Mamma Mia in Islington

Called pre match at the emirates, staff were polite and friendly and the pizza was wonderful. £32 for 2 pizza and 2 cokes

Me and my gf got food poisoning from this place, do not recommend at all

Paolo's Pizzeria Mama Mia is exactly what you want when you need a proper Italian pie, a beer, and North London Italian hospitality. The only thing that would make it a 6/5 would be a signed poster of Calafiori on the wall, but that is in his hands, not Paolo's. I'm sure it won't be long 🇮🇹

Very tasty pizza, nice service, pleasant atmosphere

Fermati per caso con un mio amico e mio figlio. Una piacevole sorpresa nel cuore di Londra. Pizza alta, e sopratutto pizza veramente buona. Da italiani siamo rimasti davvero soddisfatti

Best Italian food outside of Italy

Wer eine richtige Pizza vom Italiener sucht, der wird hier fündig. Auch der Burger ist sehr gut. Freundlicher Empfang des Besitzer. Nur für kleine Gruppe da beschränkter Platz.

Food was pretty good. The owners were super rude though, just took it take out. Pizza was solid though.

Extremely rude chef/owner. We went in with my family for a pizza, but he killed our appetite when he surprised us with a good scolding unprovoked, seeming confused about whether we wanted to place an order or not yet we had just placed it with him in person a few minutes ago and were waiting for him to serve it to us. He will literally take out his language barrier issues on you. There was no way we were going to continue sitting down and enjoy his pizza after his outburst. We left confused about what he was going on and on about, wondering if he's struggling with some form of dementia or just outright rude!

Kind chef and server, reasonable price. Everything was perfect to me. I orderd the lunch set menu which includes a margherita pizza and meatballs like the picture.

Hemos ido a hacer el tour del campo del Arsenal y al terminar hemos visto este pequeño restaurante, hemos comido allí y estaba todo muy bueno, se nota q es casero.Lo recomiendo

As it name says their pizza is "Mamma mia"! Love it! Lovely staff, awesome pizza and I was surprised with the price which was under my expectations since it's London!

Pizzas are just so good. Thanks

Pablo the owner of Mamma mia London is best guy you can wish, he gave us a weekend to remember for a life time during the Arsenals last season game as he’s locate next to the emirates stadium. We love you Pablo and Justin!! The drinks and food were perfect!! Greetings from the dutch crew!!

We popped in after the game yesterday just before closing time. Our party of four were welcomed and treated to superb pizzas and lasagna. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Will visit again.

Lovely mom and pop restaurant, loveliest of couples with authentic pizza and amazing tiramisu!

The food in here is unbelievable, reasonably priced and yeah I highly recommend it to everyone.

I have nothing to say about the staff and the food and drink... But I do have something to say about the prices... To the point that after we complained about the price, the owner, who is also the cook, became quite aggressive... Another thing I have to say is that charging these prices and not declaring or registering as an invoice is avoiding taxes…

Never order here, I never received the order, I called twice they told me “the order will arrive in 5 minutes. » this one never happened. Thank you to the UberEats service for resolving the problem and issuing a direct refund. To flee.

Popped in here for a Match Day Breakfast of pizza and burgers. Accompanied by my parents, sister and boyfriend, we sat outside, taking in the pre-match excitement as the player coaches rolled past us. The burgers were pretty standard, perhaps overpriced but reasonable given the circumstances. The pizza was gorgeous! I'd definitely get the pizza instead if I were to come here again. Going to the toilet was also an experience not to be missed, as you were able to walk through the kitchen to see the staff hard at work and the to-be-cooked burgers stacked high in the corner, just waiting to be fried. Also quick service so great to come here before a game. Arsenal till I die.

Asked to pay bill before receiving drinks and food. Charged an additional 12% service charge without telling. Chef setup table.. waiters busy chatting in kitchen

Mamma Mia is a local gem. Paolo transports me back to Italy every time with the authentic, delicious pizza and the atmosphere of a small pizzeria down an Italian side street. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Fabulous, great service and food. Atmosphere fun and friendly, great choice of dishes on menu. Paolo is a great host and chef! Highly recommended.

