Mulberry Street is a family owned business. The original owner created the restaurant for his children. He was from New York and named Mulberry Street after the famous street in New York’s Little Italy. In 1986 Ted Rowe purchased Mulberry Street and after 32 successful years, sold the restaurant in 2018 to Bill and Chrisoula Capetanos to continue the legacy. 

The original restaurant on Redwood Highway was too small and we moved to the current location in 1992. The menu expanded from a simple salad and several pizzas as our guests began requesting their favorites over and over. Ted’s dad made the Hal’s Pizza from his favorite meats. Ted created the Cajun Sausage and Andouille with Milan Salami (family owned in Oakland) and the Three Beer Pizza was born. The Greek Pizza was a collaboration with the Musco Olive Company (family owed in Tracy). We still don’t know the recipe for the secret Musco spices used to marinate the green olives on that pizza.

Ted’s passion for creating new items for the menu expanded to lasagna and pasta. He couldn’t offer just one dressing for the salad so he created the Blue Cheese and Thousand Island with variations from his mother’s own recipes. His love for Caesar Salad produced another new dressing. It was the same with the addition of the soups. The Cream of Tomato with a Hint of Curry and the Cream of Mushroom have cult followings.
