Didn't get anything fancy just the pizza and a Stromboli. The crust was excellent. Salad slice my wife got was real good as was my Sicilian slice. The Stromboli was nice also and the side of sauce was good and fresh. Guy making pizza real deal was doing some crust tosses for customers. Also not super expensive. Will be back. read more

This small eatery brands itself as an Argentinian-Italian restaurant. I ordered a slice of the Fugazzetta Pizza--onions, olive oil, Parmigianna cheese, oregano. It was loaded with onions, but it was missing the umami flavor that would have made it taste robust. Perhaps an infusion of white truffle oil would have done the trick. I also ordered a Zeppole, which was dry inside. I did not like it. I like mine moist and recently baked. Mine tasted like it had been sitting on the counter for hours. Milton took my order, and he seemed friendly. The interior was reasonably clean, so I ate inside. I am so turned off by what I had that I might not give this place another try. read more

Went today, a quiet Labor Day when most places were closed, which is precisely why I had the pleasure of trying Mamma Gina's. My cousin and I went inside and were greeted by a nice fellow behind the counter who patiently explained the difference between Grandma pizza and Sicilian pizza to her. The pizza looked really good. It was. The Grandma was very good, and crispy. The spinach pizza was so full of cheese and spinach, I couldn't even finish it, because I had already finished the other two slices... one of which was the best... an olive slice from a small pie that had a few whole (pitted) green olives and a little roasted red pepper on it. The slice had the distinct flavor of olive even when you weren't biting into one of the olives. LOVED IT. We say at a high-top table, enjoyed the atmosphere there and I had no complaints. Should I find myself back in the area looking for a decent pizza meal, this will be the spot. read more

When we walked in, we were greeted like royalty with all the staff thanking us for choosing them. Definitely made us feel welcome. My pizza craving was definitely satisfied. I wanted slices of pizza with toppings and nice cheese pull. I didn't see it on Mennonite case, they simply asked me what I wanted, I told them, and two perfect slices with my ham and meatballs appeared. I love thin pizza with crispy crust so I was in seventh heaven. My friends had a chicken wrap...lots of meat and a very big portion of which they could only finish half. The salad was fresh and quite large. Empanadas were made with a crunchy yet flaky dough perfectly crimped with a nicely flavored filling with beef, olives, and sauce. Chicken Parmesan was two good size breasts smothered in sauce with a fantastic mozzarella cheese pull. Calzone was not quite what was expected but tasted pretty good. The ice cream was the absolute fantastic best and tasted wine infused like strong rum raisin ice cream without the raisins. The warm cozy atmosphere was definitely small town mom and popish with everyone being greeted like family and literally looked like everyone who came in was known by name. There is a small bar and looks like it has a regular clientele which adds to the ambience and conversation. I've gone there twice now and each time just as good. I will definitely return. read more

Time to freshen up my review.... After being a customer for 25 years there is way to much to write. My wife and I just love this place and I will update a prior review. They have just moved into their new location on Main Street, not 1/2 mile from their prior location. This new restairant is way more than your local pizzeria. The just prepare EVERYTHING so well. They now have plenty of seating in this comfortable new spot and are working on obtaining their liquor license since they have a really nice bar. There are also plenty of TVs which will make it great for NFL game night. The owner, Omar is one of the most personable people I have ever met and he is extremely proud of his great tasting [and always fresh] food. The whole family is just the epitome of nice people. When you walk in you will see the various pizza's and rolls behind the glass on the counter and everything always looks terrific. (see the posted pictures.) They make a fabulous thin crispy crust Neapolitan pizza plain (or with any topping / or toppings you can think of. I also recommend the Grandma and Sicilian pizza . The "everything pie" is just that... all the various toppings on whole pie. It's a meal on a slice. You can get the veggie or a salad pie if you're not a meat eater. They now have a huge kitchen that is always preparing exceptional food. Chicken and veal dishes (prepared any way you would like them,) as well has the traditional ways and of course, a complete line of pasta. I highly recommend the home made lasagna and the chicken or veal parmigiana. Nicely breaded, with plenty of sauce and cheese. You can never wrong with the ziti and meatballs. The Garlic knots are the best (always fresh) since they sell so many and are always making new ones. Make sure you say hello to Omar when you walk in... It's a local place and after you've been there a few times you will be greeted by name. KUDOs to the team at Mamma Ginas read more

Ordered one Sicilian pie and one regular cheese pie and was underwhelmed. The regular pie was very average - not exceptional and not awful. If you're looking for a quick bite, a slice of cheese pizza would suffice. The Sicilian tasted a bit more artificial and not as authentic as some as the other pizzerias in the area. The sauce (in my opinion), was too sweet, The garlic knots we ordered were pretty sizable, but did lack garlic, cheese and parsley, so essentially, we got over cooked rolls. They didn't taste like anything. The staff was friendly and the food was out pretty quickly. When placing the order via-phone they let us negotiate the price of the meal which to me was a bit odd, but hey, we saved $10! The place itself is a hole-in-the-wall place with a decent selection of pies and entrees. It's also quite clean. read more

