"Reminiscing about the great time we had at this place last night! We spent the weekend in Bedford visiting relatives and decided to book this place, because we’re big pizza fiends and the reviews meant it made sense! Have not stopped thinking about the food all day! If you’re lucky enough to know what a proper Neapolitan pizza tastes like and have been chasing the dream of tasting it again… look no further! If you haven’t been to Naples before, then this place takes you there and back in one evening! This is hands down the best pizza outside of Naples! In fact I would go as far as to say that it could easily hold its own amongst the 100s of pizzerias in its birth City! The restaurant itself is casually quirky… named after the owner’s mother, with photos to couple that offer a little glimpse into the owners background with Italian memorabilia for days… including a real vesper hanging on a shelf from the ceiling, you’re hit with the scent of the wood fired oven as soon as you walk through the doors letting you know instantly that you’re in for a treat… the real deal! The relaxed, but upbeat vibe coupled with the warm and attentive welcome and service from the owner and the staff meant it was only fair to start with a round of Aperol Spritzes, which was followed by a number of bottles of delicious Primitivo throughout the meal that ultimately led to some singing and dancing at the end of our meal! We allowed the owner to recommend lots of things off the menu to share and boy did he not disappoint! Everything from pizzas, to pizza rolls to bruschetta meant that we were all able to try the classic Neapolitan pizza base with various different flavours! Highly recommend trying the Pizza Tartufo if you like truffle! I’m Italian and visit Naples most years and the pizza base is up there with the best I’ve tried! Hats off to the pizzaiolas as mastering this culinary delight is not easy! The pork meatballs in tomato sauce and oven roasted cracked pepper and salty ribs were delicious! But aside from the extremely high quality of the pizzas it was a bowl full of cheese and charcuterie that stole the show! Imagine a huge ball of creamy burrata that when cut open released loads of tiny balls of morzarella! It was truly next level! I have never seen or tasted anything quite like it! We finished with a round of espressos and some traditional Italian pastries, which were out of this world! We had such a lovely evening from the food to the wine, service to the vibe it really was exceptional! The only thing I wasn’t happy about was leaving, knowing that this restaurant isn’t on my doorstep! The only saving grace is the avoided damage it would do to my waistline if it was, as I would be here every weekend! Cannot wait to go back!"

A lovely Pizza (Divalo) plenty of toppings of Pepperoni Nudga with Red Peppers. Cooked in a traditional oven. The mixed salad was superb. The only disappointment for this Italian eatery was that they didn’t sell Red Italian Wine by the glass only Chilean!!! Friendly Service

I almost don’t want to tell others about this gem! This place is wonderful! Proper Italian family run place. So welcoming. The pizzas are just incredible. I almost didn’t want to write this, as it will become even more difficult to get a seat in this little star of a restaurant!

Really lovely food, and hosts! Thanks so much for a wonderful evening : . I would definitely recommend mamma concetta to anyone looking to have a lovely lovely family night out in a great atmosphere. The only small downside was the music volume early in the evening. My dad has hearing aids and my kids are autistic and can get overwhelmed. We all managed anyway and the volume reduced later on, aldo to be fair didn't say anything. But I'd suggest maybe turning down the base and volume a bit. Though this did not in anyway detract from the lovely food and welcome. We hope to come back.

We visited for an evening meal with friends in December 2023. Mama Concetta is a family run traditional Italian pizzaria serving the most delicious freshly made pizzas in a warm and homely atmosphere. We booked in advance which was good as the restaurant was very busy. Despite this, the staff were not stressed and delivered excellent service as well as absolutely delicious food. The pizzas here have traditional Italian toppings, all very tasty and freshly made, no deep pan stuffed crust here they are very tasty. The desserts are also an excellent traditional Italian variety. Overall, we would wholly recommend this excellent pizzaria and will definitely return.
