Not skimpy on the toppings but I've noticed that they tend to make pizzas and lay them behind the counter waiting for the buffet line to clear before putting them out. That results in sometimes the crust being stale and cardboard-like. Also, the people that put the pizzas out aren't careful and sometimes their shirts drag along the pizzas and toppings. read more

Great value the pizza buffet, they will make whatever pizza you request. I really enjoyed their white sauce/no sauce cheese pizza. Buffet was well maintained. Inside it has old vibes but is very clean inside. No dust even where you might expect it. Their ranch dressing is good, I did not care for the tomato sauce at all. Unlikely to come back because that's pretty key for pizza but I had a good experience during my visit read more

Pizza buffet style atmosphere. Always busy for that 5:30 pm pizza buffet. Clean well maintained restaurant. Grab the kids and put them in the car, don't forget your wife. Buffet at 5:30 pm daily. Laugh, have fun and enjoy your favorite pizza, cheesy bread & warm fresh iced cinnamon rolls for desert. Pace yourself. It's good and worth the money. read more

Much better experience Tuesday evening, lady at front counter was very nice and very welcoming! Buffet is very good, they stay on top of putting out fresh items and also watchful for people who aren't as sanitary as they should be at a buffet. I always appreciate staff who take that seriously! Thanks for making our last experience a thing of the past! read more

Mama's Pizza - Hamburger pizza - Pizza Near Me - Plano, Texas

Came here once again with my gfs family, and can definitely say it's still my favorite buffet pizzeria. Worker are kind, and you're able to order whatever pizza you'd like. Crust is always crunchy and cinnamon rolls are just amazing. For the price, can't beat it. Love this place read more

I've been coming here for over a decade, even though it's not in my area. It's hard to describe--it's delicious pizza for sure. But it tastes like the hopes and dreams we millennials had as children. The effect is somehow doubled when experiencing the buffet inside, which looks like it hasn't had a remodel in 30 years. Yes, that is a positive for me as well. read more

We are from OKC and our pizza is pretty legit... This location was near the hotel we were staying and near the Walmart market store we shopped at .. so we gave it a try. Cool throwback decor!!! Greeted from a smiling staff member that explained all our questions. Including information on Togo slices!!! Wow this place is doing things right!!! (Took Togo back to hotel staff... They were very pleased) Mama's did a great job for dinner.. Got out cups and filled drinks Drinks were kept on full. Pizzas came out /hot/fresh and tasty!!! My beer was ice cold. I recommend the cheese sticks and cinnamon rolls for must haves. The salad bar was fresh and tasty.. has me wanting to return when in the area!! Decently fast prepping of the food and the rest of the staff was super friendly! I was very pleased with our visit! We will return when in the area! Thanks for taking care of dinner on this Sunday evening as we got in the area for a 3 night stay! Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma read more

I've had Mama's Pizza before and the buffet did not disappoint. We are always on the hunt for a pizza buffet, and ran into this one on TikTok. It was about a 40 minute drive from Dallas. The place itself is a little small, I would say the pizza bar could be bigger. When the pizza comes out everyone forms a line that wraps around the salad bar and the front booth (which is where we were sitting). The space is tight in that whole front area, including the drink station. But that's okay, the pizza was delicious and the cinammon rolls were the big star of the show! The lunch buffet is everyday, 11:00-2:00 and the dinner buffet starts up again at 5:30. We came a little early, and we were able to start with our salads. The pizza was set out right at 5:30. Great and fast service! All in all, great place, we'll definitely be back!! It was worth the drive. read more

Great service and friendly staff! Clean and buffet was well stocked. Perfect for a family gathering!

If this was solely for the pizza and food I'd give it a 4 stars but after a recent visit this is more accurate. Up to that point I'd only had it to go. We had the pizza buffet and the food is good you can also order whatever pizza you'd like and they'd make it and call it out when it's done. There's also a salad bar. The place could use some updating though apparently it's looked the same for years. The main issue was one person in our party sat down at one of the booths and the spring in it stabbed her in the leg. It was jutting out but not visible to the eye. We complained to the workers there and thought they might get the manager but they did not and they did not apologize or seem to take our concern into consideration. This was a safety thing... So there you go. Wish I could tell you which booth it is but either way be careful. read more

Save your money go to cici.. we got there at 130.. not knowing it closes at 2pm . Well let just say they were in a hurry to get us out and had to eat what ever pizza was left over . They made a a pepperoni, but it was like pulling teeth to make it.. read more

Mama's pizza is a institution in the Dallas Fort Worth area for their wonderful lunch buffet. Their pizza has an amazing garlic butter rimmed crust that is outstanding and loads of mozzarella on their pies!! read more

