I've been coming to Mama's Pizza since I moved to Plano from San Diego in 2005. I usually go to Buffett and they have a salad bar(I really like the salad bar, they have a good one), different kind of pizza, cheese bread, tomato sauce, pasta and cinnamon rolls. They now have a lunch Buffett, I think from 11am to 2pm. I went there about 1pm and it wasn't too packed. They didn't have a veggie pizza out there, so I had cheese bread with tomato sauce and ranch dressing from the salad bar and they were delicious!!! It's just a great, friendly place to eat in my neighborhood and I like to support the local business. read more

It's been a minute since I've eaten at Mama's pizza and decided to stop in and eat with my husband for lunch. As usual the staff was friendly, the price reasonable, and the food delicious! I grew up in Plano and this was the spot during lunch time and on weekends. I've been on a Keto diet for almost 6 months now with absolutely NO bread during this time but decided to enjoy myself and have a few slices. It was absolutely worth it and was everything I knew it would be. I LOVE the salad bar here and they are one of the few places that offer creamy Italian dressing! read more

One of the best pizza buffets around. The cinnamon rolls are really good. I also enjoyed the salad bar. They even have hard boiled eggs. They only put a few pizzas out at a time but they are very fresh. read more

Pizza was undercooked the crust was so soft I can't stand soft crust. Definitely could use some improvement!

The pizza is terrible. A frozen pizza from the store would be better. It has a small salad bar. The woman that took our order was pretty rude and pushy. Will not be back. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

We've only talked about coming here for the 15+ years we've lived in Plano. This is definitely a hometown favorite. Why? All-you-can-eat buffet that's reasonably priced and tasty food. At $6.95 per adult, you really can't go wrong and the constant flow of families testifies they've found the right price point for what's on offer. You can fill up on a very fresh salad bar (though I wish the hard boiled egg was sliced or chopped instead of being whole boiled eggs ... a little odd). Or head straight to the pizza. Lots of topping choices, but all pizzas are on original-style crust (no thin crust options). That's ok, too, you just need to know that and maybe go somewhere else if you are a thin crust lover. You can also get marinara and cheese sticks, but make sure you save room for the cinnamon rolls. I'd read lots of reviews about the cinnamon rolls and every one of them praised them. Trust the reviews. The rolls are something special. Other plus factors: You can buy beer (Shiner and Deep Ellum are among the choices!), or get water or soda. Plenty of high chairs to grab and seat the littles. The space is small so you'll do some crawling between tables and wait in pinch points to get to the salad or the pizza lines. But you know what? Everyone is so darn nice that it's just not a big deal at all. We'll definitely be back. read more

Mama's Pizza - The famous cinnamon rolls. - Pizza Near Me - Plano, Texas

If you like pizza buffets and want a break from CiCi's, check out Mama's! It has that 80's/ 90's feel to it. It seems like that place you went as a kid or in high school and those memories come back when you go as an adult. (I had a pizza place like this in New Orleans but I'm here now and I get that same vibe) You're able to make requests for pizza that you want! The slices are cut small so that you're able to sample other pizzas without wasting food. There's a salad bar, pasta bar, pizza and dessert (cinnamon rolls). Unlimited soda refills and an old school arcade game for the kids. TIP: Bring a handful of quarters if you have kids. They have those gum ball/ prize machines where you inert quarters. I promise your kids rarely see this and it's cool to see their reaction when they use it! The door is great and the prices are even greater. It's a great night out alone, on a date (not a first date!!!) or with family/ friends. You can feed everyone and not break the bank. Check it out! read more

Not good pizza! It's buffet but the only thing that was good was the soda machine. I thought Cici's was terrible until I came here.

Even going to mama's pizza since 1978 - pizza is second to none - one of my all time favorites Thanks to the Petta brothers for cresting this awesome restaurant read more

Food is pretty good. Atmosphere is a bit small when they are crowded. Our family enjoys eating here

Wow! After all these years I decided to grab a simple pepperoni pizza, and the first bite validated why this place has lasted all these years! I grew up in Plano and graduated in the 90s so this place still being around speaks for itself. read more

Great place with very nice people working here their salad bar and pizza are excellent

The cheese and pepperoni on the pizza were good but the crust was tough and killed the pizza for me.

Brought a friend for the buffet since I haven't been here since I retired (just in time before covid!). The pizza was just as good as I remembered. Very good. And the salad was good - very fresh & crisp lettuce, lots to add and the wonderful ranch dressing. I splurged & had the cinnamon roll too. We went about 11:15 before it got too crowded. It was an enjoyable trip & I'm so glad we went. They sure work hard to keep the pizzas coming, the salad bar refilled and keeping the cinnamon rolls available. Customers were good about waiting in line - good thing as I would have hit someone with a plate if they tried to reach across me. I went back a few times but, well, it was just good. read more

Really good pizza, plenty of options. Would highly recommend buffet pizza for its taste and price point.

