A new pizza restaurant is slated to come to Carson City in late November or early December.
That’s the word from Melissa Negrillo, who co-owns Mofos Pizza with her brother, Justin Morrison.
Their family first opened a restaurant in Incline Village in 1986, and expanded to Reno in 2021, Negrillo said.
Their trademarks are high-quality food that is served in a family-friendly environment. Mofos makes everything from scratch, she said.
The family’s marinara recipe came from Negrillo’s and Morrison’s grandfather, Walter Morrison, a Lockheed P-38 pilot who obtained it from some Italian sheepherders after he was shot down in southern Italy during World War II.
