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!
PEACHES0079 – I THINK MAMA SANTA'S PIZZA IS THE BEST. ALL OF THE REVIEWS SHOW THAT, ONCE YOU GO THERE YOU WILL KEEP GOING BACK. FOR THOSE FEW THAT DON'T LIKE IT THAT'S FINE, IT JUST SHOWS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY IDEAL OF WHAT " GREAT " FOOD IS. THE FOOD, THE PEOPLE, THE ATMOSPHERE IS JUST WONDERFUL.
best ever – Since moving from Cleveland 3 years ago, there are few things I really miss, but I must say, Mama Santas is one of them. The pizza is authentic and you can have a dinner for two including a bottle of cheap sangria which is pretty good!) for under $15. Little Italy is an awesome place....I go to Mama's every time I visit.
I miss it! – My now husband went to Case as an undergrad and every weekend I would visit him we HAD to go to Mamas!! It is my favorite pizza! Now we live in Boston, and I still talk about Mama's pizza! I even talk to MIT students who are from Cleveland about how much I miss it and they agree! I can not wait to go back someday to have some more! However, the service isn't the best. :( But the pizza more than makes up for it. It's not everyone's favorite, but it is mine!!! :)
