We had pizza from them four times in the last two months. The Clintonville location was disappointing every time, specifically the fact that the same pizza tasted different each of the three times we ordered there. The same kind of dough (white) tasted okay one time, the other time it felt plasticky, old and the edges were uneven. The red sauce was much sweeter one time than the other. The whole wheat dough was just terrible; we only had it once. The Upper Arlington location was much better, but we ordered only once from there. Very disappointing because when I used to order from them years ago, it was always good. read more

For my New Year's Eve celebration at home, the tradition is to have pizza and watch a movie. This year, the Moltansanti with a Chopped Italian Salad from Mama Mimi's was my choice. I had the fixings to make a pizza from scratch but didn't want to dirty up a lot of kitchen things. The Moltansanti feels healthy because it has tomatoes and banana peppers. The pepperoni and tomatoes are under the cheese so someone might be fooled into thinking it's a cheese pizza with banana peppers. The banana peppers add a vinegary touch with a little crunch. The Chopped Italian salad is always a winner. They make a sweet italian dressing which may not be to some people's tastes. I ordered my food online ($1.50 convenience fee) and it was ready at the designated pickup time. They have an early bird discount code EB20 for orders placed before 4pm to get a 20% discount. If you're on the mailing list you may get a different code to use at other times of the day. read more

I love the idea of take and bake pizza, lasagna, etc. - my husband and I were able to pick our order up in the afternoon, put it in the fridge and make it when we were ready for dinner. We live downtown so take out / delivery can often be challenging or leave the pizza colder than we would like. Mama Mimi's Take and Bake Pizza is the perfect solution for us! I know it's not everyone's preference but for us, it's great. We ordered a large cheese pizza and family lasagna. We couldn't believe how much food we received! The lasagna can easily feed 4-6 people and the pizza is a great size as well. We also received complimentary bread/garli sticks and they were delicious! And very kind. The pizza was so flavorful, fluffy and perfectly seasoned. I was expecting more of a flatbread style and was pleasantly surprised. All in all, we loved Mama Mimi's and will definitely be adding this in to our rotation! read more

I picked up a medium pepperoni pizza and an order of garlic cheesy bread from Mama Mimi's. They offer a wide range of pizzas, salads and Italian appetizers for takeout from their Clintonville joint. The staff member who took and prepped my order was friendly; he explained how to cook my pizza and bread and gave me some useful tips. Be sure to save the wrapping which contains the instructions if you're forgetful. My pizza and bread turned out wonderful! The bread had a great cheese and garlic flavor, and the pizza was fresh and non-greasy. Overall a fun experience. read more

If you like homemade pizza but don't feel like doing the work this place will be your best friend. The flavors are truly legit. They use fresh produce and have a variety of sauces. I've had nearly all of their pizza combinations as well as their lasagna. Meat, veggie or all cheese for the picky eaters. The staff at this location is super friendly, especially Tony. He's been here for years and greets everyone like they are family. They always seem to have some sort of special going on, but it doesn't matter because I'm going to order regardless. Take it home, pop it in the oven, and voila! Pizza love read more

First pizza from Mama Mimi's Take-N-Bake Pizza since the Pandemic. I got the big deli Pepperoni Pizza on honey wheat crust. Despite the directions say to pre-bake to 450 degrees, I baked my pizza at 400 degrees and it was perfectly baked and delicious. Enjoy ordering Lasagna for Christmas Eve. Also, I pre-order Cinnamon Rolls on the day before Thanksgiving and on Christmas Eve. Never been disappointed with Mama Mimi's Take-N-Bake Pizza. read more

Awesome service and excellent pizza!! Quality toppings, fresh ingredients, plus additional food items, like dessert!

I have to say that I have not been so fond of pizza through Covid and have done a lot of home cooking. But I decided to come to mama Mimi's and get a couple pizzas to cook at home. First of all, the staff is so incredibly welcoming and friendly. When you walk in, they are glad to talk through any of the choices and ingredients. These pizzas are not skimpy on the toppings! They are packaged very well and they stay non-messy in your car. Instructions are on the top of each pizza and cooking is only 8 to 10 minutes in your oven! These pizzas have an amazing yeast crust that tastes like the best crust you could have and cooked to golden brown and crunchy! The pizza keeps well in the refrigerator and it is an easy pull out meal when you are in a rush or just tired of cooking. We also bought a chicken artichoke pizza for Sunday! Can't wait to dive into that! That was so nice to have a complete weekend with no cooking. What a nice break. I highly recommend you try it!! read more

