Built On The Foundation Of Hospitality.
PIZZA & POSSIBILTIES
In March of 1988, John Policastro opened Mamma Mia in Hackensack, NJ – a small, dine-in restaurant and pizzeria that quickly blossomed into a beloved local stalwart. John attributes much of Mamma Mia’s success to his grandmother, who instilled a love and appreciation for delicious food and gracious hospitality within him.
Over the course of fifteen years, Mamma Mia firmly rooted itself at the center of Hackensack’s culinary scene, which inspired John to pursue expansion. Mamma Mia’s delivery service seamlessly segued into Personal Touch Catering and in turn in 2014 evolved into Personal Touch Experience.
A FULL CIRCLE
Throughout his expansion into catering and events, John has always remained true to his top priority: his appreciation for family—with his daughter Ashley at the helm of his experience team since 2011.
Full circle, Ashley’s husband Nick and his family used to frequent Mamma Mia’s when he was a young boy, growing up with the same strong passion for great food and hospitality. A match made in catering and hospitality heaven, Nick officially became part of the Personal Touch Experience family in 2016, bringing a fresh approach to style, detail, and precision—the finishing slice!
WE’RE JUST warming up!
With our continued growth, our humble beginnings still define our approach to providing world-class hospitality. We affirm our values and ensure they are integrated into every conversation, moment, and event: integrity, innovation, excellence, delicious food, and outstanding service—putting love into all we do, pampering every guest, and expressing gratitude that we are able to do what we love: making people happy.
From an intimate celebration to a gala for a thousand, every guest will be treated the same. Whether it’s a low-key and casual gathering or a black-tie affair, dining under a tent in Connecticut or in a premier NYC venue, an office executive lunch in NJ, or a five-course plated meal—we have done it all! And much like a good pizza, it never gets old; it only gets better!
