Mama Teresa's Flying Pizza

Authentic Italian Cuisine meets excellent customer service at this highly-rated pizza parlor! With raving reviews on all fronts, it's no wonder Mama Teresa's Flying Pizza is a beloved local favorite. As soon as you walk in, you're treated like family. You'll find the owner in the kitchen, hand-tossing pizzas with the rest of the Mama Teresa's crew.

You'll notice on the menu cover a photo of a young girl. That's actually a photo of the owner's mother as a young girl. Furthermore, she inspired the restaurant's name. As you can see, this restaurant is an extension of this family's passion for Italian culture, cuisine, and family.

The interior is on the smaller side, with just over a dozen 2-4-seat tables. Additionally, there are a couple of tables outside. Pizza is a takeout staple, so most of the traffic to the restaurant does not linger long.

The menu is expansive, and there will be a few options for even the pickiest eaters!