Great pizza. I loved it. Home made ranch too. Small place but man the service is top notch.

I know...shows like 10 years between visits...well it's not been 10 years, and sometimes...I don't always check in. My bad! haha. Mama's Pizza is a Plano staple! Unfortunately, COVID-19 has stopped their buffet...but not their pizza! Ordered a medium 1/2 pepperoni, 1/2 black olives and all mushroom tonight. It is very good, and will continue into tomorrow for lunch. haha. Why not 5 stars? well...the pizza is good and the staff is great. but is the pizza 5 star great? maybe 4.3? Anyways, it's good, try them out. Prices are very reasonable and as I mentioned, the staff is great! Parking can get tight when busy, other businesses in the area too. read more

Went there yesterday and literally ate my weight in pizza. And then, unfortunately I found the cinnamon rolls. They were wonderful and we just kept eating them! Shame on them for making such good cinnamon rolls. My diet has been set back at least a couple weeks. read more

I have lived in Texas for 45 years. When we were younger we got all of our pizzas from Mamas in Carrollton, it was exciting, like a huge treat.I never have been to this one all this time, so I was so excited and then so disappointed. The salad bar made Cici's look amazing. I was excited they had whole boiled eggs...that probably had been boiled for 30 minites..They would probably be great as bouncing balls. I then got 2 breadsticks and 2 slices of pizza. I used over 6 napkins to sop up the grease, still had maybe 4 bites, also everything was so salty..Then I thought I would give 1 last effort to "the amazing cinnamon rolls" it tasted like a Grands cinnamon roll on steroids. So yes I hate giving negative reviews. Oh and the sweet lady who busts her butt clearing the dishes. People leave her a small tip, for your 10 plates on the table. read more

The perfect hub of delicious pizza and pure nostalgia. As a fan of buffets, Mama's is one of the few places left post-Covid that gives you the pure enjoyment of returning to your table with plates piled to your hearts content. The wait for a fresh slice is never long, and even on the busiest evenings, the staff is cheerful and swift with their works. I've been to this place a ton since I was a kid, and the old timey mood is the piece de resistance for this restaurant. The arcade cabinet and candy machines add to the ambience of the joint, making it the perfect place for families of all sizes and ages. Even when you're full to the brim of salad, pizza, and cheesy bread-no evening is completed without a warm, buttery cinnamon roll. Their buffet deal is perfectly priced-and the food hits the spot whenever I happen to drop by. Mama's pizza, you'll always be my favorite pizza place! read more

The staff is friendly but the people that eat here are very judgmental me and my boyfriend are black every time he got up I notice multiple heads turn from old white people and as well when I get up people would stare me down as if I'm supposed to be scared of them first time coming it will be my last due to the people here I felt judged just by eating read more

The lunch buffet is fantastic because the pizza and desert are delicious. Price is reasonable too.

My daughter and I are originally from Arlington. Mama's Pizza in Arlington was our go to pizza. It's been around for years! We moved to Frisco and we miss our pizza place. Then my daughter found out there is one in Plano so we went the next night. Omg it was absolutely delicious. So happy to have a pizza place we love so close. Now if we could just get a Dino's in Frisco!! That would be Heaven!! read more

Good pizza, buffet, & salad bar. Staff is friendly & helpful. Fun place for families & children of all ages.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday and it was fairly busy. The buffet line is small and can get congested quickly. They were a bit slow to put out hot pizzas. I feel like the options were more limited that previous visits. The pizza tasted fine and the salad bar was okay. The tables could have been cleaner. The cinnamon rolls only taste good hot! I will say that they can accommodate larger groups! read more

It was difficult to leave San Diego and move to Dallas. However, I'm happy to be living in a place that offers some buffet options (even though Dallas doesn't seem to have as many as I expected). During our first night in Dallas, "constant companion" found Mama's Pizza while he was looking for a buffet. He sold me on it when he said that it was around $7/person. I'm still in reverse sticker shock from California prices, so this seemed insane to me. We came here on a Sunday night, which turned out to be the perfect time. It wasn't too busy but it was busy enough for them to have a constant supply of fresh pizzas. I heard them call out a lot of different topping variations while we were sitting in our booth. Some people complained on other reviews that they have a small selection, but I think it's a good idea to only have four pizzas out at a time. They stay fresh. The worst thing about pizza buffet is old pizza, and they avoid that at Mama's. Besides being fresh, the pizza is pretty good (for buffet). I don't think I'd order any of the pizzas on their own, but I did really enjoy the pretzel like crust. It was tasty! They also have a salad bar, pasta with marinara, cheesy bread, and cinnamon rolls. I was very happy with the selection. The place was clean and the food was good. Those are two things that I can't say about Cici's, which everyone seems to compare to Mama's. When you compare them, it's really no contest though. I compel you to choose Mama's. You'll thank me afterwards. read more

