“ My first time coming to Mamma Rosa's, in which I've heard a few different opinions about the place (positive and negative), but today I decided to try it and gain an opinion of my own... Furthermore, in my experience? I'd say it's definitely worth going to, being that I ordered a medium sized Supreme Pizza, yum, delicious.. and with that said, I look forward to trying something different the next time I go... oh, and also the atmosphere as well as the service, I'd say really good. ”
