About Mimo Hospitality

Founded by Meagan Cederbaum and Simon Bernhard, Mimo Hospitality is a Swiss hospitality group passionate about creating memorable experiences and strengthening communities worldwide. "Mimo" stands for (mi)cro-(mo)ments. We are totally focused on the little moments in between. We believe in holistic services, which means going beyond the four walls of a restaurant or hotel and immersing ourselves in the digital world. Before, during and after, whether online or right in front of you, we take the time to carefully craft our concepts and accompany you on every step of your journey. Because every micro-moment is an opportunity to offer something special. Our ultimate goal is to change the way you experience hospitality by strengthening more sustainable food-systems.

About ALBA Sourdough Pizza

Located in the vibrant heart of Kreis 3 in Zurich, ALBA Sourdough Pizza is built around craftsmanship, fermentation, and a deep respect for ingredients. Our concept is enriched by the presence of AULUS, our 159-year-old sourdough starter, which represents a living legacy and the foundation of our pizzas.

We work with a unique network of carefully selected producers to help build a more sustainable food system. By importing many ingredients directly from our producers and eliminating middlemen, we ensure exceptional quality, transparency, and consistency in everything we serve.

In 2025, ALBA expanded with two new locations:

• Birmensdorferstrasse 431 – focused on delivery, take-away, and workshops, supporting our growing operations.
• Stampfenbachstrasse 68 – open also for lunch, where we offer a different product concept, featuring New York–style pizza slices, while maintaining our commitment to quality and fermentation.

In addition, we brought ALBA to the festive season with a stand at the Illuminarium Christmas Market, where we also served NY-style pizza slices, adapting our craft to a fast-paced, street-food environment.

At ALBA, we value passion, precision, and teamwork. We offer an international, dynamic workplace where quality, sustainability, and creativity are at the core of everything we do.
