Mama's Pizza

Service: After multiple recommendations, I got the chance to try this out today. They picked up the phone right away and were extremely friendly when I called. The pizza was ready for pickup as soon as I arrived. The restaurant was pretty full but I still got in and out quickly. Food: The pizza was fantastic! We just got a plain chees neopolitan. The cook was perfect and the crust is fantastic. This will definitely be a regular go-to for us.

“Mama” would be disappointed with the cooking… I feel bad for the people claiming this as the NY or Neapolitan-style pizza. It is not. Wasn’t terrible but very generic doughy slices (and all flop). Chicken parm sub was one of worst I’ve seen crafted. Three oversized rubbery tenders and they didn’t even cut it in half. Literally could not fold the sub and it came apart quickly. The menu is also lacking…for example no eggplant parm is a headscatcher, but they have a sausage parm? Saving grace were the friendly and helpful staff at the counter.

Love this place! The service is always fantastic. I have been coming here for over 12 years (back when it was on Old Milton) and Kristin has been taking excellent care of me the whole time. She is always super busy (she never stops moving!) but she always has a friendly face and word for everyone. She knows her regulars and puts in our orders when we walk in. The salad is to die for, and the pizza is amazing every time. The lunch special is a great deal, and it's a quick in and out service. Highly recommend and I keep coming back because of the family feel and excellent service.

Went there for the very first time because my little one wanted pizza and this was right across the mall. Everything about this spot was great. From the food to the service to the location itself. We ordered their margherita pizza and some garlic knots. The pizza was so delicious and fresh (obviously). The knots were a little too garlicky for our taste but delicious nonetheless. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to eat local and great quality pizza.

We’ve ordered takeout from here before, just a few pies & they’ve always been good. I was pleasantly surprised with their lunch specials. A slice with a topping of your choice (or not) w/ a side salad house comes with cucumber,tomato, mozzarella & ham! The slice of pizza is NY size & just the way I like it thin & crispy.

I'm actually from New York City and this pizza is strikingly accurate to what can found in my old neighborhood pizza place that has been around for thirty years. I didn't expect such authentic New York style pizza here in Georgia. I've had bad experiences with pizza that claimed to be New York style in other areas of the country so I was pleasantly surprised. Just come in and sit down and the servers come right to you. Everyone is very nice and attentive. The atmosphere is very relaxed and it's a great place to come in and have a beer and a few slices and chill out. The prices are wonderful too but coming from New York I can't compare to the rest of the area. $6 for a pint of beer and $3 for some slices seems very fair. This is my goto place when I want some real pizza. I enjoy coming in here and it's a great place.

Pizza tastes decent. The pie looked like a California Mud slide after being delivered by UberEats.

Went in for the first time, great hostess made a great recommendation. Supreme hand-tossed thin crust. It has pepperoni, sausage, (I know I though they were reading my diary too) and more. Delicious!

We ordered three things. The white pizza, three cheese pizza, and a chicken bake thing with spaghetti. We definitely loved the white pizza. It was so good. It smells like kettle corn and tastes like sweet cheese. The cheese pizza is also delicious. However, I wasn't a fan of the spaghetti. The chicken park was quite good, but the noddles were too watery. The people here are quick and chill. I will definitely do the white pizza soon!!!!!

Excellent food. Excellent service and a decent ambiance. The wait staff is friendly and explains the specials very well. She even gave suggestions for us first timers. Great size portions!

$$ Mama's Pizza was a great establishment for a solid lunch. The pricing is very reasonable and there is ample seating within the establishment. Our server, Kristen, was very kind and had great suggestions off the menu to try for lunch. It is centrally located down by North Point Mall in Alpharetta Georgia. I had a sausage and bacon calzone, which was large enough for at least two meals, if not three. My friends each had two slices of pizza and ended up only eating one slice and bring in the other home. We each had a soda, which was bottomless, as Kristen continually kept an eye on them and made sure they were full. I do recommend Mama's Pizza for a good lunch!

