Mookie’s Pizza<br />
Sandwiches and More<br />
Offers Southern Italian<br />
Favorites<br />
Late Night Bites<br />
by Chef Giuseppi Panetta<br />
For those discerning diners on the hunt for delicious Italian fare,<br />
Mookie’s Pizza, Sandwiches and More is now open in the North end of<br />
Palm Springs. Mookie’s offers great food at reasonable prices, and will<br />
be open late night for those who like to have that “midnight snack” on<br />
weekends. Owners Stafford Fredericks and his partner, Chef Giuseppi<br />
Panetta, decided to name the restaurant after their beloved Yorkshire<br />
terrier.<br />
Chef Panetta has created recipes that are a blend of traditional familystyle<br />
meals, incorporating his unique interpretation of Southern Italian<br />
classics. Having trained in Italy, he last worked as Executive Chef at<br />
the restaurant Say Cheese in L.A.’s Silver Lake neighborhood. Panetta’s<br />
Calabrian specialties include pizza, calzones, and ravioli.<br />
Customers rave about the food, many claiming that Panetta’s signature<br />
calzones are the best they’ve ever had. Chef Guiseppi has added Tina's<br />
Calzone to the menu, so named after a customer with a special request.<br />
Mookie’s is located at 2100 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Suite B-104 in Palm<br />
Springs (next to Toucans). The restaurant is open from 11am to 10pm<br />
(closed Mondays). For the late night crowd, Mookie’s is open until 3<br />
am on Friday and Saturday nights, and until midnight on Sundays and<br />
Thursdays. Catering is also available for groups up to 75 persons.<br />
