Staff refused to comment, but will announce a new name later this month.
Online, their brand has changed to Frank.
Customer Yevhen, 38, said: “This is a great local place. It isn’t political.
“But it’s not a good time to be called Trump in Ukraine.”
He said Trump was “singing Putin’s tune.”
The IT manager added: “Everyone wants peace here. We are tired of war, we want it to end.
“But we also understand that what Trump is proposing, what Trump is doing, will mean a victory for Russia and defeat for Ukraine.
“We want Ukraine to survive.”
The pizzeria still offers a “Trumpino” option with ham, mushrooms and artichokes.
Trump sparked anger last week by condoning Putin’s bloodbath airstrikes as “what anybody else would do”.
