Reviews of Mama's Pizza

Erik Larson

When I first heard about Mama’s I honestly did not understand the hype. It’s just pizza, I thought. I was VERY wrong. This is the best BEST pizza in the state. Loved every bite of it. Also got the meatballs as well which were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend coming here!!

Jack Bordner

My first visit. Owner went out of his way to accommodate my small order on a very busy night. That speaks very highly to me of the sacrifice and dedication it takes to keep a popular family business successful.

Scott Besemann

Currently only doing takeout, guy rocking out pizza seems pretty cool. Pasta about on par from anywhere but the sauce is definitely more tasty then you typically find. Pizza loaded with cheese making it a bit salty. Also, the cheese seemed to galvanize the slices so you end up tearing cheese to add to pizza. Crust had a crispness to bottom while being chewy. Totally worth a try!

Bob Bailey

I was curious what all the hype was about. Now I know. This is some of the best pizza I have ever had. And the pasta is phenomenally good. Seriously impressed!

Awesome old school pizzeria style pizza. Flavorful sauce, stretched airy thin crust, hand pulled sausage and plenty of cheese. My go to pizza place...

Joseph Jurek

Great crust, sauce is well seasoned and very cheesy. Pasta is flavorful and hearty. Friendly staff and portions are large at a good price.

This was so good! We got meat filled ravioli, meatballs and pizza! The servers were so kind! They gave us a free loaf of bread from the kindness of their hearts! This Italian/American food is definitely top 3 of the pizza places in MN. The Christmas decor inside was just amazing! This place is definitely underrated in the pizza industry! We will be coming back and getting more. Ty to mama's!

Almost didn't go in, sign on the side door said no indoor seating. I'm glad I went anyhow. 2 of us had one of the best dishes you could ask for. Price good as well. And the bread man wow! My hats off to both chefs. Owner and operator and another in the main kitchen. I'm from here and my mother was mad I didn't bring home a dish. She's 97 and frequented this place since the beginning. So yes i will be back to get hers. "Bad Son"

Ryan O'Connell

Best pizza, hands down! The owners are so kind and go went out of their way to make our visit memorable. You cannot go wrong ordering meatballs, the meat filled raviolis and pepperoni pizza. This is a business's we will continue to support. Thank you Mama's pizza.

Lou

So delicious! The pizza is great, the spaghetti is great and gigantic, and the salad is fresh and delicious with the best tomatoes I’ve ever eaten. Completely impressed. Even the bread is fantastic!

Grant Lindberg

Amazing pizza! One of the top 5 pizza places in MN. Thank you for near religious experience.

Chong Xiong

We eat a lot of pizza in my family, but usually the cheaper places. When I feel like spending more or just eating some better pizza though, I go to Mamas. They are my favorite pizza place in the twin cities. Highly recommend the flavor explosion pizza!!! I literally have to stop myself from eating, or I’d eat the whole pizza.

Per Austreng

Ive not been a fan long enough to know Mama, but she clearly raised a great human being in her son Tony. He's doing everything right!!

Shannon Abrego

Love these Guys. Best pizza in town. Tony and his staff are the best have been coming here since my kids were young now I bring their kids. Best family style atmosphere around.

Diana Eide

This place was really good....had a large pepperoni and sausage pizza....they cut it the right way, in squares to start off....crust is crispy and there is lots of cheese....sauce is just the right amount of spicy...would definitely go again

A Fish

We have been going to Mamas for years, its always a trip as we live 90min away. Last night was our first time visiting since this pandemic started, and decided to try the take out only. We were not disappointed! Still the same amazing food and amazing service they are known for! Keep up the great work, such a fantastic restaurant!

Louis Romain

I have been going to Mama's for years and have never been disappointed. Tony makes the best Pizza in the state make the drive you won't be disappointed. Great customer service.

T S

Fabulous pizza! Best pizza I have ever had! Will be returning!

Alex B

Amazing food. Lots of love and care goes into everything here and you can really taste the difference. Not yet open for dine in. Can't wait when they open back up. As is, call ahead to order otherwise you will most likely be greeted by a line.

Chuck Rowan

Have been going to Mama's for over 30 years and they still serve my favorite pizza! I love the thin crispy crust, real mozzarella cheese, fantastic sauce and generous toppings. The dinners and sandwiches are also outstanding. Tying it all together are the friendly staff and just a warm feeling you are among family when dining at Mama's Pizza. A true St.Paul landmark...hop in your car and head over to Mama's!!!

Thelarryboblarry

Amazing customer service. Portion sizes were big enough for leftovers. The sauce is amazing and one of the best part.

Kenya Senter

OMG THEEE BEST pizza I've eaten in MN!! Lived in MN for over 25 years (recently relocated to another state) NEVER heard of Mama's. I'm in town visiting and found Mama's on a Google search. Let's just say it was my first time but it most definitely will NOT be my last. I thought Red's was the best ~ Mama's knocked them out of first place to second...sorry Red's, but Mama's knows what she's doing baby!! Need more stars because 5 isn't enough!!

Nick Ventrelli

These pizzas are the Bomb savoy who? What! Ya no !!!! Mamas is the go 2 parlor All there food is GREAT !!!.CHECK IT OUT YOU WON'T BE DISSIPOINTED

Mike Hernandez

Pretty damn good pizza and a fair price ! People are so nice ! I’ll come back here any day! Flavor explosion was fire 🔥

Mark Cramsie

Best pizza in St Paul hands down got to try it if you haven't tried mamas you haven't tasted Pizza

Gerald Robinson

When I was young and I'm talking 40 some years ago, We would go to Mama's every once and a while. It was my mom's favorite restaurant. I live down in Lakeville and I'm not in St. Paul as much as I used to be. But like today, I made that special trip because there is nowhere in the world I can open a box, and bite into a flood of memories. Some of the happiest memories of my life. I lost my mom when I was 15 years old and she was only a young 39 year old woman. So moments like today are always worth the drive. Thank you Tony and Mama's for keeping my memories safe for all these years.

Lexie Opp

Best pizza in St Paul! Crispy crust was perfectly cooked, and the sauce and toppings were delicious. I can't wait to go back and try their pasta!

Bryan Alaska

Tony your an absolute gem. The food is always outstanding and incredible service. If you ain't had Mama's Pizza or Pasta you are sleeping 😴😴

Travis Sigg

Fantastic pizza, fantastic pasta, and awesome bread. This is a great joint for anybody that wants quality and quantity!!

Daniel Sponsel

We survived our Holiday Inn, Downtown Saint Paul weekend on our Large Lasagna and large multi-topping pizza from, "The Best Pizza in Minnesota"! When I arrived to pick up our order, I spoke with who I took as the Husband and Wife owners of Mama's and another colleague. I shared with them that I was from North Carolina (up for a family gathering) and had read their review on line. Let me tell you - they didn't disappoint. That was best crust and fresh, flavorful toppings that I've ever had. Their lasagna squished through my teeth, filling both cheeks on every bite. That was My, "Mistic Pizza" moment. Thanks for the Tumbler too!

Dannelle Gay

I am sure the food is great, but we wouldn't know. We were excited to try it but their website didn't let us know that they were not open for dine in...so we drove 21 minutes to their location, only to find out it was take out only. We understand with the labor shortage, but maybe update your website to reflect the current policy? We went somewhere else...

Mean Old Mike

As always food was excellent. I ate my fill and had enough left for another meal. Glad they survived our recent turmoil Please support Mama's I hope to return for a long time.

reid rossell

The food was flavorful, fast, and the portions were enormous. we each got a "sandwich" but what came was a mountain of food that translated into several meals worth of take home leftovers. The meatball sandwich may have more spice than we were expecting but overall great value and a fun time. The free ice cream was a nice touch.

Shelly Strauss

Mostocoli with baked cheese and meatballs are amazing! Best red sauce hands down in the twin cities by far. Worth the drive. A St. Paul staple! Hard working Owner puts quality in everything he does.

Keith “KJ” Jackson

Great pizza! Take out only at this time. Support local businesses!!

Jeff K.

Excellent pizza as always! Thanks Tony and crew.

Cam M

Family and I have been coming here for generations, the food is phenomenal , and you get a lot for what you pay!! Great catering

Krissy ham

I went there for the first time yesterday to buy pizza for my daughter's birthday. The person in the store was super nice! The pizza size was amazing and the taste of the pizza was superb. I will definitely be eating here again! I would give this place 10 stars if I could🥰 …

Barb Deitz

Excellent food, good prices, lrg portions, friendly staff, liked everything I've tried, will keep going back

Csaba Andrasfi

Love this place! Best pizza place in the area. We used to come here pretty frequently prior to COVID and then it was much harder to make it out here (we preferred to dine in). Last time we visited we made the mistake of not checking to see if the dine in was open, but it was not open yet. I hope they open the dine-in option soon since it used to get pretty busy so I assume there are many others that would prefer dining in, especially when you have to drive a distance to get to it.

Patrick Moinichen

Had the lasagna with a meatball and it was so good! Smothered in cheese with a zesty red sauce... I'll be back!

