Arguably among the best pizzerias in the Detroit area, Mama Rosa's on Mack in Grosse Pointe Park offers both square and traditional pies, in addition to a menu of classic Italian dishes. If you haven't tried pizza at Mama Rosa's, you don't want to miss out on a chance to sample another one of SE Michigan's amazing pizzerias.
The crust is as good as it gets and the ingredients are uncommonly fresh and tasty. The sauce is nice and smooth with just a hint of sweet. The mushrooms for example were obviously fresh and incredibly flavorful.
Unlike chains that never seem to purge the old stock unless it grows legs and walks away, this place brings new meaning to fresh and appetizing.
Mama Rosa's has a no frill, simple charm. Very clean, very attentive service and the prices are fabulous with a discount early in the week. Offering both tables and booths, Mama Rosa's is smaller than most and quieter while catering to a wide range of customers and a very busy carry out trade.
Even though it may seem that there are pizzerias on nearly every corner in the Detroit area, and it's hard to know them all however, stop by this one and treat yourself to the very best pizza the area has to offer.
Pros: Excellent pizza, service and prices.
Cons: None except it's not open for lunch but worth the wait
