Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
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 hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. 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. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. 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 place. Pies area great and they have a great selection of Italian. Fantastic service, they really take care of you. Not much beer or wine offering. If you like lots is sauce or cheese, get extra. Sparse on the regular pies.
(4)David R.
Take-out process is terrible. I have had multiple occasions when my order was not ready at the estimated time given. So be prepared to wait longer then the time they tell you. Other then that the food is awesome. I just wish they would do a better job managing take out orders as it does get frustrating at times.

Be happy for this hard working family that started from scratch two years ago and now are expanding into adjacent space to double their dining area. And they are expanding the kitchen to accommodate more customers. Congratulations! Good food, excellent menu, beer and wine, garlic rolls to die for and great, great service. Catering is excellent. For the past two years our pottery club has had them cater our annual party of over 100 members. The food arrived hot and there were leftovers as their portions were more than ample. Rave reviews from the club members who already want Mama's to cater our 2015 event. New York style pizza along with all the pastas, Strombolis, salads, etc. The full boat. Join all the rest of us who love Mama's. You will leave happy.

Mamas Pizza was well received when they initially opened. The area did not have a family restaurant like it. The food was handmade and you could certainly taste that there was nothing packaged. Unfortunately, more recently, just the opposite is the case. Chicken parmesan was obviously prepackaged and the taste was awful.It is a shame that they could not keep up with their initial high quality.
(1)Kim S.
BEST pizza in the Charlotte area. Fresh ingredients their pizza - favorite is pepperoni & meatball!
(5)Arpit S.
Ordered half cheese for the boys and half light jalapeños for the Wifey and I. The genius chef dropped a bottle of jalapeños and even managed to get a few on the kids half. We will stick with Lorenzo's. Much better service and pizza.

Water was great and so were garlic knots...went downhill from there...service was poor...but looks like it has potential we may try it again...

Just a bad experience overall. Awful. Friday night went there with my mother, we got there around 7:30. It was busy. There was no hostess and it got a crowded at the door with people coming in. About 5 minutes later she arrived. They sat us next to the kitchen door. OK - that's no biggie we didn't asked to be moved. Some nice lady brought us hot bread with marinara right away and that was nice - and that's where it ended. We waited at least 15 minutes before a waiter FINALLY arrived. When he did I asked if he could just take our whole order because I didn't think I'd see him again. Our bread basket was empty. He didn't clear anything or ask if we wanted more. OK - I can deal with that. Our oh so "Very complicated" order was a glass of water and a glass of iced coffee. Two salads which obviously don't have to be cooked and a "togo" order for my son which could be brought out later as communicated. The wait ensued. I looked at my watch and at 8:10 we still didn't have a drink on the table. I finally stopped the other waiters/bussers/hostesses who walked by our table numerous times and could see we had been sitting there forever, and asked them if we could get our drinks. (BTW - dirty bread plates/baskets still on the table), instead of getting us some water they went back to our waiter who arrived with our water an coffee. By this time the place had cleared out - so it wasn't busy. Now we wait for our food. And wait. And wait. at 8:25 I'm livid, the night is ruined. I would have walked out but at this point, it was late. We ask if someone could get us our stinking food. He brings two us our two bowls of iceberg lettuce. I had ordered a greek salad - I got iceberg lettuce with some bottle olives and some tomatoes. My mother ordered the antipasto which was a bowl of iceberg lettuce with some meat on top. I ask the waiter to just bring out our togo order and the check. A manager stops by and says "Oh I heard you had to wait a few minutes for your food." I guess if you call waiting an hour for some iceberg lettuce and some water "a few" minutes. She offers some free desserts. I don't really care about dessert or free. What I wanted was an enjoyable relaxing dinner. But my mom says ok. The waiter brings us the check and our togo orders. He mentions that we're getting free desserts so he knew about it. He brings us a bag for the to go order picks up the credit card. Brings it back. Never mentions or brings the dessert... nothing. Was probably one of the worst experiences I've ever gotten at a restaurant. Their pizza may be good, I don't know. But no pizza is worth the rotten service of this restaurant. I will not be back and I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
(1)Kimberley A.
We have been here several times since we found this hidden treasure! Staff and owners are a pleasure, and the food is excellent. Try to save room for the desserts, Heavenly!! The Calzone is large enough for two or three, and the sauce is yummy! Everything we have tried has been spot on!

