About Lucky Mama’s
Our Story
2020from a backyard
Airstream
In March 2020, with the world on pause, Mamadou Dhiam and Gaby Santos fired up an Airstream trailer in their garden and started cooking the Italian food they loved — with a twist nobody saw coming.
Word travelled. A loyal following grew through festivals and frost fairs across Greater Manchester until, in 2022, Lucky Mama’s found a home in Chorlton — and painted it bright, unapologetic pink. A second spot opened in Monton in 2024.
“We want people to smile, feel at ease, and have fun.”
— Mamadou, co-founder
Why Lucky Mama’s
01
The Edible Dough Bowl
We mould pizza dough around a metal bowl, bake it golden, then pile it with freshly made pasta. Eat the bowl. Everyone does.
02
Made Fresh, Every Day
Roman-style dough and Veneto pasta made in-house daily. No shortcuts — just the good stuff, cooked to order.
03
Born in Lockdown
Started in 2020 from an Airstream in an Eccles back garden. Word-of-mouth did the rest. Now we paint Chorlton pink.
