Mama Rosa pizza and dinners are the best! We like the Margarita pizza and the eggplant with ricotta cheese pizza. Some of the lunch specials are wonderful, such as the eggplant Stromboli. Thank you Mama Rosa. read more

Food is always great. Owners are wonderful people. Sincerely hope they're not leaving the area.

Fried calamari was tasteless. Sayce and lemons included around $14.00. Chicken ceaser wrap. The chicken seemed lab grown. Chewy and tough. Brown. Concerning. This place was highly recommended to try. Sorry. Not returning. On a positive note, the waitress was very sweet. read more

The worst tasting pizza in Barnegat. The dishes (meals) are ok but stay away from the bland pizza

The pizza was okay, they were great and definitely worked with my boyfriend and I as we are pains in the butt and wanted a half white, half margharita pie. The lady who answered the phone was nice, until she kinda just seemed annoyed by us ordering mozzarella sticks after the pizza. I'm not certain about the inside of the place, but definitely top 3 pizzas locally. read more

Actually it was take out and I felt like their most important customer there was a crowd picking up take out but the 3 young women working reception were knowledgeable and fast. And the Flounder Franchise was fabulous, the best I have ever had. read more

We order delivery a few times a week as it is very convenient! Hot subs good - meat balls, eggplant! Good capprezi salad and cold anti pastas! Fast delivery and reasonable prices! I haven't eaten inside, good pizza for Friday night! read more

Nice local pizzeria restaurant combo with tasty food, good friendly service and fair prices considering today's cost of living!

We are new to the area and from northern NJ where pizza is top notch. It's been tough to find a pizza place in the Manahawkin area that lives up to our standards...but now we found Mama Rosa and are able to finally enjoy pizza in our new area! This place is a pizza/restaurant where you can step in for a slice or you can sit in the dining room and order. So far we tried their chicken parm sub with vodka sauce which my husband said was the best he has had since we moved. We also ordered the tomato pie. They have two types: one with cheese below sauce (old fashioned) and the other is sauce with sprinkled parm cheese(traditional). These are my two favorite! I can't wait to go back and sit in the dining room for a nice meal...it's also a BYOB...my fav! read more

My main complaint about last night which was a holiday, and I knew I would wait a while for pizza delivery, was that I did have to wait two hours for a pie. After the hour intended from what I ordered from the slice app was up. I called the pizza parlor and the lady on the phone stated "it was on the road ". I then waited another forty minutes with no pizza and called back. The same lady on the phone stated " hold on". Another woman got on the phone and explained to me that slice driver had not arrive and it was their fault, she was very polite and stated that slice should get a hold of me shortly.. My main issue with this situation is that the first time I called they never even checked to see if my pie was there or had been delivered.She just stated it was on the road and did not explain the situation, which was just a straight up, lie to get me off the phone. read more

Just ordered chicken cacciatore from this location. Not so good the food smelled burnt yet the food wasn't. That includes the broccoli rabe how can that be. And, the chicken was cubes were hard. How can that be it's chicken cacciatore the basing of the chicken should make the chicken soft. Just not good. We had pizza here before and the pizza is great. However, this meal was not up to par. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! Awesome vodka sauce! Caesar salad is delicious (and huge.) Pizza is always cooked accordingly. Never tried delivery from them so I can't speak in that. However, if you're looking for a consistently good slice of pizza in the area, Mamma Rosa's is for you! read more

Our first hand dining experience: The young woman thats takes your phone order has a snippy attitude. Our order was pretty good , we had high hopes for a new dining spot. So We had a first hand experience attempting to dine in. Waitress - same snippy & nasty person who answers the phone . We sat at table we were not given menus at least a good 5 minutes or so seemed longer waiting, got up & asked for menus . The waitress said she be there soon with quite an attitude, while she was stuffing her face with some sort of dessert . Ok now we have the menus,we have never been in this place before so of course we had a few questions, she never came back , I went to look for her, still stuffing her face ignoring us, , after 10 minutes we left , never to return again .I waitressed for years , I loved it & I was a fantastic waitress. (my bosses words ). No matter what job you have you should it right & give your 100% or get a new job and definitely need to have a nice attitude to the people you are serving. This girl needs a new job and an attitude adjustment. I never worked for a Boss that would put up with this crap! Snippy-is putting it nicely ! We think she must be related to owner. That even makes it worse!! read more

Great pizza! Great Food! Great Service! Mamma Rosa's is the place to get some good Italian food. Mamma Rosa herself is wonderful as I had the pleasure of chatting with her. Usually order out but recently dined in and the atmosphere and service was wonderful. Will definitely be back! read more

