Mamma Celeste’s Stone Baked Pizzeria

Spectacular food! My first time going there last Thursday my girlfriend and I dropped in while we were doing laundry at sunshine laundry. The owner and both workers were incredibly helpful with explaining the menus. The preparation of the food was also very transparent which was very good made it seem like they really cared about the food and us enjoying our experience there. I will absolutely be returning to eat there incredible pizza as well as trying the massive calzones. Keep on keeping on Mamma Celeste’s happy four years guys. Congrats!

some of the best pizza in town! great phone etiquette as well as great service!

Seriously the best pizza we have had in CHICO!!! the owner was really helpful with selecting options to order, the cordon blue is a must order it reminded us a lot of a pizza dish from Juneau Alaska our home town.

SOOOO GOOD! The crust us perfect. Perfect thickness, perfect crispy, perfectly garlicy. The types of pizzas are unique and DELICIOUS. I’ve had Vampire’s Kiss, The Club, and Meat Lovers. I’m thinking of trying a sandwhich next time, but the pizza crust is soooo good I don’t know if I could give it up for a sandwhich!

We had a great first experience with Mama Celeste’s! The Vampire Kiss pizza was SUPER! The garlic offered a complimentary flavor alongside the bacon, sauce and other flavors. We loved the crispy crust too. The price was also very reasonable.
Also, even though it was just pick up, the service was fantastic. The owner talked with me about ingredients, flavors and was very courteous! We will definitely order again. Thanks for a great pizza dinner.

I love that we always hit it at times where seating at the bar is open!!! They always have the football games on and the owner is super nice and always comes out to talk to our group and has helpful recommendations. They have a great selection of craft beer and wine! Most importantly their pizza and calzones are FANTASTIC! We always receive the best service on top of that. Thank you!!!

Best pizza I’ve ever had. The red sauce is amazing along with the garlic ranch. So far I’ve had a pepperoni pizza and a calzone. Both items were amazing. Very flavorful, you can tell that the ingredients is high quality and the staff actually care about the food their putting out. My encounters with the staff have been pleasant and friendly. I haven’t even tried any of the signature/​specialty pizzas but based on the basic pepperoni pizza I had I’m sure there going to be awesome. My kids love this place too. I’ve only done delivery and pickup but am looking forward to actually dining here with my family. Really happy we discovered Mamma Celeste’s.

Mamma Celeste’s is Chicago style thin crust! I am visiting Chico for an internship and stumbled upon this gem. Being from Chicago and not having good pizza for quite a while, I was so excited to find a taste of home. I went with a simple cheese and sausage and was not disappointed.

Good pizzas and sandwiches. Crispy cracker crust is different than everywhere else in town and not just the same old generic pizza most people are used to. Nice choices for toppings. Meatball sandwhich is for real.

Great pizza. Ordered the compost heap and enjoyed it. Decent price for the quality of pizza. Fast and friendly service!!!

Absolutely one of the best pizza places in chico. The cracker thin crust is impeccable and the service is always great! This is a must have here in Chico!

Not what I was expecting based on the reviews. Service was fine, the restaurant was very clean but just not my style of pizza.

This is by far the best pizza place in Chico.
It’s fairly priced and fantastic quality. Plus, the service is exceptional. The owner is frequently working and he makes the experience so awesome. All our needs were quickly met.
The ingredients are local and dressings are homemade.
My wife and I are vegan so it can be difficult to find places to eat. Not only were the vegan pizza options awesome, our questions were promptly and politely answered.
Support local business!

Love this place! Been trying to get on track with my diet but I swear this break is so good I can’t give it up! The owners a super smart guy and definitely knows his stuff. I’ll say that this place IS the best pizza place in town! When I need to get pizza for the family or friends this is the place to go. So what are you waiting for? Go! Go! Go!

Honestly you’re my favorite pizza place but the way you respond to critics is alarming to me. I have been coming to you since you opened and have been applauding you as the best pizza in Chico, but your attitude online makes me want to find a new fave.

Probably the best pizza place in Chico.
It’s a lot of things, but I have to state for the record, this is NOT a Saint Louis style pizza. It’s still a good thin crust, but its stone baked and crunchy, versus that distinct thin crust style us Mid-​Southern/​Midwesterners love. And the sausage is weird. It should be crumble style. And they need to add toasted meat ravioli to the menu.
But that’s my only complaint.
We’ll be back. All hail Mamma Celeste’s.

