    I went here for lunch month or so ago while visiting the old town I grew up in…read more I saw that there was now a pizzeria downtown, and I wanted to try it. I'd been around Stanford as a child when we got the town's first pizza place. . .and 40 years ago that Pizza Hut was revolutionary. I remember in the 1990's when we got a few little "mom & pop" pizza delivery places there too. So, seeing that there was a pizzeria in town as a sit-down place, I figured I'd want to try it next time I was in town. I will say that the actual Pizza itself was pretty dang good. The ambiance and decor were also the best (by far) of any pizza place that Stanford has ever had. I will say, there are two notable criticisms that dented my enthusiasm for the place however. First is, they have a VERY limited lunch menu. I went there on lunch only to find their lunch menu is literally postcard sized and only one option of a specific combo meal. . .choose what two toppings you want on your pizza, and which of two salads you want with that. I'd heard about some of their other pizzas, and was very disappointed I couldn't have those. Second is. . .who uses kale as the base green for a Caesar salad? I get trying to be creative and such, but when you literally only have two salad options on the menu, and the usual favorite of a Caesar salad has kale as its green base, that's a little TOO experimental for what I was hoping to be a comfort food lunch at a small-town pizza place. I'll give it a bit of credit for wanting to try new things. . .but some times you just want familiar comfort food. If I'm there at some point in dinner hours I may come back and find the place is better when I can order off the full menu, and I'll say it's a step up from the mass-market pizza joints that Stanford has had in the past. . .but I just can't justify a top rating for this place right now.

    After passing it many times, curiosity led the Fat Man and his wife to Mama Devechio's Pizzeria in…read moredowntown Stanford, Kentucky, known for its Neapolitan-style, stone-fired pizzas made with local ingredients. We decided to try a couple of different pies to see what this place had to offer. We started with The Kentuscany. This pizza was made with smoked pork, goat cheese, sweet red onions, and bourbon sorghum reduction. The crust had a great chew, texture, and crunch. There is a great buttery, salty flavor that melts in your mouth. The pork was dry but had good taste and some smoky notes. The red onion adds crunch, while the goat cheese has an incredible salty creaminess that the sorghum reduction mellows out and cuts through with its sweetness. The next pizza we sampled was a Cheese pizza with pepperoni, beef, and banana peppers. Once again, the crust was phenomenal with a great crunch, buttery flavor, and chew. The cup pepperoni was mild in spice with good beef flavor. The beef had a good, mellow taste, but it was dry and overcooked. The banana peppers add a great acid from the vinegar, but the cheese didn't have the melty, ooey-gooey stretch that pizza should have, almost like the cheese was out of a bag. Mama's also offers a Savor Flight of their sauces or dips. We tried the Marinara, Tuscany Ranch, Calabrian Chili Ceaser, and Pesto. The ranch was very thick, fresh, and dill-forward, with a cooling balance and a hint of salt. This was some of the best homemade ranch that I have ever had. The chili was salty, with a lot of heat on the backend, and the Parmesan cheese added texture. The marinara was thick and chunky, with delicious tomato flavor. The pesto was vibrant green, chunky, fresh, and had great flavor and texture from the pine nuts. However, all of the sauces were served cold. The ranch and Calabrian Chili were fine that way, but the marinara and pesto should have been served warm. Mama's features a small menu of pizzas, salads, sandwiches, breadsticks, and desserts, plus a full bar with beer and wine. The Fat Man says that Mama Devechio's Pizzeria is Fat Man Approved with 1 chin.
