Our Story

Born From a Love
of Real Pizza

Mod Pizza was founded on a simple but powerful idea: every person deserves a pizza that's truly their own. We started in Carbondale, Illinois with one kitchen, one oven, and an unshakeable belief that great food should never be one-size-fits-all.

The mod pizza experience we created was different from day one — you choose the crust, the sauce, the toppings, all piled high for one incredible price. No compromise, no limitations, just pure pizza freedom for every customer who walks through our doors.

What started as a single location in United States quickly grew into a beloved community staple. Our mods pizza philosophy — making food personal — resonated with everyone from students to families to food lovers of every kind.

What Drives Us

Our Mission & Purpose

The modpizza way is rooted in community, quality, and the belief that food made with care always tastes better.

Made With Passion

Every pizza we make is a labor of love. Our team pours their heart into each order, ensuring the ingredients are fresh, the flavors bold, and the result something you'll genuinely look forward to eating again and again.

Fresh Ingredients

We source responsibly and think locally whenever possible. From our house-made dough to our hand-cut vegetables, fresh quality ingredients are non-negotiable at Mod Pizza — they're the foundation of everything we serve.

Community First

We're more than a restaurant — we're a gathering place. Mod Pizza is proud to be woven into the fabric of Carbondale and United States, supporting local events, schools, and the neighbors who make our community vibrant.

Your Way, Always

Customization is at the core of what makes the mod pizza experience unique. We believe food should flex to fit you — your tastes, your dietary needs, your cravings — never the other way around.

Speed & Quality

We never force you to choose between fast and good. Our streamlined process means your custom pizza moves from countertop to oven to your hands in minutes, without sacrificing an ounce of quality.

Sustainability

We're committed to reducing our footprint. From eco-friendly packaging to mindful sourcing, Mod Pizza takes meaningful steps to serve our planet just as well as we serve our customers — one pizza at a time.
