacon fries and paired them with the BBQ ranch (that's what I call it), and it was an absolute game-changer--rich, flavorful, and something we'll definitely be ordering again. Every bite tasted like it was made to order, not rushed or thrown together. The atmosphere was just as enjoyable as the food. The restaurant had plenty of seating, so it never felt cramped, and everything was spotless and well-kept. What stood out most was the sense of community--many of the staff seemed to know the customers by name, creating a warm, welcoming vibe that made the place feel more like a neighborhood gathering spot than just another restaurant. Between the top-notch service, delicious food, and how quickly everything was served, this place checks all the boxes. We'll absolutely be back to try more of the entrees on the menu. read more

Yes yes yes!! Good food all the way around. Nice fresh salad. My favorite is the eggplant parmigiana. And I am very picky about this particular dish. I find it hard to choose anything else. But their Greek food is good. The subs and pizzas are good. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. read more

This is a wonderful five star restaurant! Some of the most delicious comfort food that you could ask for! I was greeted quickly even though it was the busy diner time at 6:30. Nice vibe and energy- other guests had great looking food and seemed to really be enjoying their meals. And when you walk in and are hit with that delicious smell you know you've made the right choice. I took a seat at a booth, comfortable and clean tables. I mostly knew what I wanted so I quickly ordered a soft drink and 12" Philly cheese steak with a side of onion rings. It was a lot more food than I realized. Very fair portions for all the food. Nice quality meat and cheese on the sub and the lettuce and tomato were fresh. The onion rings were cooked properly with nice meaty pieces of onion inside. Take a look at the menu and when you're anywhere near this restaurant come on in and give them a try. I'm already looking forward to my next visit - maybe I'll try a pizza . read more

Always exceptional food and they treat everyone like family! Even when busy the service is outstanding!

Good sausage and peppers hero. Friday night gets crowded early. If you don't come by 5:30, you will wait

Ordered a combination meal through door dash a couple of days ago. Without a doubt this was the absolute worst food I've ever tasted. Not edible! read more

Mama Mia Pizza - SLOP. - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Virginia

I ordered a large cheese pizza, steak and cheese sub and pepperoni rolls to go. Pizza was awesome, taste and texture is like a nyc pizza but less floppier.pepperonni rolls were delicious too, marinara sauce was great. The steak and cheese did not carry so well, you would need to eat it there. Brought it home and it was soggy from the grease, the entire bun! I had requested lettuce and tomatoes on the side to minimize the sogginess but it didn't help. Definitely will be back for more when in town. read more

I have wanted to try this place for awhile and finally got to swing in after a round of golf. The service and food were way beyond expectations and they treated you like family. Supporting a family-owned business is the way to go. This pizza had a nice crust and they were generous with the toppings. I also got a steak and cheese that was one of the best I had in the NOVA area. read more

Subs are good, pizza is decent, service is fine. But they always - and I mean every single time - miss on the details. It's a simple thing, I know, but it matters. Example: Grub Hub delivery steak sandwich - notes: NO TOMATOES (I actually capitalized it this time), add provolone (which was a paid add-on, noted only as "add cheese" while placing my online order, so I had to specify the type of cheese in the notes). But of course tomatoes were there and cheese was not. Every. Time. Meh. read more

I've never eaten inside but I go in to pick up my orders. I've been ordering lunch here via the Seamless app for the past couple of months and everything I've tried has been delicious so far! The pastas are too much food for lunch so I always have leftovers for dinner. The sandwiches, gyros and lunch specials are the perfect portion for a lunchtime meal. I took a menu back to work have I have a list of new dishes I'd like to try. So far the chicken gyro, chicken fingers and cheesesteak sandwich are my favorites. read more

I got a pizza from here for the first time. I really liked it, highly recommend if you are craving decent pizza and don't want the regular chain places around. I will definitely be coming back as I live close by. read more

We were shipping at Cabela's and were looking for somewhere for lunch. My 19 year old sons decided Mama Mias looked good according to the reviews. They had personal pizzas and I had an Italian sub. I was really looking forward to my sub. An earlier reviewer commented how they were like the subs he grew up with. It was just like almost every other sub in Northern Virginia and that doesn't say much. It was a nice size with a good amount of meat, cheese, etc. It was relatively flavorless and nothing special. Don't get me wrong. It was good, but nothing more. The boys pizza was good, but not really a standout from any of the other NOVA "deli's". read more

