Were any of you at Mama Della's tonight?

I was among the masses that didn't have a reservation

At least I got in a pic with Mr. Irvine

This is my 1st time taking a real close look at the place, so I couldn't answer that.

Some of the people that didn't have a reservation are still here

I passed by a little before 10 and there were still people in the parking lot. From the road I could see the walls are painted red...but couldn't see much else. I've only been in it once. I hope they fixed the horrible natural gas leak they had a few months ago.

Thanks for answering, guys! I hope he makes it!

I hope they cleaned the facade. Always looked at little scummy to me

I hope the update helps. Best pizza in town.

I drove by on my way to dinner down the street and it looked like 2000 people in the parking lot.

Always wondered, does food network pay for everyone's food for the soft openings or did you pay for your meal?

Yea me and the SO had reservation and even were one of the ones interviewed about how it was, might end up on the show. But as for the pizza, I liked it better before. The crust is not the same, it is a lot more crispy which is ok but also a lot more airy. I know a lot of people said it was too greasy before, but now its almost too dry. It was fun being in there and seeing Irvine interact with the people and the staff. We got a picture with him too, was a pretty nice guy.

Probably this. If not, the TV cameras attract crowds. There are people who will pay $50 for a meal if that means the possibility of getting air time and to also interact with a TV personality.
