Terrific pizza in a casual atmosphere |
1813 W Berry St Fort Worth, TX 76110 United States +1 817 923 3541 http://www.mamaspizzas.net/sto... |
This may just be the best pizza in the state of Texas. This modest little hole in the wall doesn't have fancy décor, but the 20-inch Mama's Special is an outstanding experience, with a warm, chewy crust and savory seasonings. Ask for plain cheese or any combination of 12 tasty toppings. If a 20-inch pizza seems like too much of a great thing, there are four smaller sizes available ranging from 8-16 inches. Try the lunch buffet and get all-you-can-eat pasta and salad to go with this terrific pizza. Review © 2007, Wcities |
