    Pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza, and breadsticks. We get our pizzas with light cheese. Some of its already eaten, of course.

    Easily my favorite pizza place in/around the Indianapolis area. The pizza itself is excellent, even when you're eating it cold the next day. The breadsticks have a nice garlic butter and parmesan flavor to them and are always really soft. Everything on the menu is reasonably-priced, especially when you take the good quality of the food into consideration. On top of that, the staff has always been nice in each of our previous experiences. I've honestly got nothing bad to say about them. I'd love it if they opened more locations around Indy, but if they don't, I'll happily continue going out of my way to get them. They're worth the trip.

    Got here right at 8:05pm and to my surprise, the cut off for the buffet is 8pm. We asked the person at the counter if it was possible to still get the buffet with what was left (there were still a few mostly full pizzas left!) and the cashier let us participate in the buffet - even at a discounted price! Although the quality was slightly lacking because the pizza was about to be tossed for the night, the flavor was still there! Such a great experience and I greatly appreciate the cashiers willingness to offer us the buffet after hours. I will certainly be returning! Sooo much food at a wonderful price!

    I had a Groupon for $25.00 it only was good for a few weeks and didn't want to loose it so we drove to New Palestine. I read some reviews one said it was next to Subway. Well actually they are both in the same building. Mama Nita's has 7 booth that seat 4 so not much seating. There was a menu board that said all you can eat buffet $5.99 from 11:00 to 4:00. After 4:00 7:49. Kids 2 and under free Kids 10 and under $3.99. Seniors $6.49. Drinks $1.69 So I asked if they sold whole pizza he said yes and showed us a menu. Ok there was a lot of stuff on it. A lot of pizza-sandwiches-wings and other stuff. We ordered the buffet and a 12 inch Mediterranean pizza to go. On the buffet a small salad bar with about 12 different toppings bread sticks with cheese sauce and 6 different pizza. The pizza not bad for a pre-made crust. She to top it off you could pick a ice cream treat from the freezer. Ice cream sandwich-bomb pops or popsicles. If ever in New Palestine we would eat here again.

    First time here as I usually go to Mama Nita's in Greenfield. They kept the buffet fresh and asked if I had a special request. Not too many people eating Buffet but the carry out orders never stopped! There were as many as 8 people working & I mean working. Like a great oiled machine. Back to the food. No complaints here. Good Pizza Mama Nita.

    Very small salad bar. It didn't tempt me. Many pizzas to choose from on the buffet. Some were hot, fresh and delicious, others cool and not so good. Very tasty breadsticks AND they had cheese for them! Ice cream bars for dessert, but no diet pop!! That's bad!! No diet pop? What about diabetics? Included in the buffet also is popsicles or ice cream bars.

    I love this place so much! Very kind staff & deliciously made food in a timely manner! Though it's a bit pricey, it's worth the slurge.

    The best pizza Buffett around. They will ask for your favorite and add it to the Buffett. Great staff and budget friendly.

    We went back for a Valentine's Day date. Phil was our server again (awesome!)…read more We had the lasagna and shrimp pesto pasta special with a side of brussel sprouts and we both had their house salad + appetizer of cheesy garlic bread and marinara. While I don't think we should get an appetizer again because it was so much food, the marinara that can with the cheesy garlic bread was phenomenal. Both of our entrees were delicious! A ton of food. I wish we could have taken some home, but we're going to a show after. Brussel sprouts were to die for.... So good. Love the glaze they put on them. Again, I think we could have been fine with just our entrees and salads, but all the food we tried was so delicious - I am really glad we did. We may not make it back as often as I would like, but we love the ambiance, service, and food. This is a special place for us and we hope to share it with others.

    Generally a "decent" experience overalls with some negative issues intermixed with some positives…read more The calamari was rubbery to the point where we could not enjoy eating it but our server told us the manager took it off our bill. The entrees (the monkfish special and the carbonara) were good but not great. I did appreciate the crispy, smoky pancetta in the carbonara but the monkfish had a somewhat mushy texture rather than the he firmness we would normally expect. The biggest issue, though, was the check. The calamari never came off, the meatballs for the children's pasta were more expensive than what was on the menu, and we were charged for an extra calamari dipping sauce that we did not ask for. Most of these problems were fixed but the whole thing illustrated a lack of attention to detail and an appearance of up-charging the customer in any way possible. Overall: Food: fair 4/5 Service: decent 3.5/5 Pricing: suspicious 2/5

    Pretty impressed with the pasta sauce; pasta texture did not have any chew which I like…read more Complimentary bread 6.5/10 was a little tough Olive oil smelled more fragrant than it tasted Fried ravioli 8/10 Basically elevated mozzarella sticks and pretty yummy The pasta dough is was crispy and chewy Penne alla emiliana 8.5/10 Flavor was so potent if you like meaty (sausage and prosciutto) and tomato sauce Linguini frutti di marre 9/10 -1 point mainly because the pasta doesn't taste handmade/Lacking the al dente chew. It was our server's fav pasta so I had to pick this one deciding between two options It was plated so pretty too The garlic white wine sauce had a good tang to it as well which I really enjoyed Blueberry bliss 8.5/10 Prosecco based cocktail, very easy to drink Pear strawberry cocktail 6.5/10 Surprisingly kinda strong and had medicine taste I would get a glass of wine next time Vibes were nice and cozy, a little bit too dark imo Service was very nice, I got extra plate and small fork to eat my mussels without needing to ask Cannoli for birthday was free too (mentioned bday in reservation) Cannoli 7.5/10 Best cannoli I had. (I don't think this my taste Ind deserts tho hence the average score) I enjoyed the extra toppings (chocolate chips and syrup) and the shell has like cinnamon or cocoa powder or something for more flavor

    We went here for little date…read more Free bread was good enough. Service was average. Chicken parm was weak. Just a chicken cutlet with small amounts of cheese and red sauce, it looks like it was more for presenting than enjoying. Not coming back anytime soon, and definitely not a top place to go if youre looking for the best chicken parm in the city!

    As I was coming home from Ft Wayne I was detoured through Pendleton…read more I remembered I had an Italian place marked on my bucket list on Yelp- WOW- honestly this was the best Italian meal I have had in Indy! It is worth the drive!!! All pastas are made fresh. The staff was so friendly and accommodating! They have a piano player as well...what a treat! I sat in the back corner and took it all in! The food was outstanding, I ordered Linguine Frutti di Mare- homemade linguine ( delicious) served with clams, mussels, scallops? Shrimp, cherry tomatoes, evoo, garluc, parsley cooked in a white wine sauce!!! As you can see I absolutely hated it... lol! I has an expression and lava cake for dessert. The lava cake was a little overcooked- that is the only complaint.... Other than the lady sitting across the table from me that talked loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear her conversation. I wish people would be more observant and realize they don't have to talk so loud when they're sitting at their table it made it difficult to hear the piano player and it went from a relaxing stress free feeling to an annoyance. I was so happy when her food arrived. This place is very special. It's very small. I got in because it was very early in the evening. I believe their doors open at 5 o'clock. I would highly recommend reservations, but if you have a special occasion that you're celebrating, and it appeared that several people did this is worth the drive!

    Ambience and service superb. Food not so much…read more Not a lot of choices and all very rich.
