If you haven't been to Mama's Brick Oven Pizzeria & Restaurant at 30 Deer Shore Square in North…read moreBabylon, you're missing out on one of the South Shore's finest Italian dining experiences. Whether you're popping in for a quick slice or settling in for a full sit-down dinner, Mama's consistently delivers -- and then some. Let's start with the basics: the grandma pizza is exceptional. Thick, pillowy, perfectly crisped on the bottom with a rich, flavorful sauce -- it's everything a grandma pie should be. But don't stop there. The chicken parm hero is, without exaggeration, one of the best you'll find on Long Island. Generous, satisfying, and packed with flavor, it's the kind of sandwich that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. For those seeking something more elevated, the chicken francese is a standout -- light, lemony, and beautifully balanced. And the Bolognese sauce is a slow-simmered masterpiece, rich and deeply savory, the kind that makes you want to mop the plate clean with a piece of bread. What truly sets Mama's apart, though, is the people. Manager Nicole runs the front of house with warmth and genuine care, making every guest feel like a regular from the moment they walk in. Server Carol is an absolute delight -- attentive, friendly, and the kind of server who makes the whole experience feel effortless and personal. Mama's is the rare restaurant that works for every occasion. Date night, birthday celebration, graduation dinner, anniversary -- or just a Tuesday when you need a great slice. The atmosphere is welcoming, the food is consistently outstanding, and the staff makes you want to come back. Simply put: Mama's is a neighborhood treasure.

Highly recommend making a stop here if you're in the area--I'll definitely be back to try more!

We live in Dix Hills and this is our go-to pick up spot after our commute home from the city. It's located right near both the Deer Park or Wyandanch LIRR station, which makes it very convenient. We call in our order as we get off the train and by the time we get there the food is ready and delicious! Our go to pizza is the buffalo slice and grandma slice. My husband and I love spicy food, so if we go the past route we pick up Penne Calabrese! The portions are large and you cannot beat the price for the quality. read more

Whenever we go to Long Island, we make sure we stop at Cafe Dolce Vita. Service is excellent, family run shop, old school values. We love and have been to both locations. (hence why I am leaving this review on both pages) Ignore the poor reviews, if you are asking for extras of things, EXPECT TO PAY. Where do you go that specialty pies or extra sauces/dressings/sides of things are free? Grow up. If you want yummy food, great atmosphere and friendly service, this is your spot. read more

Cafe Dolce Vita was a great stop overall. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. We ordered regular pizza slices, and they were fresh, flavorful, and definitely hit the spot. The garlic knots, however, were a bit disappointing and weren't our favorite. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back for the pizza. If you're in the area and looking for a solid slice with friendly service, it's worth checking out. read more