Phoned and politely asked if I could order food. I was asked for my order but once I said I wished to order their special that they advertise on boards outside the shop of margarita pizza and meatballs I was rudely told no and they were closing and had the phone slammed down on me, So it seems they close at 9 on a Friday night, despite appearing very open when I went past just before. Won’t be bothering again, so many other places that can at least be polite to people. If they don’t want to serve the special then I can’t understand why they are advertising it so prominently.

The best pizza that I have ever taste in London.

Super good pizzas!! I recommend

Very generous toppings, the quality of cheese is also much better than many other pizzerias of this kind.

Great little pizzeria - well-priced, authentic and tasty! Service super quick. Dog friendly too

Good food but very bad service, I don't recommend anyone to come here. I went with my friends and they started to scream at us while we ate.

Love coming here for lunch whenever I’m in Islington or heading to the Arsenal. Great food and service!

Very poor service, asked if they were open he said yes, we sat down and the staff weee tidying up and folding up the tables around us, food come separately, no cutlery or napkins felt very rushed as the staff were waiting around us to finish so they could close, and still got charged 12.5% service charge, pizza was mediocre, should have gone to Nando’s across the road

Very poor service, asked if they were closed, he said no, so we sat down and then they started putting all the tables away around us , food came out separate not all together and then felt rushed because they were all waiting for us to finish so they could close.no cutlery, no napkins and still got charged 12.5% service charge, Pizza wasn’t all that either, Should have gone to Nando’s across the road

The arancina is so good! Definitely order some here if you’re looking for a good one in London

I put one star as no choice but I DIDNT attend. I tried to book a table for myself and 2 children having looked at the menu and finding it reasonable. The email reply was - yes I can book but it’s £25 pp fir a pizza or lasagne and a drink. Given a margarita was less than a tenner I said no thanks. I don’t like being conned and I am assuming the price hike was to do with a certain band playing the emirates that day. Disappointing

Lovely building and excellent food as always. Staff were all very friendly and attentive.

We ordered Mamma Mia and La Mortadella. Both great!

This place is quaint and charming! The pizzas were incredible and the owner was so fabulous and accommodating. Highly recommend anyone to come check out this amazing restaurant!

What a lovely place! Really authentic Italian, cooked fresh. We all enjoyed our food very much and will be back again when next at Arsenal! Thank you!

Tasty! I would say better than other pizzeria in the area.

Really nice spot for tasty pizza in a small cozy place. The staff is friendly and the place is charming. Good quality-price!

Cannot complain. Amazing pizza. Amazing service. Would recommend to anybody

Very authentic vibe and delicious pizza and pasta. Owner is very lovely, too. Will be back!

Excellent pizzeria. La salle est petite mais le service est vraiment très bien. Il y a un grand choix de plats. Les pizzas sont excellentes. Les produits sont très bons. Nous avions réservé mais il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde

Good pizzas but extremely rude owner. It is a pitty but I won't return there. We tried two times as everybody has a bad day .. but we could understand that he is just rude.

Wonderful. A small piece of Italy in London. Wonderful owner, music, tastes!

Ate at Pizzeria Mama Mia the other night and the meal was fabulous - fresh pizza, great ingredients, friendly staff - an excellent dining experience - would recommend to anyone!

Authentic Italian! Best restaurant in Holloway

A mate and I visited here ahead of an Arsenal Women's game in December 2022 (1-0 loss against Lyon) and felt like getting some food before kick-off. Stumbled upon Mamma Mia and the pizza was terrific. It was very quick too and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Meatballs and pizza are amazing. It's a bit cold in there (temperature) but apparently

Sorry but i cannot recommend this place. Placed an order and had to chase them 4 times and took over 1h 30mins for them to even acknowledge the the order.

Watch you credit card. Sitting i Copenhagen i just paid 389 pound for pizza on my creditcard. FRAUD

The restaurant kicked us out just because we ordered one pizza and told us people are waiting but there was literally no one waiting outside the restaurant. The chef talked to us so rudely and kept on complaining.

