Mammas Famous Pizza

I love this place.
Mostly for delivery, sometimes for a slice sitting in.
The best Chicken Wings I have ever had, and I had thousands.
The blue dip could be better, but the wings itself, big portion and so tasty!!!

Best pizza restaurant in the city! The managers all say it lamds on the incredible chefs.
Whatever the case may be, get yiur pizza here. Every combo I tried has been exceptional.

My husband and I live in the neighborhood and this is our favorite pizza place. Great cheese slice with perfect amount of sauce and crisp. We gauge our pizza reviews on the cheese slice. Staff is friendly too and we love the 2 cheese slices and a soda for $ 6. We order delivery too but when we do that we throw the slices in the oven at 450 for a few minutes to crisp them up. We go here almost every week. We also love the hot wings. We love Mamas!

Very rude service. I ask for two slices, and told the giy to add extra cheese on one. When I was paying I ask the guy where’s my free soda, he said I don’t get free soda since I added extra cheese on one of my pizzas, and that it had to be regular slice to get the free soda. I ask the guy if the extra cheese was free or something, and he said no. So why if I’m for extra cheese on one slice I don’t get a free soda? According to the manager it’s against policy rules. I’m like are you serious? You’re charging me for extra cheese, and because I added extra cheese I cant get the free soda which is advertised with two cheese slices on the wall. What a ripoff. They could of told me that from the start, and not rip me off like that. Never stepping in this place again.

When you walk in, it’s a tiny pizzeria with only 14 – 15 seats (?) if that. I live around the corner, so it helps when I just want to get a quick bite to eat — they seem to be open most hours of the night. I’m not sure about the mornings, since this place definitely isn’t 24 hours as stated on the business hours section. The pizza slices are very basic — you have your plain, pepperoni, chicken, vegetable, sicilian, etc. and then your hot foods such as heroes, lasagna, pasta and burgers.
Customer service could be much much better — the hispanic guy who is always behind the glass counter, as well as the guy with the curly reddish/​brown hair are quite nasty. If you pay by card, expect them to roll your eyes at you and give you a huge attitude. And this is even if you meet the minimum card requirements of the business. I highly recommend you stopping by when the owner is working — there are only a few staff members there at a given time, so he’s hard to miss. He’s the tall guy with salt and pepper hair. I notice that whenever he is around, the employees tend to be much nicer, food comes out quicker and the food tends to be piping hot.
The prices are a bit steep considering this is more of your no-​frills pizzeria. I’ve had much better pizza in the downtown area, upper east and of course Brooklyn. They do have nice specials for the upper west side — 2 cheese pizzas and a 16oz fountain soda for $ 5.99 and a meatball hero with a fountain soda for $ 8.75. But I’d be willing to pay more if we actually had a very decent pizzeria on the upper west side. My search continues.

The pizza was pretty good, the wings were pretty good, but I spent $ 54 on food ordering to small specialty pies and 20 wings and I received 17 wings. I’d consider ordering here again but I’d have to give detailed instructions apparently.

The pizza here is respectable but not quite at the level of real NYC pizza. Service is bad and the price is high. That said, the pizza is not genuinely bad – especially given options in the vicinity – but it is faux-​authentic (thin but hard and marinara-​tasting).

Middle of the road pizza… But it is still good. They have a lot of options for slices and it is all priced very fairly. They are open super late and have 2 slices and a drink deal for $ 6. Can’t beat it.

The problem with pizza reviews is the same problem with sex reviews. Not that I write reviews of sexual encounters — just that even when pizza is not great, it’s still pretty good for the simple fact that it’s motherfucking pizza.
This place is about as middle of the road as you can get in terms of size slice, crispiness, quality, and price. It does seem to be maybe a cornmeal base but frankly I couldn’t really tell and the pizza didn’t last very long before it hit my mouth and down.
Having a full deli menu (with breakfast, burgers, etc.) is a peculiar twist, although this too is not particularly one-​of-​a-​kind in a city with some 2000+ ‘za parlors. It’s also garage style — open air front (summer) and very compact in the back. I guess the joint has some novelty value for its shape and menu, and the owner/​mgr does seem to be a real New Yorker (grumpy and efficient), if you’re into that kind of thing.

