Our Story
How Mod Pizza Began
Mod Pizza was born from a simple yet passionate belief: that everyone deserves a truly great pizza, made exactly the way they want it. Founded in the heart of Los Angeles, we started as a small neighborhood spot with a big vision — to redefine what mod pizza means to people in the United States.
From the very first day, we committed to sourcing the freshest local ingredients, hand-stretching every dough, and letting our customers be the creative directors of their own meal. The response was overwhelming and humbling — and it fueled everything that came next.
