We really love this place the pizza is fire. I keep telling myself I'll try the pasta next time, but I always end up going back to the pizza. The service was great, and since we had our pups with us, we sat outside. It was still a really nice setup honestly, I prefer it. We'll definitely be back on our next trip. read more

We recently visited saucy mamas midweek and the food was good but our order came out wrong and then I kind of felt gypped on the garlic bread. But I'll start with what's good, pizza taste great. The vibe inside and out is great and service is good as well. Restaurant was clean and was appealing to all the senses. The bad we ordered a single topping 1/2 n 1/2 and when it came out they missed the 1/2 topping on one side. They took it back and just threw the missing topping and brought it back out. Obviously it didn't taste the same as if it was baked from the get go and was a little cold by the time they brought it back out. Now the garlic bread, just don't buy it. We ordered a two piece and I assumed it would be a half a French bread loaf. What came out was so disappointing that you could only laugh. I kid you not it looked like half a hot dog bun. Yup one side of a hot dog bun with garlic butter and a ketchup cup with sauce to dip it in. I do believe, I'd give them a second chance if I'm being honest but my first visit is the only mulligan they'll get. Next time I will not accept a pizza made incorrectly or order the garlic bread. read more

This is the second time I am reviewing Saucy Mama's and I have mixed reviews for different things. Hear me out. My significant other had called to place a pickup order. After going through the entire order, we asked if they did a military discount, of which the guy said, yes, but indicated we had to show an ID for it. We said we had it and would provide when we picked up. but guy said it had to be in person and they need to do payment via phone, and then the kid hung up on him. Upon calling back my boyfriend asked if he could speak with a manager, and the person said there was none there (6pm on a Saturday), and no owner or anything. Literally no one to speak with who manages the place. He asked the kid who he could speak with to help us, and asked for his name and he refused to give his name. So I decided I wanted to still try the pizza, I went to order in person and bring home. Met with Christian, who was very nice and helpful, who took my order to go, entering every detail right in front of me on the screen. Then I asked him who the owner and / or was because I wanted to speak with them about the call and he indicated there was none and no manager. I asked about Diane Murray - listed in an article I found online who was said to be the owner and he indicated it wasn't her. Said the don't have any manager or owners, that the article was fake, they have no website (true) and all they needed to run were Yelp. When discussing the phone call he indicated several times that they are one of very few places in BB that even allow takeout. And it's very difficult to hear with the noise of bar/restaurant, and they are super busy- so basically, with what I was hearing, I had no one to comment to regarding customer service. While waiting, I Decided to hit up the fudge shop we love next door to be able to utilize the 10% off with saucy mamas receipt. Happened to ask the woman there if she knew who owned saucy mamas - and she indicated was same owner as the fudge shop. She indicated: Tracy Gonzalez and Adolfo. Ok. Makes sense with one of the menu items being after Adolfo. It would be nice if either of you would see this and understand what goes on with your business. While the food was delicious, I am not sure how I could honestly recommend going here with these kids running the place. Went back to saucy mama's and picked up food. I will say- Christian, thank you very much. You were informative and put in order with details- adding the ranch! Just a shame we didn't get the chicken we paid for with the Caesar. For the food. Loved the pizza, great bubbly and perfect crisp crust, not too much sauce and my half - meatballs, garlic, tomatoes were great- mouth watering an tasty, just a little inconsistent with meatballs on some slices compared to others. Other half pepperoni, garlic and chicken. Their chicken is cooked perfectly and delish! Ordered a Caesar salad with chicken. Extra dressing and croutons on side. Croutons and dressing were fantastic. but they forgot the chicken. So $4 lost for that miss. Again, shame bc the chicken is good. Mozzarella sticks were thin and crispy. Did not want to call again to deal with no manager or owner. So, while I'd say the food is pretty good, the busy chaos of the restaurant makes it hard for good service, especially if you wish to order takeout. And pickup with a small area at end of bar for order/pickup. Busy is good, because food is good, but the rudeness of kids manning the phones was disappointing. Honesty by Christian was appreciated, but No accountability, no management structure or sense of order. Felt like a just young kids running a restaurant with no leader. I am disappointed to say we wouldn't go back. It's hard to post a review with good food and not recommend, but I truly feel customers deserve respect, a sense of responsibility and order from a restaurant to provide great value - and without that I would not recommend. Just felt like chaos. read more

