On faithful insistence of friends who are Mama Santa?s fans, I gave Mama Santa?s pizza three separate tries. Unfortunately, three strikes. As an enthusiast who has tried thin crust pizza at over 100 purveyors (NO... (more)

I'm originally from Cleveland but now live in Palm Springs, Ca. There is not one place that has homemade and authentic tasting pizza here in Palm Springs like Mama Santa's. I am forever dreaming of the pizza from there... (more)

The pizza at Mama Santa's is some of the best I've ever had, but our waitress was terrible. It took 10 minutes for her to take our drink order and another 10 minutes to bring the drinks. After my wife and I where clearly... (more)

I was told this place had the best pizza in Cleveland. I was shocked by what I actually got. It was overcooked, even black on some parts. Even if it was fine the service leaves a lot to be desired. Service is indifferent to... (more)

Good pizza and manicotti. Stay clear of the lasagna. Decor a little tacky. Service is inconsistent- sometimes efficient and friendly, other times slow and a tad bit rude. (more)

This place is actually very tasty. By no means upscale, but the pastas are fresh and the pizza crisp. The toppings on pizza are canned, or dehydrated onions, but with the homemade sauce and crust it comes out much... (more)

I'll won't dwell on the negatives about the space others have brought up. Yes, the 2 person tables against the wall are not for the claustrophobic or large of build. We purposely went at lunch due to the other... (more)

We went to Mama Santa's because so many people in CLE seem to think it's "the" place for Italian/pizza. I can't imagine ever going back. 1. Service was incredibly slow although they weren't busy. However, we... (more)

Although known for their relatively inexpensive prices, Mama Santa's is not the place to go if you are use to decent customer service. I have gone to Mama Santa's on several different occasions, and the sevice is... (more)

Mama Santa is definitely a good value. The prices are cheap and the food is decent. The previous poster called it a small and intimate restaurant, but really it would be more accurate to call it cramped and cave-like.... (more)

Like the title suggests, people seem to love one or the other of these rival pizza shops in the Little Italy neighborhood. For me, Mama Santa is the winner...hands down!!! I have tried Valentino's a few times and found... (more)

Mama Santa's is a prefect example of why you can't believe everything you read! It was the worst Italian food we have ever tasted! We LOVE good Italian food & we're not some picky yuppie couple that only eats in 5 star... (more)
