Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types.

Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations.

Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Good vegetarian pizza. Just has a home made heavy feel and rich taste to it which we like. This time my husband and I both ordered the chicken fried chicken dinner which was very good and my granddaughter had the cheese frenchee which she liked. Only 3 stars because Veal Parmesan is one of their "House Specialties". The treatment of baby cows used in veal is known to be worse than that of any other animal used for consumption. If not for this I would give them 4 stars.

Solid 3.5 Mama's Pizza definitely has a small town, family run vibe. A real 'pizza joint'. It reminds me of the local pizza place in my hometown when I was growing up. Wide open with tables big and small, a bar, and kids running up to their parents asking for money to go play games. Their pizza is good, and I will say consistent. The crust is a little thicker than my favorite NY style, but still tasty. I pretty much always get the pizza only, with an occasional appetizer, which are standard fare, no real stand outs. Overall a better alternative to the chain pizza places.

I love their pizza. However, they definitely need to train their employees on some issues. I went in to eat tonight and got my delicious pizza. I went to the counter to get some red pepper, and noticed a young man with curly hair blowing/picking his nose very aggressively with tissue. Then someone came up to the counter for a plastic cup lid, and he went back to work handling the cups, lids, and getting people drink refills, all without washing his hands. First of all, he shouldn't be doing that in view of any customers at all, and he DEFINITELY needs to wash his hands after that. He seemed to be a very nice guy when he came to clear our plates, but friendliness isn't the issue, its cleanliness. I was very disgusted by this. I still love their pizza and will go back, but probably to a different location,

I ordered carry out on my way home from work. It was a medium pie with green peppers, mushrooms, and pepperoni. The entire pizza was not very good; I could identify that the crust was bland and doughy, the sauce had no flavor, and the mushrooms were canned. AND it was $17 for this pie!! I could go to any of the "Big 3" pizza joints and get a better pie!! I won't be back.
(1)Joel M.
Terrible pizza, flavorless had better frozen pizzas. Went cause all of yelps reviews. Sorry to offend, just being honest. Sports bar? Pizzeria? Please grasp an identity.
(1)Zachary M.
I was timid to try Mama's Pizza despite how many good things I have heard about it. I did, however, bite the bullet and try it and it was quite yummy! Nothing fancy on the inside. In fact it almost borders on a sports bar feel. It's been around for ages so that does say something. It's worth a try. They have many different specialty pizzas too.
(3)Roy G.
Tried Mama's pizza for the first time last night on the recommendation of my girlfriend who grew up eating this pizza. We got it to go so I can not comment like most about the many kids running around. It was actually fairly calm when we stopped to get the pizza. We ordered a medium combination and my first impression was that it was too pricey as I was told it was $19. That was until I saw the pizza. The medium was as big as most places large and was packed with toppings. I do believe the sauce could use to be kicked up a little more with spices and a little more used but the rest of the ingredients were fresh and flavorful and as mentioned piled high. When I first smelled and saw the pizza it brought back memories of the way Godfathers pizza use to be long ago. Out side of the sauce, the taste lived up to that as well. It is not the best pizza I have ever eaten but it is probably now my favorite here in Omaha and I look forward to trying some of there other pizzas and from the sound of it their house garlic sauce.
(4)Mackenzie B.
Mama's pizza is amazing. Their house dressing goes good on just about anything, from their onion rings, to salads, to their pizzas. It's my favorite!
(5)John L.
Good eats if you like to eat your pizza with a fork and knife.
(3)Kim J.
Another Omaha tradition. This place is a great family place. They recently renovated so it is alot nicer inside. Lots of kids, lots of noise, good pizza, great onion rings. There's also a game room with video games and pin ball to send the kids off to. Again, another place that is vastly improved without all the smoke.

