Mammamia

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Real Neapolitan Pizza in the Heart of Shanghai

Mammamia Pizzeria on Julu Road makes a straightforward promise: authentic Neapolitan pizza, cooked in a wood oven, with genuine buffalo mozzarella. In a city where Italian food can drift far from its roots, that commitment is the whole point. The dough, the mozzarella, the pasta cooked al dente to original Italian recipes — nothing here is approximated.

The restaurant earned recognition from Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food guide, which places Mammamia among the credible destinations for Neapolitan pizza outside Italy. That kind of acknowledgment carries weight precisely because Gambero Rosso applies the same standards globally that it uses at home.

Beyond Shanghai's Jing'an location on Julu Road, Mammamia has extended its approach to Suzhou and Wuxi — a sign that the straightforward formula of honest ingredients and traditional technique travels well. Whether you're after a properly blistered pizza or a plate of pasta that hasn't been softened into submission, Mammamia holds the line on what Italian cooking is supposed to taste like.