The service is great but the pizza was quite bland and had the teeniest scattering of cheese.the other toppings were loaded up but barely any cheese and a tasteless, dry crust. read more

It was my first time coming here and the employees were so soo very helpful! they explained every to me. My pizza was delicious very homemade! You have to try the tiramisu I will never get enough of it. read more

This place can be such a forgotten gem because it's been around so long, but it still is as delicious as ever. Had a half Italian half veggie lasagna tonight and a salad and everything was wonderful. Friendly service, delicious food, and great prices! Highly recommend!! read more

When I go, I visit their Grandview location (1565 King Ave), and have never been disappointed with it! It's 'foolproof', fresh and even good re-heated the next day! (I'm 'eating for one, so I have leftovers.) I've been going for years, so long that I have an old "Free Pizza Ticket" where each time, they initial a box; after 10, you get a free cheese pizza (you can add toppings, of course)! I don't know if they still run this or not, though (I hope so!) YUMMY! read more

Bah humbug. We ordered pizza and cinnamon rolls for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in advance. We went to pick up at 12:30 today and they did not include the cinnamon rolls when we got home. Checked our email receipt and they were on the receipt. Went back to the store to get the cinnamon rolls only to be told that they did not have any rolls for us. None extra in their shop or the city. They did give us gift card. But that will be difficult to eat and will not go very far around for our son-in-law's birthday on Christmas. Again bah, humbug. read more

Decided it was a takeout type day and it would be a Mama Mimi's Take N Bake pizza time. First the guys (Hunter and George) working there are way cool and super helpful. Wealth of knowledge. Decided on the Pepperoni Trio-Three kinds of pepperoni, fresh garlic, parmesan & fresh basil. Looks delicious. They also threw in breadsticks with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on and sauce for being first time customer. They explained all the cooking instructions and tips. Again they are super helpful. Decided to start with the breadsticks first. Unwrap the package and preheated the oven to 450 degrees and baked them for 6 minutes on parchment paper provided. Boy were they delicious, they provided some nice chunky dipping sauce. Just right amount of spice. Directions for cooking are super simple, allowing the pizza to sit out for around 40 minutes and cook 8-10 minutes on the parchment paper provided. How easier can it get. The pizza crust is very thin, the sauce has a little spice to it. A lot of cheese covers the three types of pepperoni. I would cook it just a little bit longer to crisp it up. Not a bad pizza. read more

If you're walking in to Mama Mimi's in search of inexpensive and instantly gratifying pizza, you're in for a sore disappointment: in most circumstances, Mama sells her pizzas uncooked. No wonder the staff is always standing around doing nothing! Once you wrap your mind around the D.I.Y. notion here, Mama Mimi's a sold choice if you're in search of gourmet pizzas at not-so-gourmet prices. Toppings like capers, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, scallions, and feta cheese make the menu truly one of a kind and worth the trip, even if there's still work left to be done when you get home. I recommend preheating your oven as soon as you leave to pick up the pizza so you'll be ready to bake in no time. Mama's also offers a variety of pizzas with pre-selected toppings that cannot be found anywhere else in the city. The parma pesto chicken is a personal favorite of mine, and the Wing Ding tastes so much like an actual buffalo wing that its almost freaky. For being considered "lighter" options, the "Spa" pizzas, such as the spinach Green Goddess or The Mediterranean, are amazing as well. The next time you're in the mood for pizza, I challenge you to get off your lazy ass, heat up the oven, and make a trip to Mami Mimi's. You won't regret it! read more

Mama Mimi's Take 'N Bake Pizza - Clintonville - Columbus, OH - Pizza Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Wow! Excellent service! Just walking in the shop I knew it would be good because it smelled amazing! Chris was great both on the phone and in person. My order was ready when I got there, and when Chris found out it was my first visit, he threw in an order of breadsticks and made sure I knew how to use the parchment paper and gave me recommendations on cook times. We got the primo veggie pizza, a pepperoni and pineapple calzone, the field greens salad, and the big cookie as a meal deal. May I say first that everything tasted and smelled very fresh. I pleasantly noticed a lack of saltiness that other chains have. This food wasn't salty, it was flavorful. You could taste the veggies and the cheese! The red sauce wasn't soupy..it was full of fresh tomatoes. I will definitely be back to try the lasagna. read more

hit or miss. depends who makes it i guess. when it good tho its fresh and great. reasonably priced too

