NYC food at starving college student prices! Listen, when I go to a town, I make it my mission to find the best pizza, the best taco and the best burger. I was in town for a wedding and Mama Mia's definitely clinches the best pizza around. I'm a Chicago boy but I love my NYC style, too, and this place hits it out of the park. I'm surprised the ratings aren't higher. The restaurant is located on the Main Street of a cute college town (SUNY Geneseo). At Mama Mia's I ate the Bianca (white pizza with ricotta is how I judge all NY style pizza places), which was rich and garlicky and delicious. The Sausage and the mushroom pizzas were fantastic as well. The owner, Eddie (from Brooklyn, I found out), was making the pies when I walked in. I saw some slices behind the counter with shaved ham and sesame seeds on the crust. He asked me what I was looking at and I told him I wanted to make sure there was no pineapple. He laughed and said, "No judgement" -- I told him I do judge and I'm glad no pineapple was in sight! He took a slice and heated it up and gave it to me to eat (for free!) while I was waiting for the rest of my order. The sesame seeds on the crust were a revelation!! I loved the place so much I came back a second time a day later. If you are looking for fantastic NY pizza, this is the place. Oh, and the chicken Caesar salad was really good, too. read more

Pizza is decent, drink selection could be better. Gatorade is a good option though. For the love of god, though, they need functional AC. Mostly just a nostalgia blast for alumni from my point of view, but still worth a visit for a slice. read more

I usually love this place but ngl I've been here for an hour and told the workers 3 times that I didn't have my pizza as they gave us other parts of our order and we STILL have not got it. I told them 25 minutes ago about the pizza and my bf just had to go BACK up and they STILL haven't started it. There was a rush after us and every single person got their food, ate, and has left but us. I won't be coming back here for a while. Pizza Paul's is where it's at now. read more

Best Italian food in Rochester, hands down! Food is fresh, hot, homemade and delicious every time. Chicken French is to die for!

On a tip from a friend, we stopped at Mama Mia in Geneseo on our way home from Letchworth State Park. We had the super gooey mozzarella sticks, an Eggplant Parm Pizza (made by request), and the Butcher Block Pizza. This is as close to NYC style pizza as we've had living in Upstate/Western NY. The crust was thin, sliced big enough to fold, appropriate amount of cheese grease (if you know, you know). In 17 years of people recommending pizza places that are "really good, no seriously", this was the first one that lived up to the suggestion. This will become a new favorite stop when in the area. read more

Really good butcher shop pizza. Recommended! I'll get it again the next time i'm in ttowb!

Amazing fast service for call in at 12:00 lunch. 15min a medium was done. This was the thinnest best pizza I have had in upstate NY in a very long time! Low amount of salty oily cheese, thin crispy light dough, and thin pepperoni! 1 bite... it gets a 8.2 score! Would have been in the 9's if it held a crisp on the undercarriage! Amazing score great freaking pizza. Guy in the front working today was a great fast employee also. read more

Pizza is always good and my kids loved the slice. I had the chef salad but it didn't sit well with me I got a little sick. I actually got food poisoning from the chicken chef salad.Service was good waited for a fresh slice. Overall appearance could be updated. The bathroom was clean read more

Very good pizza. My kids liked very much it's comparable NYC pizza. I definitely recommend it.

Amazing customer service! Called in for deliver due to us staying at a local winery, they were on time, and professional. Pizza was great after a long days driving on our cross country trip. We had a BBQ chicken pizza and a cheese/pinapple pizza. We also ordered mozzarella cheese sticks. All of which were hot and fresh. Mozzarella sticks were amazing highly recommend! Pizza was fantastic, would recommend as well! Great job team and keep up the great customer service! read more

Mama Mia's - Bbq chicken pizza, cheese and pinapple pizza with mozzarella sticks. - Pizza Near Me - Geneseo, New York

Good Pizza, fast delivery! Will order again. Thin pizza is very nice included lots of pepperoni.

Pizza is amazing! It's incredible! But NYC is the best!!!! Pizza pauls has the thick crust

All the tables were dirty and sticky. Service was slow On the bright side pizza was really good and each slice was huge read more

Decent local pizza place. The crust was a bit over done and somewhat oily, but surprisingly good. It's a good place if you want a quick slice, although the slices to go looked as if they had been sitting for a while, so we ordered an entire pizza - half pepperoni and cheese. The service was good and it only took about 15 minutes for the pizza to arrive. It's a sit down restaurant, but feels more like a college town late night pizza joint, which it is, so not sure what I was expecting? They also offered free Italian ice for kids, which was nice. My kids said the ice tasted meh. Oh well. read more

If you are looking for a huge pizza pie with the quintessential New York crust, this is your place! The food good and it is reasonably priced, plus the shop is open very late for those that get that late night craving... You can get your pizza here by the slice, or as a pie. This place is great for a college student on a budget. read more

Mama Mia's - Pizza Near Me - Geneseo, New York

Only moved here a year ago. Couldn't find any pizza around that I liked until my daughter introduced me to here. It's so delicious! I totally recommend! read more