I am going to reply to Jimmy's reply to my wife, which is filled with lies. I have proved Jimmy is s a liar !!!! A tool and the Pizza Naza "jimmy V.Business Owner" Wow im absolutely disgusted that someone would write a review and compare a man of Jewish descent to a Nazi. First this is so appalling in today's day and age and against everything we at mamas believe in. Second I wish i could say I'm shocked but sadly this is the type of condescending abuse we've put up with from you Brian. Jimmy, get a sense of humor, learn to take a joke, he does bring the fictional character from Seinfeld to life, he truly is the pizza Nazi. immy V.Business Owner. Nobody has ever let the insults fly. However nobody deserves the treatment that Brian brings our way. Hard to be friendly when someone is running you ragged and being condescending. This is too funny and even sad reply. We order something is running ragged, lol, expecting quality and what we pay for is running ragged and rude? The attituded shown by Jimmy & his staff is horrible!!! He thinks he's god's gift to pizza & he's not, his thin crust is subpar at best, the only way he wins pizza of the year is by bribing his customers with free food for votes. immy V.Business Owner When you guys were here that night, Brian returned the cups of water several times because they were "leaking" condensation is a real problem when it's in the 90's. This is science and not much we can do but bring you a coaster and napkins neither option was ok with you. You also were not satisfied with where you sat, your pizza and the cheese on your pie. The amount of time it took to cook( clearly marked on the menu to plan for 25 min) This is a total lie Jimmy!!, you are a filthy LIAR!!!!!!! This never happened & you know it!! The restaurant is self-seating , your tables are never bussed, so we asked for it to be cleaned because it was still dirty, asking for extra cheese and not getting it would be the only complaint we made. immy V.Business Owner we have always taken call ahead orders and will continue to do so. No idea where you came up with that. I'm not sure how you can claim you come in infrequently. In the last 2 weeks you've been here 3 times with your abusive attitude. I guess you math as well as you science. Jimmy, I have seen you berate customer for calling in orders and then say they want to eat at the restaurant, saying take out is take out only. I eat pizza (7) days a week, (2) slices for lunch a day, and pizza for dinner twice a week, my family has it for dinner at least twice a week, so let's do the math Mr. math whiz, how much money we spend on pizza and how many times we come. Let's give you the three times in one month, lets talk all the other months or this year, it's not that much at all, nor is it frequently. The only abusive attitude is you & your staff to us by you and your staff !!!! look at you reply to my wife, enough said! immy V.Business Owner I will tell you again that as amazing as the fried calzone is it is not on the menu. There is a reason for it and we have explained why but you refuse to understand how a business works. Do you go to chick fil an and order a burger? Of course not because it's not on the menu. Could the kitchen make one? Absolutely!! But it would cause absolute chaos and all of our customers would suffer. My wife answered this well enough. If doing a fried calzone is chaos then you prove you have no idea how to cook, your too lazy to do it or don't want to because you are the pizza Nazi. If you were good at business and wanted to build loyalty (you have no idea we all know that), or a man and not the pizza Nazi, you would say, hay man, come here during this time and I can do it as we are slow during this time, it's our off-peak hrs. I can most likely do then for you, that's how you build business and customers. immy V.Business Owner That is not bad customer service it's good business. When we are able to swing it we do but inevitably Brian complains that it's to greasy and he wants another one and he wants it for free. YOU ARE A FILITHY LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fried calzone is the best thing I had to eat and would make a lot of peoples list too, and may even put you on TV. I never once asked for anything for FREE, STOP with this LIE YOU LIAR!!! immy V.Business I am unable to post a picture of your receipt so I will be creating a post above that will show you were in fact only charged for extra cheese not triple I also will post pictures of the triple cheese on the crust and why it's not possible. Ok, so if that is true I apologize for saying you charged triple cheese (LMAO), we pointed out my wife picked up a Sicilian crust for $15.00, we put a mountain of cheese on it and came out perfectly, there is absolutely no reason why you can't do this other than you don't want too, you so are the pizza Nazi from he!!. We won't go back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have proved you're a filthy liar !!!!

Went there for the very first time because my little one wanted pizza and this was right across the mall. Everything about this spot was great. From the food to the service to the location itself.

Used to go to this business in its last two locations. First time here ordering a whole pie for takeout. Got a large square Sicilian pizza. Lots of crust, little cheese and sauce. Disappointing.

Jim and his whole staff are absolutely wonderful!! I feel like I am in New York again!! It is absolutely amazing and delicious!!!

