The pizza was sub par at best in my honest opinion, the hype was not real sadly. The thing this got me the most was the unprofessionalism of the woman working there. I cannot think of a place where I have been yelled at and harassed anywhere in my life before. It's a beat down old pizza shack where you can eat outside but there are many rules posted outside. Don't break any of the rules or you will be crucified. The whole environment and experience was disappointing. I will not be posting a picture of the mid grade pizza either. read more

This tiny little spot in Abiquiu doesn't look like much, but man oh man do they put out delicious pizza. We stopped to grab a pizza and take with us to our accommodations. We stepped up to the order window and the woman took our order, and we sat outside at the picnic tables and waited about 20 minutes. We were handed a hot pizza box and we were on our way. As we drove, the smell of a perfectly cooked pizza filled the car. Once we got to our room, we sat out on our patio and enjoyed a perfectly cooked pizza. It was delicious! Don't expect much service. The woman was very matter of fact, was a bit more friendly when she brought our pizza out. But we weren't expecting much, just great pizza and Mamacita absolutely delivered. read more

I was looking forward to trying this pizza per reviews and word of mouth. Roadrunner pizza was more like pizza jerky or cardboard. It was dry and crust was burnt. Wings were not meaty as stated in menu. I would not recommend. read more

Mamacita Pizzeria - Pizza and wings - Pizza Near Me - Abiquiu, New Mexico

I do believe the pizza was left over from earlier in the day. Over cooked and dry. It would have been good if it would have been fresh. Wings "were not" meaty as stated on menu. Lady who did order was very friendly. Come to this area often so sadly will not be back. read more

The lady was so rude, the only reason it gets 3 stars is because the pizza was actually pretty good. HOWEVER. Mamacita was rude. I placed the order early in the evening and the website says they don't close until 8. But for some reason the lady was very short with me and saying they close earlier than 8 and implying it was inconvenient for her, but maybe she could squeeze another order in. She kept cutting me off while I was ordering and acting like I was wasting her time! Then she said she could only make an extra large because she "ran out of mediums and larges." LADY. YOU MAKE THE DOUGH AND THE SIZE BY HAND. What does she mean she ran out of larges??? I think she just wanted to make more money off of us tbh but we didn't care. Then she said the order would be ready in 40 mins and to "make sure to be on time." 30 mins later she calls us and says, "Um, where are you? I have been waiting for you to pick up your order so that I can close up" as if it's my fault. Terrible customer service, good food. ‍ read more

Mamacita Pizzeria - Custom pizza - Pizza Near Me - Abiquiu, New Mexico

This place is an oasis in a pizza desert, some of the best pizza in NM. We've ordered a handful of times over the past couple years and the pizza and interactions have always been great. She communicates directly and efficiently, and it's a simple thing to respect her and her rules and her business. read more

Absolutely horrible. The lady running this place chased my family away before we could even place an order. She was rude and refused to answer questions about what pizzas she had. It's a small shack on the hwy. we ended up driving and finding better service elsewhere. read more

Good pizza in the middle of nowhere. Mamacita seems a little grouchy, but I suppose if I had to run a business at that crossroads, I would be grouchy too good pizza. read more

Honestly one of the best pizzas I've had. Stands up to some of my favorite pies from New York and New Jersey. And yes, they (still) require you to wear a mask, even just ordering through a window from the outside. Deal with it, the pizza's well worth the incredibly minor inconvenience I highly recommend taking your pie next door to Los Caminos, to enjoy with a cold beer or two. read more

She gave amazing service, and the food was absolutely incredible! definitely recommend and definitely coming back!

