I've tried their cheese slice when I was out running errands. Why is this a big deal? because I'm very picky about my pizza. It was good- cooked well and mildly flavored. The space is clean, medium sized and the customer service is great. During my visit, after using the restroom, the staff noticed my hands were still a bit. I never tell anyone this but I avoid automated air dryers, and in minutes she asked me if I would like a some paper towels for that very reason! She revealed that she is the same and we shared a laugh together over poop spreading bathroom dryers. Thanks to her, I was able to appropriately dry my hands.I think I even tipped for my order and even though this isn't the best pizza ever, you will see they care about people and their food. Parking may be difficult but for the casual pizza eater, overall, I'd recommend!I read more

After a LONG day in DC, we decided to recover and order dinner in at our hotel. We found Mamma Lucia's and ordered via door dash. After an hour and a half wait, our order arrived hot and well-packed. Let me say - SO MUCH FOOD. About 3/4 of the food wasn't eaten because there was so much! We could have easily split one entree and feel bad so much went to waste (our hotel does not have mini-fridges in their rooms). For entrees, we ordered the bolognese and chicken Marsala. The Marsala was a hard no - there was almost zero sauce and flavor; we basically received two chicken breasts with a few mushrooms on top of unsauced spaghetti. The bolognese, however, was delicious! Very rich, served with fettuccini. Would have enjoyed more with Parmesan cheese on top. We received salads with each entree, and the dressings tested homemade and were delicious! A side of broccoli may have been the best broccoli I've ever had from a restaurant. Also included was grilled bread, but we passed on the bread due to the abundance of the rest of the food. Our order arrived without utinsils or napkins, which was disappointing (and challenging). We were able to beg utensils from our hotel, but I would reconsider ordering from them again due to that. Overall, a hit and miss order that came in at a higher than average (for us) price. read more

I searched their online menu for some garlic knots to go with my lunch but did not find anything. I gave them a call and a lovely gentleman answer and said they could have some ready for me in 15-20 min. They were sooooo good that I came back less than a week later for more! This time Ms. Donna answered the phone and she was so welcoming when I arrived to pick up my order. I've only had the garlic knots but they're enough to make me try many more things on the menu. read more

when I first walked in I was greeted by an amazing team. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel. I can't believe how delicious it was truly one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. I would definitely eat there again an lots of room inside the restaurant to eat. read more

Update: they told me they'd refund my order but they didn't. Person on the phone criticized me for not ordering through GrubHub. Terrible service, bad attitude and no follow through. read more

Donna was super sweet and kind to everyone who walked in the door. Amazing customer service from her and this is a beautiful little place to get pizza!! read more

Something has gone waaayyyy downhill here. I used to live in this neighborhood and this was my go-to for pizza and calzones. I moved away several months ago but was back in the neighborhood recently around lunch so I thought I would stop in. I ordered a calzone "well done" because I knew that when you are sitting waiting, they don't leave it in the oven long enough. Sure enough, in about 10-12 minutes I got a lovely golden brown calzone on the outside that was still cold in the middle with unmelted cheese. The lady working all over the place tried to tell me that was ricotta. Then I stuck my finger in the middle to prove it was cold. She took it to the kitchen and I heard her explain to the baker TWICE that it was still not melted in the middle. It is a shame because this place used to be such good quality but now it all seems so bland, undercooked and careless. They threw it back in the oven and gave it back in the same box with no tissue on the bottom but at least the cheese and the oil were oozing all over! Classy! read more

We had a take out order and our food was ready so quickly! The food was hot and tasty! My family had the pizza and an Italian sub which they all loved. I had the lasagna and it was one of the best lasagnas I've ever had! It was so big that I was able to save some for the next day. It was so delicious! read more

Ordered pizzas at 4pm to feed a group of kids before trick or treating. Ten minutes after the delivery was scheduled to arrive, I called and they lied to me about the order. They never started our pizzas and tried to cover for it by putting me on hold for ten minutes. Forty minutes after pizzas were scheduled and kids want to go trick-or-treating, they tried to say the pizzas were in the oven. Never ordering again. read more

Went for a take out. Got this sad slice of tasteless pizza. Not worth it. Avoid it by all means. read more

Excellent customer service! You get a great amount of food for what you pay. I absolutely loved the pizza crust, there was almost a sweetness to it. Only thing that could improve is that the bathroom was out of order. Will come again :) read more

A friend told me that I could order from this place through an app, but that I should call to ensure I got the BOGO offer. So I went to GrubHub and called the number provided there. It took 10 minutes to complete the order of 3 cheese pizzas for a later delivery. The store delivered the meal 35 minutes late, argued that we didn't qualify for the BOGO (because we didn't call, which we did!) and when the delivery guy finally arrived, he was so rude, lecturing us on how we didn't deserve the deal and we shouldn't be getting the 6 pizzas (who cares if he was late for an order made 3 (!!!) hours before the requested delivery time. Mamma Lucia, we love your pizza but not enough to withstand such despicable customer service. Work your issues out with GrubHub or internally, without compromising on the decency to treat your customers like you should. Maybe you'll make it up to us and we can try again. read more

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience at this location. Donna was absolutely amazing! As soon as we stepped in the door we were greet. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. I had the chicken Parmesan and my daughter had the chicken Alfredo and added shrimp. They also have a variety of pizza readily available to pop in the pizza oven. There's also outside seating available. We will definitely return again! read more

I had delivered the most disgusting Chicken Parmesan dinner. I was so hungry on Saturday evening, I could not wait for this to show up. A burnt chicken filet that had burnt melted cheese glued to it. Was so hard and tough I used a steak knife to cut it into pieces. I was expecting garlic bread to enjoy. Instead, I got two slices of burnt marble like bread, that was coated with a burnt black red pesto spread. A salad was also delivered. That was actually the only thing edible. Way over priced. My friend put it on their online delivery account. I then asked what was the total charge with tip, tax, fees, etc. $48 was a total waste. Never again! read more

Very nice staff. The pizza was mediocre, except when it was both undercooked and mediocre. But the staff were great.