Marisa Luckow

Love Tony and his pizzas! I live Appx 45 miles away, but will stop to bring one of mammas pizzas home! Mamas just posted to FB that they are no longer offering indoor dining, just take out.(09/2022) the end to that era😞 …

Guillermo Dorado

The food here is always out standing i being every one I know to eat here, only take out since covid but that does not affect the quality it's always great!!!

Rebecca Brown

The pizza is by far one of the yummiest I've had and I've had many!! Gooey cheese and the crust was perfect, tasted so good even as leftovers

Jackie Withrow

We love the Owner Tony his Mom started this Business over 30 yrs ago. I think they have the best pizza in the State he uses all home made products and when he makes a pizza he uses real mozzarella cheese, he grates himself and each pizza has about one pound of cheese on the top .He doesn't skimp on the toppings if you want great flavor and size and taste . Try Mama's

Kenn Peters

Always an outstanding meal. Tony really knows how to make a great pizza.

Dan Mahrt

Ordered a pizza for takeout on the way to my boy’s little league game. We had a little extra time, so ended up eating part of it before leaving. My first time, and won’t be my last. Good food and incredible staff.

Francis Mathew

Food was good and the portions were huge. Ended up eating only half. Our waitress was really friendly and gave us great recommendations.

Angelina Santiago

I'll start my rant by saying I love pizza. I love pizza so much, I've been to an adult pizza camp and when travel, I eat pizza in every state/country. My fav is mostly NY or Calif style. Hate deep dish. But my hate in pizza is a like for others. I love most pizza styles and toppings. With the above being said, I'll start with the good: The people working there were very nice and clearly working their bums off. I went out of my way based on the amazing reviews and I've been dying to try this place a long time. So I was excited to finally try them. Everything was cooked well, they didn't skimp on toppings and portions were generous. Price was decent too. The blah: Now the food was good, but feel overhyped. The meatball subs were not traditional subs. It came in a pasta bowl and drenched in so much sauce, we couldn't really see the meatballs. It looked like chicken at first glance under sauce, so thought we got pasta instead. No, it was a "meatball sub" the bread was underneath. Flat laying bread, meatballs, gallon of sauce & cheese(asked for cheese for extra charge). People I ordered these for are not picky eaters, but one wouldn't eat it all. Said it would be better to add pasta with little bread/all sauce. The other person said it was ok and ate it all. Our pizza was good. For ref, id say it's like Carbone's, but with more toppings. Again, the workers super nice. Had a mom and pop feel, which I love. But for me going 30 mins out of my way, each way wasn't worth it. Maybe I overhyped in my head based on reviews.

Coco Anderson

I love there food and the manager is awesome the staff are nice to very family oriented

Kei Klontz

Always try to eat here when we visit St. Paul. The best food ever.

Marines Rocco

Order and carry out now. Food is great!!! Along with the staff!!! Will certainly miss the Cozy Ambience of going there to dine in.

JEANNE YANTA

Pizza is great...we have one of the best waitresses we have ever had...she was amazing!!!

Rory Morse

Local staple for great pizza. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. If you haven't tried Mama's I'd highly recommend it. It's a different style of pizza than most others I've had, and I love it.

Keith Chenvert

Had the All you can eat spaghetti. I dug in. The 1st plate came. I had to throw in the towel when I was 2/3 through with that plate. BIG PORTIONS. GREAT TASTE. Next time gonna try the pizza😊 …

Sally Ripley

Cannot find any one to work. Back room voted. Use to be packed. Great pizza and food. Went mile down road to John's great pizza. Dale, Como.

Maria Fratto

The Twin Cities most delicious pizza! Every. Single. Time.

Jayson D

Love mamas.. been eating mamas since we were little kids and now my kids are enjoying it. Tony and his crew are the best.. maybe tony will open a 2nd location in Blaine ;)

Anthony Moss

Who cares about aesthetics when you have a delicious artery-buster? Sloppy presentation but when you're Mama's, you're not expecting bougie pizza. Taste is king.

Ralphyboy36 Brawler

Love Tony and the staff. Best pizza in the state!!!

Matthew Blaha

Delish! Went just before lunch rush came in, trust me plan ahead, fills up fast! I had the small samples with baked cheese, took half home with me.

Karen Markowitz

Why did I wait so long?! Pizza was delicious and loaded with toppings, but the Ravioli- OMG - I can never not get pasta here. I am very picky about red sauce and this one is the BEST I ever tried. Super NICE people working there too made it very nice to pick up. I WILL be back - soon.

David Tilsen

Food is from the heart and home. Ownership is family, and treats guests as such. Safest block in the neighborhood… This place is also a survivor, making it through a flood and not Two but three vehicles crashing into it. As a Rice St. landmark, Mama’s Pizza is here to stay. Whenever you go in, always say hi to Tony.

Norm Johnson-Korbuly

Absolutely wonderful,. Thank you to my friend Greg. He has been going there for years. And wanted to share this wonderful food with me. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed a fantastic meal. Get the hot Diego it can feed 3 people.

William Munny

I've only been here twice, but this place now ranks as my new #1 pizza joint! Prior to this was Red's Savoy & Black Sheep. This place is very busy for a reason, order ahead of time, especially on the weekends. It would behoove of Mama's if you guys started doing "Take n Bake;" it would free up oven space/cook time and also create more sales....Guaranteed!!! If you really want to get venturous, consider opening another restaurant in the Minneapolis/west suburbs area. Salud!

Stephen Ellis

My brother said we are getting meat lovers pizza. I was skeptical cause that style usually turns out mushy greasy. Tony @ mamas pizza has the pizza game down. That crust is killer!!!!!!! The ingredients are perfect. Hands down best pizza I’ve had.

John McDevitt

Best Pizza & Mostaccioli in the Twin Cities!!!

Seeking “The” Truth

My experience was disappointing. The anticipation that I had was based on a Italian restaurant that has been serving the community for a long time. My order was for a large veggie w/o green olives, a side of meatballs and a sausage link. The sauce was good, pizza was average at best, crust was burnt, meatballs large and rubbery, and the sausage anything but tender. Some day I’d like to go back and try again.

Elaine Stiltjes

This place is absolutely incredible. Amazing food and great service. Their pizza is to die for, but my favorite is the meatball sandwich covered in sauce and baked cheese. The prices here are super reasonable too! And as if I didn’t love this place before, their system during this pandemic is well thought out and efficient. It’s very clean, strategically set up, and the employees really have it together. Great job, can’t wait to visit again soon!

Dakota Cane

Amazing pizza, even more amazing group of people running the place. This will be a must stop every time I’m in the twin cities.

Juju Bz

Everyone is always super friendly and welcoming, the environment is so cozy, and the food comes in hefty portions and absolutely delicious! My family and I love it here and visited often. My littles are scouts and the owner didn't hesitate to support them when he heard they had cookies! I highly recommend, even during this pandemic they have a great system going.

Christian Abrahamson

I tried Mama’s Pizza for the first time tonight and it was delicious! I ordered the cheese bread and a pepperoni pizza. Pizza was cooked perfectly and had the perfect amount of cheese, sauce and pepperoni! Very kind staff! I will definitely be back!

Mikki Desque

A friend brought me here as a treat because it is her family's favorite. I can see why. We got the last table and it was standing room only for a while. The food was amazing! I don't normally care much for meatballs or sausage but they were both delicious. I am always a big eater and they were so generous with the portions that I had a full meal left for the next day. It reheated beautifully as well. Service was a bit slow but only because they were incredibly busy. Our waitress was working HARD! Might be a bad choice to dine in if you are in a hurry but just get the take out, in that case. The food won't let you down.

Lexi Holland

The staff was friendly and I can legitimately say that every ingredient on the special was delicious. The crust was slightly crunchy around the outside but not overdone and the sausage was delicious. We also had two 'extras': bread and a meatball with sauce. Combine them. Do it, seriously was outstanding. Have fun!

Liliya Ismagilova

This is a great place Dining room wall mural is amazing Food is very delicious I love this place!!!

Elizabeth Hernandez

Delicious, huge portions of food! Great Staff. The sausage on my pizza was fresh and of good quality. Some sausage pizzas are very salty ... maybe due to poor quality of meat ... who knows ... but if you want a good pizza or other food from Mama's, go there ... you won't be disappointed ... except for waiting for a table. But it's worth the wait.

Andrew Carlson

Outstanding food and service! I ordered 91 stuffed pasta shell meals each individually packaged and they had the food ready on time with each meal showing the care that the chef put into each meal. This is a restaurant that you MUST visit if you are in the city. They truly care about the work they do and food they produce shows that care. A blessing to the city of St. Paul!

Brenda Hardy

We ate the Special Pizza, which was delicious. It had mushrooms, sausage, pepperoni, and a few other toppings. The Large is enough for four people. I LOVE pizza and couldn't eat as much of this large pizza as I can other large pizzas - super filling! This was our first time trying the pizza, we've been here before and ordered lasagna and spaghetti. The sauce is amazing! To end the dinner, they give you a complimentary ice cream cone. I'm even giving five stars even though we didn't order the Special Pizza, we ordered the Flavor Explosion Pizza. We were so happy with the speed of service, the taste, and we understand that nobody is perfect. The waitresses are always quick to bring fountain drink refills. We will go back, order the Flavor Explosion, and enjoy every last bite just as much as we've enjoyed our other purchases. We're also looking forward to stopping by on a Monday or Tuesday for all you can eat spaghetti!

