Mamma’s Pizza

Ordered last night for delivery. We got a large margarita pizza, a veal sandwich with cheese, mushrooms and onions and a large caesar salad.
Ordering process: we ordered online. It was easy and straight forward. I received a confirmation email with a recap of my order. Downfall, delivery time was estimated at 50 minutes on a Wednesday evening at 9pm. That’s a long time!
Delivery: it did take 50 minutes for the pizza to arrive. The delivery guy was friendly.
Pizza: it was pretty good. I really like their sauce with the real chunks of roma tomatoes and the little bit of sweetness. There could have been a little more cheese. I found myself taking quite a few bites with just sauce and no cheese. There was a lot of roasted garlic on it. I mean A LOT. Next time I would order it without. I like the New York style thin crust. The edges of the pizza weren’t crispy, but I actually really liked it, I don’t love crispy crust. I would definitely order their pizza again. It was very expensive ($ 23), but I love how different it is compared to the large pizza chains and the variety they offer.
Sandwich: amazing! It was huge and there was tons of sauce and cheese on it. It was a good sized piece of veal that was breaded. Not greasy at all. They definitely nailed a good veal sandwich that could easily rival California Sandwiches. Extremely decently priced. $ 6 for the sandwich plus the extra cheese, onions and mushrooms, so approx. $ 9.
Caesar Salad: nothing special to be honest. Just romaine lettuce, croutons, fake parmesan cheese and dressing. I wasn’t a huge fan of the dressing they use — not creamy enough. It was pretty basic, I wouldn’t order again.
Overall, I would definitely order from Mamm’s again. They have an extensive menu with lots of unique pizza combinations, lots of pasta options and quite a few sandwiches. There is something for everyone. Expect to spend more than usual on your pizza, but it’s worth it. Pasta and sandwiches are decently priced.

Good choice for pizza when you’re not feeling like a chain restaurant. The taste was more «authentic». The crust is on the thinner side and the sauce is fairly sweet, but the topping choices are excellent and they are generous with the toppings! We got a large pizza with pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, green peppers and pineapple, and a calzone with chicken, green peppers, onions and pineapple. Both were good and the calzone was HUGE! Easily two meals. It was more expensive than a chain like Pizza Pizza or Dominos but it was a good alternative. I wouldn’t get it all the time but I would order again! Delivery was on time too, and there were plenty of payment options.

I think this is the second or first time having Mama’s pizza. I got a medium pizza with ‘goat cheese’, tomatoes, chicken and pineapple. it definitely wasn’t goat cheese. but it still tasted good and I liked the garlic dipping sauce. it was ready pretty fast and cooked perfectly l. I would for sure order from this place again.

One of the worst pizzas for the price. They goofed up the order. Initially mentioned there was no meat and When I got home and called that I see pork they said they messed up. No apologies what so ever. I asked if they could deliver it and was told they are past the time. Went back again to get a New pizza minus the meat. Again no apologies. Quality of the pizza not so great for the price. Go do yourself a favor and order from martinos for 60% of the price. Never again ! Thank you !

Definitely a better take-​out pizza than a lot of other chains like Pizza Hut or Pizza Pizza. It’s nice New York thin crust pizza. The crust is crunchy on the outside, and chewy on the inside. The pepperoni and mushrooms were also quite good quality. The tomato sauce could have been a little sweeter, and I would have liked a little more cheese. Next time I’ll order extra cheese. My husband was not as keen on the pizza, but said the wings «were perfect.» We ordered medium with ranch. The chicken fell right off the bone, and was spicy but not too spicy.
In addition, the owner was very sociable and friendly to us. He seemed excited that it was our first time there. It’s not a great eat-​in place. It only has a few bar stools, so you’ll probably want to call ahead and just take it back home.

I love the meat lasagna and cannelloni here. Staff are friendly. They have two picnic tables outside and about 7 barstools inside, but no tables. I always take out. I’ve has lasagna from Ritorno and it wasn’t half as flavorful.
Tried the vegetarian lasagna this time and won’t order it again. They said it would be 20 min but it took 40, and it wasn’t hot in the middle. They gave me a free drink for making me wait, which was nice, but I’d like my food hot. I live close by and my other orders have always been very hot.
Might try the wings next time. The pictures on the website do not do this food justice.

I went to Mama’s Pizza prior to the management change, way back in 2008. Back then, I remember my pizza being way overcooked, expensive and extremely small. It also took over an hour and a half (sans delivery, might I add) to get the pizza out to us.
Under the new owner? Man oh man, what a world of difference!
The new owner is a delightful character. He immediately welcomed both myself and a friend of mine into the store, and offered us a few free slices of pizza to try after ordering. The walk in special was $ 9.95, which is about the average price for a pizza in the area. The place wasn’t really suited for sit in dining, but it’s a small location, so that was to be expected.
Our pepperoni pizza was, and I say this without a single shred of a lie, one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in my life. It beats the hell out of all but the most expensive pizzas in the area (Dominos, Pizza Hut, Giovannis, etc.) The crust was thin, chewy and seasoned with a bit of garlic and pepper, giving it a real Italian-​style taste. Everything on the pizza was fresh, and you could tell… right down to the pepperoni itself. The pizza was made with fresh mozzarella, which was melted right onto the pizza. It was filling, and extremely satisfying. It didn’t have that «synthetic» taste that you get with many other pizzas.
The only things hurting the rating is the fact that this isn’t a sit down restaurant. It should be! The pizza is THAT good!
I’ve found my new delivery joint in Oakville. It’s a shame that the old owner made such a mess of things, but it’s clear that they’ve worked hard to turn things around. I am very impressed and will be returning again for more pizza; I’m dying to try the pasta and wings!

GENERAL NOTES
This place was just bought by a new owner six months ago. I went in the for first time today and almost immediately the owner came out and started talking to me. Apparently the previous owner was a bit of a disaster and getting customers back has been a bit of challenge. The new owner (I can’t believe I didn’t get his name) is a great guy and seems to really pride himself on providing a superior product to some of the other pizza options in the area. They certainly aren’t the cheapest here, but some of the deals are not bad and the pizza is excellent.
MENU RECOMMENDATIONS
I like to try a basic pizza out first when sampling a new place so I went with a pepperoni mushroom. It was excellent. Thin crust, toppings right to the edge and homemade-​tasting sauce (I got a huge chunk of plum tomato on one slice). Also, the veal sandwich is very good for a quick, cheap snack. Thick but super tender meat on a well toasted bun.
That being said, it seems Mamma’s specialty is more in the gourmet pizzas and pastas. Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll go back so I can update this.
SERVICE NOTES
Reasonably quick service. The owner makes most of the food here (he claims to put in over 80 hours a week) and takes good care. Delivery available.
LOCATION NOTES
Slightly hidden in the Tim’s/Wendy’s plaza on the east side of Trafalgar, south of Dundas. Patio coming soon apparently. Bar stools for eating in.

They say never trust a skinny chef. No worries here.