Ok. So after finding the digital jukebox, which, let me tell you, there's no nearing the old neon' with Waylon and Dio on them... I was always the kid who markered out Genesis, or however you spell that lame-assed bollock ridden band of p[{{}^^*s. So I found a new use for torturing a room full of Midwestern Husker-Sweatered couch potatoes... Bitches Brew. For the uninitiated, Miles Davis' Bitches Brew is the closest thing you can... Sorry, Miles Davis is a Be-Bop era trumpeter, who helped change the way jazz music was played, nay, changed music in general. Bitches Brew, my beeotches, is the album that physically embodies that change. BWEEEE-OOP, BAGH -BAUH --BAUGH. Really how do you spell chaos in music? OK, here. I'll ascribe it to food. (true story) Say you have a bowl of ravioli, right? You take some of that ravioli, put it on a plate and it begins to turn into snakes. Those writhing, pillow shaped snake-pasta-raviolis flout colors of purple-green red, silver and diamond-yellow. Not-knowing what to do, you take these hued serpents out from the kitchen and blithely set them down in front of your parents. You then leave and watch through the window as your parents begin to eat these pockets writhing, oily sheen. And as they bite into them, the fluid inside, milky and pasty like android blood begins to eat the flesh of your parents' mouths, leaking out over their former cheeks as they chew. This action continues until the pasta skin is gone and only the fluid mixture of milk and your parents' body remains, and yet the feast continues. Your folks slop and slurp recycling, for hours, the zesty mixture. After a long, long time your folks get up. You, fearfully go out to meet them, these melted former humans, and the being that once was your Poppy, gurgles out something like "BWEEEE-OOP, BAGH -BAUH --BAUGhhh" Which perhaps could be, Tasted good, son. a little weird...too much oregano... This is probably the best way for me to describe Bitches Brew...a never-ending meal of sulfuric acid snake-ravioli. SO imagine my delight to find this record on the digital jukebox. and the fact that there were two tracks meant that my two dollars a track lasted close to an hour. The pizza I would describe as being pretty good. But after having a couple of teeth knocked wobbly by a couple of those Husker-Dads not at all pleased by Miles' fancy feast, the taste of pepperoni and blood does not mix well. But from what I remember, I had the combo. The crust was crunchy on the outside, yet fluffy and spongy on the inside. This crust, though not enough to be an ends to itsself, was perfect as a holder for the main pie and as a nice after bite, when the palate was gone. The ingredients of the combo seemed like, you know. like f!@#ing pizza! One of the reviewers of the joint said that there was lots of cheese, "drowning in cheese", i think was the phrase. But no, this is not the case. Enough cheese, yes. Drowning, no. *note* to 'cheese drowner'...I (censored) Knoooow it was a compliment. ' ' ' ' In the all and all I thought Mama's was my kind of joint. the kids can be a bit much, but there are ways to, with the jukebox, change the environment to suit your own needs. You just may make some friends there. Most of the time when boys get in a fight, they make fast buddies and this was no different. Let me reassure you though, Those Husker boys won't be picking any fights for a long time. Just make sure when you select Bitches Brew, make sure you leave either with someone or make sure you aren't getting an evil eye. Pleasure to serve, Dirty Shame -one-

I have been coming here for more than a decade. It had been a few years since I was in the area but was disappointed to see the changes. It was a pizzeria/sports bar with plenty of separation if wanted. That is not so much the case now. The ingredients have been downgraded to save on cost. That is seen so much with smaller outfits. I know they have another location that my brother seems to enjoy. I may give that a shot but I will have to count this one out. If your in the mood for pizza please stop by. It is better than the fast pizza/food franchises at least.

