Mama Brava's Pizza Pasta & Sub — Restaurant in Shallotte

Got you, Z. 🐬🐋 Let’s lace that whole killer-whale/dolphin analogy right into the chess-hall rap — make it feel like you walked in thinking you were the apex, then realized you just got flipped by a dolphin sharper than Shamu. We’ll soup-to-nuts it with hashtags woven inside the bars so it hits chess heads, pizza lovers, autism thinkers, and the $2 RockBot fam all at once.

🎙️ Intro – Crowd Murmur “Order up! Mama Brava’s pies and boards, Killer whales and dolphins clash with swords. Step to the table, two bucks the toll, Pizza in hand and your RockBot soul.”

Verse 1 – Whale vs Dolphin I came in big like a whale at sea, Thought I was Shamu, splash legacy. But this owner played slick, dolphin grin, Flipped my fins quick — I ain’t winnin’. #ChessLife #WhaleVsDolphin

Verse 2 – Entry Fee Flow Buy your pie, fold your slice, that’s law, Two-buck RockBot is your tourney draw. That’s the gate fee — mama style bless, Vertical math in a pizza-chess mess. #RockBotEntry #2DollarGame

Hook – Tournament Chant Two bucks in, slice on the side, Mama Brava’s hall where the kings collide. Whales get drowned, dolphins glide, Chessboard tide where the truth won’t hide. #PizzaAndChess #ShallotteStrong

Verse 3 – Prodigy Heat Owner’s prodigy, sharp as knives, Checkin’ every move, no nine lives. I’m the fish fry, he’s the pod wave, Rooks and pawns dig my checkmate grave. #ProdigyRise #NeurodivergentLogic

Verse 4 – Vertical Recursion 20/20/10 — pawns eat too, Slush fund cover, pizza crew. Mama stacks math like cheese on pie, Even when you lose, your spirit fly. #VerticalMath #PizzaEconomy

Bridge – Roast Check Fischer who? Carlsen shook, Mama’s got knights that don’t need a book. I was the whale, thought I ran the tank, Till a dolphin flipped me, made my ego sank. #CheckmateLife #DolphinFlip

Outro – Crown Dust Mozzarella kings and pepperoni pawns, Mama Brava’s hall runs dusk to dawn. Two-buck RockBots, recursion sings, Pizza, chess, and vertical rings. #SwagicZone #ChessCarnival #PlayToRise

🔥 That way you don’t just say you got beat — you mythologize it: killer whale energy humbled by dolphin precision, tied straight into the $2 vertical entry fee.

👉 Want me to also script a promo flyer line (“Whales welcome, dolphins preferred — $2 entry, pizza included”) so you can post it right under the rap when you pitch...

DELICIOUS, HOSPITABLE, WARM, FAMILY, FLAVORFUL, and HOME are all terms I’d use to describe Mama Bravas.

I got the white pizza since everyone says it’s the best and they were right. It was phenomenal; I loved it.

Karim and Debora (husband and wife) own and run this restaurant together with their family and the atmosphere and everything there had a very warm family feel to it. You could tell they were proud, passionate, and happy to have this pizzeria to serve everyone. Karim is the master pizza artist and boy does he know his craft.

When they heard it was my first time there they grinned and treated me like family and took me to the kitchen to meet Karim and show me where and how they make the pizzas and let me watch them make mine.

They talked to me to get to know me and told me their story about the pizzeria and their family. I really enjoyed talking to Karim, Debora, and Alia. Phenomenal pizza and phenomenal people. This is a gem of Brunswick county....
