About Mod Pizza
Discover the passion, people, and purpose behind the mod pizza experience that's been bringing bold flavors to communities across the United States.
How Mod Pizza Began
Mod Pizza was born out of a simple but powerful idea: every person deserves a pizza made exactly the way they want it. Founded in Seattle in 2008 by Scott and Ally Svenson, mod pizza set out to reimagine the fast-casual dining experience — putting creative freedom and community at the heart of everything we do.
From our very first location, we embraced the "one size, one price" model — meaning you can pile on as many toppings as you'd like without watching the cost climb. This bold, customer-first philosophy quickly resonated with pizza lovers across the United States, fueling rapid growth and a fiercely loyal following.
"We're not just selling pizza — we're creating a space where people feel seen, valued, and a little bit rebellious with their toppings."
Today, with hundreds of locations spanning the nation, mods pizza continues to be a beacon for those who believe that great food should be personal, affordable, and made with genuine care. Our kitchens are fueled by fresh ingredients, and our teams are driven by a passion for people — both the guests we serve and the communities we call home.
Our mission at modpizza is to create a place that not only serves extraordinary food but also builds extraordinary lives — for our squad, our guests, and the communities where we operate.
