Mama Alfa's Pizzeria Inc

We had been hearing about Mama Alfa's since our daughter moved to Thunder Bay and were anxious to try it. We are serious 'foodies' and really love to eat! We went to Mama's almost directly from the airport and were not disappointed. Mama and her staff are all like a family and greeted us warmly. We started with her famous Ceasar salad which was exceptional. We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of red wine off the wine list which is chosen to go beautifully with the food. We had chicken soup with little noodles called 'melon seeds' which was as good as anything my mother ever made and my mother made great soup! We also had the mini calzone which can only be described as heaven in your mouth....crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth on the inside. During the meal Mama kept coming by to make sure we were enjoying the meal. She also sent over a small sample of gnocchi and ravioli for us to try. Her sauces are absolutely delicious. Our main course was the pizza a la Romano which is a seven layer pizza for the true Italian food lover. I have never seen anything like it and it was really delicious. We were stuffed but Mama suggested her home made Tiramisu and we could not resist. It was the best we have ever eaten. The coffee taste was as if it had just been made and the chunks of chocolate on the top were so delicious! When in Thunder Bay you cannot miss Mama Alfa's!!!

I honeslty cannot believe this is in Thunder Bay and not Italy itself! This place is too amazing! I have been going here for years and honestly Mama Alfa is such a sweetie. She is like a long lost grandmother of mine. She comes out from the Kitchen every time I come here and says hi, she always says hi to who ever I am with. This is the perfect place to bring a date or any friend. You may be fooled becuase it is in westfort, but the atmosphere inside is amazing. She plays mellow jazz music, and decorates the place with a warm type of feeling that feels so cozy. She always remembers what I am doing, and asks me how school is and how my friends and family are. We order delivery alot form here too and its one of the few pizza places in town that I like. You won't find greased up street pizza here. This pizza is the real deal. It tastes like no other pizza I have ever had and it is very addictive. But the pasta she has is even more amazing. You actually have to let her know a day ahead of time if you want it becuase she literaly makes it fresh that day for you. You will never find fresher pasta then this in Thunder Bay. Ralph, Mama, Leno and Tanya have always made me feel welcome for the 10 years have been going there, and I will always recommend them first over any other pizza place in town. This resturant is one of the top ten reasons to live in Thunder Bay.

I can honestly say that the greatest meals that I have had in Thunder Bay have been at Mama Alfa's. Just as importantly, they have each been served by Alfa and her husband Ralph, who treat each diner like a guest in their home. This is Italian home cooking at its best!

We were recommended this lovely restaurant by the staff at the Valhalla Inn. We were not disappointed in the least . The dinner was chosen by Mama herself. The Caeser salad was absolutely fantastic and is by far the best I ever had!! The pasta we were told is not always available and is best done by reservation. We ened up having stuffed shells,caesar salad,min calzones ( a house favourite) and a bottle of Chianti. Our hosts Ralph and Alfa treated us as family. They make you feels so welcome. Other staff were great as well including lovely Kayla who is so shy you can barely get here out of the kitchen. The "son " is also a great host

Two thumbs way up for a fabulous evening of fine food & entertainment. My friends had made reservations for us to attend a dinner show when I visited on Feb. 7th. I wasn't expecting such quality in a city of this size. The food kept coming until we couldn't eat anymore. I've never tasted anything like the mini calzones that we had & I want to know what was in the Caesar salad. There must be some secret because I always have it when I eat out & now I'm spoiled. The show was so much fun we laughed all the way home. I would go & see it again. I can't describe the atmosphere - it felt like you were at a friends house getting waited on hand & foot while having a live performance just for you. I almost lost my husband to the sexy magician's assistant & I have to say that we couldn't figure out how he did the tricks. We're still talking about it!
