The Mod Pizza Journey Begins

Born from a love of authentic flavors and bold creativity.

Mod Pizza was founded with one simple belief: everyone deserves a pizza made exactly how they want it. Starting from a passionate kitchen in the heart of Tucson, Arizona, our founders set out to create a mod pizza experience unlike anything the United States had seen before.

We believe that mods pizza — pizza with a personal touch — is more than just food. It's a statement of individuality, a celebration of creativity, and a way to bring communities together. From our hand-stretched doughs to our locally sourced toppings, every detail is crafted with care.

Today, Mod Pizza proudly serves hundreds of thousands of customers across the United States, carrying forward the same passion that sparked our very first pizza oven.

Our Mission & Vision

At modpizza, we exist to fuel creativity, champion individuality, and serve outstanding food that people are proud to share.

Made with Passion

Every pizza at Mod Pizza is crafted with genuine care, from the hand-kneaded dough to the final drizzle of olive oil.
