Mama's Famous Pizza & Heroes

Pizza was basically tasty,but could have had more cheese. Also, while delivery time was accurate, it was still an hour and fifteen minutes. Salads were very good and we appreciated the extra toppings! But, there are better options. more

quick friendly service more

It was our first time experience with Mama's and it was delicious. We will definitely order again! more

awesome food, on time delivery! more

The food was really good - I got appetizers and my husband got a pizza. The fried ravioli was very creamy inside and perfectly crispy on the inside. Husband's pizza smelled fantastic - and he made no complaints - which means he must have really liked it. more

Of all the pizzerias in Tucson, this is my favorite -- I love the meatball pizza best! The inside dining is fun -- has a ""color"" fountain in the middle. The music takes you into a Classic New York Parlor to eat your pizza pie! Order and pay at the counter, they will call you when your order is ready. Seriously the best pizza in Tucson. more

Of all the pizzerias in Tucson, this one is the cleanest, roomiest, family oriented place. The music is a little loud. The crust a little too thin. The method of yelling on a speaker? Stupid. Pay a kid to run to the table and tell them the order is ready at the counter. Again, for pizza, overpriced. Unless you are ordering meat, it's not meat. It's cheese, sauce, and bread. In this economy, the cost of going out for PIZZA! should not be considered a fancy restaurant dining out experience. Here, it is. I have no idea what they are doing charging for refills, that went out in 1985. For subfar food, you are better going to Dominos at the door. Wish I could say great, but can't. more

The atmosphere is very comfortable and clean. The food was absolutely gorgeous and delicious. The servings were huge and the price was affordable. The waitresses were very nice and very helpful. We liked it! Pros: Excellent Atmosphere Cons: Small Menu more

The food is amazing....I've been going to the Magee location for 15+ years now and I always get amazing service and food. The pizza is fresh and so wait times are acceptable! Pros: large pizzas, great toppings Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

Awesome! Pizza and wings were great!!! more

We used to love Mamas, they have always been our staple for pizzas, perhaps for the last 20 years! Im sad to say they have changed for the worse.. There are some great places popping up in town, Zonas in tucson, Angelinas in oro valley and surely more to come. Sorry mamas, i know of at least two others taking your reign! Pros: several locations Cons: poor pizza, SLOW service, terrible ambiance more

This review is for the East location at Houghton and Broadway. Pros: The wings were hot. Cons: The pizza was undercooked, cold, and took an hour! more

KOVA 4 CoachRoach investigation made me sick. I will never eat there again. SHAME ON MAMMA'S PIZZA Pros: They got caught Cons: Dirty more

Arriving for a hopefully early dinner (5PM on a weekend), my friend and I were greeted by, . . .well, by no-one. The area by the cash register was vacant, the restaurant had at most 4 or 5 patrons, tables were piled with the remnants of past diners, but there was a pizza-twirler visible in the glass enclosed kitchen, so we knew that Mama's was open for business. After five or so minutes, spent examining the short menu repeatedly and looking pleadingly at the pizza twirler, an order taker appeared, reeking of cigarette smoke. Listening to our request for pizza, his response was that pizza orders would take at least 45 minutes, and did we really want to order pizza? Well, yes, we did, so we ordered a small pizza and a salad to pass the time. This did seem curious, given the lack of customers, and the fact that this was supposed to be a pizza restaurant, but it was our first visit, and our thinking was that perhaps the pizza was made with such care and expertise that it would be worth the wait. After 40 minutes, we noticed that other people who came after us, seemed to be getting pizza, so we inquired as to the status of ours. Oh, we gave that pizza out some time ago, someone else must have taken it. Well, given that my name had not been called, this seem unlikely, and it was more likely that our pizza had simply been overlooked. So we settled in for another long wait for the replacement pizza, beginning to regret our decision to have an early dinner, since by now it's nearly 6. Fortunately the second pizza did arrive, and in only 30 minutes. Unfortunately, though it was very hot and fresh, it was totally unexceptional in any way, nearly flavorless sauce, tasteless crust, and not a pizza that we would have returned for, even had it been delivered in a reasonable time. No, we will not return. Pros: excellent parking Cons: the service and the food more

I keep ordering from them because I like supporting local business over chains, and, when they do it right, their pizza is pretty great. I will never order from them again, though, because 5 out of 7 times, the pizza arrives totally cold and looking like it was cooked hours ago. Moreover, general management at the Speedway store has the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Don't expect them to lift a finger to make your experience pleasant - they'd rather lose your business. And as a Tucson resident who has never complained about food or service, they've set a new bar for me - I will never go back and plan on contacting the owners. more

We have heard Mama's commercials for years so when we were going by on Speedway and noticed it tucked back, we pulled in. First, we were greeted by, well, no one. We went to a counter and were told to take a seat. We did but that had its challenges. Some were not bussed and some were piled high with trays of previously bussed tables. Pros: Serving size Cons: cleanliness and friendliness more

We ordered Mama's pizza last weekend after reading all the positive reviews. Having just moved here from back east, we were excited to try this citysearch hyped pizza. We ordered a regular cheese pizza for delivery. Pros: delivery available, friendly staff Cons: average tasting pizza more

Mamas pizza has the world's greatest pizza. Every time my inlaws come from new mexico i just have to take them there. the calzone is also delicious.... Pros: the pizza, calzone, and service Cons: wait more

Great service, nice family friendly atmosphere and some of the best pizza I have ever had. I don't recommend getting extra cheese on the family size pie though, it makes it kinda soggy and just does'nt taste as good. Pros: Good food, friendly service and a great atmsphere Cons: Cant think of one more

Anybody ordering their first Family Size Mama's Special will tell you when they picked up their pizza they came away shaking their head in disbelief. I have seen people call for help carrying the pizza. Everything on the menu comes in ample portions. You get a great value at Mama's. All whole items are prepared fresh immediately to the customer's order. Besides several sizes of pizzas, Mama's offers a slice which is 1/8 of a 24 inch Family Size pizza. The whole pizza is pre-prepared and partially cooked in advance. Depending on the customer's order, specialty toppings are added and cooking is completed, so there is only a short wait for the finished product. The Slice is perfect for a lunch where the customer's time is limited. Dining in a Mama's restaurant is always a great experience in a pleasant surrounding. No other pizza restaurant can offer what Mama's does. Pros: Good parking, Great Sound System, Great atmosphere more
