I go here a lot and it is safe to say that this place has its pros and cons. For starters, the pizza is quite good, probably the best kosher pizza in Baltimore even if it is very greasy. The facility is nice but not actively impressive. Prices are mid. The worst part about this place is the wait. It's like twenty minutes for your pizza. The parking is also pretty bad, it's on a hill. read more

The food is great. The owner causes the place to lose costumers. He doesn't care about costumer service or costumer opinions. Instead of assisting with mistakes, he insists it's right and that he won't do anything about a mistake. I know numerous people who stopped going back thanks to the owner. He basically tells the person to jump in a lake instead of trying to listen to their feedback or assist them. That is the way to get costumers not to return instead of assisting them and listening to their feedback and trying to accommodate so costumers keep coming back. read more

I placed a large order in advance from Mama Leah's for my daughter's birthday party last month, but unfortunately we had to cancel the party at the last minute when the venue had a serious issue. I called the restaurant expecting to be out of luck in cancelling our no-longer-needed order, but they were so understanding and kind about the whole thing. So when the rescheduled party took place yesterday I made sure to order with Mama Leah's again, and their pizza was just as great as their customer service. Everything was right on time, and my out of town guests kept complimenting the food. Mama Leah's is definitely my go-to for birthday pizza parties from now on. read more

Great place to dine with family. Packed with religious Jews which is nice. The fake meat items are ok not amazing. Definitely stick to pizza unless you like the taste of a Morning Star burger. A surcharge (3.5%) is added if you use your credit card. Overall, great pizza place. read more

Whole wheat pizza is awful! We keep giving them another chance and each time the pizza is worse. We've had crust with gaping holes, burnt pizza that was inedible and crust that was so thin you could see through it. They should either stop making whole wheat crust pizza or say "sorry, we don't have enough for two pizzas tonight." We had company last night and were extremely embarrassed about the "kosher pizza" we served. read more

Welp, one thing I hate is the okie doke! And we were served up a biiiiiig portion of it tonight on 3/19/2019. When we arrived, we were told that today was a holiday (thank goodness for google). We were told they closed at 6 PM. Well why is it that at 8:30 PM when I arrived was the door still open AND there was still staff there?!? Especially if you closed 2 1/2 hours ago? Strange - we thought so too. If you wanted to close early, just tell us that. I would have far more respect for that. There was no sign on the door, Google says the holiday starts on 3/20, it was just 3 people saying "Oh, we're closed!" "Yeah. It's a holiday!" Geeeet tfooh! I remember this place from when it was in its previous location in the same shopping center with Panera. The place was decent back then and I was excited to introduce a friend to the new location... But after this, it's really no need to come back. No to mention, from what I could see, the place wasn't all that clean. I can see others commented on that as well. What a shame... *tusk* No need for management or anyone to respond, not interested in you crafting some type of crafty excuse. This was straight up poor management. read more

I'm from NY, so pizza is something I'm particular on. The cheeseburger pizza was actually tasty. The use of ground impossible meat was clever. The mozzarella sticks were big and crispy. I'd definitely try more fake meat pizzas next time I'm in town. read more

Mama leah's used to be a decent pizza place when it was owned by the previous owner on Mt. Wilson Lane. Now its a filthy dump with slow service, rude staff and expensive subpar food. When Marc Prince took over it went downhill fast. The staff is rude. They don't answer the phone. They lose orders, mess up orders, make excuses, lie to customers and the food isnt even good. The pizza is thin as paper and hard as cardboard. The manager fleischman is rude and obnoxious. He hung up on us while we were trying to put in an order. He admitted so when we called back. We had too many questions for him and he hung up until we knew our exact order. The last time my spouse didn't even finish their food. It was dry and overcooked and disgusting. Don't waste your money. read more

This is kosher pizza. All the ingredients kosher. Sometimes that means the cheese behaves and tastes a little different. If I didn't know that, It is one of the best slices I ever had, outside of New York, that is. It is the best kosher pizza I ever had, including New York. Heavy on cheese. But the cheese is good! But the great part is the crust. Nice dough and crispy. This is a thicker pizza sweeter sauce like Boston pie. This is great for conveyor belt pizza. And this is not a kids slice. Now, you will not find meats here. Plain or veggie only. I know kosher places that make pizzas with vegetable, soy substitutes for meat. Eh. Don't bother. Id rather have the real thing. At Leah's a plain cheese slice is great. And the two slice and soda special is a great deal. There is a handsome man here with a beard and nice curly hair. Kind of tall a little stocky. Gorgeous. A little eye candy with your slice. read more

