375 Épinettes Ave, Orléans, ON K1E 3E6, Canada
We have tried all the pizza chains in Ottawa and nothing beats Mama Rosa’s pizza. We especially love the crust, it is airy, so tasty and easy to digest. We have recommended them to friends and family and everyone has a new favourite pizza place.
Best pizza in Orleans. Staff always friendly. Prices good too. Will continue to be my go to spot.
The pizza is great! The dough, the tomato sauce and the garlic dipping sauce are homemade. They have good deals, our favorite is the large 3 toppings pizza + 3 cans of pop for 24.99, and we like that, when ordering the 2 for 1 deal, we get to divide the toppings however we want (like if we want one with just pepperoni, we can add the 2nd topping on the other pizza instead). We're glad we found this place.
I come from halifax, where they are very serious about pizza. This is a true 5 star pizza. Every ingredient is top quality, and the sauce is a little bit spicy in a good way. They make everything in house, even the garlic dip, which is much smoother and less tart tasting than other garlic dips. They will be getting to know me better!
A very nice family restaurant with great food. Excellent pizza! We tried their Greek and Meat Lovers pizzas, and I definitely recommend both. They serve pizza with their own dipping sauce which is really delicious. Good service, too.
I had been a faithful customer for almost 7 years and in the last few years I had became aware of Mama Rosa Pizzeria's questionable practices. The costs listed on the website and in the brochure varied significantly from what they charge you upfront. The pricing quotes they provided when ordering were likewise approximately $50 higher than their original quotes. The food portions do not meet the criteria for the pricing charged. I had spoken with others about this establishment, and they had reported similar experiences. Overall, dodgy workers and business; would not recommend! Save your wallet and look elsewhere!
I was pleasantly surprised. Honestly the best pizza I’ve had in Orleans. I’m glad people posted pictures of their pizza in their reviews otherwise I would have never stopped by. The dough is thick like a good piece of bread and perfectly cooked.
A very nice and unassuming small local pizzeria (along with other offerings). I had a 9-inch steak delight and it was great. Well prepared and well cooked with fresh ingredients. Very flavourful and a nice crunchy crust. They sell by the slice which is a great option for lunch. My one recommendation would be a more flavourful sauce. Very nice staff and ample parking outfront. I highly recommend a visit.
Great food and affordable! real cheese not plastic.
Best pizza around fallingbrook
Fantastic staff and food.
The food is amazing i highly recommend ordering from here you wont be disappointed
Very sleazy and pricy business. The staff members have repeatedly defrauded me and others I knew; its unfortunate when this happens because I was a devoted customer. Will not be returning; they have lost a committed consumer.
terrible service and the owner is very rude.
Best in orleans
They have great pizza, but don t make the mistake of ordering what they call their specials, wow what a mistake, their specials so call special pizza, does not come in regular pizza boxs, just plain white box there name not on it , plus what they called their special pizza, well your better go get 2frozen pizza everywhere, or pizza pizza , they lock awful and taste like , can t say the word, if they re not going to give the same great pizza that usually make , why even bother whit so called specials ,
Non greasy pizza. Great local place. New pizza spot.
Absolutely love their pizza. James is super friendly and very helpful. Ordered some pizza for my staff and they all loved it.
Great pizza and apps. A little on the pricey side but who isn t these days. Got the 2-4-1 special and cheese sticks. Family loved it.
Nice people and great food but REALLY upset as an order for 2 medium pizzas (a special which apparently now you have to specify) that used to be a decent price at $36 this time was over $60. Was charged an additional $20+ for not specifying the 2 pizzas was the 2 for 1 special. IF YOU ORDER 2 SPECIFY YOU WANT THE 2 FOR 1 or this may happen to you
Best Pizza in Ottawa. Great staff and great food.
Love their pizza. Great service they work hard. Food
Great customer service! Great food!!!
Best pizza , subs , pasta ,spaghetti in town
Wow, what an amazingly delicious PIZZA I am speechless on how fabulously delicious their pizza is. From the fresh dough to tasty sauce to perfectly cooked pizza. Thank you Mana Rosa! Highly recommend it
Best pizza in town!!
