We Are Mod Pizza

Born in Tucson with a passion for bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and the belief that pizza should be as unique as the person eating it.

Our Story

From a Single Kitchen to a Community Icon

It all started in a small kitchen in Tucson, Arizona — where founders Scott and Ally Svenson had one simple dream: serve seriously good pizza that was made fast, made fresh, and made exactly the way you wanted it.

We believed in the power of a good meal to bring people together. From day one, every pizza we've crafted has been built with hand-stretched dough, premium-quality sauces, and a carefully curated selection of toppings — because great pizza starts with great ingredients.

Fresh, quality ingredients — sourced thoughtfully, never compromised.
Made with care — every pizza is crafted to order, always.
Community-driven — we invest in our people, our neighborhoods, and our city.
Relentlessly improving — we never stop raising the bar for taste and experience.
