“ Wow! What a hidden gem. A gargantuan calzone advertised as a smal but l big enough to feed a family of 4 and yummy as well. Also one of the best pizzas we've ever eaten. Got the basic large cheese with eggplant topping. Amazing flavor and a sweet delicate and fluffy crust-a high five to the chef. Come in and say hello to Brittnay and the rest of the crew. A good deal and a great meal. tutti a tavola a mangiare (all to the table to eat) ”
“ Out of all the pizza places that we have tried... Mama Leone's is definitely solid. Almost comparable to NJ pizza. The cowboy burger was also fire too. Definitely will be coming here again. Buffalo chicken pizza is top notch as well. ”
“ I’m not lying or exaggerating when I say this is the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life! I love the taste and texture of the dough. The crust is not too puffy or dough-y. The pizza was cooked to perfection. Also, it’s not a very saucey pizza, which is what I like. Their boneless chicken is amazing as well! Their chicken Alfredo is ok! I wish it was more saucey tho! The chicken to pasta ratio is perfect. ”
“ The food here is amazing. The staff, super friendly. But seriously every grinder, the kitchen staff feels the need to tuck the paper plate and tin foil inside the sandwich. Obviously they have never eaten their own wrapped grinder, and experienced the disappointment when all of the cheese is stuck to the paper plate. Happens EVERY time. PLEASE stop needlessly robbing me of the cheese, by tucking the paper plate inside my sandwich!!! ”
“ One very nice lady ran the entire dining room, taking orders and delivering food in the friendliest way! Great service! The pizza was fantastic. Shared a small Portuguese with my wife and it was delicious. Crisp, thick crust with generous toppings. We also had “suicidal sauce buffalo wings” which were also delicious. Crispy without being dried out or burned. All for a very reasonable price. Definitely will be back! ”
“ We have been visiting Mama Leone's every year for the last 4 years when we visit Newport every summer. We absolutely love their food and craving for it all the time. You can literally feel the love in this food. Last year, we had the honor to meet with the lovely owner Joanna and understood the reason behind it. Because she is an amazing person, very kind, very warm, very welcoming. Now we consider her as family because this is how she makes us fell. Go support this honest, hardworking establishment and have a chance to taste their delicious food! ”
“ We’ve been coming here since they opened and it is still my favorite pizza in all of New England! The customer service is incredible the food is so flavorful the prices are great. Highly recommend if your in Newport must have! ”
