Reasonable & Delicious – 10 years ago when I was in college in this area we would walk miles to get this pizza. Now, I'd drive miles to get this pizza. The ambiance of Little Italy is always a treat, and this pizza is really the best this area has to offer. The prices are not outrageous, and the service is nice.

A fun and tasty place – The first time I went to Mama Santa's, I had heard all of the hype, and after I ate the pizza, frankly, I was less than impressed. In fact, I wasn't sure I liked it at all. However, after repeated dinners and pizzas, the Sicilian taste has really grown on me, and it's one of my favorite pizza joints now, and certainly one of the cheapest. Give it a try, and I can't imagine you'll end up being disappointed. As an ajoinder, the pizzeria atmosphere is great for the kids.

Don't believe the hype – After hearing about the award-winning pizza, I expected something great, but I was sorely disappointed. The service was unattentive and it took nearly an hour for our burnt pizza to arrive. It's cheap; you get what you pay for.

The Best Pizza??? – I've had Mama Santa's pizza on more than one occasion and I can not understand why it wins Best Pizza year after year. They must pay their employees to get on the computer and vote for it. I've tried cheese, pepperoni, sausage, deluxe. No flavor. The price is reasonable, but there's no taste. The sausage...blech. Maybe an onion and mushroom would be ok, but I don't even like the crust. Well anyway, you can keep voting for this pizza every year and embarrass Cleveland pizza parlors everywhere. I'm still in... read more

THE BEST PIZZA AT THE BEST PRICE. – WELL FOLKS THE PIZZA AT MAMA SANTAS IS GREAT BUT WHEN ITS BUSY IT TAKES A LITTLE LONGER.

The most overrated pizza I ever had – I have been all around the country and when I moved to Cleveland I heard how great their pizza is, and when went, I thought it was terrible. I've worked in the food industry for many years, so I did give it a second and even a third chance. I would rather eat a frozen pizza at home. I have eaten at most of the pizza places on the top 10 and would reccommend any of them over Mama Santa's.

Want your pizza in 10 minutes? Go to Pizza Hut! – Mama Santa's is a staple in Cleveland and for good reason. The pizza is sicilian-style and amazing, probably because of the care these people put into making a delicious pizza. Does that mean you'll wait 20plus minutes for the pizza to bake? You bet- but it's well worth it. While you wait, order an appetizer or one of the tasty seasoned salads. Combined with the bread you'll receive, it'll tide you over. I've been going here for several years- since I began college in the are... read more

Wouldn't Know About the Pizza... – My one and only experience with Mama Santa's was pretty lousy! I expected a long wait, but while my food came in a fairly reasonable amount of time, my friend's pizza never did! When we asked about the pizza, the waitress was surly and rude, then she failed to come around at all. We waited a full 35 minutes after MY dinner arrived (which,by the way was mediocre at best) before calling the whole thing a wash, paying for the food we actually got, and leaving. Will probably not go back.

Not for West Side Yuppies, Cibo Italia – The one knack people have on this place is the service, well deal with it. The last time I was in the joint I waited only 20-25 minutes for my food, and a little longer for the pizza, and thats because it was a Friday night. The majority of bad reviews I read are normally from people from the Westside, and I mean the far Westside like Westlake. What do the majority of these yuppies know about real Italian food, not a darn thing. For someone to say that the atmosphere is lacking, well ... read more