Friendly staff, cleaned well and the food was up to Mama's pizza standards as well, very good food! Ambiance can be rated as '80's Pizza Hut meets Mama's Pizza' read more

I've been here many many times for years. Recently it seems like there's been a subtle change with the pizza--the dough is maybe a little thinner, it cooks all the way through and the bottom is crispy. This is certainly a positive change in my book. The cheese and pepperoni are both great when they're fresh out of the oven. The white and spinach pizzas are good too. Like always, it's the salad bar that draws me in but it's nice to see their pizza game has improved. Everyone is always nice and they keep everything clean. So no complaints. read more

I have been going to mama's pizza since 1978 - pizza is second to none - one of my all time favorites Thanks to the PETA brothers for creating this awesome chain read more

Simply excellent pizza at a great price. Fast service, excellent attitudes and for me it's very close to home.

So, we used to head to the Mama's location, when we lived in Mansfield, it was always a great experience, so when we stumbled across a location here in Plano, we absolutely took a drive. The main difference is the Plano location offers their buffet at dinner as well as lunch, Okay, the summary version is this: 1. The dining room is bigger than it looks from outside. 2. The parking lot and the entryway are small (and a bit of a pit of bottlenecks) 3. The service area for the buffet is too tight and congested. 4. Their pizza is fresh, delicious, and real. You won't find a buffet of child-focused option with nothing for an adult palette. (I refrain from naming names). 5. The salad bar is fresh with plenty of options. 6. Their creamy Italian dressing!!!!! 'Nuff said. 7. Fist-sized cinnamon rolls go really fast when they come up so be prepared. The only item we did not like was their pasta sauce on the buffet. It was too thick and garlicky for our tastes. I do suspect it had been up there long enough to reduce and over- concentrate. They offer their buffet at lunch and dinner, so give it a try. They also do a pretty darn good take out business. Give the little guy a shot here! read more

Mama's Pizza - a plate of salad and a slice of pizza - Pizza Near Me - Plano, Texas

pathetic Plano location is run down and needs a deep cleaning. Salad bar was the only good thing. Pizza buffet had only a few varieties with soggy limp crusts. not worth the cost read more

I've been coming to this Mama's pizza location in Plano since it opened. I encountered the WORST Customer service from the manager with the purple hair. They messed up my order and she didn't even apologize and gave me major attitude acting as if I was going to make a scene and I purely came back inside from checking my order and seeing it was incorrect. I asked them to remake it asap and she got on her high horse thinking she was all that and was looking to start a brawl with me. Who does that?! I walked away. She needs to check herself and leave her bad attitude at the door before working! As long as she continues to be employed there I will NEVER return. I've lived in Plano 50 years and never encountered such crappy customer service from this staff at this location before until today. I also wanted to speak to her boss and was told I could only email that person so I did and the owner called me back was very apologetic and agreed there was no excuse for the manager's behavior. Come to find out the young man helping me was the manager's son. That was so unprofessional for her to get defensive when no altercation happened between us. She has a bad obvious chip on her shoulder. Very Bad and disappointing experience and service all around. The kid (her son) working the front was nicer than his mom the manager who thinks she's all that! Very immature unnecessary behavior! read more

Let me start by saying we usually love Mama's pizza. We order a pizza (exact same combo ) every week for pickup. I started ordering when I arrived a couple months ago because it would be lukewarm by the time I got home. I live 4 min away So today I ordered my usual. I asked the guy taking the order to please make sure my olives were on the side this time. Last time I didn't receive them. He said ok. When my order arrived, I asked for two Parmesan. He gave me one. I asked again and he gave me another. The entire interactions with him, he never smiled and basically seemed to be annoyed at everything I asked. When I gat to my car I checked my pizza. No olives on the side. The jalapeños that were supposed to be in half the pizza were a total of 6. Five of them on 2 slices. I returned to be totally ignored while he finished ringing up another customer. My pizza getting colder and colder. I told him about the olives and the jalapeños. He went to the kitchen then returned to wait on someone else. Never apologizing or even letting me know someone else would bring my olives. When she did she threw the olives on the counter and tried to leave fast. I called to her and told her I didn't get extra jalapeños. Can you guess what she did??! She opened my pizza to check and see if I was telling the truth about the jalapeños! She saw the pizza and returned and brought me more. Never apologizing either. By this time my pizza is not hot anymore. We all know what they say happens when you complain too much, so I wasn't about to When I arrived no one was at the counter, in line, etc. They were slow. 6 pm as usual. By the time I left it was starting to pick up but not as busy as in the past. Also a Monday. I have to say this was the worst customer service I've experienced anywhere. And I've been a weekly customer for months. The cashier has never been very personable. The woman has. I don't know what problem they were having today but I didn't deserve to be treated like that So delicious pizza or not - I do not recommend them anymore read more

Great pizza at an affordable price point. The buffet is by far the best way to go. I've gone here since i was a kid and the quality hasn't dropped at all. read more

Good was fine for a buffet, they have a small counter for the pizza, but it was coming out pretty quickly. Had fun playing Galaga for $.25.