Great Greek salad, pizza and calzones. Family friendly environment and good service. The homemade Greek salad dressing is delicious and I like the Papous salad with Juliane cheese, mozzarella, feta and olives.

I was in Alpharetta on a business trip. After a long day of training others at my company's local office, I was starving. I was in the mood for some good Pizza and I was given a recommendation from some people at work to try out Mama's Pizza. I gave it a shot and did not regret it. I ordered a pepperoni pizza, and sat back in my hotel room and watched tv. The pizza tasted well, definitely worth the price. If your in the area, give this place a try.

Was looking for a local pizza joint that was not a chain. After seeing several reviews we stopped in on a Saturday night for pizza. We got the Sicilian crust with all the meats. It was so light and delicious. Super friendly staff and great service. We will definitely be back.

I LOVE THEIR PIZZA! Their lunch deal is a steal as well :) it reminds me of the pizza shops up north and this is the only restaurant I'd go to for New York inspired pizza!

First and last visit here. Food was amazing, let me say that first. The pizza was really good. But the service was terrible lol. The waiters are not nice. They are snappy and they rush you. You can barely say thank you or ask them for something before they're already gone. The lady interacted with briefly repeated the question I asked her back to me twice with the ugliest frown on her face. Overall, the environment wasn't welcoming. And because of that, it doesn't matter how good the food is.

I loved the atmosphere and the service the pizza was just okay, not a ton of flavor but it might have just been the pizza we ordered. I will give it a shot another time, maybe just getting a slice.

Very good ny style thin pizza. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. I will repeat when in the area.

This is our go-to place for pizza. We love it! They get the order correct which is a great peace of mind and it's always consistent in flavor.

Jimmys reply is too funny in its entirety!! He's out of control ! Non of what jimmy said is true , give us what we paid for , simple!! Even Jimmy's employees says Jimmy is eccentric.. I'm not Brian, and we know you're a liar !! No one returned anything , pure lies !!!!!!!!! Too funny I think Jimmy is like the soup Nazi ( remember Seinfeld ) , but in the case he is the pizza Nazi. He only wants to give you pizza his way and anything different the unwelcoming attitudes and insults fly relentlessly. I bought Sicilian pizza dough for like $15. It was five dollars less because he didn't put cheese on it, pizza dough only $15.00 too funny. I took it home and made it so cheesy , and it was so good !!! However , according to jimmy and his staff we can't get it the way we want because of the crust and it can't be made the way we request it,, but I can at home ? If it can't be made why charge for it, go figure! We go there maybe 6 times a year and his staff is never friendly, and always rude with a major attitude! I seen the post my husband made and jimmy's onslaught attack claiming he is the top five most difficult customer, as infrequent as we are, how is this possible? Because he doesn't want to serve the customer ! The fired calzone , what's the issues seriously ? Takes too much time ? More lousy customer service is all and refusal to service the client ! See a trend ? I told my husband I never want to go back before the last incident we had , he said let's go because the kids like it. If it is seriously hard to service customers , treat people with respect then close shop ! I never did anything and you always treated me like trash. Your thin crust is so so at best, there is so much better out there, like pizza man in Norcross, who knows customer service and pizza !!! Your Sicilian is the best in town I agree that , but worst customer experience I agree that . What is the issue with pre ordering and eating at the restaurant? Forget that too , they don't allow it ! No one ever asked for free food, or even tried to get it , nor did we even ask for it . Imagine this , all we want is what we pay for , nothing more , nothing less !!! Don't worry we won't be back, ever !!!!!!! No customer for you, next !!!! I'm sure jimmy will attack me too, not hard to make people feel welcome, and provide outstanding customer service , what a lost art at this establishment!!!!

