The Mod Pizza Story

"mod pizza started with one simple belief: great pizza should be built for you, not for a crowd."

Founded in The Dalles, Oregon, Mod Pizza was born from a love of good food and a commitment to community. We saw a gap in the market — a place where guests could walk in, customize every topping, every sauce, every crust, and walk out with exactly the pizza they envisioned. No compromises, no upselling, just pure, made-for-you mod pizza.

What sets us apart isn't just our recipes. As part of the mods pizza movement, we believe the dining experience should be fast without feeling rushed, and personal without feeling complicated. From our first location to our growing footprint across the United States, that philosophy has never changed.

Today, the modpizza team continues to grow — but every pizza we make still carries the same care and craftsmanship of that very first pie. We source locally where we can, support the communities we serve, and never stop experimenting with new flavors.