I just had one of the best meals. I had a Roadrunner piazza which was pepperoni and green Chilli. I had a Caesar salad and bread sticks. Just wonderful. The proprietor, Mamacita , does everything. Cooks, takes orders, delivers the food to the outside picnic tables. She is not a warm and fuzzy person , just a ruthless perfectionist cook. The eating area is ringed with signs encouraging normal behavior. Also she requires people ordering at her window to wear a mask. Apparently this sets some people off. Go for the piazza. Sit and enjoy, gazing at the blue sky. Enjoy food prepared with high standards and care, served hot by a woman who expects people to stay off her tables, control their pets and children and not swear at each other. What a deal! read more

Didn't even make it inside to order before I was being yelled at by the owner. We arrived for an early dinner and decided to get a drink first at the bar next door. As we were walking to the bar she came out and yelled at us saying that if we weren't ordering food we couldn't park there. I told her we were coming right back to order after a drink. She called the bar while we were there and had the bar owner tell us we had to move our car. The locals said all she does is yell at her customers so we ultimately decided we didn't feel welcome. As we were going to our car she came outside to yell at us again "thanks a lot!". Don't waste your money here. Try cafe sierra negra up the road, food AND customer service is excellent!!! read more

Great pizza, no nonsense. Consistent quality, served quickly and always on time. Great value, order larger, the leftovers are also great. If you want to eat inside with a beer, there's a friendly bar right next door where you can eat and finish off the night with a game of pool. read more

I'm a pizza snob. I can sniff out the bad stuff, this however is the BEST stuff. I was on a roadtrip and starving and like an oasis in the desert Mamacita's appeared. Wow. Mamacita knows her stuff! The pizza was thin, but not like a cracker, like a proper hand tossed pizza. The sauce is perfectly portioned. She has every topping you could want. LOVED this magical surprise and this delicious pizza! read more

We finally made it to Mamacita's after hearing about it for a year. And we just live a few miles down the road in Espanola. The pizza was everything it should have been and the salad was crisp, fresh and filling, with great dressing. We just loved Marta. And true to the reviews, she was rude. But not to us -to the three fellows who came up, ordered, bothered us (two women) while we were trying to eat, and then attempted to bring liquor onto the patio. I was so impressed with her handling of the entire situation. We got dinner and a show and loved every minute of it. We wil be back very soon to try the subs and the wings!!!!! read more

The pizza at Mamacita's used to be outstanding (we hadn't visited in a couple of years) but, unfortunately, we were disappointed during our last visit. Maybe inflation is to blame? The pizza we kept coming back for had a medium thickness, the one we were served last week was very thin. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed the great flavor of the homemade sauce and good quality cheese and toppings but, though the crust is still crispy, when you pick up a slice, it's limp because it is very, very thin. I don't think we'll return, now it really isn't worth the long drive. Pity. read more

I live in ABIQUIU, and Mamacita is the best pizza!! I would drive from Santa Fe if I had to because she is such an amazing person and a gift to our local community. Her sandwiches are incredible, but her pizza is to die for. It's thin crust, and she watches over it and makes it with love every time. Couldn't recommend it anymore, and Mamacita herself is an amazing woman with a big heart. read more

You drive up to this place and immediately you ask yourself what's the pizza place doing in the middle of Abiquiu? You walk in the door and the owner, cook and waitress immediately gives you the rundown on what is good,how it's made,and what would you like. She holds nothing back and lets you know, she's been around for 14 years and there's a reason. We ordered the veggie pizza with chopped green chili, and the salad with Italian dressing. No-frills, no public bathrooms, simply picnic tables outside to eat your meal. We decided it was a little cold outside so we sat in the car to eat our lunch. She called out that our order was ready and we prepared to eat. We split the salad and placed the pizza in the middle to share. The salad was chopped with great veggies from cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, mixed greens and olives with the dressing was on the side. The pizza came out hot and smelled delicious! We had not had lunch and a very small breakfast so we were digging right in! The salad was fresh and the pizza had great crust and topped high with veggies. The chili was authentic!!!! Nothing sissy about it! Hot and not made for the tourist! She was very sure of that and I could not agree more. You get what you order at Mamacita's! No frills just great pizza with fresh ingredients! read more

I've lived down the road for two years. Mamacita and her pizza is a gift to Abiquiu! The pizza is delicious. The crust is crisp with a nice chew. How does she do that!! They are cooked to bubble and golden. Total classic coast pizza. It's such a treat to have such an incredible restaurant in the desert! read more

i had my first Mamacita's pizza today, and wow it was so good. The Roadrunner pizza is a perfect blend of fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage and green chiles. It was mid afternoon and fairly quiet which gave us the opportunity to visit with the owner. She was cordial, engaging, and treated us and our poodle Charley with warmth and hospitality. Folks have posted comments about the signs with all the rules, nothing onerous about the rules. Mama's house, Mama's rules...pretty easy to follow and stay out of trouble. Great local establishment, we'll definitely be back. read more

