About us

The Mo's Pizza story weaves together a million experiences over the past 40 years, and begins in a KFC with a cherry-red roof and an idea. The original Mo founded Mo's Pizza in 1979, before Briarcliff Road knew the bustle that it does today. Enter Kevin Wright, who set out from Chicago to Atlanta in the early 80's with the faith and support of his family, and an entrepreneurial spirit. As serendipity would have it, Mo was looking to move on from the restaurant business in 1986, and Kevin was ready to invest in himself and his vision. Fast forward to 2022, when Kevin decided it was time to move on to new adventures and made the choice to sell his beloved restaurant to his daughter and son-in-law, who are committed to preserving the legacy of the neighborhood pizzeria, while looking towards the future. The space under our red roof holds the history of so many people who are, or once were, part of the Atlanta community. We have celebrated first dates, weddings, and birthdays; cheered on teams of every nature, hosted those meeting for a common interest, gathered to connect; we've grieved losses, toasted loved ones, and reflected on our shared history together. As our community grows, we grow alongside. We do our best to express our gratitude and care through our food and service.