Friendly staff, great quality, welcoming environment and delicious options make this a wonderful choice

Mama Gina's is at a bright new location and still churning out the best pizza. This is our go to for pizza nights with friends. Everyone loves their pizza (even those who visit from nyc). They do a great job with the plain cheese pizza but our preferred is the grandma pies. Reasonably priced too! read more

Not impressed. Was a customer a few years ago and thought of trying again. Ordered a pie and a slice with garlic knots. Pie arrived cool and the knots were thrown in with the slice in the same box loose with no sauce. The quality isn't the same and the customer service is poor to say the least. Would not recommend. read more

Excellent service. Food is outstanding. New place, wonderful. Very state of the art. Omar, the owner couldn't a best host and his dishes are absolutely delicious. read more

Mamma Gina is a quiet, small, unassuming pizzeria/restaurant, located in a parking lot, next door to Western Beef Supermarket. I don't think I would have ever noticed it if I weren't shopping at Western Beef. I started going to Mamma Gina whenever I needed a quick bite while doing groceries. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with their pizza. It was just a convenient, quick-bite sorta place for me. I would usually just get a regular cheese slice to go. Then one day, I saw this square white slice...no, not a white slice with ricotta, but with loads of onions! I gave it a try, and this is how my love (aka obsession) for Mamma Gina started! Haha What that slice was, was a Fugazzetta Pizza...aka Onion Pizza (not to be confused with "pizza with onion topping"). It's their version of an Argentinian sweet onion, olive oil, oregano, parmesan & mozzarella cheese topped pizza on Italian-style focaccia/pizza crust. And now, it's usually my go to whenever I go to Mamma Gina. I walk in, and they ask me Onion Pizza? Haha I'm so predictable. I started out just getting a slice...now I get the whole pie! (See my photo and try not to drool. lol) Apparently, you can get this in a round pie or square pie. I always get the square version since I love the crust. A square Fugazzetta pie is $25; a square slice (which is the size of two slices) is $5.50. Give it a try and join in my obsession...Tell them the Onion Pizza lady sent ya! Haha Yummmm... read more

Mamma Ginas Pizza - Grandma & regular slice w/homemade sauce - Pizza Near Me - Mineola, New York

Upon arriving at parking lot. The shop is on the corner of a super market. Once inside. The place was pretty busy with multiple tables occupied. As for the service, the gentlemen behind the counter cheerful and ready to serve. As we waited for the fresh pie we ordered a slice to snack on. One bite....... everyone knows the rules!! I have to say I've never had such an airy and light slice in my enter life. It looked like a regular slice, tasted like a regular slice but did not weigh like a regular slice. If you're looking for a solid slice, give these folks a try. read more

This is one of those places that you will ever love or or wonder why some love it. I fall into the love it category. The thing here is the crust it must have a corn meal or something they use in Argentina that makes really crunchy. Also the Argentina deep dish pie is very tasty. In my opinion it's best pizza east of the original Umberto's (best on the Island) in New Hyde Park. read more

Long Island's best kept pizza secret. Absolutely perfection. I have had Brooklyn, Bronx, Little Italy, Chicago, and the country of Italy pizza and none as good as Mamma Gina's. The best!!! And everything else they make is just as good. read more

The garlic knots and tomato sauce is delicious. Fresh dough and the sauce is oooo la la.

Our family came from new York to just try this fantastic pizza we all people loved it and it was very well cooked also the service was good. Thank You we loved your food read more

The BEST pizza ever! Plus the staff is super friendly, not to mention an outdoor section for those warmer days

Decent pizza. Ate an eggplant slice and chicken parmesan slice. Both were pretty good, didn't like the sauce much and the eggplant was very mushy, kinda gooey. The guy at the counter was very nice and pleasant. Decent food overall but nothing out of the ordinary. Small restaurant suited more for take out. read more

I was in town visiting a friend and we stopped here because we were craving pizza. The location was great because it was very close to the train station. We ordered various slices such as the Hawaiian (which was packed with bacon, amazing) and the calzone (not pictured). If I come back to the Mineola area I will most likely eat here again! read more

Probably my new favorite pizza place Ordered a large plain cheese pizza and it was so crunchy and not greasy. Boys and girls approved. Will definitely be back read more

I'll put three stars until there's a change of experience next time I go, I'm thinking of giving them another chance. Everything somewhat runs smoothly when the owner is there. When he isn't there the guys taking the orders which are the same guys preparing your pizza aren't serious, and they did not want to make a pie for us. We like this deep dish pizza and they said they were not making it, I didn't understand why because when my friend called shortly after they said they could but it would take time, time i said I would be willing to wait while they laughed over the phone. After which, I ordered some delicious empanadas they make, when I come pick it up there was an empanada missing, an empanada they didn't charge me for which of course was right. But when I asked for them to charge me and add another empanada they decided to go back and forth on how I did not ask for that empanada. I told them that it was okay (trying to seek out a solution) and if they could make me another, their reply was it's going to take a lot of time and we can't right now. I understand. I'm very understanding, I just feel they need to be more prepared and maybe a little more serious when speaking to customers. It's in a parking lot space. There's space to park. They have outdoor seating option. Place inside isn't so spacious but enough to fit about maybe 10-15 ppl from my view. This is just my experience and my opinions. read more

