| - I went to Mama's Pizza prior to the management change, way back in 2008. Back then, I remember my pizza being way overcooked, expensive and extremely small. It also took over an hour and a half (sans delivery, might I add) to get the pizza out to us.
Under the new owner? Man oh man, what a world of difference!
The new owner is a delightful character. He immediately welcomed both myself and a friend of mine into the store, and offered us a few free slices of pizza to try after ordering. The walk in special was $9.95, which is about the average price for a pizza in the area. The place wasn't really suited for sit in dining, but it's a small location, so that was to be expected.
Our pepperoni pizza was, and I say this without a single shred of a lie, one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life. It beats the hell out of all but the most expensive pizzas in the area (Dominos, Pizza Hut, Giovannis, etc. ) The crust was thin, chewy and seasoned with a bit of garlic and pepper, giving it a real Italian-style taste. Everything on the pizza was fresh, and you could tell...right down to the pepperoni itself. The pizza was made with fresh mozzarella, which was melted right onto the pizza. It was filling, and extremely satisfying. It didn't have that "synthetic" taste that you get with many other pizzas.
The only things hurting the rating is the fact that this isn't a sit down restaurant. It should be! The pizza is THAT good!
I've found my new delivery joint in Oakville. It's a shame that the old owner made such a mess of things, but it's clear that they've worked hard to turn things around. I am very impressed and will be returning again for more pizza; I'm dying to try the pasta and wings!