Gosh I want to give this place 4 stars so bad....but the service makes me rate it a 2 star. We went here and ordered take out, a pizza-- nothing fancy just a meatlovers. Then we waited, and waited, and waited....asked the window if they called our name. Nope not yet (it had been 30 min)....then about 30-40 minutes later we went up to the pick up window again...and yes, apparently it had been ready for 25+ min now. It was cold :( We were sitting only 2 tables away from the pick up window. They said they called our name? Goodness, if someone just approached you about the pizza not 10min before it was ready, why would you think we'd just let our food sit there for 25 min? When we were waiting in the resturant...it wasn't a call in order, and was already paid for. Sigh....sadly that was my first experience. Another time we tried and it was a better experience, mainly because we went up to the carry out window almost every 5 minutes to make sure we actually had our pizza to us when it was done cooking/ready to be picked up. Get a better system to announce pizza pick up please!! One shout at the window (which really they supposedly just say your name loudly and only once) isn't sufficent. :/ On the food now: I had the garlic chicken Alfredo pizza, and we got a to-go family salad. The family salad is great! It has ham, cheese, and veggies-- way more than I was expecting for a to go generic salad. The pizza was great, the rest of their selections look delishious as well-- I will be back to try their BBQ chicken pizza ....hovering around the pick up window like a maniac so I actually get my food and don't wait for over a hour.
(2)Dr Frank F.
For me, this is the best pizza place in town. We always get a large pizza to go, and eat it at home. Fantastic stuff. We've been getting their pizza for years, and will continue to do so.
(5)Link A.
Hmm.... was a bit leery to stop in after reading the reviews about small kids running around the place... and sure enough, lots of small kids causing a ruckus. Thankfully we found a table away from the arcade. We had the BBQ chicken pizza and we just had to try the onion rings. I'm a bit of an onion ring connoisseur and the onion rings were nicely cooked. Although, I could give this place 5 stars simply on the house ranch alone. Unlike anything I've ever had and the ranch made for a nice dipping sauce for the pizza crusts. Was able to see some of the other patron's pizza's and they all looked piping hot and delicious. What seperates this place apart from other pizza joints is the dough. It wasn't oily or greasy and it was simply there to hold the amazing toppings together. I thoroughly enjoyed our pizza and our experience there and will be back for sure. There are so many other pizzas that I would like to try and based on what I've seen, tasted, and smelled... they will deliver the goods once again. Summary: Mama's Pizza is a must-try in Omaha.
(4)Luke V.
One of my favorite pizza places in Omaha! I have never had a bad meal here. The pizza is filling and very good! The sausage trio pizza is my favorite along with their onion rings.
(5)Chunk G.
I hadn't had this pizza for at least a decade. My dad used to buy it all the time when I was a kid and I loved it. Today I realized I still do. I also realized that this juuuust might be the pizza that I've always judged pizza by. It's 4 star pizza, but I think nostalgia took over to 5 stars for me. Thick, hearty, yummy goodness.
(5)Mary Ann S.
Their Chicken fried chicken is absolutely delicious and so is their wings, the pizza is okay not my favorite. I give three stars for the wait time is quite long but, they do make the food fresh and hot. i love that they have an arcade so when ii come here with my sister her kids can play while we enjoy the grown up time.
(3)Tomas D.
Pretty delicious pizza, but not necessarily out of this world. Would definitely buy again, though!
(4)Royal B.
Cleanliness 4 Service 4 Food 4 Likelihood 5 1-5 (5 Best!) 4.3 Clean restrooms, thank you! Friendly staff, thank you! Hot fresh food, thank you! I have been, am now, and hope to be for a long time a big cheerleader for MaMa's pizza. I've only been to this location, so I can't speak for others. Hot fresh, tasty food that is made from scratch. It is a local favorite. GREAT JOB!
(4)Marc D.
Classic omaha staple. How do you go wrong here. Love the toppings love the crust. Pizza has been the same for what feels like 30 years!!!
(4)Lauren G.
This place never disappoints. If you have a problem with cheese/dairy don't come here for pizza (sorry my lactose interact friends) they use loads of hamburger and cheese which make such a great combo. Salads are pretty good too. Raviolis are small cute and good. My extended family and I always go there for gatherings and it's just a fun little place to go! The little arcade is great for the little ones. Idk why but the atmosphere is like none other. The togo there is nice food always hot when I get home but make sure you get all your food before you leave. Almost forgot my salad! Great place for a little pizza and fun! I TOTALLY FORGOT TO ADD THEY HAVE BEST RANCH. I literally love ranch and so when I go to places I always pay attention to that. My brother practically licks it out of the container lol go ranch!