Tried Saucy Mamas today and I was honestly impressed! The service was super quick, and the staff were really attentive without being overbearing. The food came out fast and was delicious, plus I loved that it wasn't piping hot to the point where you have to wait for the food to cool down. Definitely a great spot if you're craving good pizza. Not only that but the pizza was very cheesy (bonus points as a cheese lover). I'll be coming back !!! read more

Great pizza, awesome service, and TVs everywhere, what more do you need? The pizza is consistently delicious with quality ingredients, the staff is friendly and on point, and there's always a game on no matter where you sit. Perfect spot for catching a game, hanging with friends, and enjoying a solid slice (or three). . In my opinion, this is BigBear's Best pizza in town. read more

This place was good. My family has had a house in Big Bear for years and we have always wanted to try it, so we finally did. We ordered a large pizza and after tip it came out to just under $30. A bit expensive for what it is. Overall, not a bad pie. The crust was thin, nice and crispy underneath but not burnt and the toppings were good. The service was pretty standard for Big Bear, nothing over the top but they were nice. The restaurant was small can can't accommodate large parties (10 or more) and what wait list was long. I did not eat here but I was curious. I would come back, might want to try others before but this place good. read more

Best pizza I have had in a long time. First time here in big bear- I was told To try saucy mama from a friend. We were greeted as soon as we walked in by the host. The wait was about 7 mins. The place reminds me of the typical pizza place .. televisions around so you can watch the game , bar top, etc. We ordered wings and a pepperoni, sausage and basil pizza. Server was very attentive. He brought us our drinks fast and the rest of our order came out in no time. this pizza was the perfect amount of seasoning, cheese and grease!!! Very very delicious!!! 10/10 would recommend saucy mama to any of my friends visiting this area. read more

Great place for a quick dinner in Big Bear! We came in to place a to-go order around 4:00 and opted for one of the "build your own" options. We went for a medium pizza with pastrami, chicken, artichoke hearts and mushrooms. Waited around 15 minutes for our food and brought it back to our cabin. We ended up re-heating it on a pan later that day for dinner and it was surprisingly good! The pastrami and artichoke hearts were my favorite. The artichoke tasted really fresh, and the pastrami was a nice touch and very unique; I don't think I've had pastrami on pizza before. The crust was fluffy on the inside and not too hard. The medium was also a perfect size to share between 2 people. Super solid pizza option if you are in the area! read more

Came here on a packed Saturday afternoon and tried the Tracy's Choice pizza, chicken caesar salad, tater tots, and chicken strips. The tater tots and chicken strips came out pretty quickly. A little too much batter on the chicken for me, but it was also super crispy and the chicken was juicy - pretty good! The tots were also a bit over, but I did enjoy the crisp. The pizza and salad took a bit longer to come out - close to 20 more minutes. But it was busy, so I get it. Besides the weird cutting on the pizza, it was pretty good! I appreciated how it wasn't super hot - just hot enough that my kids could eat it after only a few minutes of waiting. It's pretty much a Hawaiian pizza - my kids approved. The salad was on the small side, but the lettuce was nice and crunchy. Very good amount of chicken. Next time I'll have to remember to get the dressing on the side. Friendly service too! read more

Great spot ! Super long line/wait. A party of 2 would've been 35-45 min wait. Host was friendly. He was helpful. My boyfriend and I ended up finding two seats at the bar top. No wait at all. Was super happy since I was very hungry. I order a beatbox and my boyfriend got 2 ultra. We got a small pizza +3 toppings. And bone in hot wings. All for about 50 something dollars. Everything was amazing. Our bartender Luis was amazing. He was very friendly and attentive. Thank you for a great first experience! Will be back definitely The vibes of the restaurant were super cool ! By the restroom they have two chalk boards. One plain and the other with a crossword puzzle. Love this spot ! You also get 10% off next door at the ice cream shop. read more

Is this place popular? Yes. Is this place crowded? Yes. Is this place any good? Yes, absolutely. On a random Monday night during what folks up here call the "shoulder season" the place was about half full. I wanted to order their baseline product of a pizza and was delightfully surprised that the pizza was really really good. Our pie had pepperoni jalapeños and extra cheese. I am self admitted cheese.a.holic and they provided. All of ingredients were of great quality. Overall, this place would be my goto recommendation for pizza in the village. read more

We all felt like a pizza and had not been to Saucy Mamas, so tonight was the night! Our pizza was delicious, really excellent flavors and crisp to the crust.

We enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back! read more

We ordered a large pizza with sausage, pepperoni, tomato, and basil and it did not disappoint. The pizza arrived hot, fresh, and loaded with generous toppings. The flavors were great, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the quality of the food. We waited to be seated then host came up asked how many then walked us to the table and threw the menus on it and walked away. After placing our order, we didn't see our server again until the food was brought out, and we didn't see him at all after that. We ended up asking another staff member for the check. While the food was great and the atmosphere was fine, the lack of attentiveness from the service team took away from the overall experience. Hopefully, this is just an off day, as the kitchen clearly knows what they're doing. read more

I don't know what happened since the last time I came but the pizza was mid. It was very greasy like literally a pool of grease was on top of our pizza. Maybe it was the day or who the cook was but it was not good at all. We had leftovers and didn't even take that home because of how unimpressed we were. The Shirley temple was one of the best I've had so that's a plus haha but other than that it was just way off this time read more

This place is awesome! The food is great and the staff is amazing. We came here today for lunch before heading home. Our party was large 8 people and the male hostess up front let me know it would be approximately 90 minute wait. He let me know to check back in 45 minutes for a status update. Love his communication especially after having HORRIBLE hostess service at De la nona the night before. Anyways I came back and he was great at working with me and had two options I could take two separate booths hopefully next to each other or wait a bit more for a large table outside in the heated patio. We waited for a patio and he seated us which was awesome. He did an amazing job upfront with all the customers and how busy the restaurant was. We ordered 2 large pizzas and 1 medium pizza. Our service outside was great and the Micheladas here are Amazing!! The food was so good I totally forgot to take pictures of it when it arrived. The only pics I got were our drinks while we waited. That means the food is delicious. Come and try this place asap! read more

Came here on a.L Friday and was instantly sat outside which was perfect! Server was alittle tired but nice, we did recommend we share one salad since they're pretty big. Pizza was goooooodddd ...like 90% good. Just felt like it was closer to ballpark pizza than I hoped. Older ingredients, too much dough and def not as much sauce as their name boast. I just get like it did not love up to the hype as much as I thought which is why it's 4/5 stars for me :/. Would come back still read more

Joined the waitlist at 3:12, was quoted 35 minutes. Was seated by 3:52. Host was attentive and hustling between bussing, checking in with guests, and maintaining a very busy waitlist. It was nice to get options to choose from, indoor or outdoor, booth or high Ambiance is fantastic, makes me feel nostalgic in here. Waiting in the front felt crowded and chaotic but was pretty spacious and peaceful once we sat. Ordered a small meatlovers, garlic bread, & one drink for under $40. Perfect meal for 2. Everything was very tasty and fresh. Each employee was pretty attentive with checking up on us, grabbing dishes out of the way, and being extremely helpful. Had a great time here! read more

First impressions were the space was well designed so no matter where you sit you don't feel squished in even with a large group. The service was kind and patient. A very sweet young lady with long dark hair took our order. She was very good with accuracy and everything came quickly. The food is great. We got pizza, salads and chicken wings, everything was well spiced, fresh and delicious. We sat outside in March and it was a lovely outdoor space. Highly recommend this very professional establishment. read more

FOOD// I wanted to love this but the pizza and wings did not hit. The buffalo wings were super acidic and too intense for me. For the pizza the ratios felt off. There was too much of everything and it didn't flow very well. The bacon was loaded on top instead of being bacon bits (I know who would think too much bacon was a problem). The jalapeños didn't feel cooked all the way and the pepperoni was a bit overwhelming, flavor wise -- it's the large flat rich kind. Lowkey the pizza tasted better the next day cold. The sauce was delicious! PARKING // in the busiest area of big bear but there's parking lots all around. SERVICE// weekends are extremely busy so be prepared to wait. I came on a Monday afternoon and there was no wait & the food came out really fast. VIBES // rock & roll vibes, beer on top, dope decorations of album covers all around. Dark taverny vibes read more
