GENERAL NOTES
This place was just bought by a new owner six months ago. I went in the for first time today and almost immediately the owner came out and started talking to me. Apparently the previous owner was a bit of a disaster and getting customers back has been a bit of challenge. The new owner (I can't believe I didn't get his name) is a great guy and seems to really pride himself on providing a superior product to some of the other pizza options in the area. They certainly aren't the cheapest here, but some of the deals are not bad and the pizza is excellent.
MENU RECOMMENDATIONS
I like to try a basic pizza out first when sampling a new place so I went with a pepperoni mushroom. It was excellent. Thin crust, toppings right to the edge and homemade-tasting sauce (I got a huge chunk of plum tomato on one slice). Also, the veal sandwich is very good for a quick, cheap snack. Thick but super tender meat on a well toasted bun.
That being said, it seems Mamma's specialty is more in the gourmet pizzas and pastas. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll go back so I can update this.
SERVICE NOTES
Reasonably quick service. The owner makes most of the food here (he claims to put in over 80 hours a week) and takes good care. Delivery available.
LOCATION NOTES
Slightly hidden in the Tim's/Wendy's plaza on the east side of Trafalgar, south of Dundas. Patio coming soon apparently. Bar stools for eating in.
HUMOUROUS STORY
They say never trust a skinny chef. No worries here.
