MAFIAoZA'S - Nashville

My boyfriend and I were craving pizza one night while staying in 12 South and we decided to check out MAFIAoZA'S. The restaurant had a decent crowd both inside and on the patio. We sat on the patio where we were able to enjoy the cool evening and some football that was playing outside.Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We ended up getting The Tony as an appetizer and built our own pizza. All of the food was AMAZING and came out relatively quickly! The waitress did let us know that the restaurant will be closing in mid-October, which we were surprised to hear considering the amount of people there and how good the food was. I would definitely recommend stopping in and grabbing a pizza while you can!

TLDR: Cute place, get the pasta, do NOT get the pizza. Fun time for kids! Would give 3.5 if I could.The parking is a bit difficult, as there are only 3 or so spots in front, so we normally just park on a side-street. The restaurant itself is cute, though pretty dark inside, so I think sitting outside is honestly the best if it's nice out. The food is hit or miss. I will say their pasta is really good (can't go wrong with a BYO of whatever you enjoy), and you get a really decent portion. I do feel like some of the toppings are overpriced, though. I ended up getting the penne pasta (my go-to), with pesto cream sauce, chicken, sundried tomatoes, and broccoli. The pesto cream sauce was super rich and smooth, and while I did mention the high price of toppings, they did pack a lot of chicken and veggies into my bowl. The sundried tomatoes are just SOO good, and the chicken and broccoli are your average, well-rounded additions.HOWEVER, the pizza is pretty sad and disappointing. It came out flimsy and weird looking on top, with barely any sauce and very yellow cheese. The pizza was so greasy that it left a really big puddle of oil when you picked up a slice. My boyfriend got the pepperoni pizza and there were very few pepperonis. Just not the place to get good neapolitan pizza.If you have kids, ask the waiter if they can get some raw dough, and they will bring you some for your kid to sculpt and shape into whatever creation they want. The chefs will then bake the dough creation and bring it back to your table, which is super cute. :)

My friends and I were hungry and heard about this place. Let me tell you that this is probably my new favorite pizza spot! These mozzarella sticks are out of this world! And the pizza!!! We ordered an 18" Teamster, and it was much larger than 18". Three grown men could not finish this pizza after the mozzarella sticks. It was so good! Nothing really like it..It tastes so authentic.**Update - Went back 3 weeks later and got the exact same thing again! It was SO good. Now i must bring the wife and kids!

The place is permanently closing the beginning of October 2024. I'm not a business man but have they taken into consideration their hours of operation are horrible? 4 out of the 6 days they open at 4:00pm missing a lunch crowd and Saturday and Sunday opening at noon. Monday closed. Sometimes businesses deserve to close their doors and they have nobody to blame but themselves. They claim higher prices, lower staff and automated systems "took away" from their identity but if you have a good product the business will adapt. There are hundreds of other pizza joints in Nashville making a good living therefore there are no excuses and no justifiable pity parties for this place.

My partner (Nashville native) highly recommended this place so we stopped in and had an ok experience. Definitely more pizza than we could eat and definitely a bit pricey (but who isn't these days). Our server was initially friendly but came off as pandering the further the interaction went on, ambiance was basically a dive bar - complete with drunk college kids throwing back shots loudly at the bar. Still, not a horrible experience - this experience earns the 2 stars. A few weeks later we ordered delivery via Uber Eats. I was sick and craving pizza after finally overcoming nausea and vomiting. We ordered a build your own via the Uber Eats app - 18 incher with olives, garlic, and fresh moz. There were no options to select a base sauce (there is in person) so I assumed it came with standard marinara. There was only an option to add on a sauce, which reads as a dipping sauce on the side (see screen grab). Our pizza arrived (after having to physically hunt down the driver half a block away on a side street, obviously this is a complain with Uber Eats, not the restaurant, and this was reflected in the adjusted tip). Here are the complaints - we were excited to dig in but surprised to find zero sauce on our pizza. Zero! This made for a very dry, flavorless pizza. Luckily I had some tomato sauce on hand and whipped up a quick marinara for dipping. Second complaint is that the 18 inch boxes do not fit in our fridge, so to save leftover we had to wrap slices up individually. Both of these complaints seem minor but are essentially what ordering pizza is all about so I cannot recommend this place. Seems like the old standards went out the window along with the old Nashville. If this is an error on the Uber Eats menu, here's your alert to fix it!

After walking the shops at 12 South - and a friend recommending this spot - the girls and I stopped in for happy hour/early dinner. We were one of the first patrons to enter and decided to sit in the enclosed patio. The rain was coming down and we were able to get the best of both worlds! Our server came over lickety split and was THE NICEST human! He introduced himself, rattled off the specials, provided us with great recommendations for drinks and engaged in fun conversation. He had us laughing and made our experience.We opted to start with a round of drinks - all of which were different. I opted for a fun and flirty cocktail, while the others got wine and a draft beer. YUM!Then out came our fresh Ceasar salads to accompany our delicious medium pizza - The Demartino - featuring salami, sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese, house mozzarella, arugula and basil chiffonade - which was divine! The pizza, on a thin crust was perfectly cooked, was foldable (essential!) and tasted so fresh! We happily enjoyed as much as we could before boxing up the rest for later.Pricing was on point and I'd easily venture back :)

Pizza was awesome! Service was slower than it should have been. It took over 40 minutes to get our Pizza and they had very few customers. The Pizza is worth the wait however.

Delicious food and great service! Chris is very personable and attentive!! Love Mafs!

We loved it! We will be back! The food was amazing service was really good! Atmosphere was nice as well. So happy we found this place!

Sat on patio and was an enjoyable game day environment. Beer is 2 for 1 on Saturday (4-7) and Sunday. Great deal. We ordered the Godfather Don size specialty pizza. It was good, a little greasy. Just a little pricey for what you get but it's a hot area so makes sense!! Service was friendly and truly feels like a neighborhood spot.