Mama Mimi's has a concept tailor-made for a pandemic: they make it, you take it and bake it. For some reason I'd never noticed the restaurant despite having driven up and down that part of High Street at least 100 times. Either way, when driving past a couple of weeks ago, my girlfriend pointed it out, we looked it up, and decided to try it soon. Soon turned out to be this past weekend, and we wound up taking a long time to figure out what kind of pizza we wanted to split -- all the options looked delicious. We settled on the Kohl's Favorite, which consists of olive oil, garlic, caramelized onion, ham, bacon, parmesan, and mozzarella. The cook (Chef? Pizzarista?) spent three or four minutes preparing the pizza (i.e. they're not pre-made, which is a good thing), and explained the cooking process. We were surprised to learn that this kind of pizza shouldn't be refrigerated first, so we let it sit out at room temperature for a few hours until we were ready to bake it. The instructions said 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes, which seemed rather short to me, but I put it on for the minimum, and it was already a little burnt on the bottom! Not only that, but it had developed a few little dough tumors (which you can see in my photo), one of which was rather huge. I'm not sure what I might have done wrong, but it was a bit disappointing. That said, the pizza itself was delicious...especially the crust. In fact, I'd say it has one of the best pizza crusts (flavor-wise) I've ever had. We weren't overly wild about the actual toppings, but that's not Mama Mimi's fault. We both agreed that we would gladly try a different pizza next time...and that there *would* be a next time. We'll just be sure to cook it for a minute or two less whenever that time comes around. read more

Awesome pizza, we love the Primo Vegi pizza can't get enough! You can custom order as well. Create your own masterpiece!

Ordered some appetizers, a classic pizza, and a build-your-one pizza online. We got there a bit early to pick it up, but the employees were super kind and promised to get us out the door quickly, even though we were the ones who were early! The directions for cooking at home were clear and accurate, and the pizzas turned out amazing. Our appetizers, field greens salad and pepperoni roll were delicious as well. We'll absolutely be headed back. read more

Highly recommend! The staff are very friendly. The pizzas are amazing! Way way better than doing pizza from your average Pizza Hut, etc. The ingredients are very fresh, the dough is AMAZING, and are super easy to cook! The 2 for $10 is also a very good deal. read more

The Tuesday night pizza train pulled into Mama Mimi's this week. Tuesday pizza nights have become a routine of picking up a pie, letting the aroma get my taste buds going on the car ride home and then immediately popping the box open and devouring it with the wife in front of the TV with a glass of wine. As a creature of habit, Mama Mimi's presented a tough pill to swallow - no bar to sit at while I waited, no aroma on the ride home, no instant gratification. Instead, I had to preheat an oven and then do the "does it look done" routine after 8 minutes. Oh, then there's waiting for it to cool down, cutting it up and then, finally, the payoff.............. Mama Mimi's rates an A-plus for the selection and quality of toppings (and creativeness of pizzas on the menu). Gluten free is also a nice option. We had the pepperoni trio (with shrooms, of course). I figured we also had to try one of the "Award Winners", so we fired up a small Mama's Marmelletta Amore (great toppings, but the Gorgonzola was a little over-powering at times - a feta would've been my choice) . The sauce is quite good, not exceptional. Ratios are fine (maybe a little too much cheese/not enough sauce on the pep). The crust, while decent, just left me thinking "yep, that was take and bake" - nothing that was done in a wood-fired oven. If you're getting two mediums (or larger), you may have space issues in your oven . . . .I was able to cram the medium and the small onto one rack. I didn't want to stack the racks for fear of an uneven bake. If you're a fan of take and bake, give up the Papa Murphy's immediately and get into Mama Mimi's. Maybe I'm just too lazy for take and bake. Had the crust been spectacular, I could've been a convert. However, from now on, I'll stick to letting the restaurant do the cooking. read more

I was coming back from Worthington and decided to give their Father's Day lasagna special a try. What I wasn't expecting was attractive (yes, cute boys) staff and a delicious Summer Spinach salad. We had the meatball lasagna (wish I had ordered the Veggie, but it wasn't my choice) so I could argue it was one of the plainer of lasagna's but it sure did pack flavor! The bread sticks weren't like ones I'm used to, but tasted good enough to eat. My only complaint is that the salad was so good, I had it eaten before we even made the lasagna the next night! It def. wasn't "family" size, but still tasted scrumptious with feta and spinach! read more

my wife and I went in and got a pizza last night had the Honey-Wheat crust and it was GREAT!!! We also had Breadstix and I am not sure if my wife had any because I inhaled them I was dipping them in the Cesar Dressing. I don't even like Cesar dressing and this is the best dressing I have ever had!!!!! Becca helped us helped us and that's one of the biggest reasons why I am writing this, Not just because our pizza and breadstix were INCREDIBLE but her alone would keep me coming back. She was so friendly and helpful!!! Thank you so much for everything, if Becca reads this. You are great!! We are talking about getting pizza again tonight!!! THANKS read more

