Summary Review: 4.5 stars (out of 5)


Detailed Review:

Crust: The crust at Mama Mia’s has medium thickness, and it is not too bulky.  The crust has a nice texture: crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.  The cheese spills onto the crust and adds a little bonus flavor.  Score: 10/10.

Sauce: This pizza is somewhat undersauced, but the sauce that does exist has a pleasant tomatoey taste.  Score: 6/10.

Cheese: The cheese is a mixture of mozzarella and provolone, and it appears in good quantity.  It also produces very little grease.  Score: 10/10.

Toppings: The sausage comes in cut slices and offers just a small amount of spiciness, but it is also a little salty.  The pepperoni comes in thin slices and also offers just the right amount of spiciness.  Both toppings appear in high quantity.  Score: 9/10.

Overall Taste: All of the pieces come together quite well.  Only the saltiness of the sausage and lack of sauce prevent a higher score.  Score: 8.5/10.

Pizza Appearance: The pizza has a nice appearance with the cut sausage catching the eye.

Dining Atmosphere: The dining room is large for a downtown area, and it offers some TV’s for entertainment.

Customer Service: The service was a little slow on my visit, but the lone server was very busy and had a lot of customers.

Monetary Value: The price is somewhat expensive, but this is a high quality 14” pizza.  Therefore, the value is not as bad as you might expect.


The Final Judgment:

I sing the praises of Mama Mia, and I would come here regularly if I lived near Elkins.  Score: 85/100.