Have been looking for a good pizza place since Lorenzos in Orleans closed. Found it!
Descent pizza
Parking: In a plaza so plenty of spots Food
Best pizza in town. Dont tip in advance if you want good service.
Best pizza spot around, amazing calzone too! The best garlic knots I ve found locally. Worth the money and worth any time spent driving there! Seriously try it out, don t think you will be disappointed.
The pizza is amazing
I will always come to Mama Rosa for their spaghetti, it s been a family tradition since 2010 and it will not stop anytime soon!
We have lived in Orleans for almost 4 years and have never found a pizza place we like (we moved from a city with great pizza, so we re spoiled). We finally tried Mama Rosa and can t believe we didn t start there. One of the only pizzas that actually comes well done when ordered that way (cheese is actually browned), great crust, and the sauce is so flavourful! This is now our go-to. My only complaint is that the pizzas are fairly small for the price.
I was very impressed with their Pizza. The dough was very fresh and the sauce was delicious. I work in the area and will return when we get pizza for lunch in the future.
Service is great
Always top notch! Always order catered Pizza events from here. James is great!
Misleading. The three items special excludes some items such as extra cheese and they do not warn you, not impressed.
Revised: they have been amazing since our first review..... nothing but love We have ordered from Mama Rosa for over 4 years (3 - 5 times per month) and each time was through Skip the Dishes. Tonight will be our final time utilizing this restaurant. We placed an order, waited 1.5 hours and had to drive down to the restaurant to see what was happening because they were not answering the phones! When I got to the front desk, was told your order is ready and was the next one out the door for delivery, would I like to take it now .... so I paid for the food, delivery and tip only to pick up my own order... no excuses given, no apology, just blank looks. Food was always amazing, delivery lad is amazing, but tonight was too much to swallow, pardon the pun. All I wanted was communication and an answer to why the delay, but never got one.... all the best in the future, but you will no longer see our business.
Pizza was OK, its better than Pizza Pizza but for the price Im feeling like it should have tasted amazing
Never, ever had a bad experience! I usually get delivery, always fast, always hot, always fresh...I used to work pizza, Id rather have theirs!!
Taste great!
Absolutely phenomenal. Quickest service I ve ever received for delivery and the food is fantastic. Generally have had pizza here for work, always great, staff super kind and friendly. Def my personal go to from now on. Pizza is on point and wings flipping good . Thanks guys y all are the best!!
really good pizzas for a reasonable price
Ordered delivery this evening they are fast and the driver was extremely friendly and patient pizza tastes delicious and the cheese curds were the best Ive had will definitely order again
Very pleasant staff. Always ready to take orders. Baked spaghetti is to die for.
Best pizza in Orleans, hands-down. John and James make their dough and sauces completely from scratch so you can be guaranteed an fresh and awesome pizza each time. Keep up the great work guys!
Ignore the Local Guide this place is amazing. Ive been here many times and the pizza (and more importantly the sauce) is amazing.
Fantastic food , fast delivery. Everything was hot. Thank you Moma Rosas
Always have friendly service when ordering from here. Food is always ready so quickly and they have even thrown in a free 2L drink sometimes. Food is delicious!
Amazing service! Pizza is underrated GOOD
Im gutted. Theyve changed their ingredients, for the worse. I feel like they use cheddar cheese now to bulk up the mozzarella which is a big no no. I ordered an XL Canadian 3 weeks ago and as soon as I saw the pizza I knew it was different. Sure enough it tasted different too. I put it down to a one off. I ordered again yesterday, exact same order and unfortunately exact same result. As is so often the case prices go up (approx $3 for the XL) and the quality goes down. If you can folks, please go back to what you were doing pre 2022. Ill give it one more go in a few weeks. Fingers crossed!!
Great pizza. Thxs John!
We decided to try their pizza deal and we found the pizza to have a wonderful flavor. Our family does not like thick crust. The curse at Mama Rosas was a perfect thickness. We also like the boneless wings. Good meaty bites.
