Really? Do you like Johnny's?

I sat and talked to the owner while he made my pizza to go.

You really need to eat in. I live very close and do not take them to go anymore because it does not travel well at all. It's a totally different product when you eat in.

No dont care for Johnny's

Mama Della isnt just a "little" greasy. It had more grease than any NY Style pizza I have ever had in my life by far. I at least 10 napkins full of grease and that still wasnt enough I couldnt taste shite other than grease. So I tried the dough alone to see If maybe I should have just ordered cheese. Nope no flavor. The outside of the crust easily cracked with no bend while the middle just fell apart. NY Style is by far my favorite style of pizza too.

Best I have had in BR was Johnny D's before he moved. (he went to crap after he moved before he closed)

When the place was completely empty the way it was when I went there is no excuse to putting out such a bad pizza.

All I could think about was the number of people on this board that give Shlitz and Giggles shite for being greasy but this place gets a pass??? If I took the grease off of 3 Shlitz and Giggles pepperoni pizza's and poured it onto one pizze I dont know If I would have had equal.

BTW forgot to add that the pepperoni tasted more like the you get in the grocery store to make home pizza. Maybe that was why so greasy

Sorry never had Roma.

I picked up a to go order when they first opened. It did not travel well and I was not impressed. I'd give them another shot only if dining in.

How are their roasted wings?

That pizza does look good in the pic. I had a few other ingredients on mine and it was way undercooked. FWIW - Deangelos burned pizzas twice at the location on Jefferson near Mama Della's but they are nowhere near the place they were in the late 90"s early 2000's

Mam Dellas - Dine in - I will give them one more chance

I've had FDL two times in my whole life. Once was when I was like 10 years old, so I do not remember it. The other time was a year-ish ago and I don't remember being wowed.

That said, I am not AT ALL a pizza person. I've had Mama Della's a few times and while I can certainly see where it's better than other pizzas (I hate pepperoni pizza, so I like that they have pizzas with fresh veggies), it's still a pizza at the end of the day.

Actually, there's pretty much nothing I refuse to eat. If you put a plate down in front of me, I'll eat it. In fact, I get angry when people refuse something at someone's home because I find that as an adult, it's fairly easy to force yourself to tolerate something and even enjoy it.

I just have things I like more than others and pizza is one of the ones I am not a freak about like some people are. It's something I eat when I'm craving it and that's about it.

I picked up a pizza yesterday on the way home from work to check it out. Never again. Don't get a pizza to go. That pizza does not hold up well at all. The middle just becomes a mushy mess after an hour of bringing home. Don't bother getting your hopes up for a decent cold pizza breakfast the next morning. Half the pizza went straight into the garbage.
