We're passionate about crafting mod pizza with fresh, hand-picked ingredients and bold flavors — served your way, every time.
View Menu"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.

Everything we do at mods pizza is guided by three core principles that shape how we cook, serve, and grow.
To craft the most craveable mod pizza experience — one personalized slice at a time — using fresh ingredients that never compromise on quality or flavor.
To become the most beloved fast-casual pizza brand in the United States by empowering every customer to build their perfect pie — fast, fresh, and their way.
To nourish communities by creating a welcoming space where everyone — regardless of tastes or dietary needs — can find joy around a shared table.
Our core values aren't just words on a wall — they shape every decision we make, from ingredient sourcing to how we greet guests.
We source locally wherever possible and prep everything fresh daily — no frozen shortcuts.
We invest in the neighborhoods we serve through local partnerships and giving back programs.

Fast-casual doesn't mean rushed. We move quickly but never sacrifice the care that makes food great.
We minimize waste, use eco-friendly packaging, and are on a path toward carbon-neutral operations.
We're honest about what goes into our food and transparent about how we run our business.
Food should make people happy. We chase that feeling with every recipe we create or refine.
We never settle. Every process, recipe, and team member is constantly growing toward something better.
