About Mod Pizza
We're more than just a mod pizza restaurant — we're a community built on fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and real people who care about every single pizza we make.
How It All Began
The mod pizza Story
Mod Pizza was born from a simple but powerful idea: everyone deserves a pizza made exactly the way they want it — with real, fresh ingredients, unlimited toppings, and one honest price.
Founded in Reston, Virginia, Mod Pizza started as a neighborhood pizza spot with a mission to put people first — customers and employees alike. What began as a single location quickly became a beloved modpizza experience across the United States, driven by word-of-mouth from guests who couldn't stop raving about the food and the welcoming atmosphere.
"We believed that if you take care of your people, your people will take care of your guests — and everything else follows."
Today, Mod Pizza serves communities across the United States with the same commitment to quality, inclusivity, and flavor that defined us from the very beginning. Every pizza is handcrafted to order, baked fresh in our artisan ovens, and served with a smile.
Our Mission
Pizza Made for Every Person, Every Craving
At Mod Pizza, our mission is to create an environment where people can be themselves — guests and team members alike. We serve mods pizza that's fast, fresh, and fully customizable because we believe food should adapt to you, not the other way around. We're committed to sourcing quality ingredients, reducing our environmental impact, and building communities one pizza at a time.
