Persian-Style Pizza

Persian-Style Pizza

At Mocha Cafe & Pastry, this is the dish people talk about first: crisp crust, browned cheese, and the kind of flavor that reminds regulars of Tehran street pizza.

Catering for Every Occasion

Catering for Every Occasion

We bring something few cafés in the DMV do: fresh-made sandwiches and pizzas under one roof. Whatever your event calls for, we have crowd-pleasing options to serve your guests. It wouldn't be complete without our specialty coffee, sourced from Turkey and Ethiopia and brewed with care. Add it to any catering order to round out the spread. Please place your catering order at least 48 hours in advance so we can prepare everything fresh for your event.

What our guests are saying

The mixed special pizza was amazing. it instantly took me back to the days of getting pizza from Chaman Pizza in Niavaran, Tehran. The taste was exactly what we expect from a true traditional Persian pizza. If you’re craving authentic Persian-style pizza, this is definitely the go-to spot in the DMV area.
