Reviews for Mamma Lisa’s Pizzeria in Somerville, MA
This has been a childhood favorite for years. My mom and I hadn?t gone in years but figured we?d come back for old time?s... sake. Nothing has changed, and that?s an amazing thing. Great service, amazing pizza, it all feels and tastes like home afteralmost 10 years away. Unfortunately they had a big flood and destroyed most of their boxes but they?re offering a good discountfor their pizza as a result! Read more
I really don't know what to say. I hate to trash a place that used to be legendary but they rob you blind with their prices and... the lack of quality with their food. The large sub is the size of a small now. There are no prices on the menu anymore. Thatshould tell you something. Sad thing is, I'm the manager of a very successful Marketplace on the South Shore that does atremendous lunch business. I know food cost like the back of my hand and this is nuts! I've been going here since I was a kid,it's sad to see what it has become. Just when in for a "Large" Italian, slice of Calzone, 2 cans of soda....$21.00! So let'sfigure this out. I know the slice of calzone was $4.99, so if you charged $2.50 for a can of soda (which is ridiculous) thatwould be $10. That would mean my "large" Italian sub would be $11?!?! Huh? So sad to see. No wonder at 1:00pm on a Thursday itwas dead. Matter of time until they close. Read more
This fine establishment is owned by family generations of professional, diplomatic, caring people. The food is delicious and... has people coming to purchase from other states! I witnessed this numerous times. The owner, Melissa, is gracious andpersonable and makes sure everyone is satisfied. The 52+years in business only reaffirms my opinion. You'll see!? Read more
So expensive when u order and they didn?t even cut my pizza. Had to cut it by myself.overall the pizza is really good.
I ordered a half cheese pizza and chicken finger salad. Was disappointed in the salad! Chicken was NOT fresh and slightly stale.... Huge chucks of tomato and generic dressing. Pizza was subpar, nothing impressive. I did like that I could order half a pizzainstead of the whole box. Order was made quick! Overall 3.5 stars out of 5. Probably wouldn?t order again. Price was about $23for salad and pizza. Read more
?Half cheese, half sausage and roasted peppers? literally just turned into half of everything. Place is usually good but this... was a joke. They then said it was made as ordered. Read more
Don't click the website or menu link that Google Maps has for this place, its wrong and apparently its been wrong for some time.... I made that mistake and thought delivery (to my area, which is less than a 10 min drive from Mamma Lisa's) was free because allover that website it says FREE DELIVERY (to the immediate area). There is a delivery fee. (Not a huge deal, and not why I'mleaving 1 star) But, heads up...if you Google search for the correct website/menu (as the woman on the phone suggested) thatlikely won't give you the right result either. When I tried to look for menu items and prices on what i was led to believe wasthe right website I was given a redirect page to "Slice!" which is some kind of delivery service, but the catch is that MammaLisa's no longer partners with Slice ? so i was prompted to "search for another pizzeria near me" and couldn't find a way aroundthat to just look at Mamma Lisa's menu. My low rating is because I feel like I've just been duped by these people. The serviceover the phone...ugh... The gentleman who took my order didn't ask for my name or ? more importantly ? what size calzone Iwanted, he made that decision for me and unsurprisingly made the most expensive selection on my behalf, and he failed to tell methe total for my order (which was simple, just one calzone) before the end of our call. When I called back to get thatinformation a woman answered the phone. She told me my total was over $35, which sounded insane to me. So I asked for abreakdown. She said "well, you ordered a full calzone which is $29.99 that plus taxes and delivery fee comes out to..." ? Istopped her there and questioned the delivery fee. "Oh, yea thats not our website, we've been trying to get that changed. We'vehad a delivery fee for the past 3 years." She was nice enough to waive the delivery fee this time, but said my order was alreadyon the way and it was too late for me to change anything. I asked how much half of a calzone costs, just out Read more
