About Mod Pizza
We're on a mission to bring the best mod pizza experience to every table — freshly crafted, endlessly customizable, and made with real heart in Downers Grove, Illinois.
The Story Behind Mod Pizza
Mod Pizza was born from one simple belief: great pizza should be fast, fresh, and entirely yours.
What started as a neighborhood dream in Downers Grove, IL, has grown into a community-loved destination for mod pizza fans across the United States. We believed the best meal is the one you designed yourself — with toppings you love, sauces you crave, and a crust that's just right.
"Pizza is personal. That's why at Mod Pizza, we never tell you what to put on yours — we just make sure every ingredient is worth choosing."
From day one, modpizza has been built around people — our guests, our team, and our neighbors. Every pizza that leaves our kitchen carries the same commitment to quality and craft that started this whole journey. Whether you're a longtime regular or trying mods pizza for the first time, you're always welcome at our table.

Mission, Vision & Core Values
Everything we do starts with these four principles — they guide every pizza we make and every interaction we have.

The Mod Pizza Timeline
From a single oven to a community staple — here's how modpizza grew into what it is today.
Our founders opened the very first Mod Pizza location in Downers Grove with one brick oven, twelve toppings, and an unshakeable belief that pizza should be personal.
After earning a loyal local following, we expanded our topping bar to 30+ options and launched our signature "Build Your Own" system — the one mods pizza fans know and love.
Recognized as "Best Pizza in Downers Grove" by local critics two years running. We introduced gluten-conscious crusts and a full vegetarian menu in response to our growing guest community.
Launched our online ordering system and delivery service, making mod pizza available to every corner of Downers Grove and surrounding neighborhoods with just a few clicks.
Over 50,000 pizzas served and counting. Mod Pizza continues to grow — same heart, same quality, new ways to reach the people who love us. Thank you for being part of the story.
