Mama Maria’s Restaurant and Beach Bar
For decades, Mama Maria has been serving Dewey Beach visitors pasta, pizza, and subs from its Rt. 1 location (and from a Milford venue) with the usual red-sauce approach and flare for which family-owned casual Italian restaurants are typically known. Mama Maria is fast casual, with friendly and attentive service, a variety of pizzas using fresh ingredients rather than out of a bottle or can, and many typical red sauce favorites, including a delightful chicken and veal parmigiana. Two-thirds of all fast food and fast casual dining are take-out across America since the Covid-19 pandemic, and Mama Maria does not disappoint, offering sit-down and call-ahead take-out, also catering to large groups. Taste and presentation lean toward the ‘saucy’ side, but breaded dishes are well seasoned, and pizza can be custom-prepared. Take the family or enjoy before a big drinking night, because Mama Maria is not a typical Dewey party place, instead catering to those who may want to enjoy some adult beverages with their meal, but not get too boisterous lest having to face the wrath of Mama Maria lurking in the kitchen.