Being a restauranteur in Indian Land has got to be the easiest job in America. That was my takeaway from dining at Mamas Pizza & Pasta. How is this place anywhere close to a 4 star cumulative average? We went on a Friday night and the place was SRO so I figured we hit the jackpot. Like a fool, I ordered a sampler feast. I am here to tell you that this place serves frozen and microwaved food. The meatballs were waterlogged. The cheese on the lasagna looked like spackle. The spaghetti pasta was flavorless. And all of it is covered in a "marinara" sauce that tastes like it was store bought but they dumped a bunch of sugar into it to hide the taste. Maybe the pizza here is great... I don't know. And I'm not trying to completely pan the place as it has its merits as a CiCi's type place where you can strap on the feedbag. You want to feed a bunch of kids? This is your place. However this should not be on anyone's lips as "authentic NY" anything. I threw out most of my food by the way.
(1)Susan B.
Ummmm no Two stars cuz it smelled good and the staff was friendly. Got a take-out 16" and the dough was tasteless and very thick in some parts and hard as cardboard on the bottom. Couldn't fold it. The cheese was rubbery. I ate 1/2 a slice and gave up. Do yourself a favor and drive to Tony's for your NY pizza fix.
(2)Shauna C.
They have really excellent prices and friendly service. The complimentary garlic knots are a great touch, but unfortunately I did not care for the marinara sauce which was WAY too sweet. I ordered the chicken franchese- it wasn't the best I've ever had but it certainly wasn't the worst. My side salad had great italian dressing- but I am not much of an iceburg lettuce fan. Their specials and prices are so good id give them another try...I just wouldn't get anything with that marinara on it.
(3)Fast E.
Very good Italian food. I had a Calzone with spinach mushrooms and sausage. My wife and daughter had a regular pepperoni pizza. Both were great and served hot. Side salad was fresh and delish. We started with the broccoli Raub, mainly because I've never had it before, anywhere, so wanted to try it. I was certainly satisfied. Great food, service is good, portions are huge, you will be taking something home. See you next week!
(4)John M.
Excellent family pizza place. If you like New York style Italian and pizza, you've found your spot. We ordered the "Grandma" and it was really good. They use their plum tomato marinara on it instead of their pizza sauce and the flavor was spectacular. My daughter got the kids ravioli ($4.99 drink included!!) and it came with melted mozzarella on the top.. which she loved! We got dinner and lunch out of both the pizza and her kids ravioli. Ordered side salads which were cheap, by comparison to other places.. at $2.95. Believe me, the salad was not worth more than 2.95, but kudos for them pricing it as such... the dressings are home made, though, which is a plus. We did not get a dessert, but they are also apparently made in house... except the cannoli shells. We will dive into the dessert tray next time. The only mistake our server made was not mentioning the desserts.. but in his defense, we appeared to be in a rush and he probably decided we were not going to be interested.. HOWEVER, had he mentioned all of the house made items on their dessert menu, we probably would have ordered something.

I went to mamas and had the best meal I've had since I left New York The owner sal and his wife Kathy treated me like I was at home in New York I highly recommend going to see Sal and Kathy at mamas you will not regret it
(5)Michael M.
Talk about perfect omg it's like being back in NY. The food was great and the service.... Forget about it... It was outstanding.
(5)Steve C.
Like someone else mentioned, you have to hunt to find their location the first time going. I gave up and had them deliver my pizza. Since we just moved into the area from NJ and were used to Philly and NY pizzas, I have to say their pizza was on par with the pies from Philly & NY. No complaints here and we will be going there to sample their dinners shortly.