Donna is so awesome. I've been to every mama Lucia in the DMV and this has to be my favorite simply because of her. hope this place sees more success read more

The cashier Donna makes that place 100% times better with her happy and friendly personality.

I love this place the pizza is so delicious and they pasta is also amazing you can order a pizza and come pick it up or get it delivered

There cheese pizza is New York style is very good and the only pizza my little son will eat. The pastas and salads are really good too. While the food can be a bit salty it's still good. read more

Lovely dinner delivered this evening to my door here in Adams Morgan. I ordered ravioli in cream sauce with a side of sauteed spinach. My food was delivered nicely packaged (warm food still warm), along with a small Cesar salad and a couple of slices of focaccia. I also ordered my favorite tira misu for dessert. Total came to $50 plus I gave the delivery guy a nice tip, as well. A bit pricey, perhaps, for just me, but there's plenty leftover for another meal. I'll be sure to order again. read more

This is some of the best pizza I've had in a long time and Donna makes the experience a pleasure. We have ordered a lot, with little kids who love the plain cheese, but my parents (80+-years old) came last weekend and we ordered white pizza and cheese and they loved it, too. It's New York style. Crispy crust with great balance of cheese and sauce. Even on superbowl Sunday, donna was patient and fun when we went in for pickup. Think I'll try the lasagne pizza tomorrow and have no doubt they'll do it well. Love this place. read more

I would say that this place is definitely decent but there are a lot of flies on the pizza which was kind of a turn off. But nice staff.

Pizza and delivery were both great! We ordered a 14 in combo pizza with bacon, pineapple, and green peppers. The pizza was hot and fresh when it was delivered. I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The service is amazing the people are so nice and make you feel at home very easily and the food absolutely delicious.

OK, these guys are back in my good graces. They have put the right people in charge (Donna!) and removed the incompetent folks. And it's really good pizza and salads. read more

I almost never review restaurants, because they usually perform as expected--I'm not picky. Mamma Lucia was an exception. The pizza there was many times worse than any pizza I have ever eaten. The crust was spongy and flavorless. The sauce was scant and flavorless. The cheese was scant and flavorless. The "toppings" consisted of different-colored pieces of briny vegetable matter fished out of a jar and dumped on top. The "Caesar salad" consisted of flavorless, powdery cubes of bread, romaine lettuce, and powdered "cheese," and the dressing was gloppy white, and flavorless. The single star is for--I don't know what--maybe the 4 anchovies tossed onto the salad, for which I paid extra. Sorry, regional business--you lost me forever and delivered such execrable food at such an inflated price that I am compelled to tell others about it. read more

You need to eat here! I would post a picture of the Carbonara except I ate the whole thing so fast! The food is incredible the main reason you should go is Donna! Seriously the sweetest person. She's so nice and friendly! I dined in and say so many repeat customers come and and chat with her! An amazing place, I'll be back for sure!:) read more

My husband, son and I came here after a movie. Had slices of pizza, chicken parm and side salads. Everything was amazing! Service was truly excellent. We ate outside and it started to rain. We quickly moved inside and the staff gave us some hot bread. The staff are all very efficient and exceptionally nice. Even with the rain it was a great experience. Our first visit and we will be back soon. read more

Very rude customer service when I called to find out why half of my uber order was missing. I will no longer be ordering from this restaurant chain. read more

I rely on this Italian chain. They serve up a New York pizza unlike other pie places in the city. Their wings, order them unbreaded, are fantastic. So glad that they are on Connecticut Avenue. I've been living in this town for 40 years and never tasted a better pizza. read more

The delivery service is horrendous. I kept giving them second chances but it never got better. Always late, always disorganized. The last time they apologized profusely and swore I wouldn't be charged. They charged my card anyway. I will never go there again or recommend them. read more

Legit ny style pizza. Glad they are in the neighborhood. Did 2 slices of plain/cheese pizza and it's def on par with other top notch ny pizza places in dc read more

I've been going to Mamma Lucia since I was a little kid and have been to most of the locations around here. This is by far the best pizza I have had from any location. It's also the most satisfying pizza I have ordered in dc. Always fresh, hot, and delicious. The manager, Donna and staff members are friendly and ensure top quality pizza! read more

I sat outside here for a quick dinner with my husband and two young daughters a couple weeks ago. The service could not have been better. The women who helped up went above and beyond and made sure we had everything we needed and paid special attention to making sure our toddler daughters were comfortable. A wonderful neighborhood spot. And the pizza's delicious! read more

Absolutely thoughtful service; the eggplant parmigiana is wonderful and the pizza is so fresh and chewy. Great space!

Love love love this place! And so needed in the neighborhood plus the manager is the best highly recommended the pastas too

When it comes to by-the-slice pizza in the DC area, few compete with Mamma Lucia's. But many know this already; the chain has become a staple of the region over the years. This particular location is especially wonderful. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. They greeted my brother and me warmly and did not ask any prying, personal questions so many restaurant employees seem given to asking these days. Would absolutely recommend this Mamma Lucia's to anyone in the area looking for a great slice without the hassle! read more

It is good in a pinch. The slices were very good. Sandwich was ok. Caesar salad was quite disappointing as it was drenched in dressing snd dressing wasn't even a Caesar. More like a ranch. I will say service was super friendly and I would go back for the pizza and the friendly staff read more
