Three reasons to drive out — and stay the night.
Mamma Margherita brings together the three things that make a weekend memorable: food worth travelling for, a place that feels like nature without giving up comfort, and something to actually do together. All on the banks of Pawna Lake.
Eat. Stay. Create.
Eat
Real Neapolitan pizza from a wood-fired oven — plus authentic Maharashtrian dinners for overnight guests.
Stay
Cabins built entirely from Canadian pine, with AC and attached washrooms — close to nature, easy on comfort.
Art
Pottery, canvas painting, craft and pizza-making workshops, and live music — for couples who want more than a stay.
This isn't pizza.
It's Napoli, by the lake.
We make pizza the way Naples has for generations — a blistered, leopard-spotted crust from a wood-fired oven, topped with ingredients we don’t compromise on. For the crowd that knows the difference, this is the real thing.
Staying the night? Dinner is authentic Maharashtrian cuisine, cooked fresh and served by the water.
Four things we never swap.
DOP tomatoes grown in volcanic soil — sweet, low-acid, unmistakable.
Fresh buffalo mozzarella, milky and soft, torn over the top.
Finely milled flour for a light, airy, properly fermented dough.
A blazing oven that cooks each pizza in 90 seconds flat.
Canadian pine cabins, steps from the water.
Each cabin is built entirely from imported Canadian pine — warm, quiet, and made to feel like a proper retreat. You’re surrounded by nature without giving up a single comfort.

Stay for the lake.
Remember the pottery.
The best weekends are the ones where you made something. Gather around a table, get your hands messy, and leave with more than just photos.
Canvas painting
Sip something warm and paint the lake in front of you. No experience needed.
Pottery
Throw clay on the wheel and shape something to take home with you.
Craft workshops
Hands-on sessions that change with the season — perfect for couples.
Pizza-making
Stretch your own dough and fire it in the wood oven — then eat your work.
Live music
Unplugged sets by the water on select evenings. Stay late, stay easy.

How far is it from Mumbai and Pune?

Workshops like pottery, painting and pizza-making run on a schedule and have limited spots, so it’s best to reserve when you book your stay.
