I ordered this pizza on #PizzaFriday round 5:45 pm (I usually do not wish 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 considering the minimal wait can 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 had been very busy sending out deliveries and rapidly serving takeout clients 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 workers was additionally tremendous pleasant and environment friendly, you can inform they labored nicely collectively and that needed to have one thing to do with why the orders had been flying out the door.

The pizza itself is a superb worth, and completely what I’d contemplate to be a Celebration Pleaser.  You will get a stack of spherical or sq. pizzas with out breaking the financial institution and I assure everybody will at the least 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 slightly 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 pizza was one thing of a skinny Sicilian pizza, bordering on Outdated Forge model.  The crust was gentle and impossibly tender and required nearly no effort to chunk into.  It was barely crisp in some areas, however not one thing I’d 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 superbly with a deep golden brown crispness across the edge.  The thinner crust allowed the cheese to take a starring position on this program.  The cheese gave the impression to be much like the sq., however was cooked a bit extra and in consequence, regarded and tasted higher.  There was a bit extra saltiness to the cheese on this pie which actually offered very good distinction in opposition to the candy sauce.  Each pizzas had 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 slightly totally different than most different stromboli’s I’ve tried.  It was skinny, gentle, and centered on a skinny crust and steak reasonably 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 gentle, did not weigh me down and ate extra like an appetizer than a meal (despite the fact that it was massive sufficient to feed 2 individuals).

General, 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 increased high quality than the chains.  NEPA Pizza Evaluation accredited.
