My husband and I are new to Winston Salem (just moved from Southern California 4 mos ago), so we have been on the lookout for great places to eat, and MPN didn’t disappoint. We went last Saturday night and sat at the counter for the Pizzakase experience. We were wowed by 8 courses served over 2 hours. Everything was exceptional, including the detailed description of what we were eating and how it was prepared. This was not just pizza. It started with a beautiful tomato salad, followed by several kinds of pizza, and also pasta, risotto balls, a “pizza sandwich”, and a delightful peach/cherry/ricotta concoction for dessert. I give this place an ENTHUSIASTIC two thumbs up!! And, come hungry!!

First of all, the service and ambience was phenomenal. Our server explained each course of the prix fixe in depth & answered any questions we had. The first appetizer (we ordered one prior to choosing the prix fixe route) was amazing, and the first 2 courses were very good. The peaches , tomatoes and mussels were so fresh. The pizza was too doughy imo and didn’t have enough sauce where I felt the dough over powered the course, which I was a little bummed because it did sound like a great pizza. The dessert was just mid.
Would definitely like to try other pizzas on the menu and more of the seafood options.

We went in around 5:30 with my fiancé and got the prix fixe our service was phenomenal and our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable on all of our courses. All of our courses were great aside from, funny enough, the pizza was just not great. I expected more as we enjoyed the rest of the courses. If I were to go back I would select a pasta dish along with another pizza to see if it was maybe the chefs choice of that day.

I’m saddened by the owners reply to my deceased son’s girlfriend who recently gave a review of this establishment! She not only told the absolute truth but she also gave credit where it was due as in the Hostess who in all truthfulness was/is a glorified bus person! She gets the least amount of $ and does twice the work! I know I was one at Ted’s Montana Grill! But I’m flabbergasted and mind blown still at this owner, Peyton! Can you say Petty? Every word my sweet girl said who came down from Pittsburgh PA to visit us and my Mother chose this Pizza place as it used to be a part of the Mission across the street and therefore it was a connection to my son her grandson and his girlfriend and daughter! Their website is ridiculous! Even I at 57 and once married to a software engineer found it to be not only difficult to understand but the rules! The regulations were more than I have seen in a rental agreement! Peyton was rude called my stepfather rude for “not understanding his own reservation!” He proceeded to make all of us at the table of 5 very uncomfortable! Most importantly the 9 year old with us! Again as my sweetheart of a Yankee said the Hostess was amazing and the food ehh I have certainly had better and wasn’t made to feel “ignorant” and I could go on but as she put it so eloquently “so much for our southern hospitality!” Thanks “Peyton” really gave Winston-Salem a bad taste in 5 people’s mouth and you sir still got your payment! Btw folks if you call to make a reservation as is required for parties over 4 be ready for a hefty deposit on your credit/debit card! Amy Madison NC #gosteelers

I’ll start by saying the food itself was great! The restaurant is beautiful, small and personal. We are visiting from out of state and this was our first night out in the area. We made a reservation online, this is where we ran into our first issue. The website was hard to navigate for my friend’s grandfather and after putting down +$200 for our reservation we got there and realized we had reserved a tasting menu. We asked if we could switch the reservation to ordering off of the menu instead and the hostess said absolutely and immediately accommodated the request. She did not say anything about food being already prepared or that it would be an inconvenience in any way. If we had known, we would have stuck with what we paid for. Payton, the owner, came up to us and yelled at us. He called us rude for not understanding what we reserved and proceeded to berate my friend’s grandfather. We considered leaving despite having already ordered, but as a veteran he said he had never walked out on anything and he didn’t plan to start tonight. We will never be back and I was very disappointed with my first experience in Winston-Salem. Not the “southern hospitality” we expected.

Great place to dine. Food is excellent and has a soft ambiance that is inviting for a good date night or tasty bites in general.

Best restaurant in Winston Salem, and one of the best pizza places on the east coast. We always enjoy the Pizzakase experience, well worth the money. Incredible food every time.

This is the ONE place I know in Winston Salem serving authentic pizza Italiana ?? Certainly not Cugino Forno! ? If you like the food, show some love and buy the kitchen a round of beers ?

They do NOT accept take out orders. No exceptions. Extremely disappointed, I’ve been in the hospital for almost a week and tried to send someone to place a pickup and they refused to take the order, and even let them know the situation. I will not be giving them my business in the future, and I do not care how good the pizza is if they’re this heartless.
If they’re too busy to be open to the public, then they should just shut it down.
I hate giving bad reviews but when you tell your guests they can’t get a plain cheese pizza there is an assumption that we should trust the chef’s creativity and skill and you’ll thank us later. Unfortunately this was not the case. The soppresata pie was essentially strips of deli salami with mixed greens which could have been rescued by a proper crust. Regrettably the dough wasn’t fermented long enough as evidenced by the lack of color on the bottom and the pizza was cooked too quickly in the hottest part of the oven. The result was an undercooked middle with speckles of char around the crust. A big letdown for the lofty price

We love Mission Pizza! This year for our anniversary finding a place to eat was more challenging due to my dietary limitations for a new allergy. The staff/kitchen was well aware of what I could and couldn’t eat and if our server was unsure he would check with the kitchen first. I haven’t been able to eat out much so it was a nice change of pace and Mission Pizza didn’t disappoint. The arugula salad and Burrata were my favorites but everything was delicious!
