Best cheesesteak among great Philly cheesesteaks – At Mamas you can have your CFO (cheesesteak fried onions) and eat it too. Order one, eat one-half there and take the other half home for five hours later. Both meals will be more than filling, or split one with a friend, but it must be a very close friend. The rolls are soft with a crust that holds the steak, onion and provolone perfectly. Powers of description are beggared by mere summary of its ingredients. Without hyperbole, it could be the acme of human endeavor. Check t... read more

Refused Birthday Party – Mamas Pizzeria is anything but how they claim to be on their website. "Our goal has been to ensure the complete satisfaction of every customer - and meet all of your expectations and know that our customers are always our number one priority." Completely false! I have never encountered such a contradiction. When I happily called a month in advance to reserve a 10 person table, celebrating a birthday party and a family reuniting under the roof of their favorite childhood restaurant since the late 50s ... read more

Mama's even delivers to Florida – My husband grew up eating Mama's and the 1st trip I made to Philly I had to taste this so called "genuine" cheesesteak. I must say I couldnt eat the whole thing due to it's size but it was the best! So much so that we have them delivered down here to Florida during the "delivery season". We honestly believe they should open a restaurant down here in Florida to show us "crackers" what a "genuine" cheesesteak really is.

Pricey but Good – Okay, I didn't try the pizza which was not expensive but the chesesteak itself was $8. Problem was, it was what my friend calls a 'tweener. Big for one, not big enough for two. At any rate, the cheesesteak was among the best 've had. I live in roxborough where there' s steak joint on every corner...but none like this. Hours are definitely limited but it's worth it. Odd location too. Not much around other than houses.

Excellent Chicken Cheesesteak – Recently tried Mama's based on the reviews I saw on city search. I am not big on beef, so I got a chicken cheesesteak...I think the best I ever had. The sandwich was huge, half was more than enough, and loaded with lots of cheese and large pieces of fried onions. I highly recommend it for anyone...just beware, they have very limited hours.

The Best as Far as I Know – As I read the reviews here I shed a tear, because sometimes in the middle of the day I think about Mama's and realize it's so far from California (where I am now). I grew up in Philadelphia and ate here with my Dad and brother whenever we could. AWESOME! The most delicious cheesesteaks you can have. High quality ingredients and deliciously blended. Unique flavor and simply GREAT! Not the same type as Pat's, etc., but can be related in the sense that this is what those should aspire to be. The pizz... read more

When in Philly Eat at Mama's – Mama's has the most amazing cheese steaks EVER! The menu is excellent with many options for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. This is a must do in Philly and is worth the search.

Best Cheesesteak by FAR – Grew up in Phila and thought all cheesesteaks were good. Had favoirites and thought life was good. Then I found Mama's in 1980 and it all changed. It is an awesume sandwich. Large (which is good), on a great crispy roll, with good meat. The Pizza Steak version is by far the best with lots of meat, cheese and sauce. A great meal unto itself. I moved to Chicago almost 20 years ago and come back to Phila a lot. Mama's is always on my list of places to see even if it is an hour from my family's house.

Watch what you say about my Mama! – There are not many places to which I'll drive an hour for comfort food, but here's one. The food is always flavorful, hot and promptly served. Real steak, real cheese...what a novel idea! The sauces are authentic, not canned. The cheeses are varied and fresh, and the steak is cooked the way you like it. Whats more, you can eat with non-steak lovers from the very varied menu.