Crave the pizza buffet. Not available Sundays. Nice salad bar, fun atmosphere. Arcade games and great vibe. Very clean inside!

I was highly disappointed in Mama's Pizza strictly due to the pizza options. They only offered four pizzas at a time, but you can put in a request. The salad bar was bigger than the pizza warmer! $10 for all-you-can-eat. It is slight more expensive than Cici's and slightly better as well. The floors were really dirty and sticky so be careful walking back and forth. Oh, don't forget to try the cinnamon rolls. They weren't bad. read more

Went to plano original location for dinner buffet. Only a few pizzas are served at a time but they kept on coming. Crust is surprisingly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. Cinnamon buns are just rightly sweetened. This location which have been here for so long seems to have stood the test of time. Can't beat the price and the good Pizzas. Also tried the Fort Worth location, but plano location quality is still better. read more

Love their pizza and Salad buffet. Salad is so fresh and great selection. No bagged lettuce like CCs. Pizza selection is small, but they rotate out quick. Love their sauce & pasta too!!! read more

Best pizza buffet. Cheese bread is amazing, fresh salad bar, and really great toppings and crust. The owners are also nice.

Not worth the price or the taste Papa John's is better, pizza hut or pizza in, sorry to say this, I'm sure others may have a different opinion, I want be coming back, they should have 50% off or feed the hungry read more

Imo, the best pizza buffet for the money, period! Great, fresh salad bar with real salad dressing, not the waterdown version you sometimes get at other places. Really like their creamy italian. Most of the pizza selection is great. They will make what you want if you ask for it. There is a new Pizza Inn with all day buffet near where i live and it was no comparison to Mama's, and it cost few dollars more. Gina the hostess is always super friendly and always remembers you. She will help in anyway if you need something. Entire staff is great! read more

Pizza is always undercooked. I call to try and help them and the manager just gets short and hangs up. Sad too. This is a high end area w $2mil houses and lots of potential customers but they don't care. Started out pretty good but now it just kinda sucks. Fratelli and Campisi is a lot better. 2 stars bc the ingredients are good just poorly prepared and undercooked by 5-10min. Sad for a $40 pizza. read more

What has happened??? Is this place under new ownership? The pizza was SO undercooked. The ranch would we have always loved tasted like bottled Kraft. So sad as this has been a great pizza since I was a kid! read more

Went for the pizza buffet with the kids. Salad bar was a little lacking but it had the basics. The pizza selection varies as they are constantly bringing out different pies and pastas. They were all good but not "fantastic". Since it was a buffet there wasn't service per se, but the staff kept the food stocked and the cashier was very nice. As far as pizza buffets go, the ambiance was on par with what you'd expect. Parking was a bit difficult at lunchtime but adequate. Overall I'd say it was good but not great. read more

One price for the buffet on their website and a higher price when you get there. Rude and condescending woman at register. They wouldn't honor the advertised price from their website, so as opposed to getting aggravated with their poor customer service and attitude I left. read more

First timers here on a Friday evening there was a great crowd .. the salad pizza absolutely delicious.. we did the buffet you could tell this place has been in business for a long time ... We now know why highly recommend! The cinnamon rolls amazing not too sweet have just the right flavor read more

This place is a throwback to the pizza places we would go to in our youth. Nice staff, great pizza, good time.

I've been ordering pizza from Mamma's since 1980 and currently drive 45 min round trip to pick my pizzas up. No more. Some may blame Covid, supply chain, inflation, labor shortages for the skimpy use of ingredients that made a Mamma's pizza stand out from all others but the problems are deeper. Slicing a 20" pizza in 2.5" slices is ridiculous. Was ice cold pizza by the time we got home. I gave Mamma's too much time I guess, picked it up early even. They told me the pizza had anchovies on the whole pizza...was only intended for half...there were none on the pizza. That's it. No reason ever to go to Mamma's. I hope they change back to what made them great. It was gross. They will go out of business if management doesn't step in at some point soon. read more

I've been coming to Mama's Pizza since I moved to Plano from San Diego in 2005. I usually go to Buffett and they have a salad bar(I really like the salad bar, they have a good one), different kind of pizza, cheese bread, tomato sauce, pasta and cinnamon rolls. They now have a lunch Buffett, I think from 11am to 2pm. I went there about 1pm and it wasn't too packed. They didn't have a veggie pizza out there, so I had cheese bread with tomato sauce and ranch dressing from the salad bar and they were delicious!!! It's just a great, friendly place to eat in my neighborhood and I like to support the local business. read more
