They have an up-charged 10 dollar delivery fee on their website. Tried Uber eats and while the delivery fee was normal, we then saw it ended up being more expensive because they up-charged the price of the pizzas! Not cool. The pizza is good though but that's just wrong. read more

I ordered a pizza. It was oily, the crust tasted terrible, and the toppings weren't well cooked. The worst part? It cost me $30. Its not worth it. read more

Look no further for superb service. These guys know how to serve and deliver great food and quality.

This is probably not the best place for anything other than pizza. Mother day special Momma's crab cake roasted potatoes and broccoli. First of all the potatoes were dry and no flavor. However the broccoli were delicious. The wine list is elaborate and I chose a glass of the seven oak, nice pairing with the flavorless crab cakes. The Mother's Day special came with a Cesar salad with a mound of dressing an Italian cheese of sorts. The service lack desire and I'm not sure if I will recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Mamma Lucia of Silver Spring - Italian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Food was terrible - their garlic bread was sliced bread you find in a store with garlic butter poured over it. Things never got better from there. Pizza looked better, but didnt have it. The pastas we had were sub par at best. Waiter also offered a sangria on the house if we buy one. They were both on the bill when the bill came. Was too annoyed by then to try to fix it. We just tipped below what we normally would have and walked out. read more

I am so happy we found Mamma Lucias! We have been so disappointed with all the other local DC area pizza... After growing up in NJ right outside of NY, it's been tough to find good pizza. Mamma Lucia is just about 100% classic NYC pizza. Well-done pies, not soggy at all, fresh ingredients, chewy delicious crust, cut all the way through, fast delivery, etc. The best part is the consistency. Time and time again, Mamma Lucia delivers the best pizza in the DC area... It should also be noted that their pasta (specifically, Pasta Brunello, our favorite) and hot wings are also fantastic. This place is great. If they ever close we will have to consider moving. Thank you! read more

The food is good. Maybe not up to the level of expensive Italian restaurants, but it's casual and not expensive. They give you a lot in the pasta dishes. You might not have room for the gelato or cannoli, though somehow I always seem to find room. :-) The service is always good. I haven't had a problem even when it's full. read more

I was looking for a quick bite to eat with some of my family members. We were excited for the pizza but when it arrived we were shocked at the appearance and taste of this abomination. The pizzas were relatively expernsive and I can say they were definitely not worth the price I paid. I would not recommend this pizza to anyone looking for actual decent, comestible food. It is a disappointment to Italy or wherever pizza was created. read more

Ordered delivery from this restaurant. First, the delivery took a long time, and the food was cold when it got here. Second, the food was mediocre. The garlic bread was bizarre and the pasta a little greasy. I don't know if this was due to things getting cold, but it just wasn't good. There are better options in this area. read more

My second favorite pizza in the Baltimore/Washington area. I always get carry out from here because it's fast and super convenient. The service is always friendly and helpful. I have dined in once here and found it to be really over priced as far as entrees and wine go. 9.00 for a glass of HOUSE RED?! That's absurd. So I stick to carry out. The mushroom pizza is to die for, and it goes great with their Greek salad. The location is great, so close to the Silver Spring metro and within walking distance to the "Downtown" Silver Spring mayhem. read more

Let's be real -- this is a solid but unexceptional Italian-American restaurant. I wouldn't make a night out of coming here...However, I LOVE the garlic knots. Being from the NYC suburbs, I missed them a great deal and have never seen them anywhere in DC except here. And they taste like the real deal. Definitely worth going, just for the garlic knots. read more

THIS REVIEW WAS FOR MAMMA LUCIA IN OLNEY! MARYLAND. I was visiting my daughter in SIlver Spring Md. We read the reviews on Mamma Lucia and decided this must be a great Italian restaurant. We were all looking forward to having a great meal. And maybe we expected too much. Let's start on the amazing bread. FIrst Garlic bread and then soft long rolls. Wonderful. WE took some of the rolls home for breakfast the next morning. I ordered Chicken Parmesan. It came with a salad. I ordered the Caesar's salad. And I was disappointed. NO taste. I tasted better. Very ordinary. Then arrived the chicken Parm with my Penne. Portion was large. This parm was just ok. I tasted much better in other Italian restaurants. My wife also was not excited about her chicken entree. Service was just Ok. Our server disappeared for a while. Prices just slightly higher than other Italian restaurants I gave it 4 star but it was more 3 and a half. IF you are not expected a great experience, you will find this restaurant acceptable. WE might go back. TRAVEL KAL read more

Service was outstanding. Very attentive wait staff. Food was good, We had the pizza, calamari, and ravioli rose. All good.

