“I believe that quality fresh products, prepared in a simple and yet unique way then served with pride and friendly service will result in customer satisfaction.

Our sauces, from our unique brown sauce made the old fashioned way with no artificial base or coloring, to our well known tomato sauces are made fresh. My voyage in the culinary field covers over 30 years of experience. Since my teenage years, (with my family in Italy) I was involved inthe restaurant industry.

We hope the large variety of these traditional recipes will please everyone’s palate. Every dish at Mama Mia’s is prepared to order from our professional chefs. Cooking is an art. We have the ingredients, the most necessary is time.

We are happy to be the first in (Upper Township) to introduce the new method of baking... brick oven pizza. With wood fired pizza ovens you will notice the delicious difference, a recipe of the special blend of flour for a thinner crispier crust. We have many delicious combinations for a 12” personal size. Find you favorite or try them all.

Our philosophy is very simple, genuine food, fair prices, and friendly service will make your dining out a pleasurable experience to remember. Your comments and opinions are very important to me.

I wish you buon appetito - MANGIA!

Joeseph Massaglia
Chef/Owner

Mama Mia's opened as a pizzeria and small trattoria in 1988, but within one year expanded to a full service gourmet restaurant. Massaglia credits his immediate and continuing success to an "experimental attitude" towards food that parlays in both and restaurant and catering businesses.

 "We are always experimenting and creating in the kitchen. We cook from our hearts," says Chef Massaglia.

Today, Chef Massaglia spends much of his time handling the daily operations of his restaurant -- from selecting and ordering food, to testing new culinary creations and sampling new menus, to personally greeting his many customers.

Chef Massaglia believes in the value of sharing his extensive culinary education  keeping a busy schedule of food demonstrations such as one recent demonstration held at The Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia where he demonstrated cooking techniques on his Olare Cooking Stone. Chef Massaglia also hosts regular events at his Mama Mia’s Ristorante including his popular regional dinners and tastings.