Dropped by recently to try it out. Weekday evening, the place was half filled and service was horrible. Maybe short staffed? But 3-4 people running around and order is taken, drinks and meals are dropped off without able to get a word in to get additional items. Staff disappears. Floor was greasy in some areas, with a few staff members slipping. Oil on the banquette cushion. Complimentary dough knots should not be called "garlic knots" since they taste nothing like garlic or oiled up like most actual garlic knots should be. By the way, the "olive oil" they use is such an inferior low quality oil, it tasted more like cooking oil or vegetable oil in the bottle. The Family Feast dish had a ton of stuff dumped on, but was really covered by a pound of cheese. The Bruschetta pizza was good, but missing a flavor, prob real extra virgin olive oil. I was going to give this place 3 stars, but as I was writing this, it appeared I didn't like this place as much as I thought.
(2)Anne K.
My husband and I tried out this place on a Sunday evening based on some reviews about fantastic Italian food. Food was OK...had Calamari (a bit chewy), Shrimp Parm and Chicken Franchese ...again, Ok but I've had better. The biggest disappointment was service...place was relatively busy but not full and still people waiting to be seated when we left. Food took a long time to be served...(who is managing the kitchen?) - almost felt like canceling the order when we had to wait so long for the main course. Perhaps the biggest irritation was the waiter (not ours) who stood in the aisle "visiting" the folks at the booth behind us the entire time! His customers received minimal attention and I could see they were irritated too! My question is, where is the management at this place? No one notices a waiter who is standing next to a booth and chatting with guests for almost a solid hour? Finally, a young woman from the front came round and said something to him and he moved away - I think one couple (his table) probably mentioned something on the way out.
(2)Mellissa W.
4.5 Great food, calamari was spot on. Chicken Marsala was fair. My husband chicken arriibata was better. Kids pizza was good. Way to full for dessert and three to go boxes to travel home. They have like teenage boy servings. Wait staff was friendly. Very busy for a place I couldn't find it from road its to the right of Publix. Will defiantly come again. Menu very large good for group every one will have something here. They do have chicken fingers for kids even though not listed on menu.

This is our go to place in Waxhaw for Pizza. It's on 521 by Piblix. The food is do freaking good! I even started having their Antipasto salad and it's do good. The pizza here taste like if you're getting real NY pizza in the city. The freaking meatballs are to die for! All of their pasta dishes are really good and huge portions. All I can say us thank you Mama's for being in the neighborhood. They have a long list of desserts and just about everything is made in house. Also the sauce they use for pasta or in meatballs us to die for. Trust me you must come here! Lady staff is really friendly and are great!
(5)Jennifer M.
Went here with my Mom and she ordered the bacon chicken salad. The chicken she said tasted rank and the bacon was tough. My Mom let the waitress know that it tasted really bad. The manager came out and told us he was sorry and would take it off the bill. I ordered a Greek salad to go. When the waitress brought the bill to the table the chicken salad was still on the check. I told her the manager was taking that off the bill and she said that he told her to just keep that on there and it would pay for the Greek salad. My Mom asked her if they were the same price and the waitress assured us they were. I knew that was a lie because a Greek salad has no meat and no way were they the same. I went up to the front and got a menu and the Greek salad is 5.95 and the chicken was 8.95. I took the menu over to her and told her that her and her manager had no clue what they were talking about, that there was a $3 difference between the 2 salads. If I wouldn't have called them out, they would have ripped us off $3. My aunt was also with us and she wasn't to thrilled with her pasta either. I'll definitely stay away from this place. Not only do they have nasty low quality food, they try to rip you off.
(1)Don P.
Great service, plenty of food, and price was right! One of my favorite spots to eat. The chicken parm was very good, and stuffed shells was a close second. Will be a once a week spot to eat. My wife is very picky about where she will eat, well she put this place on her "great place to eat" and that is good enough for me! LOL
(4)Bruce P.
We have eaten here twice, and the food and service were both very good. Huge portions, had spaghetti with meat balls once and lasagna once, both we're very good and large quantities as well. Good value for the money, will definitely return.
(4)Stem E.
Went last evening. Had Cheese pizza and a chicken parm sub. Both were delightful. Mama's has a vary flavorful sauce which is the key to everything. I found their pizza on the same scale as the other pizza places in the area, Palone's, Lorenzo's, Tony's - and it was a bit less expensive. The chicken parm sub was probably the best I've had in the 7 years living in the Charlotte area. The area really lacks a quality chicken parm sub. The service was attentive from the hostess to the wait staff. Didn't have to wait long for the knots and sauce to be brought to the table (free at dinner time at least) Will definitely be back.
(4)Brian F.
The pizza was just okay. It was the average southern NY style pizza you get around here. It did not compare to Junior's/Lorenzo's. It was overcooked and almost burned. The flavor just wasn't there although they were not skimpy with the toppings. The wings were terrible. They were breaded, which is a huge no-no. They were also tiny, and served with ranch (another big no-no), and not carrots or celery. They looked and tasted like they were pre-sauced and baked in an oven and not fried. The people working were very nice, but I'm not in a hurry to return. Thankfully Lorenzo's is just a few miles over the state line.
(3)Kate S.
Great lunch spot! Fed 6 people for $36; huge fresh pizza slices and tons left over. Delicious!!!!