I went to Mama Mimi's this weekend for the first time in a couple of years, so I figured it was time for an update. I'm leaving the three-star rating, because the pizza's still pretty good -- I love the large topping selection, and the crust is perfectly crunchy-thick. I think, though, either my memory of the salads is incorrect, or they've gotten worse. Was the house dressing always this... thick? I've never seen a thick vinaigrette before. And the Greek salad had (gasp) California black olives instead of kalamatas. Cardinal sin there. Furthermore, the take-and-bake chocolate chip cookies have almost no flavor. My wife and I bought two of them, thinking there's no way they could be bad, but we agreed they're missing something essential. Toll House are far better, even the ready-made kind. As I type, my wife is making some frosting to put on our remaining cookie to give it a little flavor. I also ordered online this time, and the process was difficult and counterintuitive. They're obviously using a generic ordering setup instead of one that's custom-made for the company. With so many great pizza places in town, one visit to Mama Mimi's every couple of years is probably going to be the limit for me. read more

Oh Mama this is some good pizza! ;) My fav is the polpetina grande (meatballs!) and the greek salad. Can't forget about the tiramisu! Its is arguably the best I've ever had. Also, a baking Mama Mimi's warms up my little house and makes it smell delicious - this makes it worth the effort every time! read more

I absolutely love this place. I have a big green egg and enjoy making lots of different things on my grill. This place offers the opportunity to build your own gourmet pie and take it home and bake it fresh yourself. Not only are the pies good they also offer salads, cookies and lasagna so one meal can be picked up in one stop. It is nice to have the variety of toppings to choose from as trying to replicate this at home for only one or two pizzas on your own would cost a fortune. A great alternative to the Luke warm pizza delivery. read more

Mama Mimi's Take 'N Bake Pizza - Clintonville - Columbus, OH - Take and bake on the big green egg. - Pizza Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

If you're looking for a "standard" pizza (pepperoni, cheese, sausage, etc.), walk-on by, there are PLENTY of other good options around town - and I DON'T mean chains like Donatos or Pizza Hut. The real pay-off here is in their "gourmet" topping options. Try taking advantage of them through the specialty pizza offerings, or better yet - design your own! Choices like green olives, artichoke hearts, fresh or roasted garlic, gorgonzola, ricotta, fresh mozzerella, sun-dried tomatoes, etc, etc. -- making your own creation out of these toppings is where you'll find the most benefit from Mama Mimi's. Add in one of their family-size Italian salads (the dressing is excellent!) and you've got a great meal. read more

We live down the street from Mama Mimi's and I have to admit we were skeptical about trying it. Take and bake pizzas never seem to appeal to me so when my husband was in charge of dinner one night and I came home to these pizzas I was prepared to be underwhelmed. I was pleantsantly proven wrong! They were actually really tasty! And the baking at home concept wasn't as bad as I thought, they bake up pretty quickly once you get your oven to temperature. We've since been back and will probably be back again. The pizzas are fresh and are packed with unique ingredients. We're partial to the Mama's Favorite Chicken and the Mama's Marmamelletta Amore. Skepticisms be gone! read more

We all know that pizza in a brick oven is best, but if you can't have that, then have a Mama Mimi's! It's a very well executed "take & bake" concept meaning they prep your pizza and you finish it off at home in your oven. You can order online or by phone and they'll have your yums ready for pick-up in about 20 minutes. Mama Mimi's has some really inventive topping offerings which include their fancy "spa" pizzas. Not only can you pick-up a pizza but you can get a salad, calzone, lasagna, breadsticks and even cookie to bake as big as your head. The lasagna is super meaty--I think they even put ham in it?! It smells like fresh ingredients and pungent pizza dough when you walk in and the guys working there are always super-friendly. There are some coupons out there for meal deals as well as BOGO pizza offers if you join their email list or follow them on social media. read more

Always use fresh and good quality ingredients! I am not a fan of pepperoni pizza (don't judge me!). But I'm a fan of Mama Mimi's pepperoni pizza at least! I also like their house salad; delicious dressing and a very generous portion. Finally the TIRAMISU!!! The most authentic tiramisu EVER! Not too sweet, and effortless taste! Staff here are always very friendly, and often they offer trial-sized dishes - like lasagna, which is great by the way. You can't go wrong unless you mess up with baking :-p read more

