"In an impossibly small space, the luscious square slices are on full display, each of them thicker, greasier, and more lushly topped than the one before. The crusts are crunchy, too, and the tomato sauce is slightly sweet. Note the stylish cupping pepperoni. The poached pear and gorgonzola square is unforgettable, and evidence of Mama’s originality. There’s another bigger location in the West Village. Insider tip: The Uptown location feels more neighborhoody while the West Village location hosts more pizza tourists." - Eater Staff