Very ignorant staff, not professional at all I will never go back to this location in Orleans! Worst service ever.
Ordered a BBQ chicken pizza for pickup. I am not too picky about pizza, but a good judge was my 2 years old that liked it and she never eats pizza. I enjoyed it as well - fluffy soft dough, not greasy and generous toppings.
Great pizza choices if you are in Orleans. They often have deals and can t miss out on their home made garlic sauce.
Food is cheap and good. Pizza has a real interesting sauce. I enjoy it
Used to be good pizza. They have gone downhill over the past couple year. I think they pre-make pepperoni pizzas and freeze them. When you order they add the extra toppings you wanted. If i am wrong about this then the it should be a 1 star review, otherwise ill give them a fair 3 star.
Awesome pizza!
Jonny and James are the best. If you think Gabriel lasagna is good you havent tried theres. Best lasagna ice ever had in a restaurant and the service and friendly faces from the owners alone is worth going back. But if you love really good food than its win win. Respect to Jonny and James from Mike and Charlie. Charlie is my puppy... Did I mention they leave water out for dogs and give them treats. I think Charlie would give them 10 stars
Terrible, a rip-off and incredibly rude owner. Ordered a pair of 3-topping medium pizzas. Already premium priced, the mediums looked more like smalls, the toppings were shockingly sparse and the crust seemed to be a pre-made grocery store style. Truthfully, any $8 frozen pizza would be a better dining experience. I called to complain and the owner told me of course there weren t a lot of toppings. We re not required to give a lot of toppings on the 2-for-1 deals. I said your website and menu doesn t say that and he said we re not required to tell you that. Stay far away. Do not waste your money.
This pizza place was one of the best I ve ever been to. The pizza was amazing and so fresh. The quality of the food and prices were great. The owner was very nice as well. I would definitely recommend this to others.
Best pizza in town
I am a Pizza guy and love try from different places to see where in Orleans makes the best Pizza . Well I can say MamaRosa Pizza is best one we ate . It s time you try it you won t be sorry ...
They wont answer a simple question over the phone ! Seems too much to ask
We wanted to try somewhere new and decided to try momma Rosas for the first time. We didnt even try the pizza and were already highly disappointed. The pizza arrived stone cold and we had to reheat in the oven. We also asked for mild wings and received them with hot sauce. When we called momma Rosas to advise them we were told they could deliver another pizza but only in 1 hour. We couldnt wait the hour for a new pizza so the girl on the line says well then thanks for letting us know in a sarcastic voice and hangs up. I dont recommend at all.
This is my absolute favourite pizza place! The dough is so light and delicious and the ingredients are always fresh. The homemade garlic sauce is always a great touch as well :)
My favorite pizza in all of Orleans. Always great service, fresh delicious dishes. Highly recommended.
The food is to die for the Lasagna is otherworldly staff is amazing 100% love this place
Delicious food my reccomendation are the Mama Rosa burger platter or meat lovers pizza. Garlic sauce best in town easily
We order from mama rosas weekly and it never disappoints! We re lucky to have it so close to us!
Great service, and pizza!
The lasagna was excellent
Really good pizza, dough was tasty not too thick and good amount of toppings. Though the staff seemed sad not very interactive. Will try again in the future for sure.
Great food and friendly service
Little bit skimpy with the cheese and toppings. The dough and crust are absolutely delicious and so is the garlic dipping sauce. I feel like pizza pizza puts more toppings than this place. Only complaint I have though.
Very good pizza! Fresh & delicious. The staff is friendly!
Amazing food and great service
Not a bad pizza for a change up.
Got overcharged and when i asked was not given i justified excuse taking my business elsewhere too bad one of my go to spots but when you try and steal my hard earned money thats it
Best food around..friendly staff and my Pug Lady loves those treats she gets when we walk by..thank guys..you are great!!
Great prices
Has to be a top 3 pizza spot in Orleans. If you grew up on Colonnade pizza but wished it was a little less greasy, this is place for you.