Free your pizza from the pizza chains!! Call in your order-- custom or one from the menu-- and pick it up 10 minutes later. Take it home and cook it in your oven. So good and fresh-- not greasy and nasty like the pizza chains! Try the veggie. Most awesome. read more

At first, I was reluctant to try take'n bake pizza because 1. im not good at cooking 2. i don't trust my cranky oven. The service was friendly. Even though I got there 5 minutes before closing, the staff gave me a warm welcome. He was really helpful to us who had no clue about the menu and how to bake a pizza. THANK YOU!!! The pizza was delicious. i don't remember what I ordered. SOmething with chicken. Toppings were generously tossed on my large pizza. The sauce was outstanding with a kick of spicy. I will definitely come back to try other things on the menu. read more

Absolutely beautiful place! The service is fast and friendly, and I always love to try their recommendations. They treat everyone like family and helped me learn about things to do in the city. I for sure will always keep coming! Definitely try some of their unique favorites, like the Ragin' Cajin. I guarantee it will impress. read more

- I've been to Mama Mimi's a few times and have been impressed by each visit. Up front, you should absolutely sign up to "Join the Family" on their website. You will receive a generous number of e-mail exclusive offers which in addition to their may walk-in specials mean you'll rarely or never have to pay full prices. The staff is fast helpful and friendly towards new faces and old as you navigate their many customization options. - I haven't had their lasagna yet, but each version of their gourmet pizzas has been delicious. I finished off my first large chopped Italian salad on the ride home, with the mix of sweet/savory in the vinaigrette being surprising and wonderful. The tiramisu I ordered as desert that visit was a text book example of the rich and creamy pastry done right. - My one WARNING is that the "Chicago Stuffed Pizza" is a bit misleading. Described as the Midwestern "classic," I (and others) can be forgiven for expecting a deep dish Chicago pie. Read the full description mindfully and you can see that what you are ordering is actually a giant calzone. The meats, vegs, and pound of blended cheeses do not fail to deliver an excellent taste. But given the inherent difficulties of its size, next time I'll just order a real calzone and go elsewhere when I have a rare craving for deep dish. read more

The meat lasagna is great. The staff was friendly. The ingredients always taste great. The best take and bake I have ever had.

You ever heard the phrase "you are what you eat"? Well... this place is turning me in to a giant pizza with extra cheese and artichoke hearts. But at least its getting me off my tush to actually cook my own pizza. I've spent the last few years trying to find artichoke hearts like they have. I don't understand how they're so delicious. Nothing else compares. My mouth waters at the thought of them. Right.... this is about the place, not their ingredients elusive qualities... If I had to eat something every day, it would be from this place. Everything I've had from here is excellent. I almost always get a large pizza and their Caesar salad. It's got the most spectacular dressing. Unlike any other Caesar dressing I've ever experienced. My god, I need to go get this now. read more

Pretty good pizza, though nothing to scream about. Two one-topping pizzas for $10 is pretty hard to beat, price-wise, and the specialty pizzas are also good. I guess it's convenient and a little cheaper than buying the pizza pre-baked, but I'd almost always pick Hounddog's or Adriatico's (or even Pizza Hut) over Mama Mimi's. read more

I love you, Mama Mimi. When I'm too tired to cook, you are there for me with your fresh toppings and wholesome sauces. When I want that inexplicable tang that only your dough can provide, you are upon my tongue in a matter of minutes. When the only thing emptier than my wallet is my stomach, your Italian warmth is there to ease the pain. The pain of being a poor, hungry, and marginally employed twentysomething. No, seriously, I love this place. When I'm cruising for something fast but healthy that won't break the bank, Mama Mimi's is at the top of my list. I can still remember when I first moved to Cbus and some friends had me over for MM's. I was so impressed (thought they'd made it themselves); when I found out it was made by Mama Mimi, and I could get it for myself, on a regular basis, I was over the moon! Oh, and the last time we ordered a pizza and took it home and the dog ate it? They replaced it for free. Now THAT'S the kind of service that will keep me loyal to the place for as long as I am living in Columbus. read more

We tried Mama Mimi's tonight for the first time and WOW! It's a new favorite. The associates went out of their way to answer our questions, make suggestions, and even gave us free breadsticks for being newbies. Everything was fresh never frozen and the quality is amazing. It was so good and only took 10 minutes! It's a new week night go-to for us. Thanks! read more
