About MOD Pizza

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.
