Details

Checked tablecloths and the aroma of freshly baked Neapolitan '00' flour pizzas greet you at Mamma Mia Pizzeria, an Oxford institution since 1981. This isn't just another Italian restaurant; it's a slice of Naples in Summertown, combining traditional, authentic recipes with fabulous imported ingredients. Whether you're craving a classic Margherita, the spicy kick of an Americana Hot, or the vegetarian delight of aubergines, artichokes, and zucchini, each thin-crust pizza is crafted with care and 100% mozzarella. Beyond pizzas, the menu boasts an array of authentic pasta dishes, from a rich Spaghetti Alla Bolognese to a creamy Pollo E Funghi, ensuring every member of the family finds a favourite.

The lively, bustling atmosphere makes Mamma Mia perfect for everything from family gatherings to a relaxed meal before a show. Regulars and newcomers alike praise the consistently fresh and tasty food, with popular starters including crispy fried calamari and flavourful garlic mushrooms. The restaurant recently moved to slightly larger premises at 9 South Parade, offering improved facilities while retaining the same beloved décor, team, and, most importantly, the exceptional food and casual, friendly vibe it's famed for. They also cater well to various dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free options, ensuring a welcoming experience for everyone.

Good food, good service and spacious table for lovely time with friends!

We ordered a starter and a sharing platter, 2 small portion pasta and a pizza to share. A dessert each. The food was great!

Staff was really friendly and kept checking whether we need anything.

The restaurant wasn’t too busy in March, but recommend booking to avoid disappointment.

The bill came out as £95 for three of us.

Great little authentic feeling Italian place. Service was a little slow but that’s to be expected on a busy Friday night. The food was all piping hot and delicious which more than made up for the wait. The chocolate cake was a little dry but I would recommend the profiteroles in its place. Certainly worth a visit, but it is very busy so make sure you book in advance.

Possibly the best cheese pizza I have ever had across number of different countries. And pasta was also exceptionally good. Heck, everything was exceptional including service. It is located away from the campus and tourists but it is absolutely worth a visit. It was a pizza I’ll never forget.
