Went in at 5 o'clock on a week night- We were sat right away and had our servers attention right away too. The place smells so good like fresh dough and pizza. I had the 10" pizza with black olive and my partner had a meatball sandwich. Both were great. I think the server forgot to bring us some sort of starting bread because it was brought at the same time as the meals. Oh well it was good. The employees seem so happy there and you could tell everyone gets along great. They all deserve a raise ! Thanks read more

Modo Mio Italian Kitchen - Meatball & Mozzarella Sub - Pizza Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Stood at entrance for over 5 minutes waiting for someone to greet me and assign me a table, I finally went to cash register/pick up area and asked the nice young lady what was the procedure for checking in and she immediately seated me. The young waitress (Alexa) that waited on me was very pleasant and accommodating. Now that I know the process, things will flow more easily, checking in! They do have gluten free pasta (penne or ravioli) & pizza available. The Buffalo Trace Old Fashion with Demerara Sugar and Bitters was perfectly balanced-yummy Meatball Sub with Mozzarella and crispy fries, Excellent Combination. Great pricing at HH: Tues-Thurs & Sunday 3:00-5:45. Suggestion to management, get these associates a bus boy, it takes away from them waiting and servicing their customers. I will be back! read more

Ohhhh my God... I didn't just eat pizza--I committed a full-blown act of gluttony at Modo Mio Italian Kitchen up on Happy Valley and Lake Pleasant. Joey's Spicy Meatball Pizza? Listen to me carefully... this pie is f***ing criminal. I'm talkin' "should require a permit to serve this kinda heat" level. Soon as I opened the box, I knew I was in trouble. This thing looked like it got flown in first class straight outta Naples--perfect crust, bubbles, char, everything dialed in like somebody's Nonna was in the back yellin' at people to get it right. And me? I got no discipline. None. I folded that slice like a true degenerate and took a bite so big I damn near dislocated my jaw. Instant chaos. ricotta, meatballs, basil, sauce, pepper flakes--BOOM. Flavor hit me like a Ferrari. Next thing I know, I'm four slices deep, sittin' there in silence, just noddin' to myself like, "Yeah... this is how I go out." Absolute gavone behavior. The spice from the red chili flakes? Perfect. Not cute, not polite--just enough to let you know who's in charge. The basil? Fresh as hell, jumpin' in like it's got somethin' to prove. The whole pie was just... disrespectful. And of course I paired it with a couple...alright, three--glasses of red wine like I'm some kinda classy piece of s***. Didn't help. Just made me eat slower so I could suffer longer. Am I goin' back? Are you outta your mind? I'm practically movin' in. At this point, I'm about to work my way through that entire menu like it's a personal mission. Linguine and Clams--you're next. Bottom line--if you're still eatin' mid pizza in this area, that's on you. Get yourself to Modo Mio Italian Kitchen and fix your life. read more

A very nice experience overall! Quick service and a friendly demeanor, our waitress was fantastic at timing when to check in on us, and making some suggestions for our first visit. We decided to go with the Caprese as an appetizer, and then ordered the Chicken Parm / Bianca Pizza for our entrees. Everything was fantastic, came out hot and delicious. Definitely a place we'd recommend, and will be dining at again. read more

This place is a hidden gem The service is AWESOME!! Niki is so sweet and personable. She is on top of things and ensures the table is taken care of. The owner, is just as nice and personable sharing the story of how he opened up this restaurant. They are evolving and look forward to see what they do next. The food is flavorful and the ambience is very mellow and relaxed. The pizza was amazing. Really tasty. Loved the crust. The sangria was decent. The tables are a good distance and you don't feel crammed. The noise level is low so you aren't having to yell across the table. We will definitely be back. read more

Our second experience with this restaurant, our first time was for takeout (see my other review) and this one was eat in. One step inside and the wonderful smell of an Italian restaurant immediately tells you this is a great place We had their newest addition to the pizza choices, a capricciosa that reminded us of one we often had at Bottega Pizzeria before it closed and we loved it. One extra nice touch is having multiple sizes of pizzas, we had the 10", great for 2 people. We highly recommend this place read more