After reading some of the reviews we were looking forward to ordering, but getting a soggy pizza (look at how soaked the box is) and dry wings were very disappointing. The pizza even smelt like plastic (like they put it hot on a cutting board). This obviously isn t a standard practice based on the reviews but this was a first and likely a last for me.
Great pizza, Great price and good service. My go to pizza place in orleans.
So. This place has genuinely delicious pizza. It tastes like home made from a family that has been doing this for decades. The dough makes had an undertone of sweetness, the sauce tastes and feels freshly made and they are generous with the toppings but not overboard. Started getting our pizzas here in the spring and I cant imagine getting them anywhere else at this point.
Their walking special is a killer deal. Their pizza is made entirely from scratch and it shows. Quality sauce, dough, cheese...been there lots and will keep on eating there.
Great pizza, great dip, great people. Thanks, guys!
Great pizza! Has quickly become our go to pizza place, every aspect of it is delicious. Admittedly, we werent very impressed with the wings though.
Excellent food. The owner here is awesome. Known of him for years now. Food is always freshly made and delicious. Rather well balanced pizzas, good sauce/cheese ratio. Highly recommended. Sauce has a touch of spice. Kids aren t a fan, one of my favorites.
Always hot and delicious
After eating here, I realized that I havent really enjoyed pizza in a very long time. Its perfection, highly recommend. We wont be ordering from anywhere else, ever again. Damn.
Delicious pizza, great service, garlic dipping sauce is really good!
These people are good people serving good food. I enjoyed the personalities the first time I went in to order (keep in mind while reading mixed reviews that people get what they give - I dont know these people but they striked me as down to earth) The second time it was an online order, they called me to confirm the order because they thought I was new (I understood/appreciated it) They accepted the delivery even though I am a bit far down the hill...which is great for me! This third time ordering- delivery to me was faster then expected :)! All three times the food was yummy! The delivery guys seemed happy and were friendly enough without pretending.
Been coming here for years. Love it. Great mom and pop pizza shop
Great pickup deals. Always on time. Consistent quality. Excellent pie.
It was edible.
Awesome pizza, great service. Super friendly. This is my new favourite place!
Walked by and wasn t even going to buy but as I m also in restaurant, their enthusiasm when I walked by the open door and they thought I was coming in, I went in and bought anyway. These guys are the definition of a well run mom and pop shop. Great food, great crew. Give the these guys a chance before trying a big chain like dominoes or pizza pizza. Support the local business! Love these guys and will be back!
Very friendly staff , pizza was delicious , cooked to perfection ...
Pizzas are losing quality then i ordered zucchini sticks and was very disapointed, 10,99$ for very wet and empty zucchini sticks!!!
Decided to try this place out for the first time last night. I took advantage of one of their deals that was for pizza and wings and I also got some of their cheesey garlic bread. The pizza was not too bad, it was a little too greasy, the garlic bread was great, but the wings were dry and seemed over cooked. Plus they didnt get my order right. I asked for honey garlic and they gave me a tiny plastic thing of medium sauce. It was maybe good for 5 or 6 wings when it came with 15 wings. I was really not impressed. I also ordered 2 hours in advance and asked to come for 5:30. I can understand that it may be a busier time and I can accept it being a little late, but not by half an hour. I may decide to try this place again, but it wont be for awhile.
This is the only place my husband will order from! Great pies!
Great place, great prices and great pizza! For a person with dairy intolerance they have great dairy free pizza aswell!
The best pizza and garlic dip sauce in Orleans. It s not even close.
Mama Rosas is hands down my favourite place to get a cheese pizza in Orleans. Its the easiest pizza to make but also one of the hardest to get right in terms of gooeyness and crunchiness of the cheese. Ive ordered their pizza so many times and theyre always consistently great (looks like photo below). Ive also ordered other pizzas from them and theyre just as consistently good. Not to mention it always comes with garlic sauce. Recently I ordered two pizzas and the woman taking the order drew balloons on the boxes to celebrate my birthday after I mentioned it to her when I was placing the order. They really go above and beyond. Way better than any other pizza place Ive ordered from in Orleans. Would recommend them to anyone!