8/10 times the food is amazing. Pizza, rice balls and fried calamari are excellent. Compared to the other 1000 pizzerias in the area they are at least in the top 5. read more

This was our go to place. Hoagies great until it wasn't. Ordered a hoagie - was good, saved half for the next day - the meat went bad - tossed the 1/2. Yesterday order was placed - cheese steak wrap $10.99. $1 more with fries. Gyro $9.99 with fries - by my math $21.98 plus tax. Family member ordered this - I was just paying and picking up. I added 2 Napoleans - it came to $36. I left a tip, I guess the Napoleans could be $7 each but I was told when I arrived the meals itself was $30. Got home - the wrap was awful and Gyro pretty bad - it only had as the sauce some kind of vinegar mix. No more Momma Rosa for us - we are done! The wrap and Gyro was tossed out. If you go to this place do not be in a hurry like me - calculate your purchase. Personally I will not pay for unedible food - the Napolean was good though. And yes - I called before I posted this to speak to a Manager and was told there was no manager in. read more

Bring back the sliced sausage!!! Loved coming here all the time for large pepperoni sausage pie but you downgraded to crumbled sausage before I even got to use my pizza coupon that I earned!! So sad! Our family will return when sliced sausage does! read more

Got some delivery that was fast! The pizza, pasta, and sandwiches were very good and HUGE! We have meals for two days. read more

This pizzeria has the thinnest crust in Manahawkin/ Barnegat and they had a round vodka pie out for slices. If that's not your fancy than take a walk. Buffalo chicken slice was outstanding using breaded chicken not grilled. Could have used more blue cheese over top. First time there and was so impressed. You won't be able to wait til you get home to eat this pizza so prepare to brush the crumbs off the trunk. read more

Very nice people Gave a lot of attention to us Delicious meals I had veal saltimbocca My wife chicken franchise delicious!! Highly recommend!! read more

I live right down the street so this is convenient but also the food last night was so, so delicious. We ordered delivery of a chicken parm sub and baked ziti bolognese. I wish I took a pic because that makes the review so much better but we were too hungry and dug right in. The food arrived quickly. The delivery person was very nice. The portions were huge and piping hot. I think it was one of the best ziti dishes I ever had for take out. The chicken was delicious as well. Highly recommend! read more

First time ordering from Mama Rosas. Ordered 1pizza very good, one veal parmigiana very good and one chicken ceased salad lots of chicken. Will definitely return. read more

Time after time they have done nothing but messed up order after order, my family has spent hundreds of dollars in this restaurant and it seems to never change it's the order with a side of attitude every time we call. Food is always cold things are always forgotten or messed up. Well tonight was the last straw for me. Ordered a turkey blt with no tomato. Got 1 maybe 2 pieces of bacon broken up into 4 pieces an insane amount of mayo turkey is disgusting. The bread is as hard as there bagels down the road if you didn't know they own that as well "dolce bagels" don't recommend there business either. Went to the hospital last year had to get 4 stitches from trying to cut open one there bagels. I really thought maybe things would change around after this place opened up but I was wrong. If you want real Italian or bagels go to Lacey or anywhere north of here. read more

Mamma Rosa - a sandwich with meat and lettuce - Pizza Near Me - Barnegat, New Jersey

Enjoyed a hot Sunday lunch at Mama's indoor dining. Tables were spaced enough that we were comfortable. Grandma pizza was excellent- sauce was slightly sweet, mozz super fresh, and crust was thin and perfectly crispy. My mom loved her shrimp scampi over angel hair- shrimp were huge and sauce tasty. Side salads were fresh, mostly iceberg but plenty of veggies (pickled cauliflower, olives, etc). Basket bread was hot and fresh. Service staff was friendly and good. Happy to have a good place for dine in or takeout across from my mom's new development! read more

Good food. Delivered by a third-party makes the price of the food sky high not worth it but nothing wrong with the food there stop charging for delivery to. read more

First off the lady taking my order not very nice. Second the food was terrible! Got chicken cutlet Parmesan and eggplant parm. The oil they used to fry tasted like it was very old!!! Won't be back!!! read more

