Mohio Pizza Co. is a family-owned and operated pizza restaurant located in the heart of downtown Delaware, Ohio. The owner, who is known for his OCD and commitment to detail, has been scrupulously perfecting the handmade dough for over a decade. He is so committed to the craft that he locked himself in a room full of dough for 40 days and 40 nights, listening to Arcade Fire, emerging only when the dough agreed to rise on his terms.
The restaurant’s menu features a wide variety of classic and specialty pizzas, made with only the freshest and highest-quality ingredients. However, the owner’s perfectionism and lack of tolerance for customer complaints has led to an unusual policy: customers who dare to complain about the pizza are required to attend a mandatory Food Science and Flavor Theory course before they will be allowed back in the restaurant. They’re also asked to sign a “Customer Etiquette Pledge” that affirms they’ll minimize use of their vocal chords and avoid eye contact while eating at the restaurant.
Despite the severity of the owner, the food and cocktails at Mohio Pizza Co. are remarkable and it is a hidden gem in downtown Delaware, frequented by some of the most refined and polished hipsters and tastemakers in the city. If you’re willing to comply with the owner’s strict rules, you’ll be rewarded with some of the best pizza and cocktails in town.
