- 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 17 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 and sourdough bread. Signature items include "baseball sized" meatballs, pesto breadsticks, salads, linguini with clams, gnocchi, homemade soups and desserts and of course the legendary pizza! Sunday through Thursday: 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday: 11 a.m. - 11 p.m.

Avoid the chicken burger, perhaps go for the pasta
The crispy chicken burger was a huge disappointment! Unfortunately the burger and bread bap was over cooked. The chicken burger tasted like it had been cooked in oil multiple times - I couldn’t eat...
Great Lunch Spot
We stopped in for a quick meal after visiting a few wineries. They have really great lunch specials for $9.50 (at the time of posting 10/2022) that you really can't beat. We both had the pizza slice...
Slow Service an Understatement
Food was fine but it took ages to get anything done which meant that we had to run back to our tour bus and completely missed any chance to wander around the square. No one was particularly friendly...