I’ve been to every pizza establishment in Chico and I must say this is my favorite. The ingredients definitely taste fresh and made in house. Unlike the overly processed tasting junk that you get at chain restaurants. I recently had the Chicken Cordon Bleu calzone and it was amazing. I ordered the large thinking I would save the rest for lunch the next day. Well, I ended up eating the whole thing in one sitting. I could not move for a couple hours, but it was worth it. I did do a few laps around the block later on to make up for it.
I also like how the owner actually cares about his business and is concerned about what people think of his establishment. I do have to admit that I enjoy reading his responses to the «trolls.» I will definitely be back for another calzone. Oh, and the pizza is delicious as well. I recommend the Uncle D’s Special and the Little Angelo.

LOVE IT!
Problem with this review is that my friend and I went at 9pm about a week before classes start when most students are out of town (they can claim they live in Chico all they want but if they go home to mommy and daddy for several months a year they don’t live here, merely visit) so it was 100% dead.
We got Uncy’s Buffalo Chicken. I’d never been a fan of buffalo sauce (?) but this was realllly good. This would make a great date spot if I could ever find anyone who didn’t flake on me or would rather be hungover than have a conversation that goes beyond drunkard. The topping list is rather long and includes buffalo mozzarella which is something I’ve not seen anywhere else before. I absolutely love the stuff and look forward to trying more of the menu.
I just wish the TVs weren’t restricted to sports. Some of us do enjoy cartoons.

Screw every pizza ever made, I’m cutting your pizza like a tray of f-​ing brownies! Yup, just like a tray of brownies you, A-​hole! But we will get back to that.
Now, I’m not saying I’m a pizza expert, but I have had some amazing pizza in my life. Being from SF I like to imagine I have stuffed some of the best into my mouth two times a week for the last 28 years of my adult life (you should see me naked! No, no one wants to see that…). That said I give this pizza 3.5 stars, and the reason why is this:
The crust is nice and thin, just like I love (think cracker without the crunch in the middle. Lots of crunch on the crust), but sadly it is a touch too salty.
The red sauce is the best I have found in Chico so far, but is missing something… Is it missing fresh basil, or a pinch of sugar to cut the acid? I can’t put my finger on it. Good, and zesty though, and still 10x better than Celestino’s crapy crushed flavorless hot-​house tomatoes they pass off as marinara; I still can’t get that taste out of my mouth.
The delivery is fast, and the customer service is friendly enough, so I bumped it up to an even 4.
Now to the slice, and literal dice… Who cuts a pizza like that? Some of you are like me in that you are a ‘folder’, and some of you are a ‘stacker’, but here you’re going to be a pizza lover eating a tiny wedge of crust, or have your fingers covered in sauce. I have yet to remember that this is the place that cuts their pizza like someone that has never cut a pizza before, but I imagine you could ask them to cut it like a normal pie. One would think the, «cut it like an A-​hole» would be a special request, however it seems to be the regular.
I haven’t had an opportunity to try anything else on the menu, and I most likely won’t because I’m a pizza man at heart. I’m sure it will be just as pleasing though.

Just because your cheese is 100% doesn’t make it good cheese, we have 50 different tequila’s that are all 100% but guess what, they suck,
So just because it’s 100%, it’s low grade cheese, nice work.
And yes I do know about food prices going up, and you may have your dollar back, because apparently you need it more than I do, it’s not about how much it was, I have no problem paying any amount for a good pizza so long as it’s GOOD pizza,
Second of all, I mentioned what I did (good and bad) because I give honest reviews, I’m not here trying to talk smack just because ‚
It’s also funny how your store has the same «story» as that frozen pizza company, are you related? I could see if so, given I guess it started off good and then got sold off to two different company’s due to poor sales,
But keep telling your self it’s great,
Also, did you replace the bricks in your Bakers Pride oven? Or is that a made up story also,
Because the model you have doesn’t support stone, just ceramic, good lie there,
Because NO bakers pride oven supports it
They ONLY come on ceramic !
I did my research before ordering one myself for our place !
Further more, just because someone posts a review about your store, doesn’t mean you get on here like a douche bag, you try and fix the problem and make it right for the customer ‚
So, basically, congrats on being not only one of the worst pizza joints in town, but also the worst owner, I’ll be sure to spread the word around at all our business’s
Take Care :)
Ohhhhh also and Cash n Carry doesn’t sell that great of products, so once again like I said in my original post, try finding another distributor to get your stuff from because it is garbage, but keep the dough ;)
Cheers!