Best pizza in Geneseo (in my opinion) and would be 4+ stars were it not for the following: 1. Every time I order delivery it takes TOO LONG!!! 2. Even worse, the pizza is usually cold by the time it gets there. And I live in town, close to them. Last time I ordered (just last week) I actually asked them if they have the insulated sleeves the chain pizza places use to keep the pizza warm during delivery, they DON'T. 3. The one time I went to them to pick it up (wanting for a hot pizza - imagine that) it still took forever. 4. I like extra sauce on my pizza and ask for it every time. They NEVER put any extra sauce. read more

FLIES EVERYWHERE! Waited over an hour for our food, then had to fight the flies for it. The chicken and bacon panini didn't have ANY chicken. The chicken fingers spent way too much time in the air fryer. Dirty plates and pizza pans piled up on top of the garbage can in the customer eating area. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

A TIMELESS GENESEO ESTABLISHMENT. Mama Mia's has been around for decades and will never close, even as the area becomes overrun with corporations and chain restaurants. The pizza here is a marriage of perfectly crisp/chewy crust, gooey cheese, and zesty pepperoni that is unlike any pizza in Geneseo. Sure, it's greasy. Deal with it. You can either blot it (like a bitch) or you can sop it up with parmesan cheese like I do. A little cheese and a lot of crushed pepper usually does the trick. When I'm home, I enjoy coming here after a night of dancing with 18-year olds at the IB or an impromptu class reunion at the Vital Spot. You can't beat $2.00 slices, especially when you're really drunk and really hungry. The wings here are also a solid choice. Get the catatonic sauce if you dare. I usually wash my meal down with a loganberry juice. Some crazy shit happens here when the bars close, so you might want to come here earlier in the day if you don't enjoy seeing drunk college kids puking all over the place and making rude comments. Take-out pizza from Mia's is never as good as in-house slices. Also, don't bother with the calzones, they're gross. Get a straight-up cheese or cheese and pepperoni slice and you'll be in heaven. read more

Great pizza but horrendous service rendered by rotation of college students who would rather be doing anything but wait on you!! Long waits always have worn me out here and was time to move on. read more

For a college town pizzeria you can't get much better. This is a staple in Geneseo- you haven't lived as a student in Geneseo until you've dined at "Mia's" on a Friday or Saturday night once the bars close. New York, thin crust style pizzas. The zeppolis are fantastic. read more

Usually don't order from this place. Have not in years. My son wanted to, so we ordered a large cheese pizza. Person on phone was very short with me... no big deal. Pizza tasted like cardboard. Not impressed. When I went to through away the box I noticed the tag on the box was not my name and ordered was taken 25 minutes before I ordered. I am assuming we got a reheated pizza that was for a no show from a half hour ago. That explains why the crust was cardboard. Very high prices for rude employees and reheated pizza. Will never go back. read more

This is where you go for pizza in Geneseo. There are other options, but this is the only correct choice. Mia's is an establishment. They are open til all hours of the night, they will have a line out the door of drunk college students at 2am, they know how to deal with drunk college students, and they have a bathroom they will let you use even if you don't buy anything--Mia's rules!! On top of being the place to go for drunk pizza, their pizza is actually really good. It's definitely NY thin crust pizza with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. Also good if you're actually going there for or ordering from there for dinner are their pasta dishes. And on top of being delicious, their food is reasonably priced. read more

4.8 ate it, as the other option i had was not acceptable, this was actually a pretty big disappointment for what i was hoping for. not as good as other ny pizza, i know, big state, but you wanted to know, so im letting you know too. it was busy for dinner time, so the locals must buy in, but i didnt. pricey too considering you can rent a house for approx the cost of 75 slices a month (do the math) read more

Well, the food tastes good. But it's not worth the wait. They tell me it's gonna take 35 minutes and it always takes like an hour. If you're going to eat there, don't do delivery read more

Driving home from Canada and craving a good pizza! Found this place on Yelp and gave it a try! Glad we did! Delicious pizza and salads :)

Honestly, this place rocks even when not intoxicated. During my lovely one day visit back to Geneseo, I stopped to have some Mia's pizza because it was like one of the only restaurants open on Sunday evening and this place was bustlin'! Which it very well should be. The pizza is just as good as I remembered it to be. The slices are huge and dripping oil. Still thin and super delicious. Honestly, probably the best pizza I've had in Western New York. read more

Good food! Great garlic knots and cute little restaurant! I was in town just visiting but would definitely rwturn dor aome morw food :)