Todd Moore

I have been eating at Mama’s for years with my family. This is a family restaurant and one of my favorite places to eat. The staff is fantastic and the food is absolutely phenomenal. I have had almost every item on the Menu which makes it hard to choose what I am going to eat! Today I had a large Mostaccioli with baked cheese and Italian Sausage. It was so good I ate the entire plate which is not easy to do! The portions are very generous to say the least. Best Italian Food Ever Best Staff Ever 10/5.

Janice Rassett

Best pizza in town! Thin crust Kansas City Style. Love the veal parmesan also! Looking for a great antipasto salad? Look no further! Staff is always pleasant and efficient. Tony, the owner is a great guy.

Broderick Richardson

We had a party of 16. They do not take reservations. We called to let them know we were on our way and they were very accommodating getting us together. It is a small dining room and they went out of their way to make it happen for us. Pizza was good and the other dishes ordered by our group were also enjoyed. They use a ton of cheese on the pizza and other dishes. Way too much for my liking. They have 4 choices for beer. All domestic and in cans only. I would recommend Mamas Pizza for anyone wanting that home cooked meal in a friendly neighborhood establishment.

Sun Squeegee

OMG! The flavor explosion pizza is amazing!!! Absolutely ordering from these guys again!

Jason Carle

I read a bunch of reviews, they all mentioned the friendly and great staff, and the great food. Let me tell you, the reviews are all true. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. However, not a single review I read mentioned the FREAKIN MINI ICE CREAM CONE THEY GIVE YOU AFTER YOUR MEAL!!!!! And this ice cream, so soft and rich and smooth and tasty... so good. I will definitely be going back. The friendliest staff I have ever met at any restaurant. Such a great place! It's worth the trip.

Greg Vesey

Since the closing of my favorite pizza place I've been sceahing for years for a great pie..I found the best pizza pie I've ever eaten in my life, Thin crispy crust, unbelievable sauce , spicy sausage and meats were fantastic, and perfect amount of cheese!! And the service was outstanding!!! Great friendly servers , it was busy and they never seemed flustered. Top notch..I was a bar restaurant manager and in the business 27 years...this is a hidden gem..5 star food , in a neighborhood pizza joint..

Lowrance Scutts

A local Italian restaurant with excellent food. The pizzas looked good but we had an Italian sausage sandwich. Think it was called a Diego. If you are not super hungry split it. It was huge and we still took some home not very big but it is a home cooking food at its best. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely a hidden gem. We went there early so we didn’t have to wait. Not very big but I guess it’s always busy. Went there on the recommendation of our son.

Michael OConnor

Been going there for a long time! Food is always great. Tony thank you so much for being there

Nikki Gentilli

We are from Colorado. We came to have the best pizza and it was. The stuffed shells are amazing. Tony was so polite and helpful with everything. Ill be sure to tell everyone about this place if they come here. Hey tony thank u and go Broncos 😉 …

April Chiginsky

Mama's Pizza is my favorite restaurant. The food is spectacular, the sauce is out of this world. Amazing service. Prices are unbeatable for the portion sizes. I've been celebrating my birthday at Mama's for over 25 years now and going there every chance I can for pasta. AMAZING!

Andreas S

Best pizza in the Twin Cities. Great for pasta and diegos too. Nobody ever left this place hungry.

Mary Adams

Just had a great lunch coupled with a memory from my childhood! Growing up near Mama's Pizza made it a favorite place to go. We ordered pickup and had it brought to our work place today and the pizza was a slice of heaven. Thank you

Louisa L. Sauro

This is a super great neighborhood american-Italian food place. The food isn't spectacular but it's tasty and you get a lot of it! The staff is super down-to-earth and make you feel right at home. Prices are reasonable as well. We went on a Friday night and it was a 20 minute wait, but in my opinion it was worth it. They also have really great loaves of bread you can buy to take home.

Amy Jarrell

Always love the food here and the staff are super friendly. We got extra assistance from a young helper that night and she was adorable and focused. Service was incredibly slow. They explained that there was a big order going out so it took a while to get our food. That was fine, actually. It was waiting for our bill and ice cream that seemed to take much longer than usual and longer than it should have. There was hardly anyone in the dining room by then. What I find really strange is the parking lots and the street are often extremely full, but then there aren't that many people in the restaurant. But we can usually find just enough parking for us (1-2 spots depending if we're meeting my folks there). I'd love to see them "police" their parking to be sure actual patrons are using it, but the neighborhood relations are actually probably more important as these guys are a neighborhood institution and are incredibly supportive of the area.

Lamar Sanders

Saw this place on a list of best places for Pizza in MN. It was definitely as advertised. Because of the pandemic I wasn't able to dine in, but from the setup alone it looked like a friendly place to eat. The pizza it's self is the best pizza in MN. The staff was also friendly and courteous. I would absolutely recommend Mama's Pizza to everyone

Nicholas Meier

Great pizza, awesome staff! The owner Tony is the kinda guy who'd buy you a drink. If you haven't had Mamas then you're missing out.

Trader J

Very good pizza, plenty of cheese and toppings and the sauce is amazing.

Kati Herrgott

This place was highly recommended to me when I moved to the neighborhood. They've never disappointed in quality of food or customer service. I would encourage any one thinking about trying Mama's to place an order.

Jennifer Kruger

Awesome food and quick service if you order "kitchen" food. It's a small restaurant though. I went there during lunch and we were in and out in 30 minutes. If you order pizza that takes alot longer. Waitress was friendly, helpful and quick since we told her we needed to be done in 45 minutes. Definitely order the extra cheese when you get the pastas. Excellent food!

May Stamper

This was my first time to Mama's Pizza and what a gem! The atmosphere and staff were super friendly and the food was amazing! I had the stuffed shells and totally enjoyed the hot fresh bread! YUM! What a great way to end my birthday.

Teresa VdeN

Delicious. Every. Single. Time!! The portions are always enough for two meals and priced right. Mama's has been consistently tasty for years.

Tanya Leonard

Absolutely love this place. Tony the owner is amazing he is all about his employees and customers. Also the food here is so so good I don't think there is a single bad thing I could ever say about this place.

Hollis Massie

Very good pizza, nice portions, didn't oversell the Italian aspect but has a very nice aesthetic. The server and chefs were very nice, and let me mix a Sprite and a lemonade. They had TVs and I would have appreciated them playing soccer but I'm sure baseball was all that was on.

debra wermager

Mamma's was extremly busy Wed.5/21. We had to wait for a table but, well worth the wait. The meatballs are the best I have ever had. The prices are great and the portion size is huge. I love this place and so does my family.

John Robert

Really great, super friendly staff. Almost got 5 stars. To be fair it was close to closing time, the service at that point was still great but hurried. We'll shoot for 5 stars next time around.

Dan Minke

Tried Mama’s for the first time today. We got the meat combo pizza, a small cheese ravioli with baked cheese on top, 2 meatballs, and cheese bread. They are not shy with portions and ingredients! The pizza is some of the best pizza I’ve had, the meatballs are giant and taste fantastic! The red sauce was perfect and the cheese bread was great! All do respect to The Prez but this is my style and a 9.7 all day! To top it off I met some of the guys while I waited for the food. They were awesome! We bs’d the whole time! Big shout out to Ryan for the awesome can koozie and Tony for the amazing food! Well worth the money and I will definitely be back!

Britty Campbell

My family has been coming here longer than I've been alive. Tight seating, usually a full house, but they never cut any corners. Great food. Lots of attention. You're never left wanting. Heartily recommend.

BeeJ Rode

Had a great first time visit to Mama's, and can't wait to go back! Dave took wonderful care of us from start to finish, as we came in before the rush and it got very busy, but no problem for Dave. The small Antipasto Salad was more than enough for 2 of us to share. Pizza is hands down better than any I've had in a long time!!

Catherine Ellis

Best old world Italian food! MeaSmall ice cream cone finishes every meal. Best red sauce ever! My favorite dish is the stuffed shells but everything is tasty! The Owner,Tony, is incredible!! He is personable, generous with customers all while hard at work making pizzas! A portrait of his beautiful mama is displayed. Love the charming,friendly atmosphere and wonderful staff! Seat yourself place. Always busy but tables move . We’ve been regulars for 22 years! Always feels like going home!

John Heydt

Ordered the Deluxe pizza. Place was very busy. 45 minutes on to go order. Sauce wasn't straight out of can. They did doctor it up a bit, slightly on the sweet side. I thought it tasted pretty good. Mushrooms were canned. Good pizza places use fresh ones. Biggest problem was the crust. It was soggy and undercooked. I'm giving it 3 🌟 with the understanding that this was a fluke, otherwise it would be a 2. I found nothing special about this pizza as many of the posts suggest. It's as good as any other dime a dozen pizzerias in the area. I wouldn't go out of the way for it, but if you're nearby it's ok.

Kayla Schmidt

We love Mama's Pizza! Best lasagna I've ever had. Best Italian ever. Fun, friendly environment with the best wait staff. They always have a smile and a skip in their step. Also very affordable for the amount of food you get. I usually make one meal into three. Awesome place.

