With 20+ years in professional kitchens across Italy and the American Southwest, Marco brings world-class technique to every pie. His philosophy: great pizza starts with great people.
Mod Pizza was born in 2012 when our founders, lifelong food lovers with deep roots in Mesa, Arizona, couldn't find a pizza place that let them truly customize their order without compromise. So they built one.
Starting with a single oven and a handful of the freshest local ingredients they could source, the team crafted a concept around one simple idea: your pizza, your way, made with real ingredients and real care.
What began as a neighborhood favorite quickly grew into a beloved institution. Today, Mod Pizza serves thousands of customers weekly, maintaining the same commitment to freshness, customization, and community that defined us from day one.
Everything we do revolves around three core pillars that have guided Mod Pizza since our very first pizza came out of the oven.
We source only the finest, freshest ingredients — from vine-ripened tomatoes for our signature sauce to hand-sliced toppings prepared daily. No shortcuts, no compromises, ever.
We're more than a pizza place — we're a neighbor. From supporting local schools to partnering with Mesa businesses, giving back to our community is baked into our DNA.
We believe the perfect pizza is the one you design. With unlimited topping combinations, custom sauces, and crust choices, every order is a personal masterpiece.
Our values aren't just words on a wall — they're the daily practices that shape every decision, every pizza, and every interaction we have.
We genuinely love what we do. Every pizza that leaves our kitchen carries the passion and pride of our entire team.
We're transparent about what goes into our food. No artificial preservatives, no mystery ingredients — just honest, real food.
From eco-friendly packaging to supporting local farms, we're committed to running a business that's good for the planet, not just the plate.
We measure success by the smiles of our customers. Creating moments of joy through great food is what gets us up every morning.
From humble beginnings to becoming Mesa's most-loved pizza destination — here's how we got here.
Mod Pizza opens its doors at our original Mesa location. With just 5 staff members, a wood-fired oven, and a dream, we serve our first 200 pizzas in a single weekend.
Just two years in, the Mesa Tribune names Mod Pizza the "Best Pizza in Mesa." The recognition brings a flood of new customers and validates everything we've worked for.
We launch our digital ordering platform, making it easier than ever for customers to customize and order their perfect pizza from anywhere in Mesa and the surrounding areas.
We move to our larger, current location at Signal Butte and introduce 15 new topping options, gluten-free crusts, and our signature garlic butter drizzle that customers love.
Celebrating a decade of pizza-making, we launch the Mod Community Fund — pledging 1% of all annual profits to local Mesa schools and youth programs.
With over 50,000 customers served and franchise inquiries growing, Mod Pizza continues to evolve — launching catering, delivery partnerships, and exploring new ways to bring great pizza to more people.
Our team brings together decades of culinary passion, hospitality expertise, and a shared obsession with making the perfect pizza.