Was in the Alpharetta area today 2/23/2022. We were initially thinking about steak and burgers. But we came across Mama's Pizza in passing. Decided to double back to give it a try. It's nestled in a small shopping promenade. The restaurant is not too big, but spacious just enough. They had a good selection of pizzas and other items on their menu. I liked they offer lunch specials. I haven't been eating much of late so this was perfect. I ordered 1 of the specials with 1 topping + salad + drink. I chose the Greek salad. $8.39 + tax. But of course I'm special so I added onions and green peppers to my slice. I chose the Greek salad. It was a nice lunch portion. I ate only 1/2. The vinaigrette is light and not over powering. But the olives..ooowweee...strong and not for the faint. You have to be an olive lover-- which I'm not. My lunch date ordered the 2 slices of 1 topping + drink. Our 1-topping was pepperoni! (Singing peperooonii) Appetizer: Mozzarella Cheese wedges (6). These were hot and cheesy! Served with marinara. Yeah yeah! Must order again. Ummm sorry we ate 2 wedges before I realized I hadn't taken picture (oops). Well neither of us was able to eat all of our meals. The pizzas were nice sized slice portions and good. I loved that they were thin and very little bread crust. I would definitely come back at some point if I'm on this side of town and wanted .

The pepperoni and sausage pizza, Hawaiian pizza, and garlic knots were amazing! Service was quick and server was friendly. Very laid back and relaxed ambience. Will be back again!

Hello, My name is Bonn Liang and I am a former chef for 'Seaworld of San Diego'. Living in New York City have taught me one thing about the big apple, I love New York style pizza!! It's thin, it's crispy, it's chewy on the inside. it's foldable that holds up well to toppings, it's the perfect meal for a late night hangover... and Mama's Pizza in Alpharetta, Georgia, is the quintessential New York style Pizza in the south. It's located at Northpoint Parkway, It's family owned since 1979, the atmosphere is light and cheery, there's an open kitchen with young waitering staff who are friendly and efficient and checks up on you to ensure you have a good experience. So if you have a hankering for authentic NY style pizza, with a crispy crust and a chewy crust, this will be your place.

Don't order the deep dish!! My wife mistakenly ordered their deep discharge and it was like eating a loaf of bread! Seriously not good at all!! However we have ordered many of their Reg crust pizzas and they are delightful! Their normal crust is the bomb... it is not thin but it is the PERFECT blend of CRISPY ON THE OUTSIDE while remaining SOFT AND CHEWY ON INSIDE. It's so good that even my kids eat their bones! (Bones are the back crusts of the slices... the all crust no toppings parts) The selection of toppings are wonderful and wide. When we got the meat pizza it also was not swimming in grease! The inside of this establishment is quaint, homey and inviting... while the staff is a delight. I recommend this one... just don't order the deep dish unless you are really just looking to get a high rise loaf of bread!

This is a real crowd pleaser and the pizza place I use when I have a large group to feed at the office. Everyone loves it even those from NYC and Chicago! I usually get take out for the office, but I've eaten inside a couple of times. Service was great! Parking has never been a problem here as the lot is large enough for the shopping center.

Not good. Ordered a margarita pizza. Apparently they put no sauce on it and I was supposed to know this. Even though the photos show sauce on it. When I called they said they only put sauce if you ask. Not happy at all. Has no flavor. Huge waste of money and time. Won't be coming back here again.

We have been going to Mama's since they were in the old Roswell strip mall next to the old Roswell Village Theater when the grandfather ran the place.Followed then to Milton parkway location and now NY North Point. Pizza is always served hot and fresh and prices and value are excellent. This is one of our top 2 pizza restaurants in JC/Alpharetta area.

Not encouraging staff to be masked. Very irresponsible. We left. They placed a sign at the front of the door discouraged others to not mask up My suggestion is to make Grandma and Grandpa's health top priority this holiday season and always.

We just tried this restaurant for the first time even though I've been wanting to try it for years. It was fantastic! The reviews are on point! We called in our order for a large "My Wife's Favorite" pizza for $21. It included tomatoes, spinach and feta cheese on top of a cheese pizza. It was soooo good. The large pizza had 8 large slices which was a perfect amount. This restaurant sells pizza by the slice and the ability to add toppings for an additional price. They have a Monday and Tuesday special which includes a large cheese pizza for $10.50. The pizza is thin and delicious. I look forward to coming back soon!