(4)Connie S.
Locally owned. Friendly and casual. Very popular. The BEST onion rings. It must be the pizza ovens and the crust recipe that make this pizza so darn good!
(4)Will S.
It's put me in many a food coma, but the Mama's Special is indeed special (one of those meat below the cheese pizza deals). Other favorites include the margherita and BBQ chicken pizzas. The sides are hit and miss. Bland garlic bread, wimpy iceberg-heavy house salads but STELLAR onion rings - perhaps the best in town. Another thing that makes Mama's memorable is its neighborhood-centric atmosphere. It's the type of place people go to their entire lives to throw a birthday party or watch a game on one of the many, many giant TVs. Warning: Large pies come in square slices. Yes, we're in the Midwest.
(4)Kyle T.
It's fine for what it is. I wouldn't go out of my way for their pizza, but it's 1,000 times better than Godfather's. I realize that's not saying much. People that grew up here have a fondness for Mama's, which I understand.
(2)Zachary S.
My wife and I are back in town for 2 weeks and I'm slightly embarrassed to say we went to Mama's three times. My wife's Gpa wanted pizza... so we went to Mama's midtown. My wife had a group of friends to meet.... Mama's West. Family didn't want to cook the night before Thankgiving.... Mama's again. Each time the pizza was perfect and as good as I remember.
(5)Toni L.
Part two of my food pilgrimage through Nebraska. Food: I realize I made a mistake by not trying the titular item (pizza), but I was too tempted by the cheese frenchee ( yelp.com/biz_photos/mama… ). I did not know this was a thing before coming here, but apparently it's a deep fried grilled cheese sandwich that you usually can only get in Nebraskan restaurants. I'm not used to eating entire entrees that principally consist of cheese, bread, and deep fried exteriors, so I had a nagging concern that it would gross me out. Turns out that I pretty much inhaled this thing. The cheese was perfectly melty and the fried bits fantastically crunchy. I find myself craving it from time to time. The dish also came with what appeared to be Ruffles and limp pickle slices. Not terribly impressive. Atmosphere: Ok, I need to be honest. It was pretty creepy in here. I know that they function as a bar, but the lighting was too low at 2 PM in the afternoon for me to feel comfortable. The cheery exterior and bubbly font on the exterior does not reflect what you'll find inside ( yelp.com/biz_photos/mama… ). Service: The woman behind the register was super nice even though we changed our minds multiple times. Synopsis: I'd definitely do the cheese frenchee again even though I'd have to run a couple miles to burn it off.
(3)R M.
Overall, I think the pizza is average. But there is something about the place I like. There is nothing special in the decor and the parking is cramped. I think the atmosphere and the fact that there is little contact with workers is what makes it enjoyable. I will keep going back, but it has never been because I was craving the pizza.
(3)Melissa M.
Mama's had been a family staple since I was a small child. Since I was a small child I have disliked this restaurant. It surprises me that there additional locations being built. The food is bland. The pizza is often soggy and the sauce has a sweet flavor. I have tried multiple things on the menu and have yet to find an item that I'm satisfied that I paid for. Despite my dislike for this restaurant my family will continue to have birthday gatherings there. Mama's has a great atmosphere.
(2)Jodi E.
First time for me tonight at Mama's at the Saddle Creek location. I agree with the other reviews, there were kids EVERYWHERE and the place was packed! With that being said though, the pizza was HOT, crisp, and loaded with cheese. Beer was ice cold! Will definitely have pizza from Mama's again when in the area.
(4)Matt M.
Always great. Pizza is very good (especially the Reuben) and the onion rings are the best in town. Love the place - plus they are always willing to change any tv to what you want. Great food - Great people
(5)Christine B.
I know people who love, love, LOVE Mama's Pizza. I definitely don't hate it. If you like loads of meat toppings on your pizza, this place is a must for you. They do a nice job with the pizzas (crust is thin enough and not soggy). The pizzas are layered so it's crust, sauce, toppings then cheese...the cheese holds all of the goods inside, which works well since they can be pretty generous with toppings. It's the kind of place you go with a large group (or the entire fam) and the kids get to run around while you hang with the other adults, drinking a beer while waiting for your food to cook up. It's order at the counter and pick up at the counter, adding to the uber-casual feel of the place. Even though I'm not a fan of the children running amuck or the vast loads of meat on my pizza, I'm giving Mama's four stars for the onion rings with the garlic "house" dipping sauce. Ridiculous. Yes. But seriously...they're that good.
(4)Ben K.
