Our Story

About Mod Pizza — Crafted With Passion

From a single kitchen in Los Angeles to a beloved mod pizza destination, we've been serving fast-fired artisan pies built around freshness, community, and bold flavor since day one.

10+ Years of crafting mod pizza

The mod pizza story starts with a simple idea

It all began with a conviction that pizza should be personal. Founders Scott and Ally Svenson opened the first Mod Pizza in Seattle in 2008, driven by a love of fast-fired, individually crafted pies made exactly the way each guest wants them — no compromises, no shortcuts.

As the concept of mods pizza grew, so did the community around it. Every location became a gathering place where people could customize their experience from crust to toppings. Our Los Angeles kitchen at 8985 Venice Blvd. carries that same spirit — bringing modpizza culture to one of the most food-forward cities in the world.

Today, every pizza we make is still fired in our high-heat oven in under three minutes, staying true to the original vision: fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and a dining experience that feels both fast and genuinely crafted.