I go in for a slice of pizza at 530pm and no slices left . Very disappointing you can t serve your customers at prime time!
Pizza was absolutely delicious, I ll be coming back!!!
Amazing every time.
Amazing pizza, friendly staff, and reasonable prices.
Excellent tasting food.
Tried them for the 1st time. I ordered a Mama Rosa lasagna and it was delicious! Cant wait to try their pizza. I picked it up and the service was fast and friendly.
Pizza not even cooked was sticking on pizza box never buy there again
Hands down THE best pizza in Ottawa. Fresh, abundant ingredients and the garlic dipping sauce is a must. I love that I can order and pay online and my daughter can just stop and pick it up. The Greek salad is an amazing add on too!
I used to LOVE Mama Rosas pizza. Their sauce was delicious dough was perfect and just the right amount of cheese. For a while during the pandemic we didnt eat any takeout. After a few months in to the pandemic we decided to finally order some takeout and we decided to go with our favorite pizza place - Mama Rosa. Unfortunately something had changed. The dough was very thin and cheese was barely present. We thought maybe we got it on a bad day. Nope, was just the same when ordered a second time. Because weve always adored this pizza, we thought wed give it another shot and just order extra cheese. This was the final straw. I paid close to $40 for an xlarge plain pizza with extra cheese and we felt ripped off. There was barely the amount of cheese wed get on it before and we paid WAY too much. I will never be going back.
Good pi za it was my first time and it wont be the last
Great pizza! Friendly staff.
Thin pizza
Awful
Delicious food, and the best pizza in Ottawa.
Good pizza good food!!
Mama Rosa Spaghetti and Lasagna are amazing. We also enjoy their Spaghetti with Meatballs.
A popular friday treat destination. Love the pasta, or burgers, or house speciality pizzas. Quick také aways
Great pizza and location but only down fall is that my order was 10 cents away from getting free drinks and was refused! So I had to go to another store to get drinks which cost me more! Unfortunately I will be going somewhere else that my service is worth more than 10 cents!
I think Mama Rosa is a great pizza place
Worst customer service I have ever experienced. I called to make an order and the guy was literally laughing in my face and lacked all the care in the world to help with with my request.
The pizza was awesome and the dudes working there were really friendly. Apparently they want you to try their hamburgers. I might do just that the next time around! gg.
The first time I ate Mama Rosa Pizza was about a week ago, and before ordering it I decided to read the latest reviews. Honestly I didnt know what to expect because the reviews were very polarized. In the end, I ate one of the best pepperoni pizzas Ive ever had and Ive tried many places including St Louis, House of Goergie Sorentos, Gabriels and Colonnade. Im not saying Mama Rosas is the best out of them all BUT its definitely on the same level thats for sure. If you want delicious local pizza in Orleans, this is a solid bet. I went back for my second time earlier today, currently wolfing down the deliciousness.
The best pizza in Orleans. Hands down. Gabriels used to be good, now Moma Rosa is much better.
The garlic sauce was not good
Hello I just tried to order a pizza for a few of us at work here at Sir Wil high school. When i gave the address the person asked me three times if this was a High school i repeated back three times yes. He then put me on hold then someone else came on I asked what is the issue with delivering to a high school? I was told we do not normally deliver to schools then told me he didnt like my attitude and hung up. I will be adding this complaint to every site i can find with your name attached. All i wanted to do was order dinner and i get told This. I thank you for the kind words and I shall return the favor.
First time ordering from here, wont be the last. Great pizza, great service!
Great pizza. I may be mildly addicted to their large pepperoni special.
Went for a 13 dollar walk in. Ordered bana peppers as a topping. Cost me 10 extra dollers for banana rings and when i asked to change it since cheese was 13$ and had jalepenos at home..rip off. Pizza was decent. Workers rude
Cheese sticks are 10$ they are a total rip off, 8 very small cheese sticks. Other than that tho good food.
Best pizza in Orleans.
