The service was polite. However, the food was quite lacking.The cheese bread is quite literally a piece of bread sliced into halves with grated cheese melted onto it. Oddly enough, this was the best part of the meal. The marinara seemed home made and complimented the bread well.The pizza arrived shortly after the bread. We quickly tore off a slice and dug in! Unfortunately, the pizza was a huge fail. Biting into the pizza I smelled a strong yeasty odor. Like beer left out a day. Chewing the pizza I discovered that the dough was raw. I took several smaller bites trying to determine if the dough was just soggy or if I was actually served raw pizza.It was raw. The first clue should have been the timing of the pizza. The second, the blond color of the crust. Third, the fresh uncharred cheese topping. But I hadn't been here before and thought it was a style thing.After a while the waiter finally returned and we reported the issue. He offered to put the pizza back into the oven. We took our slices and put it onto the tray and let him cook it longer. Why? I don't know we hate to waste food! Ten minutes after it was delivered though, we weren't sure it would be enough.Finally, after a spell longer in the oven, the pizza was returned to us. It was cooked this time. The color was rich, the cheese charred and bubbly. The flavor very much more on point. However, because the pizza waited 10 minutes at least before being put back into the oven we suspect this cause the dough to take on the juices of the toppings. So, while cooked, it was a bit soggy. The yeasty smell baked into the dough and topping.We finished the initial slice of pizzas each and took the rest home. Once home we couldn't even muster the stomach to finish it.Definitely won't be returning. I should have insisted on a new pizza. :(

I have LOVED this place since I was a kid! Now that I live in FL, Mama Alvino's is an absolute must go-to restaurant while in CO. They have always had the tastiest, perfectly stuffed calzones with homemade sauce and I've been chowing down on some Mama Alvino's since I was a kid. I highly recommend the homestyle calzone. I add green peppers and ask for extra sauce on the side. The calzones are always fresh out of the oven and soft on the inside, but slightly crunchy on the outside - perfection imo.It's a smaller, cozy restaurant and the staff are always super friendly! The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are very generous.Looking forward to visiting again soon!!

I love the establishment, the service is outstanding always greeted with kindness and the food has large portions so good. They have plenty of parking with a well lit lot and it has the feel of home without the dishes...

One of the biggest secrets in Aurora. From the sandwiches, to the Calzones all the way down to the pizza, order some things to eat there & order again to take some home. #Winning!!

Rated well on the yumm meter we couldnt decide spaghetti or calzone so we got both. I had the big mama stuffed with meat and veggies, my wife got the home style also jam packedwith goodness. Very clean inside and roomy, staff was funny and attentivr. So why no 5 ? It gives them somthing to earn on our next visit.