Dawn Meier

We just ate there again. It was very busy. Wow it was great. Very busy Tuesday night 5pm walk in sit down. We left at 6pm and there where alot of people waiting to get in.Bob had spaghetti with cheese and I had sampler small with cheese. We ordered take out to so I will get back to you after I bake the lasagna and bread. The little ice-cream cones after dinner was great. We had pizza the first time and it was great. That was last Friday 7:30 pm and walk in 1 place to sit. :) Great food and service. Everyone was happy and enjoying themselves. Definitely worth going back. :) God Bless

Bern going here my entire life. Anytime I'm back in the old neighborhood, I make sure to stop here and get food. Everything on the menu will send you to taste paradise. Your mouth will never be sorry you wrapped it around the pizza, entrees, apps, or well anything they make. It's been family owned for generations and the love is in the food. If you've never been, go. If you have been but didn't like it, please seek medical attention. There is something wrong with you somewhere.

Kev Moe

Tony and company continue to make Mom proud! While it is take out only now they still provide the same great quality and tastes like "Mama made it" when you serve it at home!

Tim Strauss

Wonderful Mostacholi with baked cheese. I always have it. Great pizza too.

irishfischer

Mama's has been s Saint Paul staple for as long as I can remember. Fantastic food on the entire menu and the portions are GIGANTIC! Super friendly staff and very intimate atmosphere. If you're interested the neighborhood you absolutely must stop in. You won't be disappointed.

Angela Spidahl

This place was absolutely amazing. They had great staff that was very communicative and was there whenever we needed a refill. We had delicious meals that filled us up and gave us left overs. At the end we even got some delicious complimentary ice cream cones. They were so cute!

Katie Nelson

Brought our 8 yr old daughter here for her birthday, they sang to her with a candle in her ice cream and she even received a special gift! They treated us like family, amazing visit. Will continue to come again and again. Thank you! And the food was fabulous!

Instinx (Kyle vang)

Great local pizza and Italian place.

R M.

The staff there is so friendly! They made sure nothing was missing and that the food was perfect which it was. We got the Italian fries and they were sooooo cheesy. The pizza was amazingggg and perfectly crispy. I will absolutely be back. And the little ice cream cone at the end was so yummy. What a great hidden gem this place was. One hundred percent recommended to anyone who wants good pizza good service and good Italian food. Oh and the portions were HUGE

Stephen Andert

Very Good, Tony is the best italian food resturatur in the city he has done so much to the resturant to bring the best out of his menu . The resturant is located in the north end of Saint Paul , on Rice and Front . He invites everyone in that wants to come . Nice family environment prices $$ , menu is a treat for anyone who likes pizza and italian . Pizza is crispy but soft enough to make the best of the best . Sasuage an meatballs are another food to try as well as cheese fries . Parking is in back and around the building . SOUTH SIde of buildind is a door for wheelchairs and the handicapped . T.v is on for the sports nut and Dont forget the sm ice cream cone after the meal , the wait staff are first place ! To say they are second to none would be a understatement , they are all over the top . Dont forget valentines day it heart shaped pizza and christmas is santa clause . So drop by and try it yourself ..

Kimberly Trumper

I've been going to Mama's since the 70s best little mom and pop Italian restaurant great antipasto salad with house dressing any pasta or dago order with extra cheese the meal is covered in mozzarella cheese pizzas are thin crust they offer wine and beer, and a complimentary vanilla cone for dessert. Mama's has never been a let down. Please enjoy.

Minnesota Folk

Wow! Best Italian food ever! Onion rings made a perfect starter! Homemade fresh bread is always great!! Huge portions and fare prices! Service was second to none!

Phil S

This place has magical healing powers. Doesn't matter what you order off the menu I betcha money you won't be disappointed 👌🍻 …

Kim Anderson

To be honest was expecting a OK pizza but was surprisingly awed by what we got. This pizza was extremely good. Cooked purfect. Price was nice. Service was outstanding. I would recommend you give it a try. You may be as surprised as much as I was. Now I am a frequent customer ( weekly) and hope they are planning to be around for a long time. Great job everyone at Mama's.

Messay Brown

Best Food ever. The employees and staff are all very kind. was the best. I loved the pizza. The Veggies pizza was amazing. I recommend whoever wants to enjoy some italian food come here to Mama's pizza because you will have the best experience.

Dobidoto WesterlyCranes

Arrived and a line was forming nearly out the door. While we waited for a table we were well fed. They served cookies, pizza, garlic cheese slices to us as we waited. We ordered a large lasagna. That came with a large meatball on top. Meatball was delicious. We also had a large pizza. Thin crisp crust, delicious sauce. Sauce was not sweet which is my preference. Lots of cheese, cooked to a fantastic brown color along the edges, cut in squares. We barely put a dent in the lasagna. We will be having that for lunch tomorrow. Pizza was exactly what I look for.

David Anderson

This is a St. Paul staple, it's been here forever and the owner is invested in the neighborhood while providing high quality pizzas and pasta at extremely reasonable prices. It can get busy during prime hours but it's completely with it. Take out is excellent but if you eat in the tiny soft serve ice cream cone they give you for free at the end of your meal is a pleasant extra for what was already a hearty affordable meal.

Pintech

The food is delicious and reasonably priced. I usually order a large sampler platter which is enough for 2 meals. The staff is friendly and service is great. The only downside is the place is a little small so if you come by at the lunch hour you may have to wait a little.

Joseph Tietema

Top 5 pizza joints in the twin cities! I havent had their Italian food, but their pizza keeps me coming back. Square cut, thin crust, big chunks of Italian sausage, a ton of cheese and homemade sauce. This place has a cult like following for a reason!

Ashley Weinkauf

I’ve driven from Bloomington to Mamas in a massive snowstorm for pizza... It’s worth it. By far my favorite pizza. Tony and all of his staff are utterly phenomenal. So welcoming, happy and overall genuinely appreciative of your patronage.

Ryan Kierczynski

Mama's is hands down my favorite pizza joint in the Twin Cities. Their pizza is great (I recommend the Flavor Explosion) and the staff are the best. When we first moved to the neighborhood they gave us a take-and-bake for free to welcome us and on several occasions when I've picked up a pizza around closing time they've given me an extra at no additional charge. My only complaint is the limited beer selection if you are dining in.

Teejay Parker

Came here with my fiance for the first time ever, first thing we noticed was the incredible, infectious smile of Matty at the front counter. He was amazingly upbeat and had a personality that just made us happy. We had to wait a bit to be seated, which just told us this place was going to be worth the wait. When we finally sat down, Dante immediately greeted us and took our drink order, she was fast, full of smiles, and just a joy to have as our server, even though the place was packed and she was super busy, she always made it a point to come over to see how we were doing.. and when she couldn't, someone else would! You will never feel unwelcome at Mama's! The food here was excellent. The "All you can eat" mostaccioli was fantastic, and I dare anyone to try to eat more than 1 plate of this! The meatballs are to die for, definitely add them to your pasta! I'm looking forward to coming back to this fabulous quaint but welcoming restaurant again very very soon! 10/10!!

Perry Abel

1st time there and will be going back again. Lots of menu items to try.

natalia rodriguez

This is such an awesome place! Not only is the place awesome but so is their staff. I spoke to the manager about a sort of pizza i wanted and he was so polite and he gave me excellent customer service! I recommend this place 100%. We definitely need more places like this one.

Rip Pie

We came here for a birthday party and had a large group. Even though there was a new person on staff our service was still great. Our orders were correct and the food was delicious! I would definitely recommend/go here again.

Atzel Vargas Garcia

The pizza was awesome , and I personally enjoyed their spaghetti a lot as well. Supporting a local business makes it even better in my opinion . Take out was an easy option in Covid times

steve burnes

I was running a fever and generally not feeling well. I had a craving for spaghetti, with sausage. I placed an order to go. It was the best spaghetti I had ever eaten. Fantastic. When I got there people were waiting to get a table, which I took to be a good sign. They now have a new customer

Steve Turnbull

I would eat here every day if I could. Delicious food. Large portions. Red sauce to write home about. When I eat here I get the distinct impression that they want me to have a good meal like my mother would. And with the way they care about their neighbors and neighborhood, this is a business I feel good supporting. Oh, and don't forget about the free vanilla cone at the end of the meal. What a place!

