I go here once and a while because its convenient and the prices are pretty good. It never seems to be that busy. Food quality is just flat out ok. It's not bad but it certainly isnt good.
This is some really good pizza. The shrimp scampi was delicious
Let me say that this place offers some unbeatable values. They have a special on a large pie Sun. thru Wed. for $6 That's not a typo...$6.00 and the pizza is actually good. I had a very good chicken parm sandwich with fries AND a soda for $5.88. There is a price to be paid for the excellent values here and that is the apparent disdain that some of the staff here seem to have for their customers. They can be somewhat rude at times on the phone, and behind the counter. A place that charges prices that are roughly half of what many competitors do ought to be bursting at the seams, yet it very rarely is very busy here. I would deduce that their lack of customer service has something to do with that. I would say that if you haven't tried this place, I would recommend it with a slight reservation about the less than stellar customer service.

This is a follow up to a review from last year. Calabria Mia continues to have much going for it. Food all around is very good and probably the best value in town. The pizza is decent, if unremarkable... crust is on the thick side. They make a very "cheesy" pie here, with not much sauce flavor. Great location on Main St. very convenient for a quick or leisurely lunch. The interior is small but nice, and clean. It's a bit odd because it's an Italian place, but none of the workers are Italian. As for the previously mentioned customer service, some of the employees are just wonderful, and some still seem to have an attitude. I'm still trying to figure these guys out. It's hard to put one's finger on whether it is possible prejudice against caucasians, or they're just wise guys or simply unhappy people. Us Jersey boys are bred to have a thick skin though, so I'm not really bothered.