The BEST pizza. A true New York-style pie! Our Airbnb host recommended it and we had passed it a few times driving in and out of town. We also had a great time chatting with the owner and were really impressed with her business and how she got there. We got the pizza to go, but there was outdoor seating as well. The owner was strictly enforcing the mask mandate which was great to see her care over the health and safety of her customers. It's crazy the amount of hassle these small business owners are being given from customers about wearing masks. Bottom line: great pizza, friendly owner, don't miss it! read more

I've had many great meals here. The proprietor has always been gruff but decent. Last night, she was repeatedly unkind, then nasty. We all have bad days, and it was clear she had something very stressful, and I feel for her... but when you take out your anger on your customers, you lose customers. I won't be back, nor will any of my friends. read more

Amazing service and even better pizza! We ordered 10 pizzas for work and they were all amazing. Thank you for accommodating our entire crew!

Our pizza was great and we enjoyed it while driving down the highway during Covid because we needed to be traveling for health issues. I did not appreciate the little note telling me to "stay home"! You do not know my story. I do not need your input. You are extremely abrupt to the point of being rude. Lighten up and be kind. These are troubled times. I did enjoy your pizza. I did not enjoy my encounter with YOU...... read more

Thrilled this place was open today. What a treat! Had the supreme. The crust was wonderfully crunchy and thin.

There are not a lot of restaurants in Abiquiu, so we stopped here for a quick bite and were surprisingly impressed by how incredible the pizza is. Great ingredients, flavorful, perfectly crisp crust. We'll definitely be back the next time we're driving in that direction. Not much for atmosphere or chic vibes, but it's the best darn pizza I've ever had. read more

If you're looking for delicious, thin crust pizza made with love, this is the place. Mamacitas was such a pleasant experience. We could not leave a tip as we paid with card, but this review should show how much we enjoyed the pizza and environment here, as we literally just pulled out of the parking lot as I'm writing this. The customer service was even better. The owner is hard-working and trying to keep her family safe during the pandemic, and is very respectful in asserting her policy wishes. Could not recommend more. read more

Fantastic pizza, in the middle of . . . well, almost nowhere! Beautiful scenery, too! Generous toppings, lovely thin crust, and a great chicken Caesar salad, too! This is a one-person business, and somehow, she makes it work GREAT! And she insists that we wear masks ~ which is a PLUS, as far as I'm concerned ! Some people are extremely rude because they don't want to put on a mask , even for the moment it takes to pick up rheir order and pay ~ that seems incredibly selfish! Thus the few one-star reviews ~ which says more about them than about the excellent experience you can have at Mamacita's! read more

Mamacita will be a forever stop on trips to New Mexico moving forward. Not only was the pizza absolutely delicious and made with the freshest farm to table ingredients, but it was homemade by Mamacita (Marta) herself. We walked in and she charmed us with her quick run down of why her pizza was great! From her awards to her ingredients to why she moved from NY to this tiny town to serve up pizza, we fell in love. As per Marta's recommendation, we ordered our pizza to go and ate it with crisp glasses of Lambrusco at the teeny bar next door. The bartender Tony was everything Marta said he would be--funny, charming, and polite. This stop was hands down one of our absolute favorites on our NM road trip and we cannot wait to come back. Cheers to you Marta! In our eyes, you truly define happiness! Thank you for sharing your out of this world pizza and story with us! read more

This is the best pizza I've ever eaten. It came out quickly and it came out hot! It was perfect texture and there's a covered patio so we could sit with our dogs while it rained out. Would 110% recommend making the stop, THANK ME LATER! Here's a pic of the aftermath to prove my point;) & we got the jumbo read more

