About Mod Pizza —
Built on Boldness
Mod Pizza is the original customizable mod pizza experience in the United States. From day one, we've been driven by a simple belief: great pizza starts with great ingredients, real choice, and genuine passion. Discover the mods pizza story that started it all.
Pizza Craft
Our Origin
The Mod Pizza Story
It started with a belief that pizza should be personal. When our founders Scott and Ally Svenson opened the first mod pizza location in Seattle in 2008, they wanted to give every customer the freedom to create exactly what they craved — on their own terms, at one single price.
The concept — mods pizza built your way — resonated with people across the United States. Today, modpizza stands for more than customizable pies. It's about community, bold flavors, and a team of Squad members who love what they do.
- Hand-crafted dough made fresh daily in every location
- Over 30 premium toppings — unlimited combinations
- One flat price, no matter how many toppings you choose
- Community-first culture — Squad members come first
- Sustainable sourcing and eco-friendly packaging
What We Stand For
Our Mission & Core Values
Every pizza we make is guided by these principles. From the ingredients we source to the people we hire — everything connects back to our mission.
People First
We believe our Squad members are our greatest asset. When we invest in our people, they invest in every pizza they make — and every customer they serve.
Fresh Ingredients
No shortcuts. No frozen shortcuts. Our dough is made fresh daily, our vegetables are prepped in-house, and our sauces are crafted from real tomatoes — always.
Community Impact
Mod Pizza gives back. Through our Community Love program, we donate a portion of every order to local charities — because feeding people means more than filling stomachs.
Radical Customization
Your pizza, your rules. Choose your crust, sauce, cheese, and pile on as many toppings as you want — all for one fair price. That's the modpizza way.
Sustainability
We're committed to reducing our footprint. From eco-friendly packaging to responsible sourcing, we're making sure future generations can enjoy great pizza too.
Bold Flavor Always
We never compromise on taste. From our signature red sauce to our garlic oil base, every element is designed to deliver maximum flavor in every single bite.