Genuinely don't read any other review, this pizza place is thee pizza place of my dreams. It's quite literally Top 5 wings I've ever had in my life. Yummy Italian sodas and really good deals on pizza. You HAVE TO GO HERE! You probably won't want any other wings maybe ever but other than that, it's a great experience! read more

I was very impressed with this little Italian kitchen!! I ordered Chicken Parmesan, garlic bread and a key lime cannoli to go. The chicken was moist and very flavorful. It came with three large pieces! I got the Crema Rosa sauce which was good but not enough on the pasta for my preference. It was hard to truly taste it. The garlic bread was fantastic!! The cannoli was exceptional! Portions are large and the service is outstanding!! Currently you order at the counter but they are working toward full service. The place is clean and I'm absolutely going back again and again!! read more

Been to Modo Mio three times -once during original opening about two years ago, second last week with the Corte Bella Romeo Men's Lunch Group, and third tonight for Valentine Dinner via carry out. The current owners have made significant improvements in food and menu variety. Our Romeos group had primarily the lunch pasta combo including lasagna. We all agreed the food was good. Our server did a super job with nine guys. My wife and I had a carry out dinner with Caesar Salad (anchovies added), Chicken Piccata/Lasagna, and Limencello Cake /Cheese Cake. Have to mention that the garlic bread is delicious. Garlic puffs are also good. Desserts were delightful. Order was ready on time. Nothing missing. I know the new owners are planning some changes. A little dimming and changes in the layout of the tables would do wonders. read more

This place was more of a diner. We tried Italian wedding soup, I would not recommend it. It was gross and there was a bunch of floating pieces in it and some sad looking basil on top. We got a sandwich it was good but very salty. We also got a pasta and it was bland not seasoned much. read more

This weekend we were all wanting something a bit different and trying to decide where we'd all be happy. Half my family always wants pizza and I'm just over it, but when I came across Modo Mio I knew there would be plenty of things to choose from. When we cloaked in it was empty. We were in between late lunch and start of dinner. Instantly we were told by a girl at the counter they don't do table service for lunch so we had to order at the counter. They do bring you the food etc though once ordered No big deal we sat with the menus as we decided. My husband and I always go back and forth about trying a meatball sub places, but I'm always on the fence as they just don't look or sound good to me. Today though after looking over fellow reviewers I kept seeing theirs over and over. To me that tells me it's going to be good. I ordered it off their lunch special with a side salad. We agreed if awful he'd split his personal pizza with me and eat the other half ha ha . Deal. We also ordered another personal pizza and more wings off the lunch special for my daughter. Well, too bad for my husband because I ate that entire meatball sub lol. The bread was toasted and a bit crispy, good sauce to meat ratio and cheese ooey and gooey. My side salad was fresh and I was glad my dressing came on the side so I could add as little or much as I wanted. Prices were fair for the lunch specials, Service was ok, but I'd of liked if they'd been a bit more friendly at walk in instead of the instant ...dining in, no table service comment.... Just a little better on how the tone came out, but that's my opinion. The location was clean. The vibe gave off more fast food but a little more upscale than fancy Italian . Parking was easy in and out. We'd go again. Maybe for dinner., read more

Had a family dinner here yesterday and what a treat! As always, Modo Mio staff went above and beyond for our party of eight. I had the Carbonara - the best! A comfortable space filled to the brim on a Saturday night. The food is always great: fresh, authentic, and plenty to choose from. Best Italian in Peoria! read more

Tried the pizza here for first time!! Sausage and red onion, excellent try blend of crust sauce and toppings!! A busy corner with 5 pizza places looking at one another !! Don't pass this one by!! Next time I'll eat in and have pasta!! read more

We came back! We had the meatball sub & ravioli lunch specials. I loved the lunch specials price, service & affordability. They have the TV's on with some upbeat music. This is truly becoming my favorite Italian food place. I tried their lemon dressing on my salad - homemade & amazing. Check this place out read more

Amazing chicken parm. Great sauce. Friendly service. Went with friends ~ a Amazing time! read more

