I can't believe I haven't reviewed Mamma's before now. Good pizza. Good pasta. Good value, and now that I'm thinking about it - I'm hOngry! They've also been decent enough to honor the residual value on my long, LONG expired coupon deals. The pizza is good - really good. Might not strike one as "gourmet" but there are enough varieties and variations to satisfy any rational person, and for a tiny walk-up counter, they offer an amazing variety of pastas and subs as well. Pizza, baked ziti, manicotti - all very good, and the pastas under $10. The 40th Street and East Indian School location has a tiny indoor dining area - seating for 6 - maybe? And a few 2-seat patio tables out front which are not unpleasant on a moderate night. This location gives impression of being much cleaner and brighter than the defunct 8th Street location which was much more convenient for mid-towners to get to and still had good food at great prices, but had a decidedly divey vibe. "Divey" can have be its own charm but I don't miss the dozens of dead flies on the windowsills at the closed location - and this one happily doesn't have those! Mamma's is good - worth the occasional detour to 40th Street even if it's not on your regular flight path home or wherever.
