Went out for dinner with a friend. Ordered an entree Gamberoni All'Aglio, the food was ok not even great, actually I could make it better added more ingredients with the price I paid for, but man the portion was super litle for an entree. I...was so shocked when the food was served in front of me, I didnt want to make a fuss in front of my friend, but honestly I wasn't satisfied for the price I paid for! WHAT A JOKE! $28 SERIOUSLY RUBBISH! The food and the portion I get it was like a homeless begging for a food! It should only be $18 or $20 max for that portion! Not freakin' $28 with only 4 prawns! Would never come back here anymore! All the prices of the food was expensive. Wouldnt recommend it to come here, better going somewhere else. It was so quiet when I went there for dinner, I can see why it was quiet cos the restaurant was so expensive and portion of the food was crap!More

Seated outside we were able to watch the passing foot and vehicle traffic, with the sea as a back drop. Excellent attentive service, tasty pizza. Would definitely return.

Visited here with my wife. Mission Bay has a number of restaurants and if you are reading this and doing your research you may pick up on the fact that TripAdvisor reviews are thin on the ground. This place is cafe come restaurant. The service...is okay here. We had a friendly and pleasant waiter but was also looked after by the owner who took our order and brought food - he was fairly indifferent towards us. Not really sure he was too bothered about whether we had a nice time. The calamari starter was really nice. Very fresh and piping hot - also not chewy at all - very tender and would recommend. The garlic bread starter was unfortunately slightly over for our liking but we were hungry anyway. Pizza main course fairly nice - we had the Romana. A lot of cheese and I normally prefer less but that is a personal choice so no criticism there. Owner forgot to put our side salad order through so we got that half way through pizza having chased it up. In terms of bill, our calamari starter to share with garlic bread, a jumbo pizza to share with side salad, one bottle of beer and a bottle of wine to share was $166 with service then added after brought us to $186. Would we go back? I don’t think so as would like to explore other restaurants.More

There is a reason that brings us back. This place is a legend. Great food, great service, great value. But today was particularly special. Had our whole immediate family together for the first time in years and we wanted something fun, not formal, just easy,...especially with my mother with us who is increasingly restricted in mobility. Some snafu, and our booking is lost. They are full.. But. No problem. They fixed it. Put a table together quickly for our group which was quite large, and as always, great service, great humour and amazing pizza . This has to be the best neighborhood pizza store, Every time is a winner.More

Great pizza, wonderful hospitality. Bought to take away and eat at the beach over the road. It had a good topping and was exactly like I had when they first opened. I hadn't been here for years. A great surprise to see them still open...and serving traditional Italian cuisine. Thank you.More

We have always come to Mamma Mia's for atleast the last 10 years ... have not been in a while due to moving out of Auckland. Popped in today for lunch and the only saving grace was the food WHEN I finally got mine. The...lady serving us confirmed my pizza order 3 times with me and then after a 45 minute wait I got something different to what I had ordered. My husband had finished his meal before I got mine. Nothi g was cleared and they were not busy literally the 4th table in there. At 2pm a family of 5 wanted to come in and they were turned away. Just very disappointed that's all. It has changed my view on them now and also lucky we were notthirsty as we only had one drink and not offered any others.More

We come to this place whenever we crave our favourite pizza. We have never been disappointed. The seafood chowder and the tiramisu are amazing too.

We had another amazing lunch at Mamma Mia this weekend. Our group of 7 ordered various dishes, and everyone loved their meal. The highlights were their amazing calamari, perfectly cooked garlic pizza bread, impressive grilled chicken avocado salad, eye fillet steak, lasagna, and their absolutely...delicious lemon cheesecake. A very special meal with a lovely atmosphere and gorgeous views. Highly recommend it.More

Best pizza in mission bay. Our chef franco was so friendly and the sweetest guy. We ordered the pizzas to take and eat on the beach and he sat with us and talked about where he has worked in the past. Lovely family restaurant and...we will 100% be returning!!!More

Delicious Pizza and Pasta, a style of gourmet pizza, not cheap eat quick pizza. Location is very good, in front of Mission Bay beach, a centre of people gathering. Inside interior wall decorated with many memorabilia photos. Good service, plenty of choices. We tried Mamma...Mia, Margherita, Romana pizza and Spaghetti Marinara. All good.More

We went there to celebrate my wife's birthday. Was a lovely early Spring evening. We were as ever warmly greeted by the staff. There is a good reason this restaurant has survived so long, the food is constantly superb. And as we wanted anchovies on...3/4, in stead of being told all or 1/2, it was 'of course' Service was quick!More

One of my favourite restaurants!!!! We had a group of 17 and the service was amazing. Orders were quickly taken and meals arrived promptly altogether. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and were impressed the quality and quantity.
