This is THEE most slept on pizza in town. As someone who prefers mom and pop restaurants over franchises - I would highly recommend. We got the meat pizza, vodka pasta with chicken and a caeser salad. The vodka pasta was by far the most authentic I've ever had. The meat pizza was OVERLOADED with meat which I loved (not missing any protein goals around here!). And the caeser was good. The garloc knots kinda fell flat for me because they were a little hard and cold. But the service was great. Food was made quickly and staff was so friendly. We got it to carryout but plenty of people were dining in so I'm sure that would be a great option too! read more

Best pizza South of Trenton! The crust is thin and crispy and they use only the best ingredients. I haven't had a bad experience here.

This is for the Clermont location. Just ordered a pie. First and foremost, I've never had an issue with the pizza . However, it seems as if they have someone else making the pies tonight. The pizza was doughy and extremely chewy. I could only put down one slice. I normally eat three. This is the first time this has happened. Please bring back your original pizza maker. The under carriage has to be somewhat thin and crispy. It has to stand up the fold test. If it flops your pizza maker flops out of a job. I would give it 2 stars . I gave it a 4 star so it doesn't affect the Groveland location. read more

Everything I've ordered from here is absolutely delicious! I've only ordered thru Uber eats only so far, but I'm sure to stop in one of these days. Highly recommend read more

The food was excellent. We had their pizza and hoagies for lunch. Our server Donna was wonderful. The restaurant was very clean and had an open feel to it. It was just like you were in either Italy or NY. We will definitely return to try the macaroni and meat dishes! read more

Outstanding!!!! Finally a New York Style pizza place. We love the upside down Grandma. Almost a dupe to L& B Spumoni from Brooklyn. The basic round pizza was delish as well... read more

First time at this establishment where we ordered a thin crust Pepperoni and Onion pizza to go. The pizza was well cooked with a nicely cooked crust, generous amounts of toppings and most importantly very tasty. Definately a place to consider if you are in the area and and are a fan of thin crust well made Pizza. read more

The pizza is great. I placed a $60 order including pizza, wings, cheesy bread, etc. The mild chicken wings were ok, not flavorful or fresh and had barely any sauce. I wouldn't order them again. The cheesy bread was highly disappointing as it was literally sub sandwich bread with tons of garlic and little cheese thrown on it so flavor and presentation was awful. read more

As soon as we entered the lobby we were greated by very friendly staff and seated ourselves. Place was decent for family lunch. Pizza was delicious. It was thick but not doughy with just enough crispy edges and not burnt. Everything else was lacking flavor. Not enough salt or seasoning very bland but you could add it there from the table seasoning rack to your liking but I would have loved not having to do to much of that. Our server Jasmine was very nice and answered all of our questions. She was on it. Making sure we had everything we needed and our food arrived hot to the table. read more

We just finished a meatball pizza from Mama Rita's in Clermont I can honestly say it was absolutely the best pizza we've had since moving down here almost 20 yrs ago. Also tried the arincini, it was amazing!!..this is now the only place we will order from read more

Excellent food!! Pizza is amazing thin crust very Italian, not NY style which is great. I live NY style but this pizza took me back to Italy. Portions are generous, salad very fresh and desserts are great. Nice music and peaceful atmosphere. Will be back for sure, and highly recommend. read more

Again, I was tricked into the facade that was reminiscent of a pizza parlor in Queens, NY. You first walk in and it was laid out very cramped. We wanted to order a Sicilian pie but was told he might not want to make it because some odd reason. Then the owner came to the counter mumbling about how we just opened blah, blah, blah. So they agreed to make a Sicilian pie, OH BOY! It was delivered to the table and we all looked at it. The general concensus was WTF! Yup WTF. In my whole life have I ever seen such a Sicilian pie such as this. The crust was a wee bit over cooked as the bottom of the slices had charcoal spots. The razor thin layer of sauce lacked any flavor whatsoever. There was more flavor in the napkins then the sauce. The cheese, what cheese? It was like a pinch of cheese on each slice. We each had a slice and politely hid our remains in a bunch of napkins and asked for a box so that we could discard it in the outside trashcan. We paid 47.00 for a Sicilian pie 1 water in a bottle 2 sodas in cans. If your looking for authentic pizza stray away from this place. So to sum it up, Don't be fooled like I was by the facade. The pizza fell short on size and flavor and presentation. Truth be told save your hard earned money. You'd probably have better luck eating out of a dumpster out back of Dominos read more

This is a place that has never disappointed me to date. One of the few places that serves a great gnocchi. While my wife and I like more cheese, one can't complain. The steak and cheese in the pictures might look dry,but the cheese lies below and the sauce is waiting on the side. The pizza was cheesy and it was in and out to pick up goodness. No one complained and the eats were great on the tummy read more

