Mamba Point prides itself on the preparation of Italian pizzas and wide selection of cheese. Although short on gorgonzola for my visit, the pizzas are crafted with various blends of mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta, and even feta. The pizzas indeed reflect the style of their Italian relatives, with flour-dusted thin crusts, reasonable layers of cheese, and toppings that are not lathered on as if it were the last bite of melted cheese or bacon that one would ever have. The Margherita, while basic, satiated my taste for the wonderfully simple amalgam of mozzarella, bazil, and tomatoes. Other pizzas, such as the Valdostana, with boiled eggs and bacon, are both creative and packed with distinct and complementary flavors. If you get a craving for pesto, the Genovese will satisfy. This pizza’s main letdown is how the smooth blend of savory and cheesy pesto is not spread, but glopped onto the pizza in dollops. For those who are not keen on pizza this may not be the restaurant for you, but the menu also features salads and calzones. In spite of other offerings, pizzas are the way to go when ordering from Mamba Point Pizzeria, because they may not have the best pizzas in East Africa, but they are certainly some of the better pizzas in Kampala.