Mamma Mia ! Pizzas are so delicious ! Feel free to eat at Paulo’s kitchen, it is very good and not so expensive. Moreover, Paulo is so kind and welcomed you with good attention. If you want a real Sicilian pizza, run to Mamma Mia quickly ! Note: very very very delicious Tiramisu !! 😋

Lovely place-typical Italian decor,nice pizza...but the owners far from Italian hospiitality.And my bill was higher ,do they add the tip?

De très bonnes pizzas simples. Le propriétaire est également sympathique. Les enfants adorent le voir faire les pizzas et j'ai adoré les manger !! Le fondant au chocolat comme un gâteau était aussi très bon! Endroit parfait pour une bon

مطعم إيطالي اصلي .... تجربه اكل كانك في عائلة ايطاليه

My local italian! What's not to like? Calzone for me everytime!😁

Delicious pizzas. Super busy but relatively quick service.

The food is very good, the atmosphere of the place is very good too. The chef even gave us free pasta to take home, very nice man😊

One of the last affordable pizza places in London. Good value for money.

My favourite local Italian! Everytime that we went to the restaurant, staff/owner were always friendly and welcoming. I've tried pizza, pasta and some other starters and the food was always delicious! Good variety of vegetarian options. I like to stay in as it's a cozy home-like space. Recommend!

Very cozy place with wonderful food

I went to Paolo'pizzeria and we was fantastic. The 48 hours raided pizza was amazing, the arancina as well. If you are around go visiting this traditional Italian pizzeria. You won't regret.

Love the place :) Paolo is amazing and the pizza is very good

Lovely cosy Italian place close to arsenal stadium and Holloway road . If you like pizza you have to try this place. I'm Italian and is not always easy to find a place in London to eat a nice pizza,but I can only recommend this place. As well the tiramisu was very good and very good portion. Really Recommend!

Can’t recommend this place enough! Pizza is the best I’ve had. Prices are so reasonable and the owners are lovely. Would recommend for take out or eat it

I love this little authentic Italian pizzeria , my 2nd visit and this time I took my kids and my eldest described the pizza as the best he had ever tasted , hard to disagree,fresh a tasty food , great environment and friendly staff

GREAT PIZZA and awesome host . We popped in with a 4 pizza order to go and had drink while we waited.They whipped up the order right in front of us with all fresh ingredients.Authentic pizza and environment. Definitely recommend!! Also great value with 4 pizzas,glass of wine and a beer was just over £30.

Went there for a quick lunch while in the area. Charming little place with a friendly owner, and the pizza was just as I liked it.

Delicious pizza!!! Had a lovely meal with parents and friends here.

Loved the spaghetti with squid ink and the tiramisu. Great coffee, too.

I love this place! A cozy little restaurant in a secret corner of Holloway Road just few steps away from the tube station. Their pizza is amazing, just how I like it. Tasty dough with flavourful toppings. Mortadella is the best!

One of the best pizzas in Holloway. Honest prices and Italian recipes. Perfect for takeaway.

The pizza at Mamma Mia is by far the best around Islington. You can taste the freshness, and I particularly like the taste of Gorgonzola with walnuts and spinach. Can’t get it anywhere else in London. Had the Tiramisu twice and it’s always been freshly made on the day. Little gem of a restaurant.

Me my wife and daughter has lunch prior to a game at the Emirates - really good pizza - almost milan like - bit slightly pricey. Not sure how two pizzas one chips and one drink could cost £35. also when there’s a child and two adults please give more than 2 tissues 🤦🏽‍♂️… Food wise it was really good - also sold bbq burgers on match day

Was excited for the pizza since the reviews were pretty good. The pizza was okay. The dessert was excellent. We got a slightly different order than we placed and didn’t get the 15% takeaway discount advertised online. Au contraire got charged slightly more when we tried to go pick up than the prices listed on their website... also there were no napkins or cutlery which is really annoying if you’re trying to takeaway to eat in a park.