My default pizza place. The dip they have with it is unique and very good.
Awesome pizza. Have been coming here regularly for 3 years since I came to orleans and I never get sick of it.
The staff are awesome and the food is just as great- if not better (but that s hard to beat)! John and James are some pizza wizards!
Food is always delicious
I ordered a medium pizza with chicken and mushrooms and green olives. The pizza were well cooked. They use this precooked frozen chicken on their pizza. The texture of the chicken was spongy. I called and had a chance to speak to a manager. This man refused my offer to bring back this pizza so he could try the spongy meat. He was extremely difficult to talk to. Sadly it was my first time and I can say my last.
Amazing pizza! Great, friendly guys!
Awesome pizza, delicious homemade pizza sauce. I just found out about this pizza place and I love it. I try to come back every week!
Great pizzeria with friendly staff and very homely environment.
Ordered a Chicken Cesear Wrap with fries from you guys, perfect amount of cesear dressing! One of the best wraps I ve had, and the fries were very well done. Such big portions! However, was kind of disappointed that for the price of $9.95, a large order of cheese sticks only included 8 of them.
Love the pizza here. Delicious sauce and dip. Great staff and Owner. Fantastic service for 11 years.
Very disappointed in delivery. From order confirmation to payment was an hour and a half and pizza was lukewarm.
Pizza is delicious, made to order fast. I finally found my favourite pizza place in Orleans!
Best pizza in Orleans!
BEST pizzas by far in all of Ottawa! And if youve never tried their garlic sauce youve never lived.
Usually good food, but man.. 8$ for lettue stale croutons and a bit of sauce on top call that a ceasar salad? Also your spegathi sauce taste burnt.. Over price for what it is. But pizza ia good
Great food
Great pizza, many options to choose from on the menu. I called to pick up the food and based on my experience the customer service was great, the atmosphere during my brief visit was inviting and as I mentioned the food was good. Id order from there again!
Worst pizza I think Ive ever eaten under cooker
One of my favourites go to pizza places, highly recommend and dont forget to ask for the home made garlic dip...
Amazing Pizza! Amazing food! Look no further Orleans, this is the only pizza you need to know! Amazing service from John, James, Skylar and the rest of the team! #mamrosaspizza #mamasboy #ottawasbestpizza #bestakeoutorleans
Always Delicious
Finally found a place like Montreal Pizza
How this place got 4.4 stars I dont know. For those saying this is the best pizza in Ottawa do yourself a favor and drive to Vanier and try Louis Pizzeria. Pizza in lukewarm, the chicken is processed and cold found a moldy pepper on a slice. I want my money back, 30$ for this? I should have gone to Gabriel
Very good pizza with the best garlic dipping sauce. A bit expensive but very tasty.
Best pizza place in town, hands down!
Meat lover pizza and their lasagna a definite A+. Staff is super.
Since moving to Orleans 3 years ago , we only get our pizza from Mama Rosas. Its the best pizza in town and the staff are extremely friendly.
Ive been going to this place for 8 years. Definitely the best pizza in Orleans! Staff is great, wait is short, everything is fresh. The sauce tastes amazing, so does the garlic dip and they arent stingy on the toppings. If you get a chance, try them out!
Their pepperoni pizza is amazing
Eaten here a handful of times. Local and convenient for Orleans. Pizza was consistently great. Staff is friendly as well and would normally chat with the front staff/cooks while waiting if I arrived early.
Super good ! Always fresh !
Excellent pizza !!
Pasta sauce isnt the greatest and they put way too much of it, fast delivery and very friendly staff. Also very well priced. Will have to try the pizza next time.
Excellent food!
Home made garlic sauce is great. Pizza is awesome. Great deal on walk in special
Great pizza! Not greasy and all very fresh ingredients
Stopped in for a takeout after a long day of softball. The pizza was fresh, very good. The staff were so nice, very friendly
Best pizza in Orleans. Might be a tad more than your average chain, but worth it 100% of the time. Keep up the great food!
Poutine tasted horrible
Take out / Delivery Great pizza!
