Founded in 1959 by Mary Fazio, Mary’s Pizza Shack continues the same quality food, passion and traditions today. Mary’s Pizza Shack provides homemade Italian food at reasonable prices. From one single “shack”, Mary’s has grown to 15 full-service casual Italian restaurants in Sonoma, Napa, Marin, Solano and Contra Costa Counties.

The home office is in Sonoma and the family business is still owned and operated by the second and third generation of Mary Fazio.

Mary's History

Cooking homemade Italian food is a rich part of our family history. It all began with the recipes our grandmother Mary Fazio served in the “shack”. Mary Fazio was born in New York City to immigrants of Ischia, Italy, a small island just west of Naples. In 1959, Mary took her own pots and pans from home, $700 savings and a passion for great Italian food to start Mary's Pizza Shack and the restaurant became an instant success. "I love my customers," she would say. "I want to take care of them. I guess I just love people." Mary proved that everywhere she went. At grocery stores and local shops, she was notorious for scribbling her signature on a napkin for locals and friends, valid for a free pizza.

Mary’s Pizza Shack operates 15 locations, based on Mary Fazio’s original recipes, traditions, quality food and passion. Mary’s Pizza Shack serves a variety of homemade Italian food including pizza, pasta, sandwiches, soups, salads, breadsticks, appetizers and desserts at moderate prices. The dressings, sauces, dough and soups are all made from scratch using Mary’s original recipes from her original shack. Each item is made to order and there are no heat lamps, frozen dough or canned sauces. All pasta meals include soup or salad, sourdough bread and choice of Iced Tea or coffee. Signature items include “baseball sized” meatballs, pesto breadsticks, salads, linguini with clams, gnocchi, homemade soups and desserts and of course the legendary pizza!
