At first glance, I was stunned at how many toppings were available and how they charged a flat fee for each size pizza regardless of how many toppings chosen.
Upon pickup, I noticed how many sauces they offered, free of charge. If you don't know, sauces, when combined in different ways, can make the world go round. Balsamic and honey anyone? Buffalo and BBQ was a favorite of a worker that handed me my pizzas. Needless to say, I had to give it a try and surprise... it was also a winning combination of their sauces. Request for sauces on the side to prevent the pizza from getting soggy for to go orders.
Their pizzas were amazingly fresh, with delicious, thin crust dough that was perfect in texture - light, chewy, and fluffy. I ordered their equivalent to BBQ Chicken- Caspian (with pickled onions and roasted garlic added), a BYO Hawaiian style pizza (ham, pineapple, onions, olives), their cheesy bread (dough, cheese, dried rosemary), and a BYO vegetarian pizza that I topped with all available veggies except for jalapenos.
The veggie pizza was sooooo good. It surprised me because it looked like it was going to taste like a plain salad. Boy was I wrong. The Caspian and Hawaiian were equally satisfying. The only selection I wasn't too excited about was their cheesy bread (it's a favorite with their regulars), which I felt was good, but a little heavy on the cheese. I did forget to ask for marinara sauce, so next time, I'll give it a second chance (light cheese next time along with some parmesan added).
These pizzas were so satisfying, esp. dipped in their sauces (veggie in ranch; veggie in balsamic and honey; Caspian in ranch and Buffalo BBQ). I had a mad scientist moment with my food, and it was so much fun.
With good food, must come good drinks. They had that covered. Their drink case was loaded with different selections, including a favorite - San Pellegrino (carbonated fruit juices). I also found beer on tap and additional fountain drinks on top of the usual.
Service was outstanding. The workers that served me were down to earth and downright friendly.
To my surprise, I found out that this company not only churns out great pizzas, it is also making a lasting impact in many communities around America. Mod Pizza is all about second chances, hiring those who have disabilities, who've been out of the work force, those (like mothers) who need a more flexible schedule, and who've gotten into a little trouble in the past.
Another goal of theirs is to provide delicious high quality food at an affordable price.
I am digging this restaurant and its mission and I know now the meaning behind its name. Just when I thought the ordinary pizza chain restaurant couldn't get any better, Mod comes along and proves me wrong. You must try them out.
P.S. Do you see that No Name Cake at checkout? They didn't name it because there was no name good enough for it. If you test it out, let me know what you think.