Love this food! Took two co-workers and they fell in love with it too!

Family and I just moved to the area two weeks ago and decided to try the local establishments out. We will never return for pasta here ever again. The restaurant is not as big as any nation wide chain, but at 6:00 on a Saturday there was no wait for a party of four or under. That's probably because the floor-to-ceiling windows will bake anyone unfortunate enough to be seated near them! It was uncomfortably hot and could easily be fixed with some sun screens or window coverings. The bread and dipping sauce was tasty and refilled quickly (as were the drinks), though I think I could make better at home. The salads were of good portion, with a tad too much dressing. Then came the true bummer: dinner. We ordered the oil and cheese (whoops, I mean the lasagna), the chicken parmesan, and the pasta norcina. The lasagna was the worst I have ever seen in my life. It is literally layers of pasta, oil, and cheese topped with some marina sauce. My sister took two bites and left it alone. The chicken parmesan was alright, large enough portion, but was not anything to write home about according to my brother-in-law. I liked the pasta norcina, but it was way overpriced at 14 when it was home-style quality. Gellato is always expensive anywhere you go and so we passed on the 2.50 for a small cup temptation. CVS and Giant is right next door if it sparks your interest. We did not try the pizza, but I'm not sure I want to come back after this. Save yourself the money and trouble and find a pasta recipe online somewhere. read more

I ordered a large pizza. Was told it was $12 and it would be 45 min. At 6:32. Delivery 7:55. The total $29. A large half pepperoni, half pineapple. Ridiculous. And it's mediocre pizza at best. Cardboard crust and cold. Won't ever order again. read more

The food was delicious (I had the pesto chicken ravioli and gelato). Unfortunately, afterwards the waitress told us there was a problem with the POS system and our credit cards couldn't go through. Like fools, we waited about an hour for the system to go back up before she asked us if we'd like to pay in cash. We were without our cards the whole time. When we said we didn't have enough cash on us, she was miraculously able to swipe our cards at a different register. The next day someone tried to buy $2000+ worth of jewelry online with my credit card. I wish I had stopped at the ATM on the way. I would've rated the food very highly (like a 4), but now the whole experience is marred by what seems to be a dishonest employee. read more

I can't deny that their pizza and gelato are so good.,although I think it is too pricey and their food it's not that good!! If you want to go to a nice Italian restaurant.,go to Christina's restorante!! Food it's delicious and prices are worth the food!! read more

Great pizza but the best gelato in silver spring.

One of my favorite places. Good service. Pizza, Garlic bread, and gelato is very good.

I tried a slice of pizza here and admittedly it was bbq so that's a hit or miss but this was a miss. It didn't taste so great even warmed up, basically cheese and drowning in a heavy bbq sauce. Maybe someone else would've enjoyed it but it wasn't for me. In all honestly I usually like margheritas and actually came looking for a slice of that. read more

My hubby and I went here a few times for their ny style pizza. It comes out oily, hot and delicious. They also give you bread and garlic butter/oil for dipping and it is delicious. We definately like this place and will continue to go here. The next time I go I want to try their pasta dishes but from the reviews they don't sound too good. I may have to stick with the pizza then. read more

Everyone says this place is soo great but even my cousin from NYC came to visit and we agreed it's alright. Nothing outta this world and me especially--- I am a white pizza freak and their version was very disappointing. It tasted good, if it was supposed to be REGULAR cheese, where are the CLUMPS of RICOTTA??? read more

Walked by this place while on vacation in the D.C. area. Not big into pasta, so ordered up a pepperoni & black olive calzone. They asked if I was willing to wait while one was made up and it didn't take long at all. A little on the small side, but dough was excellent. Being able to refill my own drink was a plus, too. Hate waiting for a refill in the middle of a meal. Waitress was friendly. Hi Mary! read more

Decent food, good deals if you come on nights where there are specials.dishes are hit or miss. sometime good, sometimes great, sometimes so so. good bread and salad. solid overall and convenient but not a destination. read more

Support a locally owned restaurant that has great food, good prices, friendly people, and even better pizza! The entrees are large and tasty and the employees are all cheerful, welcoming, and competent. The prices are a little high for the "atmosphere" but the food is good. Buy local and try Mama Lucia! read more

I've heard so much about this place, so I decided to give it a go. I'm use to authentic NY style pizza as I am from up north. This place was not the answer I paid damn near $8.00 for two lousy slices and they were lousy. If you want decent pizza go to flippin pizza or pete's new haven style pizza which are right up the street. read more

