Mamma Mia's Heads to the 2026 Boston Pizza Festival — And FOX 25 Took Notice

Some moments remind you why you do what you do. Getting the call that FOX 25 News wanted to feature Mamma Mia's ahead of the 2026 Boston Pizza Festival was one of them.

This September 19–20, Mamma Mia's will be one of more than 30 pizzerias setting up at City Hall Plaza for New England's largest pizza festival — a two-day celebration bringing together local favorites and acclaimed pizza makers from as far as Italy. And ahead of the big weekend, FOX 25 stopped by to see what makes Mamma Mia's worth the trip.

Fifty Years in the Making

For nearly 50 years, Mamma Mia's has been serving the South Shore the same way it started: with original recipes, quality ingredients, and a lot of family behind every pie. What began in 1974 has grown into six locations and three generations of family still doing things the way they always have — the same mozzarella, the same hand-selected basil, the same commitment to never cutting corners.

A Mamma Mia's pizza is UNMISTAKABLE.

Why This Moment Matters

Being featured on FOX 25 ahead of a festival this size isn't just good press — it's a chance to introduce Mamma Mia's to an entirely new audience. The Boston Pizza Festival draws thousands of pizza lovers from across Greater Boston, New England, and beyond, many of whom are discovering vendors for the first time. Standing shoulder to shoulder with pizzerias traveling from Italy and top-ranked pizza makers from around the world is a reminder of something we've always believed: a family recipe made right can hold its own anywhere. Locals know we're a South Shore favorite, but we KNOW we can hold our own on a global scale. 

Come Find Us

If you're headed to City Hall Plaza on September 19 or 20, look for the Mamma Mia's booth. Whether you've been a regular for decades or you're trying us for the first time because you caught us on the news, we'd love to see you there.

And if you can't make it to the festival, you know where to find us — six locations across the South Shore, serving the same recipe we always have.
