Stromboli
Nolan S.

This place first caught my eye leaving Home Depot off Hwy 83 and I was curious about it. I stopped in for dinner during a weeknight and this place was packed. The service is great and wait staff are friendly. I have had the stromboli and veggie lasagna, both were amazing. Its a really nice place inside too and it is much bigger than it looks. They have a big outdoor patio which was closed at the time due to rain and cold. Definitely stop here and support local!

Mozzarella Sticks, already eaten 2 of them.

The mozzarella sticks for the appetizer were really crisp and the cheese very good and the deep dish pizza was really good.

Hand-tossed pizza
Rohit G.

There isn't a huge selection of pizza places in McAllen so I was excited to try Mama Mia's Pizzeria. There was no wait to be seated. ATMOSPHERE: This place has cute, homely vibes. The inside is a nice brick interior that makes you feel like you are in a cozy cafe. It was clean and well-maintained. FOOD: We ordered a hand-tossed and a deep dish pizza. Overall the pizza quality was okay. I think they put a generous amount of toppings which tasted fine, but didn't jump out at me as fresh and flavorful. The crust tasted a little stale to me on the hand-tossed. I'm also not a big fan of square-cutting pizzas so if you feel the same, I would recommend asking them to cut it like a traditional pie. The deep dish was hearty and had a good balance of sauce, toppings, and cheese, and I liked it more than the hand-tossed. SERVICE: Good. It was pretty empty when I visited (early dinner) so I got a lot of attention from the wait staff which was nice. PRICE/VALUE: Pretty standard prices for a pizza place. I actually thought the price of the deep dish (~$7.75 + $1.25/topping) for a small) is really reasonable for the heartiness and the taste. Overall an okay pizza option if you are in the area. The food quality wasn't amazing but I liked sitting in the restaurant and it filled my pizza craving at the time.

Create Your Own deep dish was great
Samantha M.

A spot to take cute pictures for sure. From the outside to the inside you can def get some great shots at this venue. As for the food. The Spinach and Artichoke was a waste of money. You can see from the picture it was drowned in oil and literally all the flavor was gone. However, they did make up on the quality of the entrees. But the service wasn't the best for accommodations. We got the portobello mushroom salad. We requested the salad have the dressing mixed instead of on the side. We were told they were not able to accommodate the request. (Not a big deal but felt it should be mentioned for those that are a bit more stent on their food preparedness) The create your own pizza deep dish was great. The additional toppings were about $1.24-1.50 for each but the quality was great. The vegetarian lasagna came in a huge portion and didn't not disappoint. The chicken picante pasta was spicy not too spicy but it was delicious and it was my favorite by far. Our server did forget to bring out one entree and wasn't as attentive to the table as I would have liked but it wasn't horrible either. I would def give this spot another try!

Wall decor, environment

An absolutely stunning restaurant that feels like you're not even in the valley, 10/10 would eat here again! The food was so delicious and the service made it even better.

Canadian Bacon & Pineapple Hand Tossed Pizza!

OMG, where to begin! This place was amazing! The service was fantastic. The food fresh and delicious! The place was warm and inviting and had cute signs with hilarious sayings (but often true) hanging all over the place. Our server was so helpful and suggested great appetizers and she was very attentive too. Our glasses never went empty! If you are looking for terrific Italian food, my husband and I highly recommend giving this place a try! It's family run and they care about their customers. Will be back for sure!!!

If you're looking for a pizza spot that's a little different, NAPO is worth checking out. Tucked…read moreaway in McAllen, TX, this fun little pizzeria balances the classics with some unexpectedly creative combinations. Our group of six stopped in on a Tuesday evening and we were able to get seated without a wait--though we may have just gotten lucky! The menu has everything from traditional flavors to more adventurous options. Hot Cheetos on a pizza? Some might think it's crazy but it works! I ordered the Franz pizza and absolutely loved it. I shared a few slices with the table, and everyone was also surprised by how well the flavors came together. The dough was perfection! The atmosphere is just as entertaining as the food--there's a giant video wall that I assume is a nice spot on game days. The décor puts a playful spin on classic Italian artwork, which perfectly reflects the restaurant's creative approach to pizza. All in all, it's a great spot for groups, has a relaxed vibe, and serves pizzas that are both delicious and memorable. I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area!

