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.

Inside the Mod Pizza restaurant — fresh ingredients and welcoming atmosphere

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.

Community

We actively support the neighborhoods we serve — through local partnerships, charitable giving, and creating jobs that matter.

Life's too short for boring pizza. We celebrate creativity, bold combinations, and the courage to make your pizza exactly how you want it.
