Classic Italian feel. Try the garlic bread!

Came on the 30th of November for a 18th birthday. The waitress was incredibly rude had an awful attitude and was rolling her eyes when asked a simple question if they could check for something from the chef. After consulting the chef, the chef made a rude hand gesture which signifies “go f&ck your self” and then comes back and continues to be rude and have attitude towards the rest of the people at the table. Unbelievably rude and unprofessional there was a clear view from where we sat to see the chef. So disappointed after every other time we come here we have an amazing experience and the food is always top quality. Would definitely recommend the restaurant and food but this experience has totally altered my opinion of the staff. ( aside from the manger who is always on great form) very disappointed by the rude waitress and chef that could clearly see we where all looking at him after he did the gesture and also then talked about it at the table while the waitress was there and she continued to have a bad attitude towards us.

This place is actually not bad for takeaway pizza but it’s not at all friendly and the rest of the menu is pretty average. Gino’s is much better and friendlier and I think if you want to splash out a bit then La Cucina and Branca are a better bet. But if you are in Summertown and want takeaway pizza this is ok.

The pasta was very tasteless. Not even like Italian food. The shrimp and avocado salad is the worst I have ever eaten. The tastiest thing was a glass of Coca-Cola.

A great evening celebrating our daughters 17th birthday! Fantastic all round from the initial booking, to the service and atmosphere. The food was delicious. Our party had the carbonara which was great and gorgeous pizzas. The staff were great and having outlined on the booking it was a birthday celebration they bought out some ice cream with a candle and sang happy birthday! Nice touch thank you! Will be back!

I was staying in a nearby B&B so Mamma Mia looked a good option for a Monday night when other local restaurants were closed. I was seated at once without booking, but on weekends I suggest reserving to ensure getting a table at this popular restaurant. The staff were all cheerful and chatty, so full marks there. Food was also good, I went with a calamari starter and the 'house' Mamma Mia pizza and enjoyed both. I was checking my watch a few times waiting for the pizza; that was on a Monday so could be worse on Fri/Sat. Pricing is reasonable, they make money on drinks of course with Peroni around £5 a bottle but will provide tap water on request. The WiFi works fine for people who are checking their mobis. This is a family friendly place, in other words expect children to be quite vocal! It's not really the place for a quiet tête-à-tête! I'd certainly go back.

Had brunch here. Food is good Italian cuisine. Easy to find.

This was our first time here. We had a delightful evening, thank you. Great attention to detail and customer service. We enjoyed our white bait starter and the pizza was fabulous.

We went yesterday night looking for a restaurant near our hotel. The food and service were excellents. The waitress gave our toddler a sticker book with colors to enjoy at the restaurant and when we paid she gifted a chupachups to her too. We think that you must go to this restaurant. If we would live here sure we go here each weekend.
Excellent pizza restaurant!! The staff are very helpful and the food is delicious. We would definitely come here again.

Much preferred to the one in Jericho. They are so helpful and accommodating, happy to swap things around and seemed well informed on ingredients (I was doing an exclusion diet at the time). They also have chinotto - hard to find in the UK and amazing!!! Will be coming back for sure. Thank you for a great evening!!

This is a wonderful pizzeria to visit in the Oxford area. This one in Sunmertown is beautiful inside and the atmosphere was wonderful. The service was exceptional. And the food was delicious. The pizza style is thin crust. I got the pollo e fungi pasta and my wife got a pizza margarita. We loved both of our dishes. We also got the garlic bread. For dessert my wife got a scoop of gelato and I got the tartufo.

This was a totally bad experience for us, nothing like the Italian restaurants we're used to visiting. Although the staff were pleasant, there was no real Italian atmosphere and we were so rushed, they were taking our plates away as we were eating our last bite. My pizza from the specials board was soggy and not nice, my wife had Pasta Napoletana which was quite bland - I could cook it better myself and have done in the past. We just felt under pressure all the time, aware that our table was required for the next arrivals. The online booking advice was that we would be limited to 70 minutes for our meal, we had 2 courses and were in and out in 35 minutes. We might as well have gone somewhere else and had a takeaway.This was a real shame as we visited the restaurant last October and the experience was much more positive.

Down from Scotland for a few days in Oxford. Came across this place while wandering the streets as we were staying nearby. Atmosphere looked nice so decided to go the following night. The staff were super friendly. My partner is vegan, and even with vegan options on the menu they advised they could make a vegan pizza that wasn't on the menu if she liked. We both had pizza and both were great. Service was quick and staff were super friendly and we're asking about our trip. Atmosphere was great and had a real local/family feel to it. Will 100% be back if down again for a visit.Vegetarian options: Good vegan options. Offered a custom vegan pizza even though it wasn't on the menu
