Jim Fox started working with pizza when he was 12, hanging around a local pizza shop filling soda machines and folding pizza boxes. In 1971, at age 24, he started Fox's Pizza Den in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania. With $500, a rented storeroom and a few pieces of used equipment (rescued from a snow-covered Pittsburgh scrap yard), he began to build his empire. In 1973, Fox's Pizza Den started offering home delivery. Since 1974, the company has grown to over 150 franchises. Fox's Pizza is a family-owned and -operated company that offers toppings such as pepperoni, sweet peppers, hot banana peppers, beef, bacon, anchovies, black olives, pineapple and more. Fox's also offers stromboli, gourmet pizzas, hoagies and wedgies (a sandwich served on pizza crust). Jim Fox assisted with Carnegie Mellon University's robotic team in developing the country's first pizza-making robot to help the physically disabled own and operate their own shops.
When Scott and Ally Svenson founded MOD Pizza in 2008, they knew the
last thing the world needed was another pizza place. In their hometown
of Seattle, they imagined a new way for people to enjoy pizza, by
bringing speed, individual style and value to one of America’s favorite
foods. But the real secret sauce wouldn’t be the product, it would be
the people who serve our communities - the MOD Squad. By taking care of
employees, they would take care of the customers, and the business would
take care of itself. It’s how we’ve built a culture of opportunity,
belonging and community since 2008, and it’s catching on
wholeheartedly.
If you’re in a State where MOD exists, chances are we already have a comprehensive plan to grow that entire state. If you’re in a state without a MOD, and you’d like to learn more, we’d love to hear from you. We’ll get back in touch as soon as possible, normally within a few days.