Drew Timm

I'm certain that this will never change.... it hasn't in the time that I've been alive and one can still feel it when they are there. It's that, 'I'm home' or 'I'm with family and friends' or 'they really do know me somehow' or a combination of them all, type of feeling! It doesn't matter how much my hometown of St.Paul has changed over the years, Mama's Pizza is still Mama's Pizza, a heartwarming, down to earth place that seriously makes the best pizza and pasta anywhere! If you don't believe it, just simply stop in there and you'll see. Maybe you'll have to wait for a table, but it's better to go to a place that's full than a place that's half empty because that in itself tells the story about a place. I remember back when I was in my teens and they had a steady flow of people going in and out and I had to see what the big deal was... and I simply ordered a pizza to go and I was hooked... didn't even make it home, that box was open before I got a block away. The next time I went in. Just a long haired kid in the late 80's and most places would give me that look or treat me in a way that made me uncomfortable, but not Mama's, oh no, they made me feel like I was their family and that's a feeling that really makes a person feel great! And even today, a disabled person that has trouble getting around and they make me feel at home without any of the looks that I get other places. The food, the staff, the atmosphere... it's all a part of what you need to experience! If they're busy like they usually are, just be patient because once it's your turn you'll be pleased that you waited and you'll understand what it is that makes Mama's Pizza so great! And tonight when we stopped in there just so happened to be a person there with his family because he wanted Mama's Pizza for his birthday dinner.... before he finished his visit, the entire place, customers and staff sang happy birthday to him! Initiated by our waiter and participated in by all that were present friends, family, and strangers all coming together like we were at our own home celebrating this man's birthday! That is and was truly priceless!!! You may or may not experience something like that when you're there, but I guarantee that you will be completely satisfied and pleased that you took the time to experience Mama's Pizza!

Bat Weasel

I love it! First time customer. The food is great. Very hospitable, and the food. I don't know what Olive Garden is serving, but it ain't food. Will come again.

Charles H Satak

Our food and service was Outstanding! Dante was our waitress. She was very personable and helpful. I have had a craving for their Hot Diego for months. My wife and I satisfied it tonight That special Hot Diego was fantastic, almost more than I could eat. Tammi had to bring some home. Highly recommend Mama's Pizza Restuant for the best dining around. I'll be back!

Kerri Patton

This place deserves 10 stars. We were visiting Como Park & Zoo and found Mama's on Trip Advisor, and are so happy we stopped! The pizza is phenomenal, and the service cannot be beat. Our 4-year old and 6-year old daughters ate their entire kids' pizzas (usually they don't), and my husband and I wished for extra stomachs, because the food is that delicious. The little ice cream cones everyone gets at the end are the icing on the top! We will be sure to come again when we are back in the area. Thanks for a wonderful experience all around!!

Thomas Thompson

This is a place my wife would hang out at when she was in High School (St Bernard's) and hadn't been back since. She wanted to see if her memories were correct in how good it was. We both thought it was great pizza.

Jennifer Swanson

The best pizza I've ever had. Perfect amount of all toppings n thicknest of crust. When ever I get back to my home town I always make sure I come and eat. When I was in high school us girls would walk past n look in window in hopes to see Tony. He still looks as handsome as he did back then.

Jay Blazeman

Food and service were amazing. Ordered mostaccioli on the all you can eat Monday Night Special. You’re only eating half of one at best LoL!! Pro tip- go all out and get the cheesy version. So delicious!! Also, the pizza here is legendary!!

Kyle Silvers

Absolutely fantastic. Amazing pizza, great customer service, probably the best casual pizza/Italian experience in the Twin Cities. I love how they pull it out of that oven and the guy cut it up right in front of me right next to the cash register, looked me in the eyes and gave a sincere "thank you". You just don't get that anymore. Check it out!

Megan Rolie

We wanted something good but also something cheap. Their food was absolutely delicious, cute setting, and the waitress was the sweetest! You also get a cute little ice cream cone at the end of your meal. Hands down the best place I’ve ever eaten!!

It's a Me

We got 5 pizza's from mama's before the lunch rush and it was already packed in there at 11! I believe my colleague called the order in the night before. The pizzas were great, just remember that they do the square cut by default. We didn't know that at the time and it was a definite bummer to see.

stacy schonauer

It's always nice to get away from the big chain restaurants that don't really focus on the most important part of dining...the taste of the food! Mama's hasn't forgotten that! The pizza is excellent and the hosts are very gracious and friendly! Well done, Mama!

Mel Shreve

Good pizza. Reminds me of what Savoy's used to be Years ago before they franchised out. So if you liked what Savoy's used to be, go by Mama's. The fresh bread is delish, and the homemade ice cream in a cone they give you at the end of the meal... is creamy, cold and oh so good. And their french fries of all things - a must try. I think it is a double fry. They have a crisp on the outside and are perfectly soft on the inside. Our kids really liked it, especially the cheese ravioli.

Mary Bryson

The best place to have pizza and pasta. This is the only restaurant I have celebrated my birthday at that the owners give you an ice cream cone, gift certificate and candy for free. The food and service were exceptional. We had a party of 10 and our waitress was awesome.💖 …

Andrew Sletten

I had my first Mama's Pizza tonight. Great service. Need to try again abut right now I'm thinking this is the best pizza in the Twin Cities!

Britt T

This place is definitely worth a try! Decided to try it out for myself based on other reviews and am glad I did! Their large pizza put other companies large pizzas to shame. .it was massive! I recommend the Flavor Explosion pizza which has a slight kick because of the banana peppers they use :) All around I will definitely go back!

Joe S

Excellent Ma and Pa Northend Staple. Huge portions, If you like cheese get the baked cheese on any pasta and you literally get a pizzas worth of mozzarella melted on your pasta. You will have leftovers. Great Minnesota thin crust pizza. Great meatballs.

Brian Cook

Amazing pizza and even more amazing people! Would highly recommend!

Brian Donovan

Really good pizza and sandwiches with huge portions and ridiculously cheap prices. Comfy restaurant area though just a little cramped and noisy. Great service from wait staff who were obvious vets of the serving game. Will both return and recommend this place to my friends.

April Tanner

Our first time. Walked in place was busy. Promptly and politely greeted. When we told them it was our first time, they said "oh yea, well let's get you a free appetizer!" And they made it right in front of us while we waited for a table. Super friendly, polite, warm people. Food was amazing! Definitely be back!

Cassie “mixtapegoober” McEwen

I feel crushed that I didn't try this place sooner when we moved here. I was missing out. Pies are piled high with the best ingredients I have ever had. I suspect they use real butter on their cheese bread and I am never going back.

Quay Catalpa

Everything about this place is amazing! The food is great, the service is incredible 100% of the time, AND free ice cream cone at the end. Super affordable. Real family love for their patrons. And there's often a dancing buss boy in the back so that's not half bad either.

Andrew B

Amazing food and service. First time going in there and was nothing but impressed with the quality of the food and ingredients. The food was fresh. The bread was amazing. Even to top it off they bring you ice-cream at the end. Definitely recommended! Looks like I found a new gem in Saint Paul for pasta, pizza, and great service. I will be back.

Mike Lindquist

I have been eating here for 40 years and have never had anything but a great time. The staff is very warm and friendly, service is very fast, the portions are large, the food is delicious, prices are reasonable and they even give you a tiny ice cream cone for free after your meal. The place is a one of a kind.

Jordan Ferrara

It’s gonna be a long one. First, food is amazing. No arguing that. Service is impeccable. My grandma was the first to go here, started bringing my dad when he was two, and eventually shared the secret of this wonderful place with me. Tony the owner is so personable. I can’t think of a time my family visited, and he didn’t sit and chat with us. Tony and the staff take pride in knowing their patrons. Tony did something so kind for me and my family, I will never forget it. My grandma knew the family for a very very long time. We held her after funeral service at Mama’s. Tony gave her husband a custom made Mamas pizza/MN Vikings sweatshirt. He said my grandma paid for it with all of the pizzas she ordered. Fast forward about six months, it’s now winter. My grandpa and I went to Mamas, him proudly wearing the hoodie given to him on a tough day, and Tony continues to go above and beyond. He saw me, and said granddaughter has to match. He gave me the Mamas pizza/MN wild custom hoodie. I still wear it to this day, and think about his multiple acts of kindness while we were eating our favorite food, while mourning our favorite loved one. It’s been a couple of years, and I’m just now ready to post it, but Tony still sits at my families table every time asking how we are.

Kirby Phernetton

I've had a lot of people tell me to go here and I finally did tonight. Fantastic food and service. Above expectations. Definitely lives up to the hype. We will be back. The free small ice cream cone to end the meal topped it off and strangely paired well with the meal.

Kimberlyy Mascote

The pizza is so delicious you should try it so amazing

Steve Harrington

One of the best pizza in town these days. Worth the 45 min drive there. Only downside is the location. It's far and a little worse for the wear these days. Also was bummed they didn't have frozen pizzas anymore. They were amazing!

Kristina Gulley

I been going here since a kid and now I bring my kids it's our Families favorite Pizza 🍕 spot and yes we are treated like family.We Love you Tony 😘 …

Rae Williams

Excellent Food, I'm so glad my good friend Joe took us here. Rip Joe, and thanks again for another rocking place. The food here is great, the staff even better. I have been going to mama's for almost 10 years and I Drive from Shakopee to eat the food. It's good, the meatballs, sausage, Pizza and stuff shells. All yhe food I've had is great.

Ben Ruspeck

A great hole in the wall type spot for awesome pizza pasta and burgers. Definitely grab a menu for the fridge at home because you will be back. Absolutely the best pizza in St.Paul!

Alan Armstrong

I should have come here sooner. Super-friendly staff. No-frills, homey atmosphere. And quite good food. Fair portions for the price. Definitely worth getting cheese on your entree...it goes under some sort of blast-furnace...resulting in that perfectly browned surface.

