Our Story

Founded with a passion for authentic, artisan-style pizza, Mod Pizza began as a dream to bring fresh, customizable pizza to the heart of Portland. What started as a small vision has grown into a beloved local destination where every pizza tells a story.

We believe that great pizza starts with great ingredients. That's why we source only the finest local produce, premium meats, and authentic cheeses. Every dough is made fresh daily, and every pizza is crafted with care and attention to detail.

From our humble beginnings to becoming Portland's favorite pizza spot, we've never lost sight of what matters most: creating memorable experiences for our customers through exceptional food and outstanding service.
