About Us
Nestled at 414 Broadway in Millbrae, CA, Modern Eats is more than just a pizzeria. It’s a living story of community, creativity, and resilience.
🍕 A Legacy Passed Forward
The restaurant began under a previous owner who, upon retiring, made a heartfelt decision: instead of closing the doors and letting go of the staff, he passed the restaurant on. That act of kindness set the stage for Isaac, who stepped in to lead, and Jeannie, who brought her culinary vision to life. Together, they honored the past while shaping a bold new future.
🍕 Cracker-Style Pizza with a Twist
At the heart of Modern Eats is its cracker-style thin crust pizza: crispy, light, and perfect for showcasing inventive toppings. But this isn’t just pizza as usual. Isaac and Jeannie thrive on experimentation, turning unexpected challenges into signature creations.
Take the French Onion Soup Pizza: born from an overstock of onions, it transformed into a beloved staple. What started as a quirky experiment became a symbol of Modern Eats’ philosophy... turning everyday moments into culinary magic.
🌍 Fusion Flavors & Growing Menu
True to its name, Modern Eats is constantly evolving. The menu stretches beyond pizzas and calzones, embracing fusion dishes that surprise and delight. Asian-inspired desserts and soft-serve ice cream round out the experience, giving guests a sweet finish that reflects the restaurant’s playful brand identity.
🐶 The Frenchie Brand
Community and personality shine through every detail, even the logo. Inspired by Frenchie, a friend’s French bulldog, the mascot embodies the warmth and friendliness of the restaurant. Frenchie isn’t just on the sign; he’s on merchandise like t-shirts, making the brand as lovable as the food.
👥 A Local Gathering Place
Modern Eats has quickly become a hub for locals. The owners’ friendliness and openness make every visit feel personal. Specials rotate weekly, keeping regulars excited for what’s next. And beyond the kitchen, Modern Eats participates in city events, weaving itself into the cultural fabric of Millbrae.
🌟 The Spirit of Modern Eats
Modern Eats is more than a restaurant, it’s a story of people who refused to let tradition fade, who embraced creativity, and who built a space where food and community thrive together. Every pizza, calzone, and dessert carries that spirit forward.