The worst pizza ever. Burn pizza thin cross. Cheese sucks. The boss can’t speak to customer. Attitude. Do t waste your money guys.

Open convenient hours but place is not nice to sit in (every local crazy seems to hang out here) and pizza is barely average.
They do have a big menu but it might be better if they focused on getting the pizza to taste better rather than offering lots of other foods.

Good for a quick bite.

Ordered delivery pizza on a Sunday, thought it tasted a bit funny… later felt a little bit sick with a queasy stomach for about a day. Still had a slice left over next day and then I realised what the problem was… the cheese had gone bad. I contacted them about this and they did not follow up.
If you like bad pizza that makes you sick, Mammas is your choice.

Despite 1 negative review I had read, I ordered the eggplant parm. The meal arrived quickly and was delivered by a cheerful and courteous delivery person. I received a large New York style portion of food that was hot and delicious. Unlike the photograph by another reviewer, mine arrived with a generous amount of cheese on top. I would definitely order from Mamma’s again. It was a great value and a positive experience.

I always order pizza from here and have been very happy with not only the pizza, but with the speedy delivery time. I usually order through seamless, but tonight seamless screwed up my order and after an hour, I called the restaurant. Not only was the man on the phone extremely nice and apologetic for seamless’s mistake, but he took my order directly and my pizza literally arrived in TEN minutes (yeah, I know… Doesn’t seem physically possible, but it happened!) and was hot, despite the polar vortex temperature!

Great pizza and garlic knots plus great customer service. This spot is in the middle of 86^th and Broadway. It’s a small decent location with a lot of variety. You could breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have the usual pizza menu plus great american cuisine. I highly recommend the place If you’re around 86^th or attending the Amc theater that’s one block away.

Ordered take-​out and the food was less than desire able. The pizza was decent but other than that the rest of the food was horrible. Never get the eggplant parm. It was so hard to eat I could not even get a knife through to cut it. When I did all it was grease pouring out of it. We asked for condiments a couple times and didn’t get any. I don’t mind paying 30 a person when the food is worth it.

Personally I think the pizza is really good here. It’s the upper west side so it’s pricey but definitely a good place to grab a slice. They’re pretty fast, there’s sitting and the place has been clean every time I’ve come. Other than that it’s a typical pizza spot

I don’t know what I despise more… awful customer service or awful food.
Like, listen buddy at the counter… I’m not sure why you’re having such a rotten day but why don’t you fake it for just one moment and put a smile on that grill. I’m eating at your place, you’re going to make money off of me, pretend to be happy.
Anyway, I got a slice of the combination and was thoroughly looking forward to some good eats. I mean, how can NYC muck up a slice of pie? Uh, it was nasty.
The dough was soggy and half uncooked and the cheese wasn’t quite melted. And for this lactose intolerance chick, the only thing I can eat that’s dairy is pizza, so come on, and cook the damn thing.
Usually, I will kill at least 2 pieces of pizza without breathing. I literally ate like half of it and picked at the rest because my taste buds were not satisfied. I hate that! I hate wasting food!
Yeah, sorry Unilocalers, this is not a go-​to spot. Again, maybe like the dude, it was just an off-​day. But, I prefer a place that’s reliable, always.

I happen to love pizza… and I grew up in NY — so I am very critical about my pizzas… this pizza spot was acceptable… if you ask they will make sure to heat it up properly… otherwise the crust was a bit doughy.
Prices were reasonable for $ 4 for a slice and a Snapple… I would have preferred the to pay $ 2.50 really — you know — cause it’s pizza… but it is also NY midtown so… rent is higher.
Atmosphere was laid back… open area to sit… not really a lot of space… so first come first serve… but they don’t rush you… I took my time charging my phone and no one gave me ‘tude…plenty of people watching… I even had the treat of watching a New Yorker wearing a Heat jersey… mad that I didn’t have my camera ready for that photo-​op.
Anyway…there are other things on the menu… and they were well patronized so clearly they are well liked by the natives. I’m told that they are 24 hours… that’s a bonus right there.
Will I make the effort to hunt this place down the next time I’m in NY? Not really. l definitely had better pizza… but I should I be in that neighborhood again — I will try out some of the other things on their menu.
