Mama Palma’s

As Samuel L says in Pulp Fiction, “Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit!” Mama Palma’s at 23rd and Spruce is some gourmet shit. They’re all sorts of gourmet with their made to order pies, and their imported from Italy brick oven and their multitudes of fresh ingredient toppings. They are also shit with their mostly tasteless pizza, their $6 pints of beer and their bougie center city prices. Ok so shit is completely overdoing it. We all enjoyed our pizza very much.
 Our mistake was that we ordered the margherita pizza which isn’t the most exciting option on the menu. They definitely did NOT skimp on the fresh basil but the tomato sauce was mediocre. The dough was deliciously soft and crispy and wasn’t too heavy. They cut up the pie into half-slices which was kind of girlie but it made sharing pretty easy.
It was $19.50 for a 16″ pie, even though it feed 3 people that seems a bit steep for a pizza and that was one of the cheapest pie on the menu.
It’s busy as shit and it is hard to find parking in that area. If you don’t live in walking distance from this place and you are really hungry…think twice before heading here. However, we feel this place deserves a second chance so we will give it another try someday. 

Sorry for the shitty quality of the pictures both of us forgot cameras so these were taken on the iPhone