Pros: Unique, but good, pizza Cons: Chaotic place to eat at Mama's Pizza is like Chuck E. Cheese's without Chuck and with better pizza. Eating here is kind of a chore because there are kids everywhere running around, screaming, playing games, etc. I don't like my dining experiences to remind me of Romper Room, so if I want Mama's I typically get it to go or eat at a later hour. Another big negative was how smoky this place used to be. Anytime I ever ate here I felt my lungs collapsing by all the smoke. The public smoking ban has made this place a lot more tolerable to eat at, but the huge game room that attracts tons of kids still makes it a bit of a chore to eat at. For local pizza joints, not a bad place, better than Big Fred's, not as good as La Casa's.
(3)Sarah G.
I used to love going to Mama's pizza after soccer or basketball or whatever games when we were kids. But now that my perspective has changed a little I've only been once in the past 10 years. Dining in - as some others have mentioned - is a bit of a chore. When you're a kid it's fun, but when you're an adult it's almost too much work. Call me lazy, but when I go out I want to limit the amount of time I have to get up and 'help myself' as much as possible. Also, the pizza isn't exactly my cup of tea. But lots of people like it... and I won't deny that it ranks right up there with 'Omaha's favorite pizza spots'. Personally I prefer to spend my time and money elsewhere. Overall Mama's is a good spot for a group in a VERY casual setting (like after you've been out playing golf in 100% humidity all day, for example).
(3)Stephen M.
Fantastic. Love the atmosphere and the combo pizza. Great for families and singles. Not a big tv fan at restaurants, but it's adds to the atmosphere here.
(5)Todd G.
I've always loved Mama's Pizza so I thought I'd make the kids and wife take me there for Father's day. We managed to get a parking spot right up front and found the last 4 top immediately. There were a number of large tables reserved for parties. While the service isn't rude, it isn't overly friendly, either. We ordered the four cheese, half pepperoni, half Mama's combo pizzas and a ravoili appetizer. All were served piping hot and just the way I remember it. I would give it the highest rating if there was even the remotest hint of a smile from anyone working there.
(4)Chris E.
Went there for a friend's daughter's birthday prior to the Creighton game. The pizza was Ok and the company wonderful but the atmosphere was downright horrible. Crowded, dirty, noisy and, in my opinion, unsafe. Table and chairs everywhere ... exits poorly marked and blocked by tables and chairs...thank God there wasn't a fire. The bathrooms were terrible. Now, if you want a "fun" party for little kids...Mama's is the place for you. If you want a quiet dining experience .... DON'T GO.
(2)Tanya P.
If you're looking for a place to drop your kids to play at the arcade while you drink beer with your friends with kids this might be for you...otherwise find another pizza place. The place is self serve meaning that you place the order at a window, get a buzzer, then go get the order when it's ready. I've had much better pizza at worse looking places than this. We got the meat pizza and friends got the margherita pizza. Both were just okay in my opinion. There were a ton of toppings on the meat pizza and they allowed us to swap out the Canadian bacon for regular bacon, which was nice. The crust usually makes or breaks a pizza for me and this one was lacking flavor and barely there. But that could be because it was covered by the massive toppings. The place is kind of dark and dingy and had it not been for someone inviting us here I doubt I would have picked it on my own. I'd rather take kids to Dave and Busters where they at least can get something after hours of play...this place left them with a gumball and them wanting a new iPod and camera that was clearly unobtainable in the arcade game they were playing.The beer was pretty cheap at $7 a pitcher. I'm not a fan but like I said if you need a place to hang with other parents while the kids play this place might be for you. Just make sure to bring plenty of quarters to keep the kids busy.
(2)Bee R.
I've decided. This is my favorite pizza in town. I'm not saying it's the best pizza I've ever had but for the consistency, the chill family friendly atmosphere, and the price, I can't find any other place that beats Mama's Midtown. The pizza always comes piping hot (I mean it), they have a decent beer selection, and I like their creamy garlic Parmesan house salad dressing. As it's self serve - you order at the bar, pick up your own apps and pie, fetch your own plates and silverware - some people might be turned off for the lack of service. It's just the norm for us now and we've got our routine down: hubby snags a table while I order and grab drinks then switch while he goes to get plates and I send the kids to the game room. The pizza is usually up quickly, we eat, and we're on our way home with nary a worry. I guess if you're not a mom, you might not appreciate it but going out to eat with little ones can be a hassle. Pizza is easy, everyone likes it, and Mama's puts out a good pie. If you can beat it, let me know!
(5)Matt M.