Mamma Rita's has a pretty strong following in Groveland so I was excited to give them a try. I ordered four large pies... pepperoni & sausage, pepperoni & bacon, half cheese & half pineapple and a veggie. The crust was very good and they load on a decent amount of toppings. The bacon & pepperoni was the group favorite. The others were a close second with the exception of the veggie pie. The pie looked amazing but the vegetables were over cooked to almost stewed. They lost their natural flavor and were not appealing at all. read more

I saw this place on Yelp and had my doubts but today we were on way back from Tampa and ready to eat so we decided to try it. We tried the arancini balls and it wasn't like any arancini I've ever had. Wait, I didn't mean to make it sound like it was bad; in fact, it was a mix between a Latino papa rellana (stuff potato) and a arancini, you have to try because it was tasty and very light. Only complaint would be balls suggests two or more and what you get is one split in half, not two for me. The pizza was super thin and no where in this area has it Jersey thin like here. Sausage was sliced but with a good taste. Bon Appetite! Waitress was fantastic, thank you Pamela. read more

The chicken parmigiana taste like a frozen chicken patty from the supermarket. The marina taste like ketchup.... And the carrot cake we ordered looks like someone ate the bottom half. Overpriced for what it is. Probably not going back. read more

I went into Mamma Rita's today with my father, and had a pretty bad experience. We were seated immediately and asked what we wanted to drink. We were the only people in the restaurant and it took at least 10 minutes to get our drinks. The waitress was friendly but pretty indifferent to us but perked up when a larger table came in. We ordered stuffed shells and chicken marsala respectively, my stuffed shells were ok at best, and not particularly hot. The chicken marsala looked awful and not appetizing at all to my father, who sent it back. They at least took that marsala off the bill. We got no apologies from management, as they left the uncomfortable moments for the waitress to handle. We left feeling as if our business meant absolutely nothing to them. If you want good Italian food, avoid Mamma Rita's. We'll never go back. read more

entire experience was not worth it and the food was even more of a let down. our server was not friendly, accommodating or observant at all. Food was overcooked, under-seasoned, and all out gross. I got a margarita and it was so strong that you couldn't taste the actual drink. seafood was rubber in all three meals that my family got. Rice ball was over cooked and rice was beyond mushy. Had pizza here before and was super pleased but anything else but that I would recommend to reconsider. The place was nice and quiet and the other servers were nice. Unfortunately this is a place we will not try again read more

We had house salads and calzones. Both were good and the calzone was a generous size. Silverware was not cleaned thoroughly so I grabbed another setting. Waitress was friendly but a little slow. Please note that the check had an additional charge for payment with a credit card. I would visit again to try a pasta dish. read more

tried calling the phone number but the mailbox is full . I ordered a pizza, Stromboli and fried calamari for the family. Fried calamari was terrible for $14. it was so over cooked that it was just burnt breading, you could not eat. They have it set up that you can't call to let them know. read more

Wonderful food at reasonable prices. Service is great. Isabelle is a gem! I'll definitely be going back for more!

We have been here 4 times over 6 months for dinner and the AC has not and still does not work.They have not repaired. They have fans but do nothing for temp. We have been at 5pm every time. Lunch time might be fine but when people want to have an early dinner, unacceptable. And the place only had a few tables and everyone had to wait an exorbitant amount of time. Food is really good but with the heat and the wait i cannot recommended. Please fix the problems. read more

I dont know what's going on with this place. It used to be good. I paid $76 for 2 pies and chicken wings. Got them home, and they were dry and hard. Worst wings ever. Pizza was ok. I don't mind paying for good food, but this was not worth $76. And I am done with this place. read more

Our server Autumn was so so sweet. We went on Mother's Day weekend and she wrote on our to go boxes to say Happy Mothers Day. The only thing we did not like was that the AC did not seem to work and OMG my kids and I had to get up amd go to the car, I felt like I was gonna pass out. We wouldn't go back just because of that. Again all of the staff were very friendly. It's not their fault the AC wasn't working. The pizza was good, my pasta I was not a fam of, but again I was so hot and uncomfortable I didn't even want to eat. read more

Heyyy Farrah was great!!! Thank you Mamaritas the cheese cake was sin. My family enjoyed it...

This has got to be the most unprofessional establishment I have been to ever. I have never walked into a restaurant, ordered to eat in, sat down, and then had to listen to a (owner, boss, manager, chef or whoever the heck he was because I didn't care enough to ask) yell, cuss, and fuss at the top of his lungs for 10 mins before my food even arrived. The poor waitress was so embarrassed she came around and apologized for him but I will not be coming back to this establishment again. Totally inappropriate. read more

I love this place. They make the best Penne ala Vodka around. They also have the best Sicilian slice. So go check it out. My review is more about the ones who went there once and I get you had a bad experience and for that I understand why the rating. But what really upsets me is that after only one visit you say " will never be back". So have you ever had a bad burger from McDonald's or BK or Wendy's??? I'm sure you have yet you go back. We hold mom and pop style places to a standard we don't hold fast food places to yet there systems should never produce bad products. My point is these local businesses need our support and sometimes you just have a bad experience. But give them another shot and after that if you're done I understand. But let's be fair all the way across the board. read more