WOW. I lived in New York City for 30 years and LOVED grabbing a slice of pizza at many of the fantastic New York pizza spots. I've never had a an amazing slice of pizza since leaving New York.... until NOW!!! This is GREAT pizza!! The most amazing crust... crispy, yet chewy at the same time. Delicious sauce... and just a great slice of pizza. We were on our way to Plaza Blanca, and stopped at Mamacitas for lunch. It's a one person business, and the owner is just fantastic. Super friendly, and straight to the point with her pizzas! She even gave us a map and told us EXACTLY how to get to Plaza Blanca (which is not easy to find). We even considered grabbing another pizza on the way back to Santa Fe to eat later that evening... but we didn't want to be too oink oink. HIGHLY recommend this place... Some of the best pizza I've ever had!! read more

Decent pizza but a horrific reception from the owner. Avoid this place at all costs. It's a dump. read more

Mamacita Pizzeria - If you enjoy being reprimanded and intimidated by an overbearing owner, stop here and suffer. - Pizza Near Me - Abiquiu, New Mexico

great roadrunner pizza! Great service and personable owner! Thanks for a little break from camping!

It took me about a year living here to finally catch this place when it was open. The hours are super limited and despite only being open 3 days per week they often close early. But one day I was riding on my motor bike and smelled mamacitas enticing aroma from afar. So I scooted on over to try me a pie. At first I was put off by all the audacious signs everywhere saying things like "NO CURSING" "NO YELLING" and the like. I was afraid a nun would jump out and start beating me with a ruler when I let out an expletive after I noticed I didn't bring a mask to this kooky place that requires masks OUTSIDE. Then I remembered I had this filthy old one smashed in the bottom of my backpack. At this point I'm thinking geez I'm already exhausted and I haven't even ordered yet. But I muster up the energy to order the roadrunner pizza. Soon it was ready so I strapped it on my motor bike and headed off in the horizon. The pizza was a little overcooked tbh but it was a cool experience checking out the local vibes. read more

My sister and I are from Albuquerque and we heard that this pizza was worth the drive up. We stopped for a late lunch. The owner is direct and to the point about what's available, how it can be ordered, and any accommodations that can be made. Took 15 minutes to get our pizza and it smelled amazing in the box! The owner was great and stood out front and chatted for a few minutes with us. Anyone leaving negative reviews about her obviously did not take a moment to try to engage her in conversation. She's great and having all my family from New York I certainly appreciate the direct approach and the great pizza! There are many great spots along the way to sit and enjoy the pizza. It's fresh, great crust, great flavor, and it's obviously made from scratch! I highly recommend this place if you visit. This place is a total winner as is Marta! We will be back! read more

Stopped here with my Mom after a great music weekend at Ghost Ranch. What a great end to an amazing time! Chef uses whole milk mozzarella for her pizza which was perfectly thin and crispy. She grinds her own tomatoes for the red sauce. NY style pizza in the middle of the desert!!! Wonders never cease!!! read more

Stopped by yesterday afternoon after a long morning on the road. We were looking for a dog friendly place to grab a bite. Owner gave us a quick rundown of the menu and the house rules (dogs on a leash), issued our pup a dog biscuit, we ordered a couple drinks and a pie, and waited. After a very short wait, she brought out the pizza. Knocked our socks off. Will be headed back this way soon to try out the burger, can't wait. This place is a diamond in the rough. read more

This tiny place makes and amazing crispy crust with fresh ingredients. Had the white pizza. Probably the best pizza I've had in twenty years! Well worth the stop. One person shop currently, maybe due to Covid. Owner is a character, loved it. read more

Amazing pizza -- some of the best I've tasted in all of North America. All fresh, made on the spot, piping hot, and totally delicious. This is a tiny, tiny place just off the highway; take-away only, no seating. And Marta is simply delightful to talk to while the pizza is cooking. read more

Thank you Mamacita Pizzeria! We were having a craving for NY pizza on a cold NM night and Mamacita delivered! We had the Rio Arriba and some of those fab garlic sticks! Pizza was delicious - the dough was awesome, the sauce and toppings fresh and yummy! So happy you are open and that you keep going! Thanks for the notes on the box! Special touch! From one New Yorker (and New Mexican) to another - you rock and so does your pizza! read more
