Mokodo Pizza — Restaurant in Addis Ababa

Having been a loyal patron of this pizza place for over two years now, I can confidently attest that it remains one of the best in town. The secret to their mouthwatering pizzas lies in their brick oven, which imparts a deliciously crispy crust and just the right amount of char.

What sets this place apart is not just the quality of their pizzas, but also the plethora of add-on options available. Personally, I can’t get enough of their buffalo cheese—it adds a tangy kick that takes their pizzas to the next level. Whether you’re a meat lover, a veggie enthusiast, or somewhere in between, there’s something for everyone on their menu.

One memorable aspect of my initial visit to this pizza place was the warm welcome extended by Chef Tesfaye. From his bustling working space, he greeted us enthusiastically, inviting us to take a seat with a hearty shout of, “Come sit down, you’re gonna love it!” His infectious energy set the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic dining experience.

Despite being a regular for quite some time now, the taste remains consistently excellent, and the attention to detail is evident in every slice. From the fresh ingredients to the perfect balance of flavors, it’s clear that this pizza place takes pride in...

I ordered pizza by phone one hour before picking it up at the restaurant. I was told it would be ready in 30 minutes.

Despite this, they asked me to pay first before telling me it wasn’t ready — which felt dishonest and disrespectful.

What made the experience worse was the attitude: the chef and his assistant laughed and mocked me as I tried to explain my frustration. Only after rushing did they give me two pizzas, poorly prepared, with burnt dough and burnt toppings. I still had to pay 2,500 birr — and it was the only time I regretted spending money on food.

The atmosphere is zero because the staff’s behavior is below zero. Dishonesty and disrespect will damage a business far more than...

I’m sorry to write the review but I’m hoping someone will read it and do better. I’ve been ordering form here consistently for a while and the pizza keep getting worse. Today will be my last order. The pizza is flat as a ground. It looked like it’s been rolled but a roller. Italian pizza is stretched out by hand. It’s so flat that when they cook it it becomes dry and crunchy. The mozzarella instead of sprinkled is placed so much the pizza is completely covered in cheese you can’t even taste there tomato sauce. To the point that you feel like you’re chewing on dry cheese. How hard is it to make food pizza??? I don’t even think they take the dough through the proper fermentation processes. I think at this point they just mix the flour water yeast and just roll out it....
