Mamma Mia

Great little take away, perfect for that drunken late night feast on your way home from town!
I find that the pizzas can be a little hit or miss. Sometimes they are full of toppings with lots of cheese and others they are really bland with minimum toppings. I think it depends on who makes the pizza and what time of night you go.
If you are ordering a pizza perhaps just have a joke and say ‘lots of toppings this time’! I normally do this and they guys are really friendly and put extra on now.
If you don’t ask… you don’t get!
If you don’t fancy a pizza, try the chicken and pitta. It comes with salad but sometimes a little too much lettuce and not enough chicken, so again just keep an eye on this.

This unique Italian takeaway is located on Kingstanding’s Hawthorn Road, amongst various other high street shops and just opposite Tesco Express. It offers a very diverse menu, with food ranging from pizzas and pastas to kebabs and burgers. Certain dishes even come with Mamma Mia’s signature sauce, a sort of tomato-​bbq-​mayo hybrid which actually tastes great and makes a pleasant compliment to a beef and pepporoni ½ lb burger, my meal of choice upon visiting.
Mamma Mia’s waiting area is clean and sizeable, yet contains no seats whatsoever, which can be very irritating, as the freshly prepared food tends to take a while to cook. The hut-​effect tiled roofing above the counter adds a nice touch to the Italian theme, but besides that and a hand-​painted chef on one of the walls, the interior is a quite drab and uninspiring. Mamma Mia deserves credit for its originality (let’s face it, it’s not every day you see an Italian takeaway on your local high street) and for it’s incredibly reasonable prices, however, the service and food provided by this offbeat eatery are mediocre at best.
