PIZZA & POSSIBILTIES

Personal Touch Catering Experience - NYC Caterers

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 to catering and events, John has always remained true to his top priority and 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, and was brought up with the same strong passion for great food and hospitality. A match made in catering / event and hospitality heaven, Nick decided to officially become a part 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 towards providing world-class hospitality. We affirm our values and check that 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 having gratitude that we are able to do what we love - making people happy.

From an intimate celebration to a gala for a thousand, they will be treated just the same. Low key and causal or a black tie affair, dining under a tent in Conneticut or in a premier NYC venue, an office executive lunch in NJ or a five course plated meal - we have done it! And much like a good pizza - it never gets old, only better!
