Best pizza I’ve had in the Southeast and it’s not even close. Salads are wonderful too, and so are the small plates. Curated wine selection that fits the cuisine perfectly. We have driven from Raleigh just to go here multiple times. Almost glad it isn’t closer or we’d be there twice a week.
Nope, it’s not your hole in the wall joint where you pick all the toppings. Who cares. Trust the chef. Let someone who KNOWS make you something you never knew you always wanted, and enjoy one of the best things you can put in your mouth.

Best pizza I’ve ever had. We had the arugula salad, mussels, and a red and white pie, it was all coursed very nicely. Cool atmosphere, no bs they know the food speaks for itself.

Pizza is just ok nothing special. We did walk in and there was an hour and 15 min wait (which we didn’t mind walking around for a bit before dinner). The hostess said they would text us once our table was ready but never got a text so we decided to go inside after waiting a hour and 45 mins and they still didn’t have the table ready. After all that we ended up getting seated at the bar. We ordered two pizzas and a Mexican Coke. The total came out to $58 and the only tip options available were none, 20%, 22% and 25% (no option to customize) so I ended up paying $70 for two pizzas and a coke.

My husband and I are foodies and esp pizza connoisseurs. Our favorite pizza is in Tulum called Checkpoint pizza. We haven’t found any Neapolitan pizza that is up to par until we found Mission Pizza! 10/10. We did the pizza-makase. The dough is next level. The ambiance is great. The staff is superb. Definitely recommend.

My Husband and I had the Pizzakase on Valentine’s Day. It was 8 courses and all were so delicious! I highly recommend! The pizza crust alone is easily the best I’ve ever had. I can’t ever eat commercial pizza again. Reading some of the other reviews, I think some people didn’t know what to expect . It’s not your typical pizza place. We sat at the counter where we saw the food being prepared. I feel like the made the experience even more fun.

We tried the pizzakase menu (6 shared courses + wine pairing) and unfortunately left feeling very underwhelmed for the price — our bill was $334 for two.
The concept is a play on Japanese omakase, which we were excited about, but the execution fell short. Most of the meal was predominantly bread: salad → whole pizza → half pizza → pasta → whole pizza → dessert (two chunks of watermelon). While the food itself was okay, it wasn’t anything special, and the value just wasn’t there.
The wine pairing was disappointing, and we later realized we could have ordered everything individually from the menu for less than the set price. Service also felt awkward — instead of thoughtful stories or inspiration for each dish (as advertised), we were just given a quick list of ingredients, with little enthusiasm. It didn’t feel like the intimate, passionate omakase-style experience it was trying to be.
They make decent pizza, but trying to deliver a tasting menu/omakase experience just isn’t their strength — they’d be better off focusing on what they do well. To top it off, a 20% gratuity was automatically added and then we were prompted to tip on top of that. Overall, not worth the cost or the hype.

We dined as a group of 6 for the Pizzakase last evening. I have been anticipating this experience for quite some time as were our guests. Everything exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect amount of food as we left full, but not stuffed. Great service, great banter with the chef, explaining each of the courses, all around an incredible pizza experience!

We drove two hours to dine at Mission Pizza, and it was absolutely worth every minute of the trip. The food, the creativity, and the service were all exceptional. The Pizzakase experience was truly unforgettable, each dish was unique, beautifully crafted, and incredibly flavorful.
Our entire family loved every course, and we’re already talking about when we can come back again. A truly special dining experience!

I had an outstanding experience at Mission Pizza during the gourmet pizzakase meal on November 15. The food was exceptional from start to finish. Peyton, the owner and chef, really impressed with the range of dishes he prepared — everything from a Northeastern-inspired oyster pizza to a fried-dough style pie. Each course showed real craftsmanship, and watching his attention to detail throughout the night added to the experience.
The presentations were thoughtful, the pacing was on point, and the wine pairings could not have been better. Peyton also shared some stories about his travels and influences, which gave great context to the flavors and choices behind the dishes.
This experience is all about trying new things and stepping outside the ordinary. Letting the chef take the lead and seeing where it goes made the night genuinely fun. Overall, a great time — highly recommended if you’re looking for something unique and expertly executed.

Recently moved to WS and Mission was 1st on my list. Had family visiting and was so happy to have the mission experience with them. We tried the 4 course pre fixe. Light fresh salad followed by a slightly spicy shrimp and polenta course. Great progression to the pizza and past courses. The Pizza! Light years away from the greasy, crispy New York pizza I grew up on, the pillowy dough was heavenly. Stellar food, attentive service and moody decor made for a special evening
