7 reviews for Mamma Lisa's Pizza House
Growing up in Connecticut, I'm a pretty tough critic when it comes to pizzas. Having Pepe's in New Haven and Little Rendezvous in Meriden as the gold standards, I wasn't sure how impressed I was going to be by Mamma Lisa's when my roommate recommended we get a couple pies from there the other night.
I'm happy to admit I was wrong. This place impressed me, and it's the finest pizza I've had since moving to the area. We got a meatball and sausage pizza, as well as a plain cheese pizza, and both of them were excellent. The toppings on the meatball and sausage were plentiful and fresh, and the plentiful cheese piled on the other was definitely satisfying.
I'd hope Mamma Lisa's would consider using Foodler or GrubHub, as I often prefer the convenience of ordering online to calling in an order (just to ensure that there's no miscommunication and to get my total right away), but I'd pick up the phone again to order from here. These pies definitely beat anything else I've tried, and I'm a customer who hopes to soon return.
One of my favorite spots in the area to get a good, thin, slice of delicious pizza.
I'm from CT and grew up on Dominic and Pia's in Waterbury, and when lucky enough to score a slice, Sally's and Pepe's in New Haven. Those make for some high slice-standards.
After moving to a new area, one of my favorite things to do is hunt down the best slice.
Well, as of now, Mamma Lisa's has my vote in Somerville.

This place sucks. I now hate the person below who said this place has good Italian subs. Yeah, good if you enjoy half eaten subs out of a garbage can, asshole. Stale bread, soggy veggies and crappy meats. I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and not order that crappy sub.

Stopped in for a few slices of 'roni. Normally I go up the road to Pini's but since I just had them the other night and I like to change it up, I checked out Lisa's since I heard good things.
The slices were probably the greasiest things I've ever had (and I'll probably regret later) however they were good. The dough was fresh and the sauce and other ingredients were quality, which makes a big difference (this is why a Papa Gino's pizza will always suck, because they use substandard frozen McPizza ingredients).
So, I would recommend checking this place out if you are in the area and need your slice fix. A decent option, stop by if you are curious and judge for yourself.
Their White Roman pizza is my favorite, I usually ask for sauce on the side for dipping. They use Pastene Tomatoes, and my grandmother swore by Pastene. I can see why.
Their steak and cheese is good, but it can't compare to Leone's which is right down the street. If you order it, make sure you ask for extra cheese, because they do not provide enough. Also the size of the sandwich is lacking compared to Leone's. Overall Leone's is a better option.

Good stuff. Being from Colorado, I always get a kick of how they add an r to the end of lisa - Mamma Lisers - when they answer the phone. That aside, I love their sandwiches (especially the Italian) and their pepper and sausage pizza is delish. Good neighborhood place that is really inexpensive
