I love the quotes on the walls and the photos of owner Raya’s mother in law. One of the things I like about good pizza joints is they tend to have good chicken wings as well.

Salt & pepper chicken wings were hot out of the oven with crispy skin with tender and moist meat underneath. Loved the flavor balance between the salt and pepper.

Brownie with vanilla ice cream was hot out of the oven. Brownie was rich and decadent with a fresh baked aroma. Vanilla ice cream was sweet with a tasty vanilla flavor. Very tasty combination.

There are tons of industrial type pizza joints in town but I like Mom’s like home atmosphere with the friendly staff and owner making sure your meal is just the way it should be.

Upon walking in, the delicious aroma of pizza dough and spices surrounded me, just heavenly!

They have a front counter where you walk up to order. If dining in they will deliver to your table. For pick up they will call your name. Inside dining is nicely decorated with a wall dedicated to I believe the owners family members.

My order was a small supreme pizza that includes; pepperoni, sausage, salami, meatballs, mushrooms, onions, green peppers and olives. And a blue moon beer. Just let me say the crust is fabulous! The right amount of crunch, not too much, with a bit of chewiness, softness and the delicate taste of butter. It is thin but the taste negates that problem. The toppings are fresh and flavorful with a tasty red sauce. Overall I really love this pizza and will come back for more.

I was wanting the Sicilian pizza but alas it’s only offered for the large size and that’s just too much food for me. Hopefully they will offer it by the slice or a small size in the future.

For me when it comes to pizza I’m a big fan of how the crust is made including the thickness, taste and texture. Mom’s makes their own pizza dough, fermented for 72 hours.

Their menu includes the following: salads, subs, desserts, wine (glass or bottle), beer, build your own pizza, signature pizzas (meat lover, prosciutto & figs, chicken parmesan), build your own pasta, signature entrees (lasagna, cioppino, ravioli, eggplant parmesan), risotto, polenta, Stromboli and calzones.

Did you know? Every Monday Mom’s will donate 100% of profits to Afghan based charity organizations. A beautiful commitment to their homeland.