Update June 2021.. Still as friendly and as good as before! Glad that they survived lockdown!!! Really nice simple pizzas. The owner is also friendly. Kids love to see him make the pizzas and, I loved eating them!! There chocolat fondant like cake was also really good! Perfect spot for a good & quiet evening!

Food is surprisingly delicious 😋

Magnificent southern Italian restaurant. Been many times and every course has been excellent with fresh ingredients. The type of local restaurant that should be, and I hope is, a destination.

Wonderful service and amazing tasting food. Highly recommended and you even have a view of the Emirates Stadium what more can you ask for ?

A great, cosy atmosphere, with fantastic food and drinks! Paulo who served us was charming and a real gent; we couldn’t have asked for more.

Amazing pizza, Great environment! Charming, Italian man that runs the pizzeria by himself :)

Great food and freshly made infront of you

The food is A M A Z I N G and the people are so very friendly! I went there a night in February ( it was cold and pouring outside) and the whole atmosphere was really great ,cozy and made you feel like home. Totally recommend ! 10/10 !

Good quality, and very reasonably priced

As an Italian I'm always skeptical of pizzas outside of Italy, especially those made without a stone oven. However i was positively surprised by the crust, the tomato, the cheese and the bite. Everything worked well together and the price is extremely fair.

Great value. Tasty. Properly Italian. Glad it's my local.

Pizza swimming in oil. Chicken wings undercooked, chewy and swimming in oil. Feeling sick after eating the pizza.

Excellent Sicilian food, I keep coming back

Great service, they ran out of an ingredient for the pizza and wrote a note explaining and sent us free cannoli to make up for it! Tasty pizza, fabulous and good portion of mozzarella and Parma ham.

We were walking on Hornsey Road and found this place. Reasonably priced. Pizza and calzone tastes amazing.

This guy makes the best pizza. Such and understated place, a real hidden gem. Not to mention great value as well.

Ordered a massive order, paid by card, they claimed it was wrong (card didn’t match address - my mother in law aged 70....) they then put the order 5 times before the bank stopped it (and they paid it 4x - the fifth was the stumbling block) Still waiting for the food....

ホロウェイロード駅からスタジアムに向かって歩いていくと、オヤジがハンバーガーこしらえています。お腹がグーナー。

Decent pizza pre-match, cosy though!

Today we went to Mamma Mia Pizzeria and it was very good. The pizza was authentic Italian pizza and was handmade right in front of you. The service was also very quick. This is the perfect place to stop before a match at the Emirates.

Cute not the best very noisy day today maybe because of the game Pizza is cute was a bit to salty

A lovely local Italian restaurant, manned by a friendly owner and chef. The pizzas are delightful. Highly recommend!

J'arrive fatiguée de ma matinée de Camden Hight Street et de la visite du shop officiel d'Arsenal. Je souhaite me remettre un peu de cette matinée mouvementée du 13 novembre 2019 à Londres. Je souhaite rejoindre la maison que j'ai louée juste après déjeuner. Je recherche donc un restaurant sympa dans le coin et je tombe sur la mamma mia Pizzeria. L'accueil est froid. Je pardonne tout à fait que le propriétaire des lieux aie été au téléphone. Mais pas un sourire. Je m'installe. Il n'y a personne. Je commende une pizza 4 saisons. Il M'en apporte une un peu plus chère sur la carte. Avant cela, je demande à aller aux toilettes. Le gérant me les indique dans une cuisine sans dessus-dessous. Il m'apporte la pizza. Elle est super chaude et aqueuse. Je sais que ce n'est pas celle que j'ai choisie. Je la prend quand même avec une petite san Pelegrino à l'orange. Pour finir, je demande un café avant de prendre l'addition. La tasse de café était très sale: je voulais juste la laisser telle qu'elle était. En suite ce fût l'addition (environ 15£). Je me suis sentie comme Luis de Funès dans le film "l'aile ou la cuisse" qui teste des restaurants plus que douteux...

Freshly made pizza with amazing taste:) Love to eat😋
