Mama Di Roma - Fairmont

There food is always delicious Service: Take out Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I hate giving local mom and pop places bad reviews. So my two star rating might be beefed up a bit because of the sympathy I have for the people who own this spot. It 's hard to run a restaurant. Its hard to find good help or a great location. But at the end of the day, as long as the food is good, all the other things don 't matter. But with this spot, that 's where this place fails BIG TIME. It 's been open for a couple years now, and I have often thought of giving them a try but every time I consider ordering a pizza from there, the photos of their pizza just look terrible. From the photos it looks like their pizza suffers from what I call : The TOO deadly sins of bad pizza (Too Thick, Too Floppy, Too Soggy, Too many toppings, Too much cheese, Too heavy, Too Soft, Too undercooked)The service was fast, and right on time. Ready in exactly the amount of time they had stated. The people who took my money were very nice and polite. I did not eat in the restaurant. I did take out. The place looked clean and inviting. However, I was the only person in there who was not an employee.The pizza Suffered EVERY SINGLE TOO DEADLY SIN unfortunately. and it was one of the worst tasting floppiest pizzas, I have ever seen. Its crust was something that tasted like Bisquick. The toppings were cheap tasting and there were far too many of them. It was one of the worst pizzas I 've ever eaten in a long time, even for Fairmont which does not have a reputation for good pizza.The price of the pizza is one of the highest prices I 've ever paid for a large pie. I don 't mind paying close to $30 for one pizza, if its great, like Difara 's in NYC or Sally 's in New Haven or Lucali in Brooklyn, but those places deliver high quality.This has a high-quality price with terrible quality pizza. I will not be back. I can still taste that aftertaste from the Crust ... it 's not a good thing. GO to Cantoni 's for take-out pizza in Fairmont instead. That 's where I usually go, but I wanted to try something different. My mistake.

The service was extremely slow. I had to request a menu, and we waited a long time before being attended to. My husband's spaghetti was watery, and we felt we were overcharged. Our meals were around $13 each, and my husband ordered a beer for $4.00. Our total bill came to $46.00 before tip, which just doesn’t add up.

The food is excellent, the service is decent, and the atmosphere is very authentic, although it feels a bit stuffy and quiet. There’s some Italian music playing, and the lighting is fun. It has a bit of a cafeteria vibe, but it definitely offers the best Italian food in West Virginia!

Vegetarian options include eggplant dinner plates, eggplant subs, and both veggie and margherita pizzas. Parking can be found at the meters out front or in the adjacent post office parking lot.
