    Meat calzone
    Stephanie S.

    Came here on a Saturday during a lunch break from class. The employees are very friendly with some jokes up their sleeves (gave me a teeny cup instead of a bigger water cup, and gave me a teeny calzone before putting the big one on the plate). All in good fun! It was easy to make the order and they have restrooms in the back. I got the meat calzone. and while it was delicious, the center of the calzone was barely warm. It was definitely stuffed full, which I'm certain makes it difficult to cook evenly. This is the reason for removal of one star. I would 100% come back here for another calzone and to try out their pizzas. They had 6 or so tables to sit at which was nice and a soda machine with a water tap on it as well. They are in a strip mall and while it does get busy, there should always be parking available.

    Half godfather half cheese

    If you're craving really good pizza, this is the place to go. We ordered half Godfather half cheese and it was delicious. We didn't even call ahead, just walked in, and within 10 minutes our pizza was ready. Hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Next time we'll definitely ask for extra toppings, but even as is, it was still very good. 10/10, will absolutely be back!

    Gianni's is my go to spot for a quick lunch. Their service is friendly, quick, and the prices are very affordable for the amount of food that you get. The pizza is absolutely fantastic with a nice tangy sauce, plenty of cheese and pepperoni under the cheese (which I've found that I like). The also sell by the slice and can have them ready very quick. There is a decent amount of seating (booths) with chips and drink options. Check them out if you're in the area.

    What was left of the small, cheese NY Style and ChIcago Style pizzas after we all had our full.

    This place is FABULOUS! We dined in; there is seating for 18-20 people max. We arrived near the end of the lunch rush and got the last table available. We ordered a small NY Style and small Chicago Style pizza for 3 of us. There was enough left over for lunch tomorrow too. The pizza was absolutely amazing! Fresh, hot, and delicious. The service was just as amazing as the food. Everyone was nice, friendly, and cheerful. I will definitely return here!

    There is a Pizza Hut and subway next to this amazing small business that has been here for over 20 years. How it will be a decision for anyone is beyond me. Great pizza and people!

    Absolutely love this place! It reminds me of New Jersey and New York. My kids love the thin crust cheese pizza. We have made this a family staple every Tuesday night when a large is half off. The kids love it and reminds me of being back home in New York and in Jersey. The staff is amazing. Always greeting me with a friendly smile. If you'd like to eat in, there are plenty of tables and you can order and sit down. Go once a week well worth it.

    Pizza was average, pepperoni was decent, sauce was too sweet. Crust was not thin like NY pizza.

So, it was a no-brainer to choose them as the venue for our wedding's welcome party. The pricing was very reasonable for such a large space and served as the bar tab for all our guests. We opted for in-house catering, and the pizza and wings were delicious as always. The staff was super accommodating and wonderful, making the food service, bar, and audio/visual a smooth experience. Our guests had an absolute blast and it was a great way to introduce so many of the people in our lives to one of our favorite Maryland institutions. Thank you Crooked Crab!

Welcoming and friendly even when I tried to order at the bar instead going to the place at the end to order as the sign clearly states. Sorry I was born in Wisconsin. The wood fired Meat Lovers Pizza was tasty and enough for two. We had a pretzel order and the mustard was spot on. Our beer choice was Stringray Mysterio a very good stout. Also myself the navigator needed and wanted a Mead. So Pina Colada Crush was a perfect choice. We both loved the decor and vibes. The pizza oven which was a crab design was cute but I thanked the men preparing the outstanding pizza. All the staff were fantastic.

