Euro burger
Jackson H.

Best calzone and burger place I've ever been to. I stumbled upon this spot on a whim while heading to the local Wells Fargo. As I pulled in, I noticed the Mountain Dew umbrellas--a classic sign of a great hole-in-the-wall joint. We spoke with Nora (the owner), and she instantly felt like family--just like talking to my grandmother. Everything is made from scratch, and wow, it's fantastic. I started with two slices of pizza, which were great, but then I tried the calzone and the Euro burger... holy cow! If you're looking for a well-priced meal and want to support a local business with a rich history, this place is a must. Make sure to say hi to Nora at the front! (Get Philly calzone if it's your first time)

I love this cute family owned spot. The restaurant is small but the food is amazing. A day later and I'm still thinking about the pizza. I love a good thin crust. The service was great too. Keep in mind they don't take dine in 1hour before closing.

Mama Mia!

Very nice! Of course they serve a good pizza pie! Yes you can get a pizza pie anywhere but you will get authentic New York style pie here. I worth the drive and even the music will put you a New York State of mind. So i spreading the News that Primavera Pizza is the hidden gem of Italian cuisine. That's right I said it and am enjoying my little taste of Italy. God Bless all my fellow foodies.

Went to Mamma's for my wife's bday dinner because we know there food and service is outstanding. We…read morecalled ahead when we were 20 mins. away and they agreed to hold our table. We got there and were immediately sat. One server was taking care of the entire front of the house including bar tending. She was hustling and still provided great service. My wife ordered the Chicken Parm entree, i order Chicken Picatta over angel hair, Katy ordered Baked Ziti, Brody ordered a traditional Boli, and Karlea and Piper split a Chicken Basil Pesto Pizza. Our server unintentionally made an extra entree and asked us if we wanted it. It was ravioli Alfredo and we split it up between my daughters and wife. My son ordered a traditional boli which was large that came with a bowl of red sauce. Their red sauce is outstanding! Halfway through he asked for more red sauce and she delivered a new bowl quickly. Always a great meal with tremendous portion sizes with outstanding service. I highly recommend Mamma's! Cause you gonna like!

The pizza here is very, very delicious. One of the few…read moreplaces here where I can still get a nice thin crust pizza done right. The pizza and local convenience is the only reason we came here a few times. For the quality of the pizza, I still consider it a great value compared to other "social media trendy" but highly overpriced, overrated places. The environment can be nice, especially with the "night light" lamps they put on the table, music is not overwhelmingly loud or obnoxious. The white tablecloth is a nice touch. The chairs are decent. However, the wait can be very long, even if not busy. We've been here at least 4 times on various days and times (weekdays, late afternoons, early evenings, weekends, etc.) and we typically wait about 40+ minutes or so for the food to be ready. Even when there's only 2-3 other customers around, it takes about 25-30 minutes after ordering for the food to receive it. The last time we were here, it took more than 1 hour for the food to be ready. The service staff is extremely nice. However, there's still something "off" about this place and them. For example, the bar worker is expected to not only pour drinks at the bar, but also attend to non-bar restaurant guests. This is kind of weird. This place seems to give more attention and priority to bar customers and alcohol drinking "buddies" of the bar staff. The staff loves to sit and chat with their "friends" (regulars) while minimally and superficially attending to normal customers with a less sense of priority and urgency. I don't expect them to rush every single thing, but it was extremely obvious that the focus was to prioritize bar patrons over non-alcohol restaurant customers. Perhaps this is for profit reasons and if so, they should just be honest about it and separate bar staff from food waiters, like normal places do, or just simply be a bar place and not a pizza place. Also, the pizza making area is open and you can hear the workers every argument and discussion when it comes to wages, scheduling, next shift coverage, etc.. This is weird. At the price point of this pizza, I didn't think staff was being treated and paid so poorly. The vibe of the workers was just so "off", in general. The waitresses and waiters are very nice but often aloof and behave oddly. Like, is there something sketchy going on at this place? Are they on substances? Everyone is friendly but has no attention to detail, urgency or anything else. The last time we were here, it was very busy. But it took at least 1 hour to make 2 or 3 pizzas. The manager could tell we weren't happy. However, we didn't even know he was the manager as he didn't introduce himself properly but offered to comp our meal. This place gets 2 stars because of him and the delicious pizza . But if I ever come back, it'll just be order out by myself. The other person I came with absolutely hated the service and wait of this place and doesn't want to come back again.