Amazing!!!!! Go!!!! I am so glad there is something close that isn't a chain. Their garlic puffs are incredible with fresh garlic, their marinara is probably the best I've ever had. Their food is so delicious! Lasagna, pizza, everything. Their Cannolis are different every month. White raspberry had been my personal favorite but this month's peanut butter is exceptional. You won't be disappointed. Go, Go, Go!!! read more

This pizza and sandwich shop came up on my Google maps search of local restaurants in my area and had 7 reviews, all five star. The restaurant was called Modo Mio Italian Kitchen, at the location of 1 Brother's Pizza in Peoria. I believe the spot was recently taken over and is under new ownership. Renovations and remodeling will be happening in the next few months, according to signs posted around the restaurant. I suggested an edit on Yelp to update the name. When we walked in and looked up at the wall menu, a customer who was at the register smiled and mentioned to us that the spot had really good pizza. I look forward to trying the pizza, but today we were in the mood for some wings and sandwiches. We ordered: - Cherry Pomegranate Italian Cream Soda (server recommended the best way to blend this and get the syrup to the top is to blow bubbles. Very fun!) - Unsweetened Ice Tea - Garlic Puffs - their version of "garlic knots" House-made dough, roasted garlic, olive oil, herbs - Buffalo Chicken Wings with Ranch - Meatball & Mozzarella Sub - House-made meatballs, mozzarella, marinara sauce, basil, Italian roll - Chicken Milanese Panini- parmesan-crusted chicken, fontina cheese, Calabrian pepper aioli, tomato, arugula, parmesan, lemon-shallot vinaigreite, focaccia - Basil Pesto Spaghetti with Chicken - (walnuts, parmesan) Service is really great here. We ordered at the register and chose our spot. They have tables and booths. We were given a number and the food was brought to our table by the server and by the chef. The food is brought out quickly and was hot and delicious. We loved everything. My daughter really loved her pesto pasta, which is one of her favorite meals and they did it right. Hubs enjoyed the wings and his meatball sub. We were all very happy with the hot soft garlic & herb covered puffs in oil as a starter. The Chicken Milanese Panini was so flavorful. I couldn't get enough of the sauces and the two patties of breaded pounded chicken with the spicy arugula and fluffy soft focaccia bread. There's a men's and women's restroom at the back of the restaurant. This is located in a strip mall area near a dance studio, A Mountainside Fitness, and a Taco Bell. There's a large private lot for all of the businesses and plenty of parking. read more

We ordered the family tray. Not worth the price compared to another near by Italian restaurant. Only comes with pasta and choice of sauce. They were very sparing on the sauce. The other restaurant offers the pasta with meatballs plus salad, bread and cheese sticks. read more

We decided to try Modo Mio today and support a new local restaurant. The food was really good! Service was great and the food came out quickly. We had the hot honey pizza, cheese ravioli, Italian sausage sandwich and Italian wedding soup. Definitely recommend and will be back! read more

Everything is good but the hot honey pepperoni pizza is amazing. Just started trying their sandwiches with are pretty awesome also.

Everything was great. Excellent Calamari and Pizza. Staff was Customer friendly. Happy hour saved $3 off a glass of wine.

Hot honey pizza was really good. Crust was perfect and crisp. My son got fettuccini Alfredo and it looked homemade. My husband got pasta as well and they both said it was really good. Surprised this place wasn't busier on a Saturday! Hope it sticks around we will definitely be going back. read more

Modo Mio Italian Kitchen - Hot honey pizza - Pizza Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Awesome pizza. Hot honey pizza like you've never experienced before before. If your into cannolis there is a good variety

I am a Chicago native and an Italian food snob, it been a challenge to find good Italian food in AZ, there are some Italian deli's and they are fantastic. Modo Mia was a great surprise and am so happy we tried it. I stayed basic with Spaghetti and meatballs, and my wife had the veal special. Both were very good and reminded me of home. Give it a shot!! read more

We order from Modo Milo almost every week. They are consistently good with fresh ingredients and original Italian flavor. The only thing I hope they add is a gluten free pizza crust option! read more

We tried Modo Mio for the first time and really liked the food. Would recommend giving them a try.