The pizza is just so oily and sometimes I let that go for the sake of a quick grab and go...but tonight the pie was burnt and they did nothing about it. Just so disappointed. Is it really that hard to make pizza? read more

I've been coming to Mama Leah's for as long as I can remember, having grown up in Baltimore under a kosher diet. I visited twice last week on a recent trip back to the area, my first time at the restaurant since moving out of state. I'm not sure if it's the fact the place has been under new management for some time now, but unfortunately, I wasn't as impressed this time as I had been a few years back. The location is central (in a large shopping center right in the heart of Pikesville by several other kosher establishments), which is convenient, but finding decent parking is a challenge. The restaurant is large, but could be cleaner. Service was very disorganized and slow. I did feel the price was about average, and the pizza is quite tasty, although the fries are extremely greasy and soft. Overall, not the worst but also not the best option out there. read more

worst service of my life. go to Tov pizza. I went and waited over an hr and a half for my food while watching people who came long after me get their food. wasn't that good. 70 dollars in the garbage read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the food wasn't that good at all.. The pizza had cheese that im not sure was cheese (watery white supermarket cheese), there was barely any sauce to the point where it was just cheese and bread, but the bread was fine. The fries were incredibly soggy and tasted like actual cardboard(flavorless and tasted like paper) , and I couldn't bring myself to finish anything it was so unfavorable. The only good thing was the staff, they were really friendly and accommodating. I don't know if it was a bad day or something, but I will probably not be coming back. The price definitely did not match the quality. read more

Just going through my yelp account looking around and noticed how I took this photo and remembered how I was visiting Baltimore (I'm fromNY) and I had a disagreement about the amount I paid and the manager told me to leave (with paying for 2 pies and receiving no pizza) or he would call the police. I refused to have my money stolen so I said sure I'll wait for the police before I walk off without my pizza or my money back. Police arrived managaer said I was harassing him and he wants to file a restraining order unless I leave. I left to avoid further time wasted. But.... here is my story for the public to see that this store is a complete disgrace to honesty and Judaism! read more

I was ordering a meal to take to a family who just had a baby and I ordered on line. I messed up and they could not have been nicer to make everything right for me. They were calm and accommodating. I could not have been more grateful for their patience. Plus I heard from the family that everything was great. I may not order on line again but I will certainly purchase lots of wonderful food from them by calling in. Thanks again to them for their patience. read more

Absolutely delicious pizza! Very clean and family friendly restaurant. Excellent customer service and menu choices. The entire staff was wearing properly fitting masks and are enforcing social distancing guidelines. Being new to the area, the manager was very helpful in telling us about the area and welcomed us so nicely. We can't wait to come back! read more

So Mama Leah's Pizza is still open! Who knew? Because I definitely did not, and finding my way back here yesterday was such a happy surprise! When I was in high school I would eat pizza from here at least once a week with my friends. I always loved it and looked forward to grabbing a slice. I moved away from the area for nearly a decade and that's the last I ever heard about Mama Leah's. When I moved back I never saw it on Reisterstown Road and stupidly thought they had closed. So yesterday when I was in Pikesville looking for a place to stop for lunch imagine my surprise when I realized that Mama Leah's merely relocated! The pizza was as good as I remember it. They are heavy on the cheese, which I love, and the sauce is definitely a sweeter variety. I came in and told them how happy I was to return and they were so very nice. I ordered the lunch special, which was 2 slices of cheese pizza with 1 medium fountain soda for $5.25. The slices are very big - the 2 slices were more than I would ever ordinarily eat for lunch, but they have a credit card minimum of $5 and I was blissfully forced into gluttony. The restaurant was very quiet and I was able to enjoy my lunch break and read. It's definitely not much to look at, and has a lot of things that are on the older side (the chairs are really scratched up, etc.) but I didn't mind. I will definitely be back, both for lunch AND for the Israeli pizza - eggplant is mixed into the sauce and it's topped with cheese and falafel!!! This is now on my short list of Baltimore foods to try, and once I do I'm going to write all about it! Know that this place is Kosher, which means their hours and menu will reflect accordingly. They close early on Friday (at 2:30pm) and re-open on Saturday nights one hour after Shabbat ends. You're also not going to find some otherwise standard fare pizza toppings (like any type of meat). But it's an awesome, no frills pizza place that makes me feel nostalgic. I love it! read more

