About
At Mofo's Pizza & Pasta, every pizza slice is a passport to pleasure, and every pasta bite tells a tale of taste.
Established in 1986, Mofo's Pizza & Pasta in Incline Village, NV, has been a favorite for its commitment to using fresh ingredients straight from the market.
Owned and operated by the local Family Morrison, this pizza parlor also offers pasta dinners and a salad bar.
Their marinara sauce originates from Walter Morrison, a World War II P-38 pilot. Walter was shot down over the Mediterranean Sea, and the current brought him to the coast of Italy. Walter lived with Italian sheepherders in the mountains for six months. He learned the sauce recipe he later brought to America.
Walter's son, John Morrison, and his wife, Barbara, started Mofo's Pizza & Pasta in 1986. But when John lost his battle with cancer, their son, Justin Morrison, took over the family legacy.
The cozy, family-friendly atmosphere makes Mofo's Pizza & Pasta an ideal spot for casual gatherings, date nights, or a bite after exploring the nearby Lake Tahoe.
At Mofo's, you'll experience the true passion for honest cooking, where each dish is full of delicious ingredients, and there's something for everyone's palate.