Most of the reviews were positive and I saw a customer eating pizza at my hotel which was why I ordered. The lady on the phone was nice and very helpful when it came to placing my order. When we got to the store the pizza was pretty much ready a very short wait. The pizza itself looked great, I couldn't wait to try some. The waitress did offer some Parmesan cheese so we had a good start. The slice's were a nice sized. When we got back to the room to eat the pizza it was very disappointing. It had nice size vegetables and cheese but still lacking flavor. The pizza was very bland. I thought it would have had more flavor but it didn't. The crust was a little hard to chew. One review mentioned the toppings falling off. That happened with me as well. I added some of the Parmesan to try to get more flavor but it didn't really help. The pizza was just ok and not a place that I will be returning.

Great vibe for lunch with speedy Togo options and space to sit and eat as well. Glad to have found this gem!

Food lacks FLAVOR everything is bland ! On top of that the owner worries more about to go orders than the customers that are already seated! Server was politely trying to take my order when the owner yells across the room to check for doordash or Uber orders likeee what sense does that make ??? Food needs some sort of seasoning ! Poor service ! Won't spend another dime here good thing it's not a franchiseee ! Needs to work on tending to customers better ! Server with dreadlocks was very rude and dry like why work somewhere with such an nastyyy attitude ! Do not waste your time at this place you will be better off at Pizza Hut or papa johns !! The white pizza cook is a total asshole miss when the dad ran this place !

This place is awesome!!! Definitely a place to go when in Alpharetta! Oh and to Yelp- who wouldn't let me leave a negative review to a restaurant in Las Vegas that mistreated my wife and I, because we didn't have our masks on right as we walked 7 feet to our table and shamed us publicly. I notice that you allowed a negative review to Mama's that involved masks??? But you refused mine despite that my review actually represented the unprofessional manner that I was treated. Quote from Yelp we relived your negative review because "it is more representative of the extraordinary circumstances we are experiencing than an everyday experience at the business." I guess that didn't apply to Mama's and a review that was critical of their mask policy...... which is their right as a business and didn't involve poor treatment of a customer. Very disappointing Yelp, I love you but I am disappointed.

I have nightmares every time I hear the name of this restaurant. My office loves to both go here and bring it as takeout. No amount of times can get me to like it. The lunch deals are good, but that's about it. The crust tastes like cardboard and the pizza itself is insanely greasy. Duh, all pizza is greasy, but this takes it to a new level. Service is decent even when it's packed. It's typically full of other office workers when we swing by, so it's not a rowdy crowd of people. Yeesh.

Just moved down from Chicago and trying different places out. Of course I'm partial to deep dish and Nancy's gets me close enough. But I do enjoy NY style from time to time and Mamas' was really good! My only wish was they had a family size but will definitely be back!

Big portions! I ordered the chicken parm and my daughter ordered a sausage pizza. The chicken parm was a little bland, but still filling. We had enough left over for a second meal. We also shared an order of garlic knots. We ordered to go and rhe round container contained about 10 nice-sized knots. Those were super-yummy!

I loved their pizza, I just ordered mines wrong. Be sure to ask for marinara when they ask how you want your pizza. I said tomatoes because I didn't understand lol. But the flavoring was awesome and speed of service.

Thank you, Mama's for whipping up a pie and allowing us to dine with only twenty minutes left in your long day---the day before Thanksgiving. These weary travelers appreciated the pizza, the beer, and the delayed closing!!!!!!

Always a great place to get pizza when you want a lazy dinner. Staff is great! Tuesday's are discount days too

If you are looking a NY Pizza place this is pretty close. The pizza is good and the staff are rude AF! Pretty much NY style to me.

Been going to Mama's for over 30 years back to their old location in Roswell Mall and saw the owner as a middle schooler working for his Dad. Don't want to say it even better since it was so good to begin with. They know the business and it is simply excellent. Great pizza, calzones, stromboli. Their Greek salads are as good as it gets. Love the Papous salad. A favorite for us.

Where do I begin???? Let's just start with they have a health score rating of A! Upon entering I was greeted with a warm "hello welcome to Mama's pizza" I only wanted a slice because it's hard to find a pizza place that makes pizza they way I like..... the way they make in Boston. I was pleasantly surprise to find they offer both Neapolitan and Sicilian slices, what more could a pizza lover ask for??? As you can see from my picture my plan was to take my slice to go, you can also see I took bite to taste before heading on my way. That first bite immediately exuded a sound of YES! This is the style of pizza I have been looking for, compliments to the chef! He appeared in the window to receive orders and I immediately gave him a thumbs up and he acknowledged with bow of the head. I asked my waitress the history and I learned Jimmy (the owner/chef) was running a second generation business that started in NY. He has been so successful that even his distributors were able to make a way to supply his business needs in Atlanta.... so literally NOTHING has changed with this business except the location. If you love pizza, Mama's Pizza is a must try!