The pizza at Mama Leah's is fantastic. It is topped with the perfect amount of real cheese and sweet-yet-subtle sauce. The lunch two-slice special was just over $5, and I believe there's a personal pizza lunch deal for $10. Clean dining area and friendly service at the counter. read more

Mama Leah's Pizza - Lunch special-so good! - Pizza Near Me - Pikesville, Maryland

Not as good as it used to be. Pizza was cold and not very flavorful and the crust was boring and bland. Cheese pretzel was small and not very tasty. Customer service was better than in previous visits. Very disappointing since it used to be my favorite place for pizza. read more

I ONLY TRIED THE PIZZA AND FRIES, but they were EXCELLENT. The cheese is a melty and chewy combination of tangy and sweet, with just the right amount of "grease" on the top (yeah, pat it off with a napkin). The sauce is JUST RIGHT: not too tart, not too spicy, not overloaded with inferior oregano. i LOVE THE CRUST: it's on the thin side on the pie and is chewy and doughy on the edges. This is kosher pizza that is NOT crafted to only suit the taste of a 3-year old. A small order of regular fries was done to perfection, not soggy or greasy, and salted to suit most tastes. Medium cut, not too skinny and not too thick. Also used a gift certificate from Restaurants.com, so it was a good value. read more

Had some trouble in the beginning, but they fixed it up.. Pizza is good, but a tad oily, Fries were too salty, but the drinks were free refilles! Excellent price, we bought the Family deal for 25$ and it was more than enough for 3 adults and 2 kids. The donut holes were screwed up by accident, and they fixed that and gave us extras. Tasted awesome in the end! Would definitely go back! read more

I found this pizza place in Yelp. The reviews were good so why not. It's a typical carry out with seating indoors and outdoors. The staff was very pleasant and efficient. It was lunch time so it was a bit crowded. I only ordered 2 slices of pizza. The pizza was very good. I would definitely return. My only complaint was I think the restaurant could be maintained better... Wipe the tables, sweep floors etc. If the appearance were tidier it would be 5 stars. read more

This is by far the best pizza in the East Coast. whenever I'm in the mood for pizza I wish I could have Mama Leah's however since moving away from Baltimore I've been craving Mama Leah's the first thing I do when I return to Baltimore for a visit or business meeting is to procure Mama Leah's immediately and chow down on the delectable delightful and scrumptious Pizzeria creation that Mama Leah's masterfully makes I'm so grateful for the culinary excellence and sheer delight that Mama Leah's has brought into my life and I hope that Mama Leah's will never go away and future generations will enjoy and be elated by this superior pizza until the end of time read more

This place has gone downhill in a bad way. Customer service is almost non-existent. The workers barely look at you when you walk in. Ordering takes forever and the worst part is that the pizza which used to be great is pretty poor now. No one seems to be willing to help in any way. Placed an order by phone recently. When I arrived there was several people on line. I walked to the front to say I had placed an order but was told I needed to wait in line. What is the purpose of placing an order? And then the order was wrong. No "I'm sorry, let's make it up to you" just "it'll be another 20 minutes if you still want it". Until this place gets back to where they once we're I will look to eat elsewhere. read more

It appears that they are under new management. Service was much better and the pizza was pretty good

Please DON'T go there. I placed an online order. My total was $10.90 when I went to my online banking I found out they've charged me $16.92. Scam scam scam. Honestly the grocery store pizza tastes better. And it's completely unsanitary there. There was a long hair kid running around the kitchen with no cap or anything. It's just all wrong I'm filing the dispute with my bank. read more

Food here was below average. The pizza was really grease. It took them 45 minutes to get me a plain slice. The floors are so slippery.

