Mama Linos

Mama Lino's is the only reason I made it through the pandemic. Everything I have ordered from them far exceeded my expectations in quality, freshness, and value on every beat. The only issues I ever had were with the food delivery app, and never the restaurant. Trust me they deliver better than any of the apps, just call them. Their salads are fresh and well made with satisfying portions and good variety. Their pizzas are amazing, this goes without saying, and again that same perfectly chewy/crunchy dough used in their garlic knots and zeppolis. I really can't get over the texture of this dough, no joke I can just order a soup and a double garlic knot and that's a good dinner for a man with far too much appetite. Their menu is no joke huge! They literally need separate sections for Pastas and Baked Pastas otherwise it would be too much to scroll through. I have never had a late order, and out of maybe 25 there was only 1 mixup between garlic knots and stuffed garlic knots and they had already sent out a guy with the correction (despite it only being a little tray of 4 garlic knots) before we even realized they were missing. I love this place, their food is amazing and their people are even moreso. Mama Lino's, if you live near them there is literally no reason to order a slice from anywhere else. There may be better slices out there, this is NY ffs, but none of them have hit my tastebuds yet.

Their dough is amazing, and everything they make with it is the perfect mix of chewy and crispy. The slices, the garlic knots, the calzones, all tasty and made with fresh ingredients and heightened by the dough. Even the Zeppolis. Generous and delicious servings. You _really_ need to try the stuffed garlic knots.
