our story

A local landmark located in Waltham, Massachusetts.

When you speak of local landmarks in Waltham, Massachusetts, the name Pizzi’s comes quickly to the lips of residents. Founded in 1933 by Domenic and Angela Pizzi, Pizzi Farms has grown up with Waltham’s residents, their parents, and grandparents.

In 1965 Richard and Alba Pizzi opened the Pizzi Farm Stand. It was the place to go to get pumpkins in the fall (and candy from those big glass jars if you were really good!).

Fresh, fast, and absolutely delicious sandwiches. What a treasure to have in our neighborhood!

In 1990 the next generation of Pizzi’s took the reins, as Rick Pizzi and his sister Cheryl opened Pizzi Farm Market & Deli and Pizzi Farm Ice Cream. Summer at Pizzi’s means a cone, sundae, avalanche or twist from the creamery window…eaten quickly before it melts at one of the picnic tables set up outside. Year round, lunch time at its best is a trip to Pizzi’s award winning deli for a sandwich, grilled panini, salad or soup. And if you want to be the most popular person in the office, take some back for your coworkers as well!