Mike Miniboss

My daughter has grown real fond of Mama's Pizza over the last few years after grandpa introduced us to the place. He grew up there. We celebrated her 13th birthday there tonight and on our way our the staff gave her a Mama's t-shirt. Guys, you all MADE HER NIGHT!! Thanks y'all.

M

Absoulty the best Italian restaurant around the rice st area. I've tried them all and it's definitely the best ! ! ! Thanks Mama's Pizza

Todd Hollander

1st time I have gone to. Called in a order for a pizza. Was quite good. The sauce is a hearty tomato sauce. Service was great at pick up. Cheerful, helpful and even a bit funny.

judy tripp

When I lived on rice st I used to love,love,love this place! I moved several years ago but stopped by last winter and got 2 pizzas to go...still good pizza ,I remember the days of Peachy and the prize baskets and when Tony used to be around...my niece Jackie Pantelis had a huge crush on him! So did my daughter Tracy...we used to all get together once a month and eat at mamas pizza....those were the days! Jackie has since passed 😢...but me, my son Matt,daughter Violet,and daughter Jodie still like this place...so many memories!

Joe Cosmos

Mama's Pizza is a hidden gem in St.Paul, MN. I had a mini pizza with tree toppings for $8.00. It wasn't mini, it was twelve inches big. The owner himself cooked my pizza. The waitress was very friendly, checking on me several times. I had a nice conversation with the couple next to me, who have been going there for twenty years. I forgot to mention a free soft serve ice cream cone after you eat. Over all this place is great. I will be back soon.

C L D

Love this place, best sauce - balanced, kinda sweet and not too garlicky. Lasagna is the best but everything is good. This place gets busy. Good old fashioned Italian food in a bad neighborhood, can’t beat it.

Ian

THE SAUCE! This place has great pizzas and Italian food, you can buy their sauce in large containers to make food at home. The service staff is very friendly and they give you perfectly proportioned after dinner ice cream cones after your meal in house.

Sammie Beck

Best pizza on the north end customer service is the best they make you feel like family black olive green olives sausage pepperoni our favorite it's a must stop by

Owen King

Generous portions for the sandwiches keeps me coming back. They do the little things well too. Ice cream is a nice touch as well as the leftovers tin perfect for reheating.

Brian Gauster

Amazing food! Above and beyond exceptional customer service!! They went out of their way to help me out on mother's day.. If could I would give them 10 stars ..America needs more guys like the crew at Mama's!!👍 …

James Williams

I've been here before (nine +years ago) and it still has the same great taste.. The sauce is amazing and the ingredients are fresh.. And the crust..perfect!! Plus they didn't turn us away even when it was fifteen minutes till closing.. Luv this place.

Tyler E

I had my first ice cream cone here at the ripe age of 1 years old! I am now 22 and still have to have that ice cream cone, now matter how full I am! My family goes here for all of our birthdays and have been for the past 20+ years! I like to consider myself an american pizza snob. don't overload your pizzas with toppings! Mamas has the best pizza I have ever had and I have to get a small pizza every time I go. I usually bring my left over pizza home because I must have the spaghetti too. And those meatballs! Never have i ever had a better meatball in my life! The staff is always fun and Tony is always there to make sure your experience is going great. He used to give my brother and I birthday gifts every time we went in there, who else does that? Love this place and I try to go here as much as I can. If you want casual American-Italian food I suggest Mamas. Best pizza and pasta around. No contest!

B H

Small neighborhood Italian restaurant with delicious food at reasonable prices and HUGE servings - seriously, you'll want to share or you'll take half home! The teeny tiny complimentary ice cream cones are the perfect touch for dessert. The lasagne and pizza my party of 11 shared tonight were very tasty....thumbs up!

Sheldon Smith

Excellent! Started with Italian fries, then a Special Deluxe pizza. And a large spaghetti with meatballs to go! Great service especially considering the dining room was packed.

Gabriel Larson

Fantastic pizza and pasta! Even better service! The employees are always friendly and the food is always great. I think I've tried every pizza place in the North End neighborhood and this is my favorite by far! I highly recommend the cheese ravioli and the meatballs, but all of the food is excellent!

Jason Bennett

In a word: incredible! We arrived to find only a short wait for a table. The man behind the counter making the pizzas we found out was the owner, Tony. He took time to talk to us, asking if it was our first time there. I had been once before for lunch many years ago, but it was my significant other's first time. He thanked us for coming and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our server, Dante, was just as friendly and welcoming. We ordered a little bit of everything; a pizza, and some small pastas (the Sampler: spaghetti, mostacciololi and ravioli, and the stuffed shells, both baked with cheese). we were surprised at the generosity of the owner who provided a complimentary cheese sticks. We wouldn't have thought to order it, as it looked relatively simple...cheese on a pizza crust. It was utterly amazing! The seasoning on the cheese and crust was incredible, and the red sauce was absolutely perfect. The small pastas were very generous portions; we struggled to finish them (and I'm not one to push away from the table), and then the pizza came! We were both able to put down a small piece or two of the cheesy, saucy, perfectly browned pie before throwing in the towel. We had plenty of leftovers. We were able to put down our complimentary ice cream cone deserts somehow. We thanked Tony for his generosity and warmth on the way out. We had initially planned on going to another popular italian place near the Xcel Energy Center, but due to there being an event, we couldn't get in easily, and didn't want to wait. Best food decision ever! While I was telling Tony of our plan to eat elsewhere but ended up at Mama's, and how amazed we were, he caught a glimpse of the hospital visitor tag my Significant other wore, and asked if she was a nurse. We explained my daughter was in the hospital, and he asked how she was doing and expressed genuine concern for her and wishes and prayers for her to get better. It's clear that Mama's food is exceptional, but what puts it over the top is that the people are as warm and genuine and caring as you'll find. In these times, that's rare...and it's why Mama's has made us customers for life. We will be back again and again thanks to the incredible food, and the warmth and generosity of the owners and employees. I could not more highly recommend Mama's!

Dennis Gaspord

It has it all! Sauce, crust, ingredients, and an atmosphere that makes it feel like family all around you. My fridge smells like the sauce now and I can't wait for the left overs during the Vikings win against the saints! SKOL!!!

melissa conrad

Tony is the best owner/manager a person coukd ask for. His mom is proud of him. I have never had a bad experience at mama's pizza and i have been going there for 20+ years. Tony is above any other owner i have known for a restaurant. He gets right in there cooks and makes pizza. I was in there last week and wanted extra bread for my spaghetti. Because i had to wait like 10 minutes (no big deal), he told them to just give me a whole loaf of bread. Still eating it today.

Laurel LeBlanc

Intimate casual dining with East Siders and huge portions of pasta, table wine, crusty warm bread and a tiny soft serve vanilla cone afterward (small is all you can fit in after dinner). The owner is probably there working with the efficient staff and cares about your being completely satisfied. Always.

Patrick Lenahan

Great pizza and service. A true staple of St Paul. Family owned and opperated. Owner is there all the time working along side employees and is never too busy to welcome you or thank you for coming in. True hospitality.

Lorna Scheib

Hands down the best Italian restaurant that I've ever eaten at. I'd certainly recommend to anyone to try this place out! Can't beat the prices or the superior service! Great little neighborhood place! I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

Kristi Dundore Zakariasen

Have been going to this place for 20 years at least. Such a fun atmosphere. The people who work here are awesome. Food is fantastic. You will not walk out without a smile on your face and a full and happy stomach.

Jada Adams

Best pizza place offering an assortment of excellent Italian-American food. Quaint and classy dine in restaurant. Superb staff. Highly, highly recommended!

scott calistri

First of the service is superb. Drinks came in about 2 minutes. About anothe 2 minutes after using the cheese on the table, a guy came over and refilled it. The food we ordered, a pizza came with homeade sauce on the side. Sample platter was a bit of everything. Meatballs are good. The vibe is comfy, a super groovy 3D epic sculptur\painting. Portions are big prices are great but you cant beat homemade.

Quinn Bringas

Really fun at home feeling restaurant. Great food happy faces, the biggest thing that got me was the ice cream cone at the end. Didn't know pizza like this existed outside of Chicago. Will definitely come back

Kyle Langlie

Awesome food, huge portions, home cooked food. Very crowded, seems like a place that is always buzzing. Its pretty loud in there since there were so many people. They have pizza and pasta to choose from. Good place to go with family of friends, or even alone!

William Anderson

Love love love this place been coming here for a long time and will continue too come. I highly recommend if you like Italian food this is the spot to go. Awesome food great staff

Sean Sjogren

Great italian/american food at a good price. Large portions (order the small!) And friendly staff. It's also worth mentioning that after your meal you get a free ice cream cone, which is a nice touch, and when you ask for a take out container, they put some if their delicious tomato sauce in it, which really makes leftovers from here that much better

Val H

So good!

Brandon Adamo

Amazing staff and food. The food alone is great but what makes it better is that you get a ton of it for a great price. We ordered 3 pizzas which was what we would normally eat but Mamas gave is so much that we barely made it through half.

Stacy Tanner

Great people, best pizza and Italian food anywhere. You won't leave hungry with these portions, so bring an appetite. Love the free mini ice cream cones.

Strauss Skates

Just ordered pick up from here for my staff, we were impressed. Got a garbage (supreme) pizza to go. Lots of cheese, lots of toppings. Pizza was done perfectly, crispy on the edges, not soggy in the middle. Definitely found my new spot.

