What it is: Chunky, slow-fermented Detroit-style squares that rise fluffy in resistance to Phuket’s Neapolitan pizza dominance.
Why do we love it: With a playful, blue-and-red robot decor that feels straight out of an anime fever dream, MODO corners the market for soft, doughy treats in Phuket. Its signature squidgy, cake-like square pastries fill a niche that is otherwise underrepresented on the island. Baked in steel pans at their sole Phuket Old Town location, these thick-crust beauties bring serious comfort-food satisfaction with a nicely caramelised edge and soft interior. Their marinara sauce also deserves special mention, best enjoyed with classic pepperoni for some hard-hitting nostalgic notes. Meat lovers can dine on supreme, loaded with toppings that satisfy more serious appetites.
Time Out tip: MODO pizzas are deceptively filling beasts. Bring your friends to tackle a full tray and sample multiple flavours as these squares can humble even the hungriest of solo diners.
