Checked tablecloths and the aroma of freshly baked, thin-crust pizzas greet you at Mamma Mia on Walton Street, a cornerstone of Oxford’s Jericho neighbourhood since its second branch opened here in 2009. This award-winning pizzeria, part of an Oxford institution that first fired up its ovens in Summertown in 1981, prides itself on traditional, authentic Italian recipes. Expect generous toppings on their hand-made pizzas, with popular choices including the Mamma Mia special, laden with spicy pepperoni, ham, artichokes, and more, alongside classic pasta dishes and indulgent homemade desserts like tiramisu. It’s a place that has consistently focused on fresh ingredients, some sourced locally and others directly from Italy, ensuring a genuine taste in every bite.

Arrived early evening when it started out quiet and got much busier as the evening went on.
We shared a starter, which was delicious. Had a pizza each, which was filling and tasty.
Couldn't fit in a large dessert, so I went for more drink related dessert, which was still lovely and finished a really pleasant meal perfectly.
Would recommend this restaurant. Thank you for a great meal.
It's a shame as the food was delicious. The pizza dough was the best we had in years!!!
Service was quick, child friendly.
Eating outside was so comfy
