About Mod Pizza
Discover the passion, people, and purpose behind mod pizza — crafted fresh for every guest, every time, right here in the United States.
The Story Behind Mod Pizza
Mod Pizza was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves a pizza made exactly the way they want it. Founded over a decade ago in the heart of Gilbert, Arizona, we set out to reimagine what a pizza restaurant could be — a place where fresh ingredients meet bold creativity, and every guest is treated like family.
From our first location on Santan Village Pkwy, mod pizza quickly became a neighborhood staple. We source the freshest produce, the finest cheeses, and premium proteins daily. Our dough is hand-stretched to order, and every pizza is fired at 800°F for that perfect crispy-yet-tender crust our fans love.
Today, thousands of guests visit Mod Pizza each week, drawn by the same spirit that started it all: great food, warm hospitality, and a commitment to community that never wavers.
- Fresh dough made in-house every morning
- 30+ premium toppings for total customization
- Fired in 3 minutes at 800°F for perfect results
- Community-first values rooted in Gilbert, AZ
