"I want to start off by saying that my family and I are what I consider to be regulars. My parents order our family dinner from here almost weekly, spending between $45-55 on average. The pizza, salad, and appetizers usually are great. This Saturday, though, the family pizza we ordered from the Houghton location was doughy in the center and didn't seem fully cooked. No biggie, things happen. My wife and I took it back and asked that it be cooked a little longer. The employees were understanding, the green shirted supervisor not so much. I want to be clear, they did cook the pizza longer, as requested, for which I am grateful. We would continue to give this establishment our business if it ended there. The supervisor argued with us, repeatedly saying that this is how they cook pizza (usually it's not) that the pizza was not doughy (it was) and that it was cooked perfectly (it definitely wasn't). He continued to state this seven minutes later, giving us the recooked pizza back. He has a right to his opinion, just as I--the customer--have a right to mine. To argue with me and tell me that my opinion is wrong and his is right is unbecoming of a supervisor that is supposed to be dealing in customer service. We didn't ask for a refund (nor was one offered). We didn't request a new pizza (which also was not offered). What we did receive was a very poor customer experience. I am truly sorry that we will have to find another place for our weekend dinner, hopefully one that in the future doesn't leave as sour a taste in our mouths."

We ordered the mama pizza special and the spaghetti. Pizza had plenty toppings but seemed to thin and not enough sauce. Spaghetti sauce was not good also to watery for me. Definitely not coming back.

What happened here. Went for dinner and what a surprise. Pizza is not the same. Different pepperoni and the pizza was way to doughy. Not what I expect from Mamas. The calzone was burnt and tasteless. We wonder if the location at kolb and 22nd is the same way. Either way whatever you did you've ruined it for our family. $39 for a family pepperoni, I expect that mamas quality. It's not there anymore. What happened ???????

In a nut shell I would only suggest getting pizza, everything else is questionableAntipasto is ordinaryChicken Alfredo was a buttery disaster with the chicken completely crispy.Wings are mehThe dough on my calzone is good.Soda machine status is ambiguous. My soft drink was poured out of a 2 liter bottle even though the machine is there. If the machine is not working I suggest using soda cans. My drink was flat.Prices are below average. View menu

Staff tried to do things right. Our order was called ‘by name’ and another family at restaurant decided to pickup part of our order. Waited to see if another pizza was brought out. Later another pizza came out under a different name, asked the staff if that was part of our order? “No.” Later again I asked where the rest of our order was the staff said it was already put out. I reminded them I was at the pickup window earlier, they said “…people do that sometimes, here do you want this pizza?” After some checking the clerk said the two pizza were the same, just take this one. The pie was cold and the toppings were undercooked. Tried to talk to the ‘boss’ about the food, but was dismissed. Wil...

First time here. Wait staff hides in back took about 10 minutes before we found someone to take our order. Dining area had 3 "d "s dingy, dark, and dusty. Nobody 's cleaned in years. Food takes a long time to come out. We ordered a meatball sausage hero and 2 slices of Sicilian pizza. The hero was great. Bread was good, appropriately cooked. Sausage is kinda spicy, meatballs tasted awesome. Sauce was kinda chunky with lots of seasonings. Best parm hero i have had outside of ny. Then came the Sicilian pizza. It had a totally different sauce than the hero and it was not good. The tomato sauce on the Sicilian pizza had no seasoning. It was bland, watery, and flavorless. Its a shame cause they n...

I love the premise of this pizza parlor because inside it reminds me of an old-school pizza joint. I had been here a few years ago and remembered the pizza to be really good, so we stopped in. The first thing I noticed was they seemed a wee bit pricey compared to some other non-chain pizza places I frequent. We paid roughly 2.50 a piece for a drink that comes in a medium (they called it large) cup, with tons of ice and no refills so that set the tone right there. We ordered mozzarella sticks, a small order of hot wings and a large Mama's special. The hubs liked the wings and the mozzarella sticks were good. The pizza was interesting. So if you like thin crust... like REAL thin, you will love...

Well the pizzas great! The customer service needs work. I was picking up a pizza the other day, was told by a young lady, on the phone, that my order was ready and to call back when I arrived so she could bring it out to me?!? Wow what service I was thinking, they prefer doing that due to the pandemic, very smart. After I told her I was already in parking lot, she hesitated and said the order was not ready like she thought and said a few minutes, I described my car and I waited a few minutes. About 5 minutes later she comes up to my window and explains to me that my pizza was going to take 30 minutes now ... 30minutes, no really, she walked away, I was stunned, I could go to Safeway, buy Eve...
