About

Since 2008, Saucy Mama's Pizzeria has been crafting hand-tossed, stone oven-cooked pizzas that delight Big Bear diners.

The inception of Saucy Mama's is as humble as it is heartwarming. Owner Diane Murray started by serving her homemade pizzas to friends, family, and neighbors. Coupled with their encouragement and her grandmother's sauce recipe, she became a restaurateur and opened Saucy Mama's Pizzeria.

Diane also relied upon her art background to create a fun, artsy vibe at Saucy Mama's Pizzeria. Her creative touch makes visiting all the more enjoyable. Equally appealing is the pizzeria's location, making it perfect before or after an adventure on Big Bear Lake. Treat your guests to a hand-tossed pie after a cruise with the Big Bear Queen Lake Tour. Or after heart-pumping thrills at Alpine Slide at Mountain, celebrate with pasta, pizza, and cold drinks.

The pizzeria has earned a reputation for its delectable, hand-tossed pizzas, where memories are made and traditions are born. Such growth is a journey marked by dedication, community support, and an unwavering commitment to quality. You'll taste this and more with every bite.
