Mamma Mia’s Pizza in Scranton is a small takeout and supply joint on Poplar Road in Scranton Close to Scranton Prep and Burne Honda.  They have been in enterprise since 1992 and are recognized for his or her candy sauce pizzas, quick service, and reasonably priced costs.  The final time I attempted Mamma Mia’s was in 2012 once they had a Clarks Summit location which is now occupied by Nickie’s Hoagies.  I recall that assessment fondly, and I had acquired various requests to assessment the situation in Scranton through the years, so I made a decision it was time to strive the pizza within the Scranton location.

I ordered this pizza on #PizzaFriday round 5:45 pm (I usually do not prefer to order throughout peak occasions) so I used to be anticipating a prolonged wait.  I positioned an order for a spherical pizza, sq. pizza, and a cheesesteak stromboli pondering the minimal wait could be 45 minutes to an hour.  Surprisingly, the pleasant woman on the cellphone informed me 25 minutes so I hurried to the pizza cell and headed to the Electrical Metropolis.  I checked my name log, and arrived 23 minutes after I positioned the decision and my order had simply come out of the oven!  The brief wait time wasn’t for lack of enterprise, as a result of they have been very busy sending out deliveries and rapidly serving takeout prospects like myself.

Whereas inside, I did discover that there have been a couple of tables to dine at, though I am undecided if they provide desk service or not.  It did not look like the suitable time to ask a bunch of questions on a busy Friday night time.  The place was a bit bigger inside than I used to be envisioning, and it was very clear from what I noticed.  The employees was additionally tremendous pleasant and environment friendly, you can inform they labored effectively collectively and that needed to have one thing to do with why the orders have been flying out the door.

The pizza itself is a superb worth, and completely what I might think about to be a Social gathering Pleaser.  You may get a stack of spherical or sq. pizzas with out breaking the financial institution and I assure everybody will not less than prefer it.  The sauce they use on each pizzas is sort of candy, however not “Kool-Support” candy.  It has a pleasant texture and physique to it and even a bit of little bit of zest, however sweetness is the prevailing taste and what Mamma Mia’s is understood for.

The sq. pizza was one thing of a skinny Sicilian pizza, bordering on Previous Forge model.  The crust was delicate and impossibly tender and required virtually no effort to chunk into.  It was barely crisp in some areas, however not one thing I might describe as total crispy.  The cheese gave the impression to be mozzarella or a mix together with, however it had a pleasant stretch with delicate taste that allowed the signature sauce to shine.

The spherical pizza was cooked fantastically with a deep golden brown crispness across the edge.  The thinner crust allowed the cheese to take a starring function on this program.  The cheese gave the impression to be just like the sq., however was cooked a bit extra and because of this, appeared and tasted higher.  There was a bit extra saltiness to the cheese on this pie which actually supplied excellent distinction in opposition to the candy sauce.  Each pizzas have been very tasty, however the spherical pizza was the clear winner for me.

Cheesesteak Stromboli from Mamma Mia’s in Scranton.

The cheesesteak stromboli was a bit of completely different than most different stromboli’s I’ve tried.  It was skinny, mild, and centered on a skinny crust and steak moderately than copious quantities of cheese and toppings.  Many different strombolis pack within the cheese and toppings, however I appreciated the moderation and execution of this boli because it was mild, did not weigh me down and ate extra like an appetizer than a meal (regardless that it was giant sufficient to feed 2 folks).

Total, this pizza was good.  It is an distinctive worth, quick and handy to order and the service is terrific.  Mamma Mia’s is a superb selection for birthday events, soccer Saturdays/Sundays, or simply for a fast supply that’s larger high quality than the chains.  NEPA Pizza Overview permitted.
