Since 2008
Crafting pizzas with love
How Mod Pizza Came to Life
It all started in 2008 when founders Scott and Ally Svenson opened the first Mod Pizza in Seattle with a simple but powerful idea: let every guest build exactly the pizza they want, at one flat price, in minutes. The concept was radical for its time — and customers loved it.
The name "Mod" is short for "modern" — reflecting a fresh, inclusive approach to food and people. From day one, mod pizza has been built on the belief that when you take care of your team, your team takes care of your guests.
Today, Mod Pizza has grown to hundreds of locations across the United States and beyond, serving millions of custom pizzas crafted with premium, freshly prepared ingredients and baked in a blazing-hot oven in minutes.