Tried this place for the first time. Placed an online order for pick up knowing that it would be for a later time. Scheduled pick up time for 5:45 PM. Received a text message at 5:25 PM that my order was ready. So by the time I could pick up my order the cold things were warm and the hot things were warm. The cold Italian sandwich was put on top of hot fries which made everything soggy. Also, if you're charging $4 for fries, there should be more than eight. We were really wanting to find a good Italian place that is not a chain, but maybe this just isn't it. Might consider trying again if we could pick up ASAP, but definitely would not do a later scheduled pick up again. read more

Went there for lunch. When I asked the server, who was apparently the owner, for a DOCG wine he didn't seem to know what that meant. Tipped me off right away it was not authentic Italian but Americanized. Ordered the carbonera and a Margherita pizza with wings. The carbonera is first off, nowhere near authentic, but probably one of the worst pasta dishes we have ever tasted. The pizza had chopped up.. maybe Roma tomatoes on it? It was thick and too cheesy and didn't even have basil on it. Surprisingly the wings were good. I still would choose other places over Modo Mio for wings though (Crazy Mikes is our go to). Weird that an Italian restaurants only good item we ate was wings. Just another mediocre California chain. read more

Four of us went to Modo Mio tonight for dinner. The service was fantastic and the food was even better. There was a constant stream of customers. The portions were huge. Definitely get cannolis, they were fantastic! Thanks Joey for a great meal!!! read more

Good food for take out. I was surprised at how good! The garlic knots are a must too! Efficient service.

My kids love the lasagna and chicken parm. Easy, quick weeknight meal when you do pick up. Plenty for leftovers. Friendly and fast service.

Absolutely incredible! A client raved about their amazing dishes, and we couldn't resist trying it for ourselves. We decided to treat our family to a night out, and we are so glad we did! We started with garlic knots that were freaking awesome! The Milano pizza that was a perfect blend of flavors- loved the black mushrooms, followed by Chicken Alfred, Crema Rosa, and meat sauce spaghetti. Everything was so delicious!!! The owner came out and chatted with us a bit and wanted to know how everything went with our meal. He then brought out a complimentary Wagyu meatball for us to try. We will definitely be ordering this again. This restaurant may be a hidden gem tucked away off Happy Valley & Lake Pleasant Parkway at four corners, but it deserves all the recognition it can get. We are excited to share this treasure with our friends and clients because it truly deserves to be tried. We've found our new favorite Italian restaurant, and we can't wait to return. A+ all the way! read more

I want to say I love this place... the food was definitely scrumptious, but sadly, the ordering/pickup experience was so far from perfection (not even close!). We placed an online order at 5-something PM for a 7:30 pickup. We live about 15 mins away so my husband got there in time and went with our 5 year old daughter, thinking this would be a quick and easy pickup. Paid for in advance, had a set pickup time... easy, right? Nope! Him and our daughter waited approximately 45 minutes! They didn't end up leaving with our order until around 8:15 that night. Granted I wasn't there personally, my husband told me no one apologized, no one offered anything to him or our young kid while waiting... nada! Am I overreacting? You to decide, but on Saturday nights, my husband and I have "date night in" so we order and pickup food and the kids are in bed by 8pm.... Definitely didn't work out that way since our order wasn't done until 8:15 and then he had to drive home and we worked to get three kids settled for the night. Not sure we will be back, anytime soon any way. read more

Let me start by saying I am NOT a person who leaves a review but our experience last night was great. Walking up my husband asked a man leaving if it was good and he said "it's alright" which I immediately groaned. Most places now days just aren't what they used to be and eating out is already an arm and a leg these days. The man then said "but I'm biased since I'm the owner." So extra points for a man with a sense of humor! We ordered their XL pizza and 16 wing deal (which we were going to order separately but the employee immediately informed us of the deal to save a few bucks), garlic knots and drinks. The pizza was perfectly cooked with light/airy yet crispy crust. The wings we asked to be extra crispy and they were huge wings - AMAZING. My 8 year old devoured the garlic knots without breathing. I also ordered a glass of wine since it was happy hour ($3 off a glass) which came as a very "heavy pour." So for $5 I was happy. All the staff were SO friendly and welcoming even as we walked in at 8pm (they closed at 9pm). Can't say better things about our experience. We definitely will be back! read more