I just had the best Gyro I've had in a long time. Farrah was the sweetest waitress. My girlfriends and I enjoyed our chat with her. Everyone LOVED what they ordered from the menu. I'm from DC and believe me, I WILL return. Clean, happy, affordable..... read more

Nope Never again Not even if it's free at work and I'm hungry. Besides the food being gross, the unsanitary foolish I witnessed made me regret taking the food and not asking for a refund. Somehow the pizza crust was oily and the calamari was fried in old oil. The best part was the server who scratched her neck with her fake nails then served two small pizza with her thumb all hugged up to the crust. Y'all, that's gross pre and post panini, much less during one. Just no read more

The ambiance is okay, the staff has been the same for years. But our pizza was undercooked, we also had 3 hoagie specials which were okay but the tuna salad was runny and loaded with mayo. Greek salad was okay. Wasn't awful, but not memorable either. Pizza was a major disappointment Just average for $110 meal for 4 adults, 2 kids. Sorry. read more

I've tried a number of things from Mama Mia: Steak & Cheese sub with steak fries, Gyro, chicken wings, and a pizza. The Steak & Cheese was your standard what you'd expect to find at any sandwich shop. The Gyro meat was not from one of those rotating spits - I saw them pull what appeared to be frozen strips of Gyro meat out and throw them on the flat top grill. Given all that - both the Steak & Cheese and the Gyro were pretty tasty. The steak fries were also good. The pizza was rather ordinary - I ordered a small one with sausage, pepperoni, bell pepper, onion, black olives, mushrooms, and banana peppers. Was not a fan of their pizza. Finally, the chicken wings were pretty good - I asked for them to be extra crispy. Nothing worse than soft skin on chicken wings. read more

Their food is incredible and the taste alone could definitely be a 5 star. They have a very unique marinara sauce and it makes both their pizza and pastas stand out from others. They're definitely in that higher tier of pizza restaurants above the "fast food pizza" (Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Dominos, etc.), but also better than most mid-tier places, like Tony's, Brooklyn Bros, Manhattan Pizza, etc. read more

Maybe teach the 16 year old who answers the phone not to argue with the guy who has ordered the same pizza three Fridays a month for 5 years, and insist he ordered wrong. Tried this place twice, both times had similar customer service experiences. Too bad the pizza is half way decent. read more

I have been going to Mama Mia's since it opened. It is a very unique place. The food is consistently good and there is a variety from Italian to burgers, or subs. The place is not too busy because of it's location but you will not be disappointed. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are large. Plenty of open parking as well. read more

Great pizza and really fast service. The sauce is good and garlicky like I like it and the salads are legit too. A friend of me turned me into this place and it is legit and will now be in the regular pizza rotation. read more

This is my go to in the area for Italian food. Family run and great, fresh food. The pizza is awesome and they have every thing from subs to a really good Italian dinner. All of it fresh made and reasonably priced. You'll like it. read more

Classic pizza place with a quiet charm. Highly recommended! The Baked Spaghetti is huge!

Where do i start with Mama Mia's, I've been coming here since I was a kid and I have never been disappointed with the AMAZING food and incredibly kind staff! I have never left this place without being full and satisfied with any of their great menu options! My all time favorite menu item has to be there mouthwatering wings made with there house-made wing sauce... ITS TO DIE FOR! Some of my other favorites include the Tom dooly sub, Greek salad, and any of their amazing pizzas made with the most perfect crust! They are also known for their homemade Italian dressing which I use on almost anything! This place is definitely a gem in Gainesville and the perfect place to go when looking for a home cooked delicious meal! I defiantly recommend anyone in the area to head over and check out what Mama Mia's is offering, you won't be disappointed !!!!!! read more

I loved this place. When we came in we were asked what we would like to drink and I mentioned I wanted a beer such as Shock Top. She told me they didn't have that however they did have a beer from Tin Cannon brewery that she was sure I'd like. Sure enough I did. My husband got the trio pasta dish (lasagna, ravioli and spaghetti), my daughter got their alfredo and I got the white pizza. I typically do not like tomato sauce however she said they make their own recipe so I tried it. It was amazing. Very fresh and the flavor was delicious. The whole family loved their dish and the customer service was great too. Will definitely be back. read more