A very, very delicious meat lovers pizza! Did pick up here. The bar is small but inviting. You have to pay at the bar, go to the pick up window, and wait there. The tables are pretty basic for a pizza place. They havve a small arcade (neo-geo included). Ingredients and crust were all fresh and delicious. The crust was the most original, its soft and unique.
(4)Zachary Sam Z.
I have never had pizza that was drowning in cheese like it is at Mama's. It's so delicious. Best to grab a pie and take it home - as Ryan mentioned, there are always tons of kids running around at the restaurant itself. So. F'ing. Good.
(4)Anastasia B.
There are many great pizza places in omaha. It just depends what you are looking for. This is a different category of pizza than say Zio's or Pizza Shoppe. There is nothing funky about this place. No crazy pizza toppings, just good greasy pizza. As far as restaurant atmosphere, there is none. Just a room filled with banquet tables and a couple of TV's on the wall. So if you are looking for a no-nonsense place that serves yummy pizza, this is it!
(4)Mark J.
Best pizza in Omaha. It's a local favorite! Every time I'm in Omaha I can't wait to get back to Mama's!
(5)Brenna P.
Mama's is a great after-game place. Their pizza is pretty good, although I dislike the vegetarian pizza, and I will typically just get one with the toppings I like. Salads are pretty lack-luster, but drinks are reasonably priced. Mama's also has a fast take-out option, and its seating is large enough to accomodate groups of people (i.e. sports teams and the like).
(3)Jack H.
An Omaha tradition, with the best onion rings in the metropolitan area! I love their Veggie Pizza, hold the mushrooms please. Also, I recommend that you tell them to bake it "well done". Mama's has a great selection of beers, in bottles and on tap. The place has a warm atmosphere. This really is the best pizza in the entire metropolitan area. It is man food. Order a large Mama's combo, eat as much as you can with a Boulevard ale, then take the rest of the pizza home for breakfast the next day. My wife likes the Western salad with the homemade cream-of-garlic dressing. There are a lot of critters crawling around on the carpet, so order a pitcher of beer and ask the manager to turn up the volume on the football game. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.
(5)David F.
Gosh i love this pizza! Not a small pizza at all! One large hamburger pizza could feed a family of four! They are very generous on the toppings also. I enjoyed the atmosphere here also. Not a bad place to eat. I would def. eat here again!
(4)Ryan t.
The pizza at Mama's is probably among the best in Omaha. The downside is that you apparently have to have 11 kids to eat here. I would recommend you attend a later dinner seating, if you're going here to eat, unless you want to eat dinner with 100 kids under the age of 5. This place is great for kids and families and you will notice it the minute you enter the parking lot and can't find a space because of all the minivans.
(4)Stephen A.
The atmosphere and lackluster service is not why you go. The postcard sized parking lot is not why. The reason--this pizza is tasty goodness. The basic pies are excellent. I must admit I was a little disappointed with the BBQ chicken pizza, at least as compared with Califronia Pizza Kitchen, but I did manage to eat my portion with no small enjoyment. The all meat pizza has so much red meat it could make a cardiologist quiver. A serious contender for best pizza in Omaha.
(4)Jeffrey S.
If you're a fan of macaroni and cheese, you really have to try the homemade version here. It's a very ample portion of tasty mac & cheese. It beats Kraft all to hell. I also really enjoy the pizza. If you're in the mood to be waited on and pampered, this isn't really the locale to which you should go. On the other hand, if you don't care about getting off your butt and serving yourself to some hearty food, you'll have few complaints with Mama's.
(4)Dino O.
Excellent homemade style pizza. I always order the large combo. The pizza is thick crust piled high with toppings. Leftovers are just as good as the first time. Great, if not Omaha's best. Over the last year or so they have remodeled and the place looks great. Staff is always friendly. This food is made by people that love food. You can tell. Their pizza makes my soul happy. Good investment for $15.
(5)Anthony K.
As others have mentioned, the pizza here is really good, but there are a few reasons that take-out is the way to go versus dine-in. First, it is a bit of a mad house, as evidenced by the fact that the walls are covered in carpet to limit their liability when out of control kids ram into them. This pizza is covered in cheese (made by throwing slices on top instead of shredded), which traps in the nuclear heat so if you try to eat it immediately out of the oven, the roof of your mouth will be out of commission for a week. Next, their beer selection is just okay and a bit overpriced. Also, the shady Blockbuster is next door so you can pick up a flick to watch while dining. Finally, Mama's leftovers are better cold than any other pizza I've had. So get extra and throw it in the fridge for the next day, you'll be glad you did.

