Who We Are
More Than Just
More Than Just
Great Pizza
Mod Pizza started in 2014 with a simple idea: let people build their own perfect pizza at an honest price. Founded by two food-loving Angelenos who believed in the power of fresh ingredients and personal expression, we set up shop on Venice Blvd. and never looked back.
Our handcrafted approach means every pie is assembled right in front of you, loaded with whatever you love, and fired in our stone deck oven in just minutes. There are no rules here — pile it on, mix flavors, go vegan, go classic. This is your pizza.
Over the years we've served tens of thousands of pizzas and built a community of regulars who feel like family. That relationship — between us, our team, and our guests — is what drives everything we do.

What Drives Us
Our Mission & Core Pillars
Every pizza we make is guided by three commitments — to our guests, to our team, and to our community.
Craft Over Convenience
We believe the best pizza takes intention. From hand-stretched dough made fresh daily to toppings sourced from trusted local suppliers, we never cut corners to cut costs.
People First, Always
Our team isn't just staff — they're the heart of Mod Pizza. We invest in fair wages, flexible schedules, and growth opportunities because we know that happy employees make for happy guests.
Rooted in Community
Venice Blvd. isn't just our address — it's our home. We partner with local farms, support neighborhood events, and donate meals to families in need every month.
What We Stand For
The Values Behind
The Values Behind
Every Slice
01
Radical Freshness
We prep our dough, sauces, and toppings daily. If it isn't fresh, it doesn't go on your pizza. Full stop.
02
Genuine Hospitality
We greet every guest like a regular — warm, unhurried, and genuinely interested in making their visit memorable.
03
Inclusive by Design
Great pizza should be accessible to everyone. We proudly offer vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-sensitive options on every visit.
04
Relentless Improvement
We taste, tweak, and refine constantly. Every season brings new ingredients, and every guest review shapes how we grow.
