While restrictions have been lifted for dine-in, we will continue to operate with curbside pick up & no contact delivery. Due to our 28 seat capacity, we feel that it is in our best interest to keep it closed. We are unsure of when & if are dining room will open. Thank you for your patience & choosing Mamas, we appreciate you all.

Mama Maria's Restaurant & Pizzeria is an Elmhurst eatery which has been serving quality pizzas & pastas since 1982. It was one of the first pizzerias in this area to offer a panzerotti. They've also made a name for thin-crust pizzas, specialty items such as a white pizza topped with artichokes & basil & a full line of Italian pastas.
Great pizza & pasta and good selection of Italian classics - the kids love the food - we like the pricing and the employees making and serving the food - a pleasant atmosphere, clean and friendly - say no more - a fine choice for Pizza and more! The best late night pizza delivery I know of in Elmhurst.

I ordered a pizza based on a recommendation of a colleague who deemed it a favorite and it was tasty but didn't quite meet the hype IMHO. The location is takeout only and prices are on par with other pizzerias in the area but, the taste didn't leave me with a - oooooohhh I have to go back and get this again and I was less than enthused about eating the leftovers.
As with anything, it could've been "not the best day" so I'll give it another try at some point. Until then, I view it as good, just not a preferred thin crust pizza joint. But I'm not opposed to them

I’ve found people around here to no have discerning taste when it comes to pizza. Just throw it together, and they’ll love it. I was not impressed at all. Bready crust that was not crisp and chewy… just blah. Ingredients thrown on. Peppers too chunky. Way too much cheese in center of pizza (not evenly distributed). Couldn’t finish it. Told husband to take it to office and let those heavies that eat anything take care of it. Sorry to be rude, but pizza is too easy. You wanna stand out? You need something special. Figure out how CPK makes their crust.

All you had to do was call me...let me know that my sandwich and appetizer were going to be late. Nah. 90 minutes you took FOR A SANDWICH AND APPETIZER. You could have walked the order across the street. You want to 'piggyback' the pizza order with my order...GREAT. You should have called or at least have your delivery attendant express an apology from management and pick up the order. $25 for a one-star review or a five-star review? We get it, you're a great pizza place, but pick up the phone and do something about it. We'll order from Terry's in the future.

We love Mama Maria’s as our usual pizza pick-up/delivery. Their pizza is consistently delicious and they are very timely in their orders. Mama Maria’s also helped us celebrate finding out that our second baby is a girl through a pizza reveal! They were so kind, helpful, and thoughtful through the process and treated us like gold! It made the experience of finding out so fun and solidified us as customers for life. Thanks Mama Maria’s!

It's easily my favorite pizza, I've been going to Mama Maria's for many years now. The owners are good people and they've never served me anything but high quality, delicious pizza. The panzerotti is well worth trying and they do a solid job with their pastas and Italian Beef. Great stuff all around.

Love their Thursday special of pasta with red sauce. Their Mariana and meat sauces are so good! We get it with our pizza every week. Mama Maria's is also so great about having an easy pick up. I hope they never change it even after things go back to normal. It makes it so easy especially if you have kids and don't want to get everyone out of the car.

If I could put a minus I would. Placed an order,was told it would be about an hour. After an hour I called to see how much longer and was told "well we got busy " Not I'm sorry !Well not only am I surprised they were busy,because the way they treat there customers who would go back ! Very disappointing. Way more restaurants to order from. They may want start treating there customers with more respect. SAD !

Got takeout from here. Got a large pizza with 3 veggies for $30. The large is huge! It's cut up into squares so does get messy to eat. But it was fully loaded, the veggies under the cheese. We loved it, would definitely have it again. We ate it over 2 meals bc it was so big (it's supposed to feed 4-6 I think). Recommend!

Babysitting the niece and nephew and they mentioned this was their fave pizza joint in Elmhurst. Ordered delivery - took off one star because the delivery time was over an hour.
Ordered the following:
- chicken wings - nephew loves spicy food and loved them
- garlic bread - it was alright
- pizzas - ordered the classic pizzas and they were really good

We came in as a party of 10 and had the most amazing meal! Bruschetta, lasagna, pappardella, gnocci, caprese salad, pizza, Caesar salad and more! Service was prompt, attentive and the food was authentic! We are fat and happy. The prices were a bargain, proportions big enough for everyone to bring home leftovers. We were in town from Michigan for the Pat Roche and Windy City Feis, picked, Mama Maria's off of a Google list. We're so happy we found this local mom and pop treasure! We'll be back! They do most their business as take away. But have a small dining room that I'm sure will expand!!!! You

Awesome pizza and awesome service.
Just picked the closest pizza spot and was definitely not disappointed. By far one of the best pizza's I've had. The ratio of crust to cheese to pepperoni was perfect. The service was also great, the employees were pleasant and on point, they did not hover but approached with impecable timing. The environment was casual, friendly and family oriented. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area to stop by this little gem.

This really surprised me. My friend really wanted bacon on the pizza and I really wanted Italian sausage so we got both. And then we added some eggplant because why not? The 16" ran about $30 after delivery, but I think it was well worth it. The ingredients were all great on its own. Sure, the bacon maybe overpowered everything else and I probably wouldn't get the same toppings next time, but you could still tell everything was fresh and better quality. I loved how the eggplant came in little rectangles. The dough was great as was the sauce. Had I do it over again, I would do
