With wait times exceeding an hour during weekends, Mama’s Too is one of the most popular pizza spots on the Upper West Side. An extension of Mama’s Pizzeria, Mama’s Too is tasked with bringing a family-run pizza joint into the next generation.
Established in 2017 by Frank Tuttolomondo (whose grandmother owned Mama’s Pizzeria), the family’s unquestionable pizza-making knowledge goes back decades. Not to be outdone, Tuttolomondo set out to perfect the family recipe with his new outpost, to much fanfare from locals.
The Sicilian-style square slices steal the show. What stands out is the Angry Nona is my favorite, the combo of hot salami with Calabrian chili oil & hot honey hits the spot every time. The only drawback is the lack of seating, plan to eat your slice on the go, the inevitably long lines are worthwhile.
Unpopular opinion. I’ll die on this hill, coal-fired > wood-fired > gas oven, and I don’t care who disagrees.