Mama Mia's is handsdown the best pizza place in Geneseo. The slices are big, cheesy, and perfectly cooked. They also have a quick and excellent delivery service. Their cheese and pepperoni slices are delicious and somewhat reasonably priced (The prices have increased over the years but that is at no fault of the restaurant). During the afternoon you can get specialty slices, while being more expensive, are very good. The Bianco Pizza (white pizza) is DELICIOUS. They also have excellent wings and subs. The chicken parm subs are amazing. The garlic knots leave more to be desired. A garlic knot should be a dense roll drowned in garlic herbs and butter. These rolls are very light and dry with a little bit of parm cheese and garlic powder on them. Between 1am and 3am from thursday-saturday nights, the restaurant is PACKED with wasted college students coming from bars and parties. However, it can be a fun/exciting experience. Sometimes there are fights, and one time, "Bohemian Rhapsody" came on the radio and EVERYONE in the entire restaurant (and it was packed) started singing/screaming along. It was a lot of fun. The pasta dishes are also excellent. Check out their Canolis too - they're very good! When i go back to Geneseo to visit, it wouldn't be complete without a trip to Mia's! read more

Best, most versatile place to eat in Geneseo, in my opinion. I like the pizza here more than Pizza Paul's. Pasta is good too... depends on who makes it though because sometimes it's kind of watery. I like the garlic knots! Chill vibe, nice people who work there in general. I'm writing this because I know everyone thinks it even though they don't explicitly say it, but the guys are sometimes more "nomnom~" than the food itself. read more

Friendly neighborhood pizza place. Their pizza's pretty thin and their sauce is on the bland side but it's not bad. Their wings are pretty good. And they also make the spiciest wings in town. They have a few good combo deals and it's a great option when you're drunk and hungry. Service can be slow at times as it's usually kids running the place. read more

This is the only place I get my pizza from when I'm home from college for the summer! The staff is always so nice. I've never dealt with bad service from this establishment. I also love that they sell other food besides pizza. read more

Worst service I've ever experienced. After an hour wait the food was cold and disgusting. The waitress even told us she put in other orders ahead of ours. The manager refused to speak to us. Don't waste your time read more

Nice and friendly to start. Nice menu that is customizable to your tastes (pizzatenders words) went with the meatball parm, bread was outstanding (would love to experience a homemade meatball) overall it was good...Treated with a slice! Thanks! It was amazing! read more

The pizza is the closest you can get to real downstate New York pizza in Geneseo, but that's pretty much the only thing keeping it from getting one star. I've been here a few times and noticed that service is usually pretty slow, but in my opinion, waiting for more than 20 minutes for one slice of cheese pizza at NOON is just ridiculous. It doesn't even take 20 minutes to make a pizza! Anyway, the pizza is way too oily but otherwise okay, it is thin and the crust is crunchy, not soft. The garlic knots are dry, but they are big and fluffy. The baked ziti is nothing special, all I remember about it is that the noodles were very al dente. Despite this, it's still the best pizza place on Main Street... read more

Mia's has lots of different food such as subs, pizzas and desserts for anyone. I love their pizza the crust is a thin crust but the slices themselves are so big which makes it great. It is a great place to eat at or have delivered! If you want pizza on a Friday night or need food for football Sunday you should definitely try Mia's! read more

Mama Mia's - Pizza Near Me - Geneseo, New York

If you went to school here you refer to it at Mias and it is the end and sometimes the beginning of all good nites /mornings. It, like most things in G-town, is within walking distance of anywhere you'd want to be. Classic SUNY College town,, Classic post-bar rendezvous location. I want a piece of Mias now,, but I might have to have a Lumpy's Lemonade first..... or two,, anyone got a straw? read more

In town visiting relatives and came in for a late lunch based on the good reviews. Should have turned around and left when I saw that most of the tables were dirty and the counter girl did not acknowledge us when we came in, too busy doing chores. Placed order for a Calzone and was told over 30 minutes so changed to baked ziti and told it would be 15 minutes. As of right now it is 20 minutes and still do not have my salad much less the ziti or portabello wrap. Salad has showed up with an apology, fresh and nice though simple, I actually prefer it simple but do expect croutons at an Italian place... Food has arrive +- 30 minutes. Had asked if cheese came on the wrap and told no; you guessed, my vegan wife had cheese on her wrap. She was not going to wait so she just picked it off. Baked ziti was very good but could have been spicier while the wrap with spinach, artichokes tomatoes and more was a big hit with lots of flavor. I am raising the review to three stars from one because of the food, excellent. Do not come here for the environment or if you are in a hurry though the pre done pizza slices appeared to be popular, come here if you have time and food is the key... read more

Was in town for a couple days and my boyfriend found this place on yelp. We really lucked out, because the first night we had the Greek pizza which was really delicious. Dough: on point. Flatness: on point. Toppings and warmth: on point. The pizza was amazing, definitely one of the best pizza places I've been to, and as a huge fan of pizza, I've had my share. The second night my boyfriend decided to try their sandwiches, though I wanted their pizza. Their special at the time (some spicy chipotle chicken panini) was alright. Their meatball sub, on the other hand, was delicious. I don't think I've ever had a meatball sub that good. Service was also good. read more

This place is AMAZINGGGGGGG the flavor , unmatched , the prices , unmatched , the service PERFECT . No other pizza place will ever get my coins again. Mama mias for life they need to extend their chain into Rochester because I am tired of driving 30 minutes into geneseo just to grab a bite read more
