Mama Lino’s Pizzeria

excellent plain slices and very affordable lunch specials and pies! great cheese and sauce yummm. friendly service and good place to sit and eat. check out my pics! im a regular my fav pizza spot in the area!

New York pizza, Long Island pizza, two different tasting pizzas, this should not be.
As a frequent Long Island passer through, time and time again the comparison is unavoidable, so the pizza scales slides away from the extreme ends.
Long Island pizza has been snubbed poor and dubbed in second class citizenship standing, and there it shall remain. Part and parcel due to a level of pizza mediocrity and acceptance there of. But why the disparity, heck, Queens is part of Long Island, ain’t it?
I hold no false hope the bar will ever rise, so here I must review pizza, but not with the same lenses as the pizza all of the five boros has on every fourth block or fifth commercial block and just a few short LIRR stops to the west for me.
The spicy Pepperoni caused a raised brow of interest, the meatball slices caused a furrowed brow of disappointment. Match all square at one. The most painstaking short coming of my lunch was the 14 grease infused napkins it took to mop up my slices, Long Island pizza down one.
Additional grading penalties could be incurred due to poorly orchestrated pseudo, Italian gumba talk. Long Island pizza, down two.
Cheese is cheese, dough is dough, sauce is not just sauce. Mama Lino’s tomato sauce must receive a note worthy credit of being high quality, well prepared old style Italian sauce. Plus two for Long Island pizza, match finishes all square at three stars, two in NYC style.

Eggplant parmigiana is unreal! The prices are great. The best take out for miles! Tell Anthony that Howie Sent you!

Quietly tucked in alongside johns farm. Switched owners a number of times, but finally got it right. Pizza’s are great. Sauce has dynamite flavor with a good quality mozzarella.
They need to investigate the local buffalo slice and knock it out of the park and things will get real good for them.

I like their pizza but they need to fix their phone. I called to order a mama lino the work pizza but they gave me a reg cheese pizza.
At least answer it in a quieter place or repeat the order back to me so i can see if you have the right order.

The lunch specials at this place are phenominal. Chicken or Eggplant Parmigiana Pasta, 1 Salad, 3 Knots & Soda is the way to go! Their garlic knots are not dripping in oil like a lot of pizza places, they are just right. I like to switch on and off between the chicken and eggplant parm but my personal favorite is the chicken. Sometimes I get it with extra cheese and its amazing. This meal that I usually get is under $ 10 and when I am on the road for work, I am looking for a quick and affordable lunch that tastes good enough to get me through the rest of the day. 5 stars for Mama Lino’s. I can’t wait to try the grilled balsamic chicken that the person ahead of me yesterday got for lunch.

Not clean, person behind counter acted like he was doing me a favor. It’s hard to believe they are still in business. I think there are 5 other pizza places within a mile that do a great job.

If you have no high expectations, this is a good place to get in, have a quick bite and get out. Or even better, get a pie to go.
Basic, simple and appropriately, cheap.
The pizza is not bad and the service is good. Nothing can beat this place for a pie to go.

Yeah umm I kinda like this place. It’s ah like this little pizzeria in a strip mall along Old Country Road. It ain’t the Ritz ya know? Nuthin’ fancy shmancy. Very blue collar. I saw the butcher from the supermarket next store in hea. This place is what it is. Basic pizza thats forgettable at best. Its not bad nor is It spectacular. If your in the mood for pizza, they got a few different kinds. Dining area is as basic as it comes. Stop in grab a soda and a slice, eat go. Done. You got it?

Rude Rude Dirty Dirty dont ever complain they cant handle it. located in the johns farm plaza that makes sense you have to make way thru the riff raff to get to the door.
NOT WORTH YOUR TIME

I’ve only been there once.
2 slices and a soda for under $ 5. I’m pretty sure this place has the cheapest lunch special in the area. 4 stars.
The slices are a-​ok. kinda greasy, but decent. minus 1 star
The place is pretty run down and quite dated. Looks like it hasn’t gotten a good cleaning in a while either. minus 2 stars.
The guys behind the counter are nice, and they aim to provide a great service. My friend ordered a few garlic knots, and it came with so much garlic on top I literally LOL’ed when I saw it. Had to stay away from him for the rest of the afternoon. Plus 1 star