I tried the Chicken Valdestano Entree. The portion was very big with two sliced chicken breast over a bed of pasta farfalla. The sauce was a little thin and watered down but had great flavor. Just wished sauce was a little thicker with more mushrooms. Very friendly staff and would recommend. read more

Trying to support local businesses in the area as all this is going on, this was one of the places we decided to try. I've lived in Mineola forever so I am sure I've eaten here at some point but not anytime I could remember so it was like a whole new experience. Pizza was amazing! Guy was super nice on the phone too. Definitely recommend for some good pizza. I'm happy during these tough times we could still get some good pizza. read more

Solid pizza and ingredients. We ordered a Grandma pie and a few slices of white and eggplant+ricotta. The marinara and cheese on the grandma were good. The grandma is also 12 slices which is a nice bump in size compared to other shops which make 9 slices pies. My only knock on their pizza is the crust. It tastes like a low protein/gluten content flour, almost like all purpose or maybe a little cake flour mixed in. So it's not as chewy as I think pizza crust should be. That said, it's still got a solid crispy layer. read more

I grew up on Long Island but have since moved away. When I come to visit I always want to have some good pizza. I did a little research and landed on Mamma Ginas. It was so good I came back the next day for a second visit. I kept it simple, slice of cheese and a slice of grandmas...both were great. A very interesting and different crust but in a good way--crunchy and airy and very tasty. Go and enjoy some top notch pizza. I will be back. read more

Well done. Classic style and delicious. No wonder why the 5 stars. See you guys soon.

The BEST pizza on Long Island with the best crust! We order from here all the time and it's always consistently delicious. Our go-tos are the grandma pie and a regular pepperoni pie. read more

I don't know why this was so difficult for them....I ordered fettuccine Alfredo with extra sauce because sometimes they lack on the sauce they provide. I pick up the order (it was done in about 5 minutes), I asked the guy if they put in utensils because I had to run to work. He said yes, everything in there. I leave, get to work....there are no utensils and no napkins. On top of that, they gave my Farfalle, not fettuccine, and whoever put the food in the container did not close it all the way, and the sauce spilled through the bag and got in my car. Like come on, I just wanted lunch before work. I called the place back, the guy barely let me get 2 words out after I told him what happened and he told me discount next time. Yeah I doubt that. read more

Great, think and crisp pizza. Good grandma too. The owner is super nice as well. Never had anything bad. Really need to try the Argentine parilla grilled meat. Looks amazing. Great "hidden" spot in the Western Beef parking lot. Purpose seating in front now. Black Sheep craft beer Mecca across the street for after pizza beverages! read more

Who woulda thought that tucked next to this Best Western Supermarket, you'd find a unique pizzeria! Mama Gina's offers great pizza for the price. The crust and the sauce are delicious and I'm always pleased with my order. My classmate raves about their garlic knots and buffalo chicken slice. The owner has been here for over 20 years, but I just discovered them recently. Give 'em a try if you're in the mood for some decent pizza on Long Island. Free delivery in Mineola and Garden City. read more

Delicious take on argentinian style pizza. The bread / crust is unique and tasty. Friendly owner.

Super crispy crust and otherwise, decent pizza. But what gives this place a star above is the owner. He's uber nice and will try his best to accommodate you. He's like the super nice Italian grandpa that you want to see making your pizza. Good prices too and they have pretty good family specials. Definitely worth a try if your into crispy crust pizza. read more

An excellent slice! I guess this place is not only Italian but also some influence from Argentina. Located attached to the Western Beef. The regular slice was great, nice crispy crust. The grandma was good too but a little too thin, I like it a little thicker. read more

Really delicious pies here. The crust is crispy, the cheese, perfectly melted and slightly browned, and the chicken rolls are absolutely amazing. Everything always tastes so fresh here. I usually order then go pick up in 15 minutes. The reason I took away one star is becaue with the chicken roll, I notice they give a sublime sauce for dipping, it tastes so wonderful. I wish their pizza sauce was similar. Don't get me wrong the pizza sauce is fine. I just wish it was a tad bit sweeter. I've had it that way else where and it just elevates the pizza to another level, in my opinion, that is what keeps this pizza from being number 1 in my book, because the crust is absolutely delicious! Their garlic knots are very good too! no garlic powder here... You get great garlic, parsley and olive oil is very good flavor as well. If you are in the area. I would not hesitate to recommend this place. Ordering some up right now! read more
