I was very pleased after my first visit to Mamajoun Armenian Pizzeria. After reading so many glowing reviews here on Yelp, I simply had to go out of my way to get me some.
I arrived at about 3pm and I was lucky to have the opportunity to speak to the owner Raffi about my first-timer selections since it was not busy at this time. Based on my cravings, my wife's allergies to tahini and Raffi's careful suggestions, I left with 4 Mamajouns, 1 Goat Cheese Pizza with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Mint and 3 Lentil Balls. Since I was bringing my order home across the city, I had two Mamajouns heated so I could enjoy them on the way and Raffi kindly instructed me how to prepare the others at home (he also provided me a separate bag with the condiments to keep them cool until I go there).
Everything was as delicious as I expected and each item was thoroughly enjoyed by myself, wife and kid.
I was happy to have experienced some authentic Armenian flavours in the Mamajouns and Lentil Balls and also familiar flavours in the pizza (although the mint really added a wonderful, unique touch to it). I'd like to suggest to those that might be apprehensive about Armenian pizza having too many exotic flavours, that if you stick with the "Pizza" menu here, you'll only get really, really good Italian-tasting pizza with quality ingredients.
The establishment itself is very clean and inviting with nice decor. You can see into the kitchen through a glass partition which was nice.
I look forward to returning to Mamajoun and trying several other items from the menu (although I'd order the same things again in a heartbeat).
"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" Five stars.
