Slowest. delivery. ever.
90 mins to get 1 pizza 4 blocks? Yeah, I should have picked it up, but I was stuck on a conference call.
Lesson learned, not worth the wait. Very average pizza but good onion rings. I'm sorry that I cheated on Beauty's Pizza.

A couple weeks ago two of Jessi's friends from college (a married couple) were visiting us here in Somerville. Jessi and her girlfriend went out to go shopping, leaving us guys to fend for ourselves before meeting them in the North End for dinner. Not knowing how else to pass the time we decided to have our own little pub crawl from Porter Square to Quincy Market. So we headed down Beacon St. towards Boston stopping at every bar on the way. When we got to Abbey Lounge there was a guy who had just come from Mama Gina's with two pies and was giving away slices to everyone in the bar. We availed ourselves and discovered that they were surprisingly good. This was my first Mama Gina's experience.
Then, the other night, we decided to order pizza. So I chose Mama Gina's again. This time, sadly, our pizza was a little too cold when it go to us and so not all that good. But I still hold out hope!
I'll need to go there and get a fresh pie before I can give my final review, but based on my experience so far this is a damned good pizza place, especially for Boston. I have high hopes for this place meeting my extremely high pizza standards.

Since we've discovered Mama Gina's, my roommates and I have ordered from there weekly.
I usually get the grilled chicken wrap. Here's the thing: they can make anything your little heart desires. The first time we ordered, we didn't even look at a menu... i get my grilled chicken wrap just the way I want :)
We've been ordering by phone for delivery and last week went into the restaurant to pick it up. It's your typical greasy joint...
The point is, the food is delicious, but the decor leaves a lot to be desired - so take it to go or get it delivered!

Pretty decent pizza-- thin crispy crust, good sauce, not too greasy, good size slices. Quick ,friendly service, and they take cards, so you don't have to worry about having ca$h on you. it didn't blow my mind, but it was definitely yummy.

Mama Gina's makes some great pizza, it's thin, crisp & the sauce is very flavorful. We went there yesterday for some slices and my bf got the chicken finger plate. The chicken fingers & the fries that came with it were very good. The side of BBQ sauce wasn't anything to write home about, but the chicken didn't need any extras to be tasty.
They have lots of sides, including jalepeno poppers, onion rings garlic bread, etc. Oh, and be sure to try their deep fried ravioli, I haven't found many places in the area that make this side, and Mama Gina's does an excellent job. It comes with a side of their marinara.
If you are not in the mood for pizza, they also make a fine sub or wrap with any topping imaginable. I love their steak & cheese. They make salads as well, but I've never tried them.
They deliver, but there is a $1 delivery fee.

Good cheap eat! Nice take out place in the neighborhood. Nice thin pizza with great taste topping, which has much better taste than Union Square Pizza across the street.
Decent pizza place - all the usual menu items that you'd expect in a pizza/sub shop.
The pizza is quite good, but nothing earth-shattering.
The staff at Mama Gina's are always friendly, and prices are pretty standard for this sort of establishment.

The best slice of pizza I've had in ten years in Boston.
I've never gotten a sandwich here, I've never ordered anything to go or for delivery, and still I give them five stars. Why? The slices are full size yet thin, the crust bordering on crisp, the sauce and cheese even and restrained in their amounts. It reminds me of the wood-oven pies of New Jersey, a delicious thin slice that you just want to sprinkle a little oregano on and love every moment you spend together.

Wow - I must have some bad pizza karma going on, because my experience was drastically different. Really hoped to like this place because it's close and cheap and reviews below are good. Looks like a hole in the wall and the menu is sparse and not professional looking - would have been a charming neighborhood find if it was at all good. Large pizza was quite small with hardly any sauce and zero flavor. Crust was thin but chewy. Two stars because the guys were nice and they cook the chicken topping to order rather than pulling pre-cooked stuff out of a bucket.

Go Classic Rock Pizza!
This is hands down the best pizza in Union Square. It's thin crust, a little doughy but good.
Update: The sauce is a little sweet and a lot garlic. The crust is quite crispy and sturdy for thin crust pizza. The cheese is OK but doesn't really have the flavor to match the sauce and crust.
