Mamma Maria’s

Had tried this place for lunch.
The place had good pizzas. We tried the regular pie with some toppings and it was good. We also ordered a side of garlic knots and it was great.
The pizza is really huge and a single slice Keeps you filled in.

The place is very nice with murals of Venice. We had order a small pie to eat in. The pie was delicious and the waitress was very friendly. You can’t go wrong.

The quality of service has really dropped off over the past four years. We were loyal regulars going back to the original owners. But the last few times we went the portions were smaller on the heroes. And they wouldn’t do special requests as in the past. We’ve moved on as a result.

That was the best place we ate all week!!! Very friendly and helpful staff. Will make you just about anything. Pizza was AMAZING… Great prices and large pizza the two of us get to take half of it home for leftovers… Yum! Will definitely go back here when we come back this direction! Was hard to find with the gps (it couldn’t find it) but the place is just on 611. And the Unilocal directions/​locations worked like a charm once opened on my phone!

We did a significant amount of research on Unilocal in order to choose a place to eat dinner. We were skeptical about this restaurant seeming like a small pizza joint, but couldn’t get over the fact that they had so many amazing reviews. After being there, I have no idea where these amazing reviews came from. We ordered meatball Parmesan and baked ziti. Neither had any flavor. The sauce on the meatball Parma was pretty much just water. The baked ziti was swimming and cheese but had absolutely no flavor. We ate only a small fraction of each meal and the waitress didn’t even ask how it was or why we hadn’t finished eating. When we paid the bill, again we were not asked how our food wise or he would’ve had plenty to say. The only redeemable qualities were the garlic knots. Maybe their pizza and Stromboli is good, but do not order the pasta and do not expect to have good service.

Important– Mamma Maria’s has a new address: 934 U.S. 611. Wonderful Grandma’s Pizza, and terrific Garlic Knots! And those comments are from visitors from Brooklyn, New York!

The food here was delicious. Our waitress was also incredibly friendly. It’s a small place and I would recommend it to anyone, especially visitors from out of town looking for a good NY style pizza.

Reasonably priced, good quality Italian. You get a nice little salad and yummy toasted bread with the entrees. Pasta and white clam sauce was really good. BYOB is a major plus.
Place was clean And decent enough to eat there although they seem to do a big take out business. I will definitely go back.
Only real negative was the choice of music (but at least they had some !). It was some kind of innocuous pop. They should have Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc for the kind of place it is.

Had grandma pizza and girls split a cheesesteak. Sandwiches definitely large enough for 2 kids. Was ok — but not exceptional, grandma pizza was disappointing — especially the texture of the crust.

Really enjoyed my dinner here. The pizza was deelish and the waitress was so friendly and efficient. Being from NY, I never thought I’d find really good pizza but happy I did at this place!

Spent a few days in the Poconos with my family and we needed a good place to grab food. The restaurant was less than 10 mins away from where we were staying so why not. When we got there the back seats were full with an old group, white hair old lol so I thought they must love the food lol.
The restaurant is a small, family run business. They put a few small tables together to fit all 7 of us. We ordered a pie to start off and then everyone ordered an entrée… 2 orders of chicken parm platter, spinach roll and a chicken parm sandwich.
The pie came out first and as soon as everyone grabbed a slice we stopped talking and stuffed our faces lol. This is seriously nyc pizza. I went a few days later and found out that the lady and her husband are from the Bronx Arthur ave, little Italy area. No wonder why the food is fantastic.
The chicken parm platter was enough to split… 2 huge chicken breast with spaghetti. OMG my bf and I finished it all. Superb. The spinach roll was on point I tasted my sisters and I assumed the chicken parm was delicious also bc no one had food left at the end of the meal.

Great food at reasonable prices. Being originally from NJ I didn’t expect to find an Italian restaurant in the Poconos that is as good as this. Food was fresh prices were good and service was great.

The BEST Italian on the mountain. The food is always delicious! My family loves going for dinner — the house dressing is amazing, the bread is always crusty and fresh, the portions are humongous!

This place is not fancy but the food is wonderful. The prices are great, so you can bring the whole family. The pizza reminds me of real NY pizza.

We found this place on Valentine’s Day. Walked in about 30 minutes before closing — group of 6 and we were still welcomed with open arms!!!
Great pizza!!! Great service!!!
Cheryl (I don’t remember her name) blond lady, was awesome! She took care of us with a friendly smile, regardless of how late it was on Valentine’s Day!!! That’s just amazing! Thanks to the entire staff at Mamma Maria’s, you truly made our night an unforgettable one. And for that, we are extremely thankful.
A must visit again!

Best pizza I’ve had in the poconos. It is hidden on the northern end of 611 where it can be easily passed but it is a gem. Highly recommended. This is pizza how its done back in new york. Thankfully the owners are fron there so they know what they’re doing. Sausage and pepper sandwich is great and their red sauce is excellent. Pizza is delicious and I’m not even a big pizza fan but I love this place. Back in brooklyn there aee a handful I favor and I put this in the favorite pizza place list. Trust me you’ll be pleased! oh and they also have a full service restaurant attached. mouth is watering thinking about their sausage mushroom pie! Mmmmmmrrrrrrhhhh

If you’re from New York or New Jersey you’ll enjoy Mama Maria’s. The pizza is one of the best in the Poconos. The subs are great, full of meat and the bread is wonderful. The dinners taste home made, and the portions are ample.

We have also had bad service, they have seated us 2x and forgot us, and sometimes dont greet you when you come in so you are just standing there looking at them; however, the food is very good! The Pizza is like an 7 – 8, but the salads are awesome and huge and dinners and garlic knots are 10s! Im getting Chef salad there tonight!!! Also very clean since our area has the dirtiest Pizza places Ive ever seen this is mega important! :)

Great pizza! Had an 18″ red sauce with half pep and half mushroom. Good flavored sauce and toppings, definitely one of the better pizzas ive had in the NEPA area. I came in afterwork in uniform (Army) and they hooked me up with a discount! Thank you so much!
