Mama De Marinis Pizza-Bay View   

Lucille DeMarini's original recipes are what make this family-owned restaurant famous. Appetizers include garlic bread, mozzarella squares, fried portobello mushrooms, eggplant, ravioli, and cream cheese or cheddar jalapeno poppers. Pizzas are available in junior 10-inch, small 13-inch, or large 16x22-inch. The Italian Garden pesto pizza is heaped with broccoli, artichoke hearts, red peppers, tomatoes, and both mozzarella and Romano cheeses. Mama's bountiful selection of pizza toppings also includes portobello mushrooms, clams, crabmeat, shrimp and pineapple. Mostaccioli, spaghetti, fettuccini, ravioli and pasta primavera are featured pasta specialties. Chicken, burgers and Italian sausage sandwiches are also available. Sides include salad, french fries, tater tots and garlic buttered mushrooms. The children's menu features kid-size pastas, cheese ravioli, grilled cheese and a junior calzone with garlic bread. Desserts such as cheesecake, tiramisu, cannoli, and caramel, chocolate, raspberry or vanilla flavored cappuccino are a satisfying finishing touch. -- Allison Jornlin