8 of us ate there on Wednesday. Arrived at 6:30, only people there. Left after 8:30, maybe one or two takeout orders. The good... pricing is affordable, generous portions. Our waitress was very accommodating & pleasant. The fair, the Grandma's pie was tasty and hot but the sauce was kinda sweet for my taste. The bad... most of the 6 entrees were lukewarm at best. The pasta sides were hot, so maybe waiting on them. My veal pizzaiola was well made, veal was slightly overcooked. Everyone thought the food was OK, but with so many outstanding Italian restaurants we see no reason to rush back. Plus lack of business is concerning. For pizza, we think Joeys' on Rt 72 Barnegat is MUCH better. For Italian Biaggios in Lanoka Harbor way above, with similar pricing. read more

Best pizza in Manahawkin/Barnegat. Thin, crunchy crust with great tasting cheese!! My family is very picky with our pizza and we all have settled on Mama Rosas for pizza night! read more

They really need to either fix their online menu with the slice app or make a real working website that shows their ACTUAL menu. I went to order a pizza online and it brought me directly to the slice app. The menu items had no explanations of what ingredients or toppings were on their pizzas. Ultimately I had to call to ask what vegetables were on their vegetable pie. They spouted off a list of things and we ordered it. When I got home my husband opened the box and shrieked "there's no cheese on this pizza!". I honestly thought he was joking or you just could t see it under the plethora of veggies but nope definitely no cheese. I thought to myself maybe they forgot? But then again how does a pizza joint forget cheese? I ended up calling and asking if that was standard practice and ultimately they said yes unless you ASK for cheese. What the? The veggies were OK but the sauce was very bland. A very flavorless pizza even after piling on garlic and red pepper flakes. Their menu needs to specify that clearly what a waste of money. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Many different kinds of pizza tray. Just off the parkway Barnegat exit

The people working there are nice however the communication between them is terrible. Tonight the manager went too far and insulted me because he can't find decent workers (as he said it not me). Finally the conversation ended with him insulting me. 3 hours of waiting, no refund and food in the trash. I'm honestly in tears. I recommend this place to so many as I'm very big on supporting local business. Unfortunately, I'm out the cost of the food. Only thing I don't regret is the tip. It's not the drivers fault the owner is incorrigible. I give this place two years tops and they'll be closed. read more

Finally, a place near Ocean Acres with very good pizza! If you are a pizza lover, I highly recommend checking this place out.

I'm so happy to finally say that there is a pizza place by me that is CONSISTENT at making and delivering good food and services... so far I've tried a variety of menu items from there veal Parm subs , cheesesteaks,Stromboli's, baked dinners to there pizza and always it's turned out to be good or even better than expected but a little has to do with the fact that my heart has been broken so many times before from the other local pizzerias that just let you down and if you dare to complain about anything at all they could care less if your happy or not or if you ever come bck at all ‍ So yes momma rosas is definitely my new go to spot for the quick Italian craving that we have often at my house and the prices aren't bad either you don't mind paying for quality food and the delivery is always on time and food is hot right out the oven every time definitely 4 stars read more

Best Italian Food Ever! Over all the restaurants in the area I tell everyone how delish their food is.. The waitresses are very friendly & attentive.. they will make special dishes at your request... per the owners..not other restaurants will do this... on certain days of the week they're quite busy so for delivery it takes a little while to get there, but when the food gets there, it comes with a smile! & outstanding food!!! I recommend this restaurant for dine in, take out or delivery.. All the workers are dedicated to top notch customer service!! read more

Average food, less than average staff, pizza maker has the personality of a sloth, an angry sloth.. completely condescending to less than stellar staff.... No one has any urgency, no one has clear directions, all this with average food.... Significantly better options near by.... read more

Pizza is great sandwiches are great but chicken Cesar salad not so good basic pile of lettuce with chewy chicken and a few croutons on top and then drowned in Cesar salad dressing I'll go back but never order that salad again had to throw it out read more

Some of the best Italian food/pizza in the area. Most places it's either good Italian food and so so pizza. Or vice versa. And there's some steep competition here in NJ. But wow this place hits on all cylinders. Great food. Amazing "old fashioned" pies. I love the variety! A barnegat gem for sure read more

The absolute worst customer service period. The owner is the most unprofessional businessman and cares little about his customers. He had a problem with a double charge on our debit card, after 5 dsys of getting a runaround from the owner saying it wasn't his fault, we will never order from them again. CHECK YOUR BANK ACCOUNT after you order, they like to double charge!!! read more

Their Grandma pie is great. The regular pie is ok. We personally think they are a bit overpriced compared to other pizza places in the area. Many times at the counter I've had to wait a very long time just for a few slices and the front cashiers weren't very friendly. But we go here for the Grandma pie mainly...I recommend that. read more
