My husband I drove from Mayfield Heights to Little Italy (about 8 miles) to sample the supposedly best pizza in Cleveland. What a disappointment! I wish I would have read the above reviews before we set out for the evening. The crust was thin with a very bland flavor, a little dry. There was VERY little pizza sauceon it, so it lacked any flavor there. I ordered mushroom and green pepper toppings for 1.25 each. The mushrooms were canned and there were very few pieces of green pepper on it. The cheese they use is obviously a v... read more
Nothing Special – My sister came to visit one weekend and we decided we wanted really good pizza, and I had seen that Mama Santa's was always mentioned when people taked about great pizza in Cleveland, so we decided to try it. The crust was really good, super crispy, but the overall taste was just ok. Maybe the pasta is better (seemed to see more people eating it), but our food wasn't anything great. It was the some of the greasiest pizza I've ever seen, but that didn't seem to affect the taste for better or worse. The other... read more
Miss you Mama Santa! I'm originally from Cleveland but now live in Palm Springs, Ca. There is not one place that has homemade and authentic tasting pizza here in Palm Springs like Mama Santa's. I am forever dreaming of the pizza from there and everytime I return home I must have it!
Great pizza; terrible service – The pizza at Mama Santa's is some of the best I've ever had, but our waitress was terrible. It took 10 minutes for her to take our drink order and another 10 minutes to bring the drinks. After my wife and I where clearly done with our pizza our waitress was no where to be found. We had to ask another waitress to find her, and when she couldn't they other waitress had to bring us our check. My advice is to get the pizza to go.
overrated – I was told this place had the best pizza in Cleveland. I was shocked by what I actually got. It was overcooked, even black on some parts. Even if it was fine the service leaves a lot to be desired. Service is indifferent to say the least. Everyone is pretty brusque and unfriendly, almost like they don't care if you come back or not. Don't worry, I won't. Soda is served in a small glass at $1.30 and no refills! It comes across as very cheap on their part. Stick with the free water they give you. To top it off they... read more
So-so Taste but Costs Little $$ – Good pizza and manicotti. Stay clear of the lasagna. Decor a little tacky. Service is inconsistent- sometimes efficient and friendly, other times slow and a tad bit rude.
best ever – best pizza ever. if dont like dont know italian if u ever tasted it. so good. pasta is amazing there too
I have been going to Mama Santas Restaurant for the past 38 years. My parents starting going and have taken all three kids and their siblings and so on. It's the best pizza and sauce!
Best Italian for the value, and still great food – This place is actually very tasty. By no means upscale, but the pastas are fresh and the pizza crisp. The toppings on pizza are canned, or dehydrated onions, but with the homemade sauce and crust it comes out much better than expected- much better than any delivery joint. We've had pizza, salad, garlic toast, and a couple of past dishes. All very simple but tasty, surprisingly so. And very inexpensive, a dinner for 2 with drinks is around $20. The space has weird green, or f... read more
