In 1959, Mary Fazio opened the original Mary’s Pizza Shack, using her father’s recipes and her home kitchen’s pots and pans. Mary created a warm and cozy place where friends and family gathered to enjoy her home-cooked meals. She made everything from scratch, from pizza dough to soups, pasta sauces to salad dressings.
Mary’s Italian comfort food kept her friends returning to the Shack again and again. Mary pioneered the “open kitchen” concept so she could greet each guest as they walked through the door, and keep a watchful eye to make sure no one left hungry.
At each Mary’s Pizza Shack, staff prepares Mary’s Italian comfort food from scratch every day. No heat lamps. No frozen dough. No canned sauces. Soups, salad dressings, sauces, pizza dough and focaccia are all made fresh daily, using Mary’s original recipes.
