Mother's Pizza — Restaurant in Calgary

Perhaps the most disgusting pizza I've ever tasted. Ordered takeout and pizza came soggy (there is a napkin / paper underneath it, and I couldn't even remove the pizza from the paper as the moisture has completely soaked through the paper and pasted it to the bottom of the pizza, and the bottom of the pizza was also so soggy and floppy it was hard to remove from the box). Also I ordered the California pizza and it came with dry (but smelly, as if it wasn't fresh) chicken, literally 3 tiny pieces of mango, and a ton of what was effectively raw (but slightly burnt) onions - very disgusting unless you really like eating raw onions. I ended up just baking the pizza in the oven to try to cook the onions and also firm up the pizza / remove the sogginess. This didn't do much except burn the top of the pizza and further dry the chicken...ended up throwing it out and just cooking something instead - what a waste of money and time. Avoid at all costs - if you are desperate I would recommend a frozen pizza from the grocery...

I too really enjoyed going to Mothers back when they were on 36 street, in the '80s.

Then one day, something happened. The menu changed (for the worse), the service vanished, and the upkeep on the place went downhill. We stopped going, and eventually they shut it down.

I heard of the "new" location in Country Hills (well, 11 years now), so I went to try it out for Old Times' Sake. It was a waste of time and effort.

The pizza dough and the cheese are both substandard, the toppings are ok but you can tell it's not a pizza chef assembling these. The awesome "bandito" is gone in space and time, replaced with a wholly unsatisfying "mexicana", similar - but completely different.

The proprietors were friendly enough, but you can tell they have no passion for Italian Food. It's just a means to generate income for them, it seems. No other visitors came while we were there, no calls on the phone. The place seems to be dying a...

Glad to have Mother’s back in Calgary . The first time that I had it again through door dash it was fantastic. But tonight July 25 , 21. I had put another order through door dash and waited for an over an hour with a status saying your dasher is waiting for Mother’s to get the order ready. Not even 2 mins after that my order was cancelled . Called Mother’s directly to find out what was going on and got the person on the other end to be so rude and hung up on me . Then I called back again to get a lady say “ no you cancel your order “ beyond confused as to what happened. UPDATED . I placed another order 2 days later and I swear it’s the same pizza from my first order that didn’t come . The crust was so hard and old tasting, bread sticks were to dry . Called and keep getting hung up...
