The best pizza on the planet is Mama Santa's ! – I grew up in Little Italy and some of my fondest memories are of eating Mama Santa's pizza and pasta. I now live in Parma, but still make the trek to the Hill for the awesome food.
PIZZA – Mama Santa's is the best pizza anywhere. Don't gimme your Chicago pan pizza jive or your NY Sicilian propaganda. I've had them all and Cleveland's Mama Santa's beats them, hands down. Go and check it out for yourself!!!!!!!! Fly in from around the globe.
Definitely for me. . . but, not for everyone – Mama Santa's has the best food in Little Italy, hands down. The homemade pastas are amazing. The pizza is very good and the wine is good and cheap. But, it's a neighborhood place, and it's definitely not for everyone. Some people expect a wider selection of beers, and a brighter interior. I like the "home-like" atmosphere of Mama Santa's. But some people won't appreciate it. The waitresses get busy as does the kitchen and people dining there should expect it to get busy and to d... read more
pizza done right – A place where the crust is an undecided between thick and thin. And the pizza seems burt, but they make the best pizza in cleveland hands down. I am able to eat half a pizza by myself.
WOW!!!! – This is BY FAR the best restaurant that I have ever been to.. italian or otherwise. My boyfriend and I went on a Friday night and we were seated right away. Everyone was wonderful and the food... wow!! Home made everything!! We got soo much food.. Im talking 2 entrees of spaghetti, an appetizer and a medium 8 cut pizza and we walked out therer spending less the $30!!! You have GOT to try the homemade mozzerella sticks. They are as big as logs and the pizza is better then anything that I ever had. GO TO MAMA SANTAS!... read more
without a doubt, the best in cleveland – there is no other place that can match the embiance and the quality and flavor you will experience at Mama Santa's. In classic Little Italy on the near east side of Cleveland there are many good places to go, but Mama Santa's should be on the top of your list for dining pleasure.
Good, but was better – We have been to Mama Santa's many times over the years. I have to say that overall, they use to be much better than they are now. Recently we took our children there for dinner. The pizza was so hard and black on the bottom that my two year old would not have even been able to chew it. The waitress was slightly annoyed that we asked to send it back. The second time around the pizza was much better. My husband's pasta was average. I love the area and think Mama's is a nice place and I take no joy in giv... read more
gone down Murray Hill and getting worse – after a very long 45 min wait, the pizza looked and tasted like burned carboard! After leaving it pretty intact except for 2 small leftover bites...the owner claimed it as his own dinner and that it was the same wonderful pizza as always. BULL.....I have eaten there since the 60's when it was the best....shame on me...how dare I complain. Hey, I even put up with the lousy service all of these years. No more..let it keep sliding down the hill!
Mamma Santa's – Until recently, I had only ever eaten Mamma's homemade pasta. I decided to give the pizza a shot. WOWWWWWW. The taste is unbelievable. When this thing came to my table, I must admit I wasn't very impressed with the way it looked, and I really wasn't expecting it to taste any better. By my second bite, I was hooked. I sat there and ate 6 pieces because I simply could not stop. I have had authentic New York Sicilian pizza and this is the next best (if not better) thing!