Ordered takeout as we had family in town at a hotel nearby. The food was hot & delicious. Cheese calzone, meatball parm sub, lasagna and an order of garlic knots. Highly recommend. We will go back.

This pizza joint was a bit disappointing. The thin crust was soggy and very chewy. I've eaten from many NY style joints and this seemed a little overpriced for the quality of the pizza. The cheese on the pizza fell off quite easily. We also tried the mozzarella sticks, and these tasted baked and not very crispy. They also needed more salt. Will not be eating here again despite close proximity to where I live.

SUPER yummy! Looked and tasted great. Our office staff was super thankful for a good, fulfilling lunch! Thanks Mama's!

If you're in the neighborhood, stop in, and be treated to the best hot subs, lasagna, pasta, pizza, calzones and gelato.

Very average pizza. I had pizza in the restaurant several times (I'm hesitant to rate pizza places on delivery alone) and was never blown away. It was also the go-to place for delivery at my place of work. The pizza was OK but nothing at all to get excited about. Not too cheap either.

Let me preface this review by saying that I have known Jimmy and his father Pete since I first moved to Georgia through my mother. She would be proud that I am still supporting this family, because they really are good people with the knowledge of how to make clean, simple pizza-related foods. I have now visited Mama's at all three of the their locations, and this one is no different, minus the fact that the original location at Roswell Mall had arcade games that my brother and I used to play against now-owner Jimmy. Setting the wayback machine back to 1993, we used to eat at Mama's Pizza while waiting for a movie at the now defunct movie theater in Roswell Mall. Wow, how times have changed. Dining in during the current Virus has really put a damper on restaurants, so what better way to support Mama's then to show them some love. This was my first visit to the new location, which is just OK, but it gets the job done, and it puts you near Northpoint Mall and all of the associated businesses which is good for Jimmy and crew. I wasn't fond of the previous spot, but at least they were carrying on, right? Like I mentioned earlier, the food is simple but well done. Don't expect a life-changing experience beyond that of the carbohydrates that will nourish your movements later on in the day. The pizza is not a niche-type pie with crazy toppings, but rather a simple take of New York style along with fresh salads. Nothing here is bad, and nothing here is Michelin-rated, so take it as you will. I will gladly come back ASAP and support Jimmy and his family like I have been doing since I was a little kid.

If my family is ordering pizza then it's going to be from Mama's and no where else. We have been coming here for over 15 years. Jimmy makes the best thin crust pizza. Our go to is the ham or sausage. We also love the Papous salad...loads of cheese and ham!

This is honestly a hidden gem! I feel like Dave Portnoy should come here and do a pizza review! Personally I'm a fan of thin crust pizzas, and it's just too good!

This place is great. Visited for lunch on a Saturday. My bf and I drove by the area bc we originally wanted Mexican next door but it was closed for some reason so we ended up trying out this place. Their service is great and the place has plenty of seating. We ordered a slice of the meatball pizza, pep, mushroooms/blk olive pizza, and shared mozzarella triangles. The slices are huge - super filling. Food came fast and fresh so that was a plus since I was super starving. Their gelato selection looked really yummy too but I didn't get to try it this time, but def. next time!

Let me precurse this with the fact that we had ordered through Uber eats and haven't actually eaten at the restaurant. The food was good but it was nothing extraordinary. I ordered the chicken fingers which were OK and a little dry. My husband ordered the baked ziti which he said he enjoyed. We also ordered a Sicilian pizza. I'm not sure what we were expecting but it is basically the focaccia bread with mozzarella cheese on it. It is quite big and was decent but again nothing stood out about it. Overall there was nothing that was bad about this establishment but there was also nothing that was great either.

Great pizza! And truly different than many local establishments. I have had pizza in just about every state over my lifetime. This pizza is in my top 10 in the country!