Mama Mia is a hidden gem. Great salads, subs, and Italian. All homemade. Normally eat in but Got Carry out today and it was packed wonderfully. We got a chicken salad, meatball sub, chicken philly, and a turkey. The 12 inch chicken philly is my favorite! Excellent food made with love!!! read more

Stopped by on the way home from the gym. Figured I had earned the stop. Anyway, as the previous reviewer stated, this is a typical small pizza joint. Having lived in Gainesville for almost 13 years I welcome this type of establishment. Up until a few years ago there was only one other place to get pizza here, Joe's. Then the big chains came to town like Poppa Johns and Domino's. Compared to the chains, Momma Mia is head and shoulders above the cardboard with cheese they sell. Our first taste was a ham and pineapple (Hawaiian) large pizza which also came with a small pizza (promotion). We chose the Greek (garlic in oil, spinach, feta, tomato slices and mozzarella cheese) for the small. Both IMHO and that of my family, were very good. We are going to try the subs and/or dinners next. They have a good selection of things and we are looking forward to the experience. read more

Update from our previous review: It took 25 minutes from the time we called about our pizza to the time our new one was delivered. Pizza was pretty solid. Nice and cheesy, ample on the toppings. One downside was it was a little bit on the greasy side. Overall I give this pizza 3.5 stars. Pizza delivery guy was friendly and apologized. We're glad we called and got a new pizza. We will order from them again (: read more

Qualified reviewer, I travel for work almost every week eating at all types of restaurants. I was leaving a customers shop and did a quick search for places to eat. Mind you, it is 4:00pm and I haven't really eaten so I was willing to eat anywhere. Mama Mia pizza popped up as the closest spot. I ordered the chicken cheese steak with fries. Hands down one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. I'll be back for sure. read more

Food, services, and prices were pretty good. The only complaint was my colleague's chicken Parm sub took 15min longer than everyone else's meal which makes it awkward for a customer lunch. At least it was fresh! read more

the food is really good the service is amazing. i suggest you go here, its really cheap too! its the best pizza EVER!

Eddie and his staff are making some the best pizza in Northern VA. We brought our daughter and grandkids here after a session at Bouncing Mania. With a pint of the next door Tin Cannon brewery Blond beer we were in heaven. Nice place all around. Wish they delivered out to New Baltimore. read more

Mama Mia Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Virginia

This restaurant has been in my neighborhood area for over 10 years and this is the first time i have visited. It was excellent! We were a little early for dinner on a Saturday, around 5pm, and we were able to choose a comfortable booth. The service was lightning fast, we ordered and received our drinks right away. The food came very quick and was piping hot. I had spaghetti with meat sauce and it was a wonderful sweet red sauce over a well cooked flavorful pasta. So Good! My wife had the Chicken Marsala and was also very pleased. The chicken was tender and the mushrooms and seasoning were right on point. It's a family Italian restaurant that clearly takes great care with the preparation of the dishes. Portions were generous and there were garden salads and a basket of warm soft and crusty garlic bread for the table. We both Had Italian dressing which was a light white dressing. We also tried the carrot cake and chocolate cake for dessert. The carrot cake was moist and had cream cheese frosting, and the chocolate cake was also moist and had a very smooth creamy chocolate frosting. I can honestly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good authentic Italian meal. The menu is extensive, the prices are very reasonable and the staff is super friendly. This will become a regular stop for us! read more

Best pizza I have had in a long time. And fantastic service. Cannot wait to come in again and try some entrees on your menu.

Do not order delivery during "busy hours" - they mess your order up and take over 2.5 hours to get to your house (that is literally 10 minutes away) We ordered two salads and pasta.... we called back every hour and they told us basically that it was our fault we ordered on a busy night for them and there was only one driver.. (ONE DRIVER!?!?UHHHHHH NOT OKAY) We finally got our food after waiting around since 5pm...... they forgot half the order.... When we called back to tell them and ask why it took so long, they had no remorse or even tried to make it right by giving us a free order next time or anything of that nature. The food isn't anything to write home about, Tony's is much better or the Mama Mia's in Manassas......... read more