I am surprised with the low reviews. I've been living in the SS area for almost 2 years and, because of the number of patrons I saw in the restaurant, decided to give it a try. My boyfriend and I dined there a few weeks ago and LOVED the food! The reason I'm giving this a 4 star because all the desserts I wanted they were out of. Last night I picked up a calzone and a lasagne pizza. I'm assuming the calzone was good (that was my boyfriends) but I can say the pizza was AMAZING!! Best pizza I've ever had! And the service at Mamma's was FANTASTIC! They are very personable and friendly! That I would give 5 stars. Oh. They were out of the desserts I wanted too. :-( Maybe the third time will be the charm. read more

Best Pizza in DTSS hands down. Mamma Lucia is great for delivery, pick p on in the restaurant. It is very family friendly which helps when you need to go out with the kids. read more

Delicious! I haven't even tried their pizza (which made my mouth water with abandon while waiting for my salad), but their employees are feisty and fun and their Greek salad with chicken is awesome! It comes with three thick slices of their delicious buttered bread. read more

While many will complain that the pizza is a tad pricey, it is still the best slice you can get in Silver Spring. Beats Flippin' any day of the week, especially thanks to their dozen+ offerings of different slice toppings (compared to Flippin Pizza's 4 or 5) Quality is there, with rich sauce and the proper cheese. Havent tried their pasta dishes but I hear good things. The quick service and spacious seating area is also a major plus for a quick lunch read more

The gluten free pasta dishes are delish. I go to Mama Lucia's at least once a week. The food is well seasoned and well prepared. The portions are large enough for two people to split. Try the gluten free mostaccioli, and any salad with salmon or chicken. read more

Charged $19.61 for a 14" 2-topping meatless pizza. How does this place stay in business? You'll notice when you go in, apart from specials, there is no menu with clear pricing, which I believe is deliberate. If people knew how much money they had to drop for a medium pizza, they'd walk out. The pie itself was pretty good, and kudos on them for making each to order, but sorry- not $19.61 good. read more

First and foremost....I would certainly go here again without any hesistation. Quick and fast business lunch. Nothing fancy here, but flavors abound. Five of us all enjoyed our lunches, with everyone liking the pizza (as did I, and it is one of my top foods). The pizza was New York style, and almost perfect for that style. Had a nice pasta dish with sausage, and the pasta was not al dente, but the sausage was quite nice. Would recommend for a fast place to eat. read more

Monday pasta night, I ordered pasta alfredo with chicken after my daughter ordered seafood. Should be 5 dollars. The employee wrote down the wrong dish en I had to pay 21 dollar in stead of 5 dollar. Feels bad.... read more

Great place to grab a slice of pizza, but the order-at-the-counter style seems better suited for lunch than dinner.

My first but certainly not my last visit! Everything about this place makes me want to come back. From the garlic bread to the gelato to the customer service. I can't wait to return to try some more of their dishes. The calamari is good but could use more seasoning. The lamb and mashed potatoes are DIVINE! I just ate the rest for lunch today. Great portion sizes. True to the Italian food customs read more

The food at this establishment is delicious, plain and simple. I've tried a variety of their dishes and they've never disappointed me. This is a must go to place for great Italian food. read more

I'm Sicilian American and I approve of Mamma Lucia. No really, I come from a family of New Yorkers and as far as pizza with crust close to New York- we go to mamma Lucia. We went to the original in Rockville when I was a little kid and were siked when the silver spring location opened. I have a tomato allergy now too, so when I tell you their white pizza is actually good that's a hard find usually- but they put ricotta with it. My favorite dish is the chicken saltimbocca which is more Roman Italian but I was just in Rome a few weeks ago and I dare say this saltimbocca was better than one saltimbocca I got in Italy. I based my saltimbocca recipe on how close to Mamma Lucia's I can get. If you don't like tomato sauce for pasta, ask for garlic and olive oil instead - it's always solid and mixes well with the extra sauce from the saltimbocca. Thanks Bruno's son for being a sweetheart and continuing the Mamma Lucia recipe now that we're grown up too Update: prices were changed and now there is an exorbitant service fee so it is no longer an affordable option. For exl an order that was 64 went up to 78 with their service fee, and that's without having to tip. Life time customers but now my family has to make mamma Lucia a once in a while thing (maybe once a year) instead of often (twice a month). When prices are more reasonable or return to how they were, so will we as customers. read more

This food is absolutely bland and disgusting. It gave my entire family food poisoning and we're all vomiting in our rental house. Do not recommend. read more