The food is ok, we ordered an extra large pizza for pick up and were told 15 minutes to pick up. Arrived about 20 minutes later and the young girl at the counter told me, after looking in the back, a few more minutes. So I stood by and waited. About 10 minutes later a woman, maybe the owner, approached me and asked me had I been helped and I replied sort of. She asked my name and I told her. She went to the back, looked around and asked one of the cooks something. Then she went and looked on top of one of the ovens and there was my order. It was ready when I walked in they just had no idea at the front. So, 10 minutes or so wasted. When we got home we did eat it all so not complaining about the taste just the service. My wife wanted to try it again so the next night we ordered a calzone and a medium pizza. Gave the person my name and was told about 20 minutes to pick up. Went to pick it up and was told by the same front staff that couldn't find my order from the previous night that they had given our order to another lady with the same name. So, now we had to re order and wait another 20 minutes. Ughhhhh.. Ok, so we finally get our food and go home to eat it. I had the calzone which had no taste. Very bland and doughy. Will not order that again. Wife seemed to like the pizza so may get that again. The front end staff was apologetic for their mistake but at no point offered any sort of break on the price, coupon or credit for our next visit. That was sort of a downer. If I were in charge I would have done that. The food is decent but our only two visits have been disappointing. MAY go back...
(3)Natalie H.
Good dinner. Nice atmosphere. So happy to have an authentic NY Italian restaurant in Indian Land,SC.
(5)Dave C.
I live in Charlotte and it is well worth the drive out here to delve into the pasta, pizza! I have had both pizza and pasta. Pasta is my favorite. Spaghetti is cooked aldente Both the Sausage and the Meatballs are done to perfection and the marinara sauce...I told the manager and chef that if I Drowned in a pool filled with it I would die a happy man, yes it's that good! The only negative is they play a lot of Celine Dion...
(5)Tom M.
Okay. Third time here. Food is very very good. Service was way above average. I ordered the Mommas special which was way more than I could eat but every bite was delicious. The sauce,in my opinion, is a little bland but not bad. For the money it is a great choice.
(4)Abby N.
We ordered a sicilian thick crust pizza and the spinach artichoke dip. We had it delivered and it did arrive in the time we were told. However, the pizza was $18.95 - $14.95 for the pizza plus 2 $2 toppings (pepperoni and mushrooms) and the dip was $6.95. There was maybe 1/2 cups worth of dip in the container! The pizza was either horribly overcooked or old and they reheated it. We called the manager and he told us that what we got delivered was right but that they would credit us. I will never eat at this restaurant again - HORRIBLE pizza and way over priced for what you get!
(1)Mark K.
For this location and where I am, it's definitely one of the better spots for Italian. If it was in NYC or other major cities, I would of rated it a bit less. Regardless, I'm grateful that this place opened up near work. Thank you!
(4)Jeff G.
This place is awesome! Pizza is Authentic NY Style. Cecilian Itialian at it's best. I love the sauce! The meatballs are huge, the lasagne melts in your mouth.
(5)David C.
Amazing....simply amazing. And that means a lot coming from a guy raised in Brooklyn. I could eat this every day and never get tired of it!!!
(5)Trisha F.
Very disappointed. When Mama's Pizza first opened we tried the pizza and it wasn't bad. We have ordered pizza several more times and they were not good at all. We also had lunch and again it was not very good. I ordered Chicken Parmesan which came with very watery tasteless sauce on the chicken and also on the pasta side dish. We were told the owners came from Long Island so we were hoping for authentic Italian dishes but unfortunately disappointed that it didn't live up to our expectation for flavorful Italian food. We tried the pizza again yesterday and it was the worst one yet. Doubt that we will return again.
