Our Story
About Mod Pizza
The mod pizza movement started with a simple belief: everyone deserves a fresh, made-to-order pizza crafted their way — right here in the United States.

Our Origin
The Mod Pizza Story Begins
Mod Pizza was born from a deeply personal vision: to bring people together over fresh, customizable pizzas made with real ingredients. Founded in 2008 in the heart of the United States, our founders believed that fast food didn't have to mean compromising on quality or creativity.
The original mods pizza concept was revolutionary — every customer could walk in, choose from over 30 fresh toppings, and watch their personalized pizza bake in just minutes. The modpizza experience was unlike anything available at the time, combining speed with genuine craftsmanship.
"We wanted to create a place where every single pizza tells a unique story — yours."

Your pizza, your way — always. No upcharges for extra toppings. We built the modpizza model around your freedom to create the perfect pie.