The crust was chewy but didn't taste like anything. The pizza also didn't have enough pizza sauce. The ranch dressing severely lacked seasoning. It tasted more like straight mayo instead of ranch. The online order portal needs updating. There was no description for what Napo sauce is and there was no listing for pizza sauce/marinara under the sides of sauce.

We've gone through the routine of JC Penny's, Dillards, and Sears and now it's time for my food court reward for not misbehaving. Many of you might not remember or have been born yet, but the place that took center stage and what was my favorite pizza place to this day was Luca Pizza. I'll always remember a worker wearing their chef's whites offering samples in the dining area, and my mom taking one for each of us. Every time I ate a piece I thought, "man, no wonder the Ninja Turtles love pizza so much". And then one day it was gone. The pizzeria that I loved so much growing up was no longer there, and it felt like it took all my memories with it. I thought that was it. All we have left here in The Valley is global pizza chains. Nothing made with heart. But then a cousin of mine told me that one of the cooks opened up his own place in Mission on Conway called "Pizza di Roma". Familiar faces. Familiar flavors. Familiar memories. After getting a haircut at Tatan's I would drive over and walk through the back entrance after passing their herb garden and get a pie. Things were right in the world, and wouldn't you know it, I came to learn that the full name of Luca Pizza was "Luca Pizza di Roma". Hah! And then one day it was gone. The doors were shut. The lights were off. Surely this can't be happening again right? Of course it was. The story would repeat itself with yet another pizzeria with the same staff called Titto's Pizzeria in Palmview until that too was gone, only this time there was no new incarnation. The spiritual descendants of Luca Pizza in The Plaza Mall were now all gone. There was no more pizza to be made from them anymore. Their story, as far as I know, had ended. And then one day I discovered The Pizzeria. The same cousin recommended it saying it reminded him of Pizza di Roma. Familiar ingredients! Familiar flavors! So, of course, I made the trek to Harlingen. Has anyone ever had that experience where they open the doors to a restaurant and you're immediately hit in the face with the smell that defines their restaurant? For steak houses it's the smell of the smoke coming from a seared steak, for panaderias it's the smell of sugar and freshly baked bread, and for coffee shops it's the smell of the sweetness of freshly ground coffee beans. For The Pizzeria, it was the smell of a caramelized pizza crust, the burnt flour left over in the oven, and the unmistakable heat and smell of a 450 degree oven that has baked thousands of pies in its lifetime. Now, I've been a loyal fan of this local pizza chain for years, and when their Harlingen location first opened, I still remember walking in and feeling like I had stepped into a true, passion-driven pizzeria. The place had energy, heart, and a sense of pride. Perhaps not familiar faces, but familiar flavors and, yes, familiar memories. But lately, something's changed, and not for the better. My recent visits to the Mission location have felt strangely lifeless in comparison. While the ingredients are still fresh, the execution hasn't been keeping up. The crusts come out uneven, the bakes inconsistent, and the attention to detail that once defined them seems to be fading. The frustrating part is that they still have all the ingredients (pun intended) to be great. Every single bite I take I think "This is good, and it's so close to being great, but it's just not there." What's lacking now is technique and care. The fundamentals aren't being applied with the same precision or passion they used to, and the result shows. I genuinely hope they can turn things around, because this isn't a lost cause. They've proven before, especially in those early Harlingen days, that they can deliver pizza with real heart. With a renewed focus on craftsmanship and consistency, they could easily reclaim what made them special. I want to keep cheering for them, but they need to rediscover the spark that once set them apart.

The pizza was delicious and the crust lived up to the hype as absolutely fantastic. But let's also talk culture and ambience. I learned this place has been open about four months. Let's face it, you can get pizza a million different ways in a million different places. So why here? What makes this place special in my mind is not just that the pizza is delicious but that it is a truly family run business that treats you like family when you're there. Brothers Alfredo and Victor were who I met. Also involved are a sister, a brother in law, mom behind the register, and Alfredo Sr. serving fresh popped popcorn. And what they created together was a fun, electric vibe that felt like a community. And they invited in seven food trucks that complement the park with a variety of other food types so there's something for everyone. In the end, I just love success stories and I want to help champion this family for having the vision, resilience, and drive to bring this community closer together with great food. Do yourself a favor and check it out for yourself.