    So: I passionately enjoyed my dinner at Mamma Roma. The reason that this is unusual is because I'm…read morenot big on going out for Italian food much at restaurants - other than on holidays - since I eat so much Italian food at home. I can make an exception for more casual Italian meals at only a handful of Italian restaurants, and Mamma Roma's is now one. Growing up partially Italian, and a mix of other ethnicities, my family cooks Italian better, of course, than at any restaurant. No one made better Italian dinners than my Na-na (grandmother). But Momma Roma's hummus cream rigatoni could definitely keep me coming back for more. No one made better meatballs than my Mom but the meatballs at Mamma Roma's are flavorful enough. No one made better sauce than my Aunt #1 but the sauce on Momma Roma's ravioli was good and so fresh. And no one made better cookies than my Aunt #2, but Momma Roma's cannolis and rum cookies are tasty. There are a lot of Italian restaurants in the area and I've read that Mamma Roma's is one of, if not, the best. I can only say that while my first visit here a decade ago was fine, this visit goes into my memory as "need to get back there, eventually, if not sooner," after delighting in their new menu item: a creamy hummus rigatoni with sausage. I love hummus, though wasn't really sure if the texture of hummus sauce would be too gritty. It was not. It had a lovely, substantial flavor and silky texture that was balanced well by the impeccably-cooked al dente rigatoni. Add to that the garlic, cream, sausage and herbs in this dish and you've got a winner. I highly recommend this rigatoni, of the 3 rigatoni entrees on Mamma Roma's menu. I haven't even tried the other rigatoni dishes, but still ... don't miss this creamy, garlicky hummus dinner. And the portions of rigatoni in this dish were very generous. The presentation of the lasagna was impressive, in layering and shape. I only had a bite. It had a nice flavor, but I would have needed more bites to give a better description. And since it wasn't my order, I could not indulge. The portion was generous. Also, I would never order lasagna from any restaurant given the reasons cited earlier, but this one was good. I hope someone is laughing because anyone who has grown up in a subcultural group in the US usually sounds exactly like me about the home-cooking they grew up on. Another of Mamma Roma's menu items I'd like to try is their corn and arugula white pizza. I've only found one lovely corn pizza ever at Zelo's in an LA suburb, so now that I have seen this on their menu my curiosity is piqued. Love love love the variety of the dessert menu options. It's not just the desserts in the case on display that you can order. While there are gorgeous cookies on display, the dessert menu has a long, lovely list of all kinds of variations of cheesecakes and cakes. I would like to try the lemon cake on a return visit. And more of the cookie flavors! When I asked the barista what the top desserts were, he was quick to name the cannoli as a first. You'd probably be surprised to find out that this is a counter service approach: you order and pay up at the front and the waiter brings you your food and whatever else you need. You get your own fountain drinks or tea with ice. You can tip in advance, in good faith, when you order in the beginning or you can leave cash on the table at the end of the meal, having already paid your bill in the beginning. There is also the charming dessert counter/bar and espresso area that I mentioned earlier. So, when you are finished with your lunch or dinner, you can go to the barista's counter and order dessert and cappuccino. I love that if you order cake or a cannoli, a cappuccino is only $2. This is an awesome value especially for the evening crowd. For old school Anne Arundel county and Annapolis locals, Mamma Roma's is better than the original Squisito's pizza -- and higher in quality -- but it is a bit reminiscent of that restaurant in terms of popularity and a family feel. Plus, I have never tried the pizza here, but I'm guessing it's good given the quality of the ingredients and preparations we experienced with the pasta dishes. One thing that also really stands out about Mamma Roma's is that they are the only Italian restaurant that is nestled back in the suburban Piney Orchard division of Gambrills. In other words, it's more neighborly there vs. other restaurants along the majorly-trafficked Route 3 corridor. The restaurants along Route 3 have many more transients coming in, given the ease of access, so they are naturally less neighborly. Finally, when we brought our leftovers from dinner home I set them on the kitchen table and left them for a bit. When I came back into our kitchen, it was filled with such delicious aromas! Friends, this is just how fresh the food at Mamma Roma's is. For a casual, counter service suburban, it is quite bellissima!

    Mamma Roma's is the best italian food you're going to find in the area. All of their menu items are…read morefantastic (shoutout to the Pollo Paprika). I haven't tried their pizza, but it looks great. Their service is always top notch, along with very fair pricing and great portions. They have online ordering, which helps me out alot as I work nearby. I haven't actually dined inside yet, I live about an hour away, but I can imagine the service will be just as good. They have some outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating with a bar and lots of wine options. Please check them out if you're in the area,