Meredith Wolfley

Best pizza and friendliest staff in the Twin Cities! Highly recommend for take-out - however, if you dine in, you get a complimentary soft-serve ice cream cone. Yum!

Brenda Nelson

Love this place. The food is delicious and inexpensive. The (day) staff have been the same for years and they are all amazing. I haven't been here in the evening other than take out.

Rebecca D

One of our favorite pizza/casual Italian restaurants! Great food and even better service, their customers are treated like family! Highly recommend!

Jessie Hernandez

Small comfy atmosphere!! Food was authentic and good. Serving where good portions definitely a place I would go back to. Waiter was friendly thg and attentive pip never got empty.

Jeff

This is seriously great pizza - I can hardly wait to try more from the menu!

Sanibel Dance

The food is always top notch. We've been coming here for 25 years. We love the mostaccioli, lasagna & spaghetti. Pizza Is also the bomb! Mama's has always been our favorite place to dine out. ❤

jeremy haak

If you are looking for great Italian food this place is a must! Great service, laid back atmospher, huge portions, very inexpensive, and a free ice cream cone after your meal! One of St. Paul's best!

Ashley Johnson

Small, cozy, worth the wait. Huge portions, great delicious food, secret ice cream finish. Family owned and ran. I've been coming here since I was a kid, always recommend it to others.

Mykky Mykky

Great place, but no dine in.

Alanna Galloway

Been going to Mama's since I was a kid. They take good care of their customers. Delicious pizza.

Mark Johnson

Meet my wife 46+yrs ago a block from Mama's Pizza, been going there since. From my wife and I the greatest service, pizza and other great food for all time. Thanks Tony and family

Lauren Kelly

As a Chicago transplant who grew up on some of the best pan pizza in the city, I can honestly say Mama's does pizza right. Everything from the crust to cheese to sauce makes it my favorite pizza in the Cities. The flavor explosion is unlike any pizza I've ever had and makes me question my sausage/pepperoni combo I've always favorited. We've never dined in, but whenever we pick up our pizza everyone is very friendly and the place has a warmth that reminds me of pizza places back home. After writing this, I think I've decided I need to get some pizza tonight. So good!

Jeff Zaayer

The quintessential Minnesota pizza. Lots of cheese, crispy crust, square cut.

Kurt Knutson

Hands down the best thin crust red sauce pizza anywhere! Best cheese, best sausage, best crust and very good service. Red Savoy's wishes it could have pizza this good. Oh yeah and the other food on the menu is good too.

Rick Rolli

Ordered the mostacciolli with sausage. Comes with real sliced Italian bread and a mini vanilla ice cream cone. They have very tasty sauce and real mozzarella cheese that stretches for a mile. I'm going back. See you soon.

Malena Marschinke

Love the service great staff they work Hard to make you feel like family. Fantastic Pizza! And great Italian food love this place makes you feel at home and granddaughter loves free icecream cone!! 😀 …

Daniel Hayle

There's definitely a reason this place has been open almost literally forever. What seems like simple food is presented in concert of layered flavors, complex but complimenting. You'll not find more consistent deliciousness, and the service is always top notch. It's just a hole in the wall place, but every time you walk in it's like coming home.

Catpsyche

The very best pizza in The Twin Cities! Excellent staff and Friendly, not just MN Nice. And did I mention it's the best pizza in all of The Twin Cities?!... Eat in and carry-out only.

Michael Fox

The atmosphere, the food and service are always top notch. My dad took me there when I was a kid and I have going there and telling friends and colleagues ever sense. Tony has always good to me and my family.

J Take37

Amazing little Italian place. Small place but always seem to find a seat. A little longer wait for bigger families. Portions are huge and their spaghetti sauce is the bomb. Pizza is amazing.

Samantha Wells

My family has been coming to Mamas since my parents started dating around 30 + years ago. Everytime we eat here it just wows all of us. The food and the staff are amazing

David H

Absolutely delicious and I mean DELICIOUS!!! I went for the first time today to see what all the fuss is about and was not disappointed. Great tasting pizza, definitely recommend to try this place out.

Robbie Moe

Pasta was amazing, and you get enough for at least two meals. Even though there was plenty of sauce, my waitress brought more to put on! Excellent, would recommend to anyone!

Seabrey Kaufman

My first time here. The food was great and HUGE portions. Service was decent. The restaurant itself though is pretty gross. Could use a thorough cleaning and maybe a remodel.

Msjackson Jackson

My goodness! Great food...I was shocked! Great pizza, great sausage, cheese please! And the ice cream was good...I would recommend this place to anyone that loves good old fashioned Italian food

Tina Michalski

Family owned. Great Italian food!

Richard Zasada

Always polite, quick, excellent service. Great food. Tony the owner is always spot on with food and service. Do yourself a favor and go there on Rice St. And Front . You'll be happy and your stomach happier.

Justin VanReese

Dine in or carry out. We order their flavor explosion pretty much every time. Crisp crust, zesty sauce, and loaded with cheese. Its a great Midwest style pizza.

Marie Dino

Just moved into the neighborhood. First time ordering andaand got meat pizza and it was really tasty. Pizza stayed hot on the walk home. Will definitely come back.

Young Koba

Got a Meat Combo, ended up lovin' the cheeeeeeeeesey goodness. Staff was overly friendly (great thing) which compliments awesome food for a definite "will be back." 👍👍 …

chad vaidich

Having made the drive from Brooklyn Park, I can only sum up my experience as EPIC! Food and service was top notch. Definitely returning soon! Keep up the amazing job!

Chaunce Stanton

More of a neighborhood go-to spot than a destination gem. The pasta dishes are predictable and bland - the sort of thing your nephew in college could whip up from boxes and cans in the cupboard. The pizza is okay, but certainly not worth the price. You know why people love Mama's? They dump processed mozzarella cheese on everything and give you a free little ice cream cone for dessert.

Hoped Glaser

This is our favorite place there is no comparison pizza is super. Lots of sauce, cheese pepperoni, or sausage they have the best past in town and we love takin some of the franch bread to bake for our breakfast services is great friendly clean

Shon Parker

Truly Classic (American) Italian being done perfectly. This is how I remember Italian food being like as a kid. Friendly staff, delicious food, MORE than reasonably priced. Don't go to Buca, don't go to Yarrusso's...you wanna be at Mama's.

Tyler Metzdorf

Hands down best Pizza in MN! Always fantastic customer service as well. All around great place, 10/10

Emily White

Every time we come to Minnesota we make a point to have a Mama's Pizza on Rice Street in St Paul. I fondly remember having Mama's at least one Friday every month when we lived in St Paul. So eating here brings back a lot of happy memories. I would highly recommend Mama's Pizza, it's the best.

DJ Brennhofer

Wife and I are looking to move in the area and wanted to try a local pizza joint. We were not disappointed. Pizza and pasta were great. Our waitress was great as well. Definitely will be coming back.

randy pfluger

You’re not gonna find a better pizza and I Italian food restaurant in Saint Paul they do not have one bad thing on his menu. I drive 30 miles just to get takeout is that good.

Andy Kokes

Mama's is my favorite pizza in the east metro. Great cheese, great crust, tasty sauce. The staff is always great. And ice cream for dessert. What else could you ask for?

Joseph Bliskowski

Great food Great service 👍🏼 👌 😋

Matt Irestone

Mama's was not only welcoming when I first walked through the door, the staff was awesome and the Za was one of best I've had! Very tasty!

David Verplank

I am very sentimental about Mama's Pizza. Since 1979 my mom and I would eat there when we lived only a few blocks away. I still like to go and the pizza is the same as I remember it. Tony is carrying on the legacy.

Ricardo Hernandez

Mama's Pizza is the best pizza I've eaten and for various reasons. Firstly, the real cheese! The smell and the taste it leaves is that of real cheese, not cardboard tasting pizza. 2nd, the best lasagna, and the best tasting sausage that only Tony knows the recipe. 3rd, it's not just pizza, it's the American food they make as well hamburgers fries things that sometimes younger children want to eat. 4th, Tony, he's a consummate worker and a smile and engaging personality that keeps me and my family coming back, along with the crispy edge of the pizza we fight for! YAY 😀. 5th, a testimonial to Tony's personality and professionalism is his devoted employees. They are no regular workers, they are courteous, they don't just say the words they live it in that if they see you outside they engage you in conversation with smiles and genuine care. This is not just "great pizza " which is the reputation, but it is a family,and you see that as you begin coming for the pizza then you come back for the family!!😁

Matt Lang

Been coming to Mama's for over 15 years with the family, and it's our favorite spot in St. Paul. Always awesome food, service, and atmosphere. Thank you Tony for all your hard work!

Nate Struck

Great pizza, but make sure you get there early for dinner or you'll be waiting in the small lobby area for quite a while for a table to open up...Especially if there's a Vikings game.

Kevin Dahm

Because sometimes you need a massive amount of Italian pizza or pasta. Great prices for value, it's fun to be a part of the mass of people that pour in when this place opens on a weekend afternoon. Come hungry.

