Mama Olivia's Pizzeria

The deep dish pizza is not a deep dish pizza. It is a thin crust pizza with the edges turned up and a little extra cheese. Asked for both pizza and bbq sauce and received almost no sauce. Which is a shame because it would have tasted great, despite not being deep dish, with the sauces. Seriously, this place had the potential to deliver an amazing pizza. The ingredients are quality. The dough is tasty. It's just made poorly and described incorrectly. If you call a pizza deep dish it needs to have a thick crust. High edges on a thin crust is not the same thing. That's called a pan pizza, not deep dish. If a customer asks for, and pays for, extra sauce it should have extra. If a customer asks for, and pays for, 2 different sauces it should have them. Not a hard concept.

The place looks ran down on the inside, but the jumbo slice of pizza I had tasted better then average. Not a quick place though. Even if you just order a slice, they are not premade and just cut. They have to make the slice from scratch and it has to go all the way through the pizza oven. Not a good place for a quick lunch, but if you have time you could check them out.

More love needs to go into their food, establishment, and service for the price. 1 XXL Specialty pizza, 1 small Shrimp Alfredo pasta, and a 2 ltr soda was $55. The pizza was satisfying, toppings seemed fresh. It's a thin hard crust style pizza. Biggest disappointment was the Shrimp Alfredo, they even have a picture sign out front to advertise it, like it's something they are proud of. I would be embarrassed to serve this at home, let alone any restaurant. Canned Alfredo sauce, and not even a premium brand. Sprinkling parsley on top doesn't make it any more appealing. Butter, cream, and Romano and Parmigiano cheeses have a long shelf life, so there isn't an excuse for what I was served. Also, if you are going through the trouble of cooking frozen shrimp, get raw, reheating precooked frozen shrimp doesn't keep the texture. The establishment was so run down. It's not one of those hasn't changed mom and pop places that make you feel good. More wondering how clean it is. Ac was broken, ice machine is broken. Just say some pictures posted with the lights turned on, this definately makes it look a bit cleaner, but we didnt have the hospitlity of having lights in the dining room turned on for us. The employees seemed run down too, wasn't welcoming to say the least. Like others have said, you feel like a nuisance. I think the owners need to consider closing the dining side all together, and make it take out only. It's just not a good welcoming feeling in the dining room or from the staff- and it doesnt have to be if it's take out. Remove menu items that are not up to par completely from the menu or do it right. Don't serve disappointing food. Put love into ALL the food you make. Needless to say, there is a ton of room for improvement.