I heard this place was so so .. So I figured I would try it. I purchased a Deal Here $15 for $30 . Guess what.. they wouldn't honor it! It wasn't expired. The big macher Mark Prince refused.. giving us a sob story about Deal Here not willing to pay him , we were not on the list ( goisha kup list) and he wasn't losing any $. Not my problem .. We purchased it in good faith and that shlamazel couldn't care less... that's not how u treat ur customers and the customer is always right!! If u signed up for it ..it should be ur loss not mine... So now we are out of the $$$ .Mr Mark Prince you give the Jews a bad name ... What a real cheap skate.. now instead of losing $ 30 maybe it will be $300!!! onto another social media to tell all of Pikesville and MD and all visitors and travelers about ur business and ur professionalism. This place is not so so it is plain outright horrible. Was gonna bring my fruma tanta here ... but not now .. we will find a better place!!"Gay hack dine kup af de vant!!! read more

The pizza is great, best crust in town. But the store is covered in a layer of grease, and the people working the register are gross. I get that it may be hard to find the highest quality people, but it only takes common sense to make sure your hands are clean and/or put on gloves before handling food. I've witnessed the front counter person(s), at different times, picking their nose, eating a slice of pizza then wiping their mouth with hand, and taking cash for an order then handling slices of pizza with same dirty hands. I've tried giving the place several chances, but the last few times I almost wanted to vomit after seeing how the food is handled. read more

Great and large slices. Got the stuff pizza and it was amazing. Also have lunch specials which are good to go.

Less than desire - able ! Doubt if there is any room for improvement. Eat at your own peril!

Good Pizza but NOT for parties. We've been customers of Mama Leah's Pizza, preferring them over every other pizza place in Baltimore, until we counted on them to deliver 7 pizzas for my son's 5th birthday party. I placed the order on Wednesday the week before and paid in full via credit card over the phone. I specifically asked if I needed to call them Sunday morning to remind them of the delivery scheduled for 12:30pm. They reassured me saying they do this all the time and have a system in place. Moreover, they open at 11am on Sundays so even if I called the main number earlier, no one would have picked up. Sunday, the day of the party, I called to ask where the delivery guy was at 12:45 because he was already running behind and we only reserved the party room for a 2 hour window. My information and order was verified and they told me he left already and should be there in 10 minutes. 20 minutes later I called to ask where he was again because he still hadn't shown up and was told that they lied to me the first time to buy themselves time to make and deliver 7 pizzas because they misplaced my order and hadn't begun to work on it until I called the first time. I asked to talk to the manager who of course was very apologetic. They issued a full refund and proceeded to deliver 7 free pizzas that arrived around 3pm and after most of our 40 guests who were counting on us for lunch left the party. Even though I was upset that they had misplaced our order I was absolutely furious that they would lie to me about it just to buy time to fill the order late. I will not be counting on Mama Leahs Pizza for parties in the future and I recommend you don't either. read more

I am salivating just thinking about this pizza place: the pizzas are tasty; you should also try their other specialties like fried/baked fish pita pockets stuffed with fresh salad and tartar sauce, and garlic knots, They offer soft serve ice cream to cool you off after a hot pizza. The pizza topping list offers many varieties for such a strictly dairy pizza joint, and they even have gluten-free pizzas. Delish! read more

I cant believe the reviews on here. I stopped here for lunch today and ordered the baked ziti. One of the employees walked in the back and not more than a sec walked back out with a container already having the baked ziti in it he removed the lid then sent it thru the pizza oven they did this twice then put the same lid back on and i took it to go when i started to eat it it was horrible i looked at the lid and it had the date 11-28-16 on it so this was either the day it should have been expired or the day they made it but still served it 10 days later. I should have known better the place looks run down, and dirty the refrigerator they kept the salad toppings was see thru and disgusting the health dept really should inspect this place. i would never give this place a second chance no matter what. I will leave it at that and not even mention the service from the guy running the place. read more

Best kosher pizza in Baltimore, my kids can't get enough. Only pizzeria I know with green olives. LOVE THEM!

Pizza ok but the service is a joke. 47 minutes to get a pizza is unacceptable. The arrogance of the staff when something is said about the length of time was insulting. I honestly have no clue how they have stayed in business all these years. read more

we ordered delivery for 5:30pm. we called at 545 only to learn they had not even started the order yet. order was called in at 400pm. we cancelled order and someone who gave the name yael said the credit card would not be charged. called credit card company hours later and they charged for the entire order, delivery and a tip (lol). they are extremely disorganized and could careless about their customers. read more
