Mama's Pizza — Restaurant in Cleona

I have been patronizing Mama's Pizza for a number of years. I travel close to 40 miles one way to go there and this should give some indication of how I feel about the food. First. A note on some reviewer who've said the counter staff had been "rude", or "didn't thank us for the business." I have found the usual two gentlemen, one of whom is the owner, are very cordial if you indulge them in conversation FIRST. They want to give you a nice, tasty pizza or sandwich...they do not put things like, "So, what about this COLD, huh? I wonder how long it will last?" Gimme a break. The counter staff are New York in their style; they aren't RUDE, they are focused on doing a job. If you think being asked, "So what'll it be?" is rude, then I don't know what to tell you. I have had wonderful conversations while waiting for my Pizza to be made. The economy, the last lockdown, forced them to cut down on dining room staff. I am thankful that they are still in business. Ok, now for the review, which will be short and to the point (but NOT RUDE). Mama's pizzas remind me of great slices in The Village. RAY'S and JOHN's on Bleecker St. This is HIGH PRAISE. If you haven't been, you'll have to trust me. The thin crust is always perfect and the sauce? Sweet, but not overly so. Just right. In all the years I've been going there, I have NEVER received anything but a perfect, delectable pie. When the need for Mama's Pizza descends upon me, I have no choice but to go the near 40 miles from my home, and bring the huddled masses back two pies...almost always missing a slice that I HAD to put in my PIE Hole! Oh, and that brings up another important fact for pizza connoisseurs who eat their slice while driving; Mama's cheese never slides off, ruining a nice shirt or burning your neck and chin...or chin and neck. You fold it in half and enter Pizza Nirvana. And, as Forrest Gump would say around a mouthful of Mamma's; "That's all I have to say...

I just relocated from Florida. Came here looking for a nice place that wasn't too expensive. I will go back to J&S pizza. I ordered a cajun chicken cheese steak, and a regular cheese steak. Both came out in a decent amount of time, but... My cajun chicken cheese steak was doused in marinara. Now I know the woman at the front desk asked me if I wanted sauce & onions. I assumed it was like a pepper sauce or something. Not gonna blame her for me not inquiring, but it should have been specified what "sauce" it was not just "sauce". I hear the cook come up & asked the cashier, "he wants sauce on the cajun"? To which the cashier made a nasty face & said, "that's what he wants". I ran up to say, "hey never mind on the sauce". Too late, already doused all over it. Cook doesn't even offer to make me on the way I wanted. Finally got the cheese steaks. Mine tasted horrible, and the regular one was barely a 1/8 of a pound of meat on it. More than half of the actual sandwich was just soggy bread. Now my girlfriend and I didn't even finish the other half of our cheese steaks. They were that bad. Onto the next issue. These two cheese steaks & a drink cost me $15.90. I pay $2 for a fountain drink that is stuffed to the top with ice then on the fountain dispenser I see a big sign that says, "NO FREE REFILLS"... I'll just leave that one there(it's 2017). Worst part is, my girlfriend & I have been crapping our brains out since 3 a.m.. Never again will I eat here. Quite...

Our family of 7 ate visited here today. Our first disappointment was that there was no high chair or even a booster seat for our toddler. The inside seemed a bit run-down with several noticeable needed repairs so not a pretty setting, but roomy and a nice little inside water fountain. We ordered a large cheese pizza which the kids all seemed to enjoy. The sampler was very good! The chicken fingers and fries were also good, but only a handful of fries were given so we felt that wasn't a good portion for the price. The garlic twists were tasty, but was too doughy for our liking and didn't seem baked enough. The ham puffs were also very good, although we personally couldn't taste much ham...but we liked that they weren't overloaded. The wings were medicore and . We ordered honey bbq as my husband can't eat very spicy and we were shocked to find out how spicy they actually were and my husband couldn't eat more than 3 wings. So if you can't eat spicy, don't order the honey bbq. It was also a bit disappointing that for a pizza shop that there were no refills allowed on the fountain soda. Overall, it wasn't the best and wasn't the worst. We would visit again next time we're in area because we always like to stop and support the small...
