At the heart of MEZO is Philotimo: a Greek word with no direct translation, but a meaning we live by. It’s doing good for the sake of good. It’s honor, generosity, and showing up for others. It’s knowing your name, your order, and asking about your family.It’s how we cook. It’s how we serve. It’s how we welcome you.Our vision: The Spirit of Philotimo (Φιλότιμο)It’s a Greek word with no true English translation. It means doing good for the sake of good. It’s honor, humility, generosity and a love for one another. It’s that feeling you get when someone remembers your name, your favorite order, and asks about your family.Our story begins long before MEZO – in the ovens of Dedham House of Pizza, where for 50 years, families have gathered around slices made with care and tradition. It’s where we learned that food isn’t just what you serve – it’s how you serve it. Every pizza, every salad, every gyro – it all starts with the same purpose: to feed people the way we’d feed our own.

The word “moona” or “mouneh” in slang comes from the Arabic word mana or ma'oona, meaning "storing." In other words, it’s the English equivalent of "the pantry". In the past, especially in remote villages in the Arab World, the moona was prepared during the bountiful harvest for consumption during winter's harsh days, providing fundamental nourishment for the daily meal, having transformed perishable produce into food with a long shelf life: foods such as olives, pickles, preserved lemons, cheese, spices, herbs, jams, etc.
