About Mamma Carmela Cafe Pizzeria

Stepping off the Glenelg tram into Moseley Square leads straight to Mamma Carmela, serving hearty handmade pasta, split-topping pizzas, and morning espresso all day. Diners make the trek down the Bay for homestyle Italian staples that hit the spot—from morning chilli scrambled eggs to evening pastas. The kitchen turns out tender handmade gnocchi bathed in rich sauce, alongside pizzas that let split-minded tables order half-and-half combinations. For a standout dinner, the folded gourmet calzone comes ladled with sugo di pomodoro, spilling melted feta, mushrooms, and olives across the plate.

  • Half-and-Half Pizza Combinations: Diners can split two pizza styles across a single crust to easily accommodate differing preferences.
  • All-Day Coastal Dining: The kitchen runs seamlessly from morning cooked breakfasts and coffees to evening pastas and calzones.
  • Tram-Side Moseley Square Setting: Positioned right by the Moseley Square tram stop steps from Glenelg Jetty, offering indoor and outdoor seating.

Traditional homestyle classics, beachside tram convenience, and adaptable dining for groups in Glenelg.

  • Handcrafted Traditional Gnocchi

    Diners seeking homestyle Italian comfort can rely on freshly made gnocchi prepared tender with rich, flavourful sauces.

    Obviously handmade, it is very tender and the sauce was bursting with flavour.

  • Hearty Gourmet Calzones

    Hearty calzones and classic oven-baked dishes provide substantial, comforting portions filled with generous savoury ingredients.

    Today I went with the Gourmet Calzone and a regular cappuccino, both of which were scrumptious.

  • Half-and-Half Sharing for Groups

    Split-topping pizza options enable parties with varying tastes to share a single meal harmoniously without compromise.

    The 'half & half' option is ideal if you cannot decide which pizza to get, and makes for good sharing between people with different preferences.
