M&D Pizza & Burger is a family-run kitchen in Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, where you order wood-fired pizzas and beef burgers from a counter. The pizzas bake in a wood-fired oven — you can smell the dough crisping — with toppings like their Gheema pizza, a local favorite. Burgers use beef patties from nearby suppliers, served with chips. The menu also includes ribs, wings, and savories like samoosa and steak pie.

The place opened in 2010, named after the owners' three sons. It operates from a small storefront on Queens Drive, with most orders for takeaway. You can combine two pizza halves on one base, or try the masala steak pizza with peppers and cheese. Specials change weekly, posted on their Facebook page.

Tables are few; this is primarily a takeout spot. The kitchen closes when food runs out on weekends. They accommodate requests when ingredients are unavailable, swapping ribs for kebabs if needed. The phone rings often with orders — regulars know to call ahead.
