Our Story

Born from a passion for authentic flavors and individual expression, Mod Pizza has been revolutionizing fast-casual dining since our founding. We believe every pizza should be as unique as the person who orders it.

Our Mission

"To serve up individual artisan-style pizzas and salads for people with individual tastes. We're not fast food, we're individual food served fast."

The Mod Pizza Journey

What started as a simple idea – to create individual artisan-style pizzas served fast – has grown into a movement that celebrates uniqueness and quality. Our founders believed that fast food didn't have to mean compromising on flavor or individuality.

From our first location, we've maintained our commitment to fresh ingredients, made-to-order pizzas, and creating a welcoming environment where every customer feels valued and every pizza tells a story.

Today, we continue to honor that original vision while constantly innovating to serve our communities better. Every Mod Pizza location is a testament to our belief that good food brings people together.

Our Values

The principles that guide everything we do

Individual Expression

We celebrate what makes you unique. Every pizza is crafted to your personal taste, because individuality should be celebrated, not standardized.

Fresh Ingredients

Quality starts with ingredients. We source fresh, high-quality ingredients and prepare everything daily to ensure every bite delivers exceptional flavor.

Community Focus

We're more than a restaurant – we're part of the community. We believe in giving back and creating connections that extend beyond our dining rooms.

Speed & Service

Fast doesn't mean rushed. We've perfected the art of quick service without compromising quality, because your time is valuable.
