Classic red-checkered vinyl tablecloths and community-themed murals brighten up the dining space inside Mary’s Pizza Shack, a classic Italian cafe that brings in guests from all over Rohnert Park for homestyle cooking. Pizzas here are made from the recipes of founder Mary Fazio, and still embody her passion for tradition and quality.

Mary’s Pizza Shack serves up pizzas, pastas, salads, soups, and sandwiches seven days a week, and guests say this kind of from-scratch cooking is easy to tell apart from the pre-made doughs and sauces many pizza places use. Meatball sandwiches here require a knife and fork, while the infamous Mary’s combination pizza makes for a no-frills lunch experience teaming with tradition.

Explore an incredible selection of homemade Italian dishes between 11 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, or 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