Rocky Woad

Hands down the best pizza in Minnesota! They have won many honors for their pizza and it's clear at first bite why! I look forward to their pasta dishes next!

Grace Groh

My family has been going here for years...my dad grew up with Tony and my parents had their wedding reception here so going here is like coming home for the holidays....I've never had a bad meal here the spaghetti with baked cheese is to die for and the portions are HUGE...I love this place and will always stop in for a meal when given the chance

Jack Westman

Delicious food, massive portions, welcoming family atmosphere, and prices so low you'd think you had gone back in time 20 years. One of my absolute favorite restaurants in all the twin cities. Thank you Mama's

Doug James

lived on the east side my whole life never went to this place and I don't know why! Now that I've had the Mama's experience, I keep going back for more. Great food, service and prices!

Glenn Renick

In 30 years I've never had a bad meal at Mama's. Come hungry and still take home leftovers. Better than any chain restaurant!

Bryan Rogers

We ordered well done because the pizza we saw coming out looked under done. Our pizza came out looking like all the rest and the center was soggy. So disappointing. We know how good the pizza here can be and we will be back but the pizza was rushed tonight

DANA W

Great cheese bread and pizza. Superb service. My mom hadn't been there in at least 15 + years (she lives out of state now) She said, it was as great now as back then.

Teresa Taray

OMG! What do I say..BEST ITALIAN food around since I was a kid!! And,feels like Home the minute you walk in..Tony is doing his Mama justice in running this place just like she did!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!🍕💞💞 …

Kynaru Helio

One of the better italian places around, family run from a family in italy second generation. Fresh home made sauce, freshly shredded mozzarella cheese and meatballs to die for. It's certainly not a super fancy place, and it's not meant to be, it's all about family and the friendly atmosphere is just another reason to come :)

Jon Mulack

Found this by chance and have to rave about it. One of the best Pizza's I have ever had. Period. Take home some red sauce and their sausage too. You won't be disappointed.

Daniel Kelly

First time there. The pizza is delicious. Must go back after Walz restrictions are done would love to see the place in fully operational

Samuel Farnham

I enjoy everything about this place, I've been going there for 4 years soon to be 5. I especially enjoy talking with the waitresses, my favorite people there are Sarah and Dante. They're fast and super friendly!

J Bayerl

Pizza and pasta was amazing!!! As soon as I was handed two slices I had an idea of what I was getting. It was heavy. Really good. Will be back.

Cassie Ness

Excellent and great food. I love this place.

Michael knapp

Excellent pizza just like always I've tried many pizza establishments none compared to Mam's

Michael Schmidt

Some of the best pizza in all of the cities. I'll drive half way across town for this stuff if I'm in the mood. Cozy sit-down area if you choose to dine in. Tony is awesome!

Lindsey Albright

My family loves this place. The food is delicious and filling. They also have a gluten free pizza crust that we trust for my Grandma, who has Celiac's Disease

Dan Burkhart

Great Italian food and pizza. Been going here for years and never had a bad meal. Tony & Staff are awsome.

Christopher Copeland

David Draves

Always one of my favorite places to eat! A lot of great food at very reasonable price...great staff!

Eric Nelson

St. Paul pizza with square cuts and tons of stringy cheese. Old school pizza place with tacky murals and great people. Ice cream cones served to everyone as a dessert. NOT fancy, just awesome!

Andy Sirianni

We made it at a good time,because it got very crowed after we sat down. we ordered a pizza and had plenty of food for two to share. the ice cream at the end was an awesome bonus.

Andie Foxie

Mama's is always plenty of hot wonderful food! We brought friends for their first visit and they loved it! Wonderful server this evening!

1 2

Visited twice before, always great food. THE Best pasta and sauce. Owner is also great, remembers ppl by name typically. Cool place. Call ahead for a table on weekends.

SAMMIE VANN

Best pizza hands down in the twin cities !!!!!! they don't deliver which is ok with me ...I believe this maintains the quality and the integrity of their food. No supply and demand just authentic great food !

Kelly Petzold

Great food. Service a bit slow. Pizza came out about 10 minutes before others food. Party of 4. 2 had pizza other 2 didn't get their food until later.

Cassie Potter

Small pizza place that's very busy at lunch time, for good reason--the food is excellent with large portions. Bonus is the little ice cream cone every diner receives at the end of the meal.

bacio dall'italia

Needed some italian comfort food. So i went back to my old stomping ground for the best hot dago ever. Love coming here for that small town friendly comfort i was craving.

Gary langerud

Awesome food, Excellent customer service, had about a minute wait, but they made a cheese pizza and gave away free slices while we were waiting. Awesome

Kathleen Castillo

My first time eating at Mama's Pizza. The food was absolutely wonderful & the service was excellent! Will definitely go back again soon.

James Tait

Hands down best pizza in Minnesota!. Great pasta, HUGE portions, and the hot dagos are to die for. Needless to say it is my go-to pace for pizza when I'm in the cities!!

Robert Winter

Best pizza ever!

Joan Dreyer

Love the little ice cream cones that come with each meal. My favorite cozy Italian place with friendly staff, family run business! Say hi to Tony.

Always a great place to eat Be prepared to wait for a seat though otherwise take out is your best bet! Friendly staff, great food and process make for a wonderful time at Mama's

Ian Maloney

Great food and service,not many little hometown places around like this. The staff has fun conversation, and the costumers are just as interactive. Couldn't think of a better place to eat.

Barry Joseph

Had the all meat pizza. Food took a while to get but probably one of the best pizza's I have had. If you are in the area this is a must place to eat at.

Jason Zastrow

Best pizza and Diego in ST Paul. Staff is always friendly

A B

Awesome pizza. Awesome ravioli's. grwst customer service. I waited a bit longer than I should've so the man with my food gave me a box of chocolates for dessert!

Rennae Glidden

Best italian restaurant in the twin cities. I like to pick up meatball, sauce, and a loaf of italian bread to eat at home. Very reasonable prices.

Renee Farmer

First time having Mama's pizza, service was outstanding, got a pizza for take out and smells amazing! Had to have a piece on the way home!! Delicious!!!

Steven Mannie

Pizza was pretty good. Could of been cut a bit better. It looks like it was just quickly cut right out of the oven and the sauce got pushed to the outside near the crust.

Lynn Jaspersen

Still the sure fire place to get the best pizza in town! If you like thin, crust, hearty & fresh toppings and lots of cheese, this is your place!

Jeremy W

Incredibly good pizza. No nonsense staff, casual atmosphere. Everyone gets a tiny Ice cream cone at the end of your meal. A St. Paul classic.

A Z

Cute and unassumingly quaint place with delicious food serving generous portions. Two wall TVs for those in need of sports. Accommodating and friendly staff. A gem.

Anna Cirilo

I love this place and my favorite since I was a kid and now, well not a kid anymore and still love it. Italian pizza fries with sauce ❤👍🍕❤ …

bryan steele

Couldn’t be more impressed with food and service… excellent atmosphere!

Angie Banangie

You need to try the Flavor Explosion, it's simply my favorite pizza, the toppings perfectly compliment the sauce. I miss a lot of pizza spots in MN, but this is the one we always go to when we are back in MN.

Joshua James

The best pizza in the city. All stop. Service like you've just come home,the family legitimately missed you, and there all open arms and smiles. Where else does this happen?.

Kyle Flaherty

Mama's has my favorite baked maostaccioli and sausage. Their pizza is phenomenal. The emplouees are the best.

Patsy Kreuter

Actually a little better than okay they have been around for a long time friendly atmosphere like your in someones house food is good Italian mostly with some American too reasonable in price too and at the end of your meal you get a little surprise which tops off the meal just right you'll have to go there to find outif you don't already know

Matthew Gantz

Stop #169 for @pizzas365: Mama's Pizza has an average-to-decent pizza, with a great savory sauce but way too much cheese for a thin crust pizza. 3.8 Stars.

Bryan Voyda

I've been going there for at least 35 years and it's still amazing and the best pizza I've ever had .thanks tony

Jim Davis

This place has the best pizza! The cheese is something really special.

patty jones

Used to eat in. No longer available.

Cheryl Fjetland

I was kinda disappointed, the sauce on spaghetti was to sharp so that means too much tomato paste. Otherwise the staff was excellent!! Clean environment.

LEA Howze

Pizza is always good. A little to much cheese for me. Tried pasta it was ok, I think sauce used to be better.

bullion bouncer

I used to come in here with my grandma twice a week excellent food awesome pizza havent been there for ten years and its all still the same food it still amazing mamas pizza is truly an iconic piece of rice street drove 40 min plus to come eat here and will be doing it many more times to come

Chase K

Super good pizza. The crust was fantastic. The mini ice cream cone at the end was a nice treat.

Keep Calm And Carry

Solid pizza - one of the best in the cities. A server or two with attitude but it won't damper the food experience of this traditional Italian restaurant.

Prime Risk

Get in there! Great red sauce, huge portions and the best service at reasonable prices. Try the sausage plate, it's to die for!

Eric Downs

Great food an good service me an my wife fell in love after our first time an now we don't eat pizza from no where else best we have had in Minnesota .

Quam Quam

Sampler Platter is amazing. So is the pizza. Best old school Italian in St. Paul.