Such an old place! Great food, great price, great people. Yummy pizza, and great salad. The cinnamon rolls are good! read more

They have the most incredible Buffet. And if they don't have what you want on buffet. Just ask them what you special order will be out in 7 to 10 minutes. Just enough time to eat their incredible salad bar. read more

We tried this place for the first time and we left pretty pleased. It's definitely 100% better than Cicis!!! They do have a tasty and fresh salad bar with excellent ranch dressing . The cinnamon rolls were excellent!!! Will come back just for that !! The pizza was okay and hit the spot. It's a small selection of pizza but it still was satisfying. Not to mention the price for the pizza buffet $6.95 that was the best part. read more

I went to dinner here a did the buffet $7.90. They have better quality than Cici's but they are a little more limited on options as they only have 4 different pizzas out at a time. They have good Italian Sausage as you can taste the seasoning. They also have great ranch that goes perfectly with their pizza. The only dessert they have is a cinnamon roll and it is quite tasty. The plus side to having so few pizzas out is they stay fresher longer as they flip them quicker. The sauce is where the pizza fell short for me. Not bad but not great, I might go back. read more

Great Buffet & very reasonable prices. Love the retro arcade theme as well. We will definitely be going back!!

First time guests, we loved it! Missed the buffet, unfortunately, but did pizzas and the salad bar. Food is great, salad bar is super fresh, staff is nice, LOVE the buttered crust, and very cool mom and pop restaurant atmosphere. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

Mamas Pizza is AMAZING!! I've been going there since I was a child and I highly recommend!! The dinner buffet is awesome but it's still worth the visit at lunch!! The pizzas are amazing and there's a great amount of pizza sizes and topping options. They also have a salad bar which is pretty darn cool. The pizza crust is really good too. Im picky about crust so I don't always eat pizza crust but Mamas Pizza pizza crust has the perfect amount of butter to make your mouth water for more. Always great pizza any time I go, never disappointed read more

Love the pizza but probably will never go back. Came in after a soccer game with my 7 year old and was told there was only 5 minutes left on the Buffett and that they Would not make anymore pizza. Asked for a pepperoni and a cheese and she said no, it takes 10 minutes to make pizza. With so many options in Plano with much better customer service I don't think it's worth the rudeness to eat at an establishment like this. Farewell and so long MaMas, until you replace that rude manager I don't think I'd ever spend another dime here. read more

Great prices, plenty of pizza, pasta, and salad. excellent place to take the crew and family for good food at a good price. Support local business. read more

How did I even describe my history with Mama's pizza?!?!? Let's just say anyone that's been born and raised in the Plano area will know that Mama's pizza has the BEST pizza known in the P-town area! The mom and pop pizza shop is located in central Plano right off of Parker and Custer street. I ALWAYS go for the pizza buffet because I mean why wouldn't you!?!? The pizza buffet emphasizes on an overall quality over quantity (unlike cici's pizza or Mr. Gatti's). I think the best part would have to be that you are able to order any type of pizza you would like while enjoying the buffet price! The salad bar contains one of the freshest ingredients that would normally be very questionable while dining at other pizza competitors. The watery ranch is the key element that makes the local Texan so loyal to the pizza joint! Overall, I stronglyyyyy recommend coming here for the pizza buffet and I can promise you will NOT be disappointed! I absolutely love every little thing about this place and I know y'all will to! Two thumbs up!! read more

After not visiting for two or so years (for no particular reason) I decided to drive a bit further and enjoy some pizza on lunch break. Wow what a change they've made in their pizza recipe and decidedly NOT for the better, sadly. I distinctly remember the thick pretzel crust and the sweet/savory sauce, neither of which to be found on this day in May, 2021. It feels as if they've replaced the hand made product with something akin to rubber from a restaurant supply truck. i asked when the recipe change occurred and was met with a rather defensive,' it's the same'. Oh well. Message conveyed. Hopefully if this is a recent thing the old process can be recalled before it's too late. read more

It's far from me, but worth the drive. Pleasing my son is not easy when it comes to pizza. But, this is some great pizza! It's pricey compared to chain pizza places, but worth it if you're splurging. The buffet is only $7.50, and I'd recommend that because it's a good value. The salad bar is basic, but not bad. Nothing extra. You'll still walk away happy! read more

Best pizza place ever, the buffet is great and love the staff that works there. Small environment with great food!!