I have to admit, after living in Chicago, and having pizza from everywhere from NY to Italy, Neoplolitan to St. Louis, I have to say that pizza in Omaha sucks. That said there are a few places in Omaha that have decent pizza and this is one of them. I also enjoy Zio's and Sgt. Peffer's. That's about it.

I would rate the pizza as ok... The crust is pretty plain jane but they do load up the toppings. If your thinking of getting a bigger size of pie because your worried if it will be enough, don't. I do have to say it was awkward the first time since they don't have a wait staff. You have to get your own menu, seat yourself and then order at the bar. Then when it is ready some guy who can barely pronounce numbers of course... calls your number and you have to pick it up. I will definately go back there but I wouldn't say it's the best in town. Two of us spent about $25+ for a pizza, breaded ravioli and a couple of cans of soda. Yes I said cans of soda. Oh and don't plan on finding a parking spot in the front... Easier just to come in from the back to find a spot....

This is a great place for certain purposes, such as feeding a group of screaming kids under the age of 10. The pizza is a style that many find to be a favorite. I like it ok. Prices are on the high end for pizza without any ambiance or dining comfort. It does one thing really well. It feeds lots of families in a care-free environment. I live pretty close so I go once a month or so. I avoid summer post-baseball evenings. So should you.

Great homemade pizza. The owners have really renovated in the last several years. The place is a historic landmark but very well update. I call in usually my order and get a large Combo for carry out. Man is it big, heavy, and good.

I really like Mama's pizza, although the observation about having to have a herd of children to get in is unfortunately correct. That makes takeout a good plan here, except then you don't get to have the AWESOME Onion Rings, because they just aren't as good out of styrofoam. We've never really had any bad pizza from here, so I'd say to give it a try sometime.

Heard the onion rings were awesome and I have to agree! Light, crispy, and lots of onion--and the only reason I rated it a 3 instead of a 2. After so many raves about the pizza, I was expecting better. Lots of toppings and cheese, but the sauce was lacking. I didn't think it was all that special.

Went to Mama's for the fist time yesterday. Ordered a Reuben Pizza and All Meat Pizza. Not enough topping on the Reuben. The crust was too thick. All Meat Pizza had lots of topping but not enough sauce. Not the cheapest pizza's in town. I must say that Sgt. Peffers and Zios is tastier.
