I really enjoyed this place. We were greeted at the door but not in a pushy way. When entering the atmosphere was great, there was memorabilia all over the ceiling, some really cool light shades over the booths. There was a large bar area to the left and the kitchen was behind the bar at the back. After choosing what we wanted, we ordered at the bar. Server was very friendly.
While waiting for our food I wondered to the rear of the restaurant where they had some arcade machines, some retro as well! I then had a look at the museum upstairs as well. It is very well done. Lots of memorabilia, newspaper cuttings, a few films playing and a couple of bridge models.
We enjoyed the food, I had a cheese pizza and my wife had the spaghetti.

Absolute 5 star. People are nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend the plain chicken wings. They have crispy skin and juicy meat. Definitely one of the best wings I’ve ever had in my life here in the states. For photographers and history enthusiasts, the restaurant itself is a good place to explore. It brings me back to the good old days when workers were still endeavoring to build the Mackinac bridge.

The pizza here is really good. Hard to describe the taste and texture though. It was not overly filling and didnt cause me to feel bloated like some pizza brands do. Perhaps it was because the pizza is not overly saucy. I only give the place a four because it was a little dated, which I know is the theme of such a place but I think having comfy booths instead of benches that would be great and maybe a renovated bathroom or change in color… something, anything. I do like places with glasses with their name on it though. I will be back some time.

The pizza here was legit amazing — super fluffy and just hit the spot. Loved that you can pick your own toppings too, and they’ve got some solid veggie options
The vibe inside is really nice, chill and cozy. Only thing is the wait was kind of long, but once the food came out… totally worth it.
Also, those cheese breadsticks? Fire Definitely coming back for more.

The cauliflower crust is good. Service was ok. Order at the counter, then pick your seat, then they call out your number (and everyone else’s number) while you’re there on a loud microphone.
They have Styrofoam plates and plastic silverware.
Tiny cups for water.
Everything is self-serve.
It feels like an old nineties skate rink.

Came here yearly as a child and dad would take us to the museum, but NEVER LET US EAT THE PIZZA! Coming back as an adult *decades* later I finally have my own adult money to spend on the pizza and it was our favorite meal of the trip! Expensive, but delicious!

Everything here is self service. Ordering, getting your own drinks and refills. We ordered the Mama Mia Deluxe Medium and it was fantastic. The crust around the edges were crisp and there was no “flop”. The best pizza I’ve had in a while. Thanks.

Mama Mia’s Pizza has been a staple in Mackinaw City for years. The food is made fresh to order and the staff are alwaays so helpful and hilarious throughout the experience. The cooks tonight seemed like they were having a grand time while working efficiently completing orders and engaging with their guests. The upstairs has more seating, but the real reason to check out the upstairs is the museum. It is full of newspaper clippings and other memorabilia, some dating back to when the ‘Mighty Mac’ Bridge was being built! They also have a short documentary movie playing about the building of the Mackinaw Bridge that is worth seeing. Even if you aren’t hungry yet, they allow you to enjoy the wonderful museum and all it has to offer. Definitely a must stop both for filling an empty stomach and gaining more knowledge.
My personal favorite part with tonight’s experience was the staff alone. Way to go guys and gal and hope y’all have a fantastic holiday weekend!

This was my favorite late (ish) night restaurant in Mackinaw City. They have a bar, and a pretty wide range of food options. I loved the turkey sub, but also liked that they cooked slices fresh to order so I could customize my toppings for a slice of pizza (rather than needing to pick from what’s available). For kids, they have an arcade. For history buffs, they have a neat museum showing the history of building the Mackinaw Bridge (no photos of the food or restaurant, but here’s a few from the bridge museum)

The worst pizza I’ve ever had. The dough is very airy and almost raw. The BBQ chicken pizza is a sweet BBQ sauce and the cheese pizza tastes like garlic.
The service was helpful to clean up but there is no table service. You order at the counter and they’ll call your order number. There is a museum upstairs that is neat to look at for all the bridge info.
