Pizza for the People
Community-Owned Cooperative Infrastructure (Catapult Cohort Supported)
Pizza for the People is a community-driven food initiative within the Mystic Mamas ecosystem. It brings people together through food while also creating jobs, training, and shared ownership opportunities.
We operate mobile wood-fired pizza pop-ups alongside indoor production of mushrooms and fresh greens. This work helps keep food and income circulating within the local community.
