MOD Pizza

This place is pretty new and is where the old Fox and Hound used to be in Bloomingdale, next to Panera. It’s very similar to Pie 5 and Olive Theory. My biggest gripes with these places is there are 3 breaks in the flow during the ordering process. You have to wait to order your pizza, then wait again to add toppings, and again to pay. Obviously this depends on how busy it is, but this is a mild annoyance in general about these pizza quick service restaurants that have been recently been cropping up. I don’t really have a solution though.
Other than that, this place is great. The workers are all very friendly and attentive. They are quick to explain and answer any questions. You pick a style and size, then some toppings, and then wait for the pizza. I like the fact that all toppings cost the same. I guess they are banking on a lot of people getting cheese only. There are some preset options to give you some ideas. They have a Pepsi fountain machine with some various teas on the side.
It is a big warehouse type of space, which has a cool look to it. A decent number of seats. I’ve never seen it packed. The only real downside is that this shopping center in general is a terribly designed spot for cars to get out of. It’s right next to ChickFilA and I’m surprised there isn’t an accident every few minutes. There is almost always a lot of honking and finger pointing though.
Good stuff I’ll be back.

Iv’e been here twice and both times left very satisfied. The servers are very friendly and they take their time to talk you through the ordering. You can order a pizza with set toppings off the menu or you can build your own. Everything is put together before your eyes from the rolled out raw dough to the very last ingredient you add on top. They have a great variety of topping selections, although I’d be nice if they offered some turkey sausage or turkey meatball as well. The drink selection is nice as well. They have some house brewed flavored ice teas.
The atmosphere is nice. Spacious and clean. The bathrooms are all the way at the back of the restaurant and a little out of the way but that may not be a bad thing. I love that the ‘garbage’ has 3 options. trash/​recycle/​compost. Very nice MOD Pizza.

Seriously amazing pizza… Like chipotle for pizza. But waaaaay better… And its like for pizza. Im here right now drinking beer… Its also good beer. Its like a chipotle for beer.

This place is great! You can pick your own ingredients (no extra charge!) and they have gluten free crusts. After your pizza is cooked you have an option to add buffalo sauce or sirancha (siracha and ranch mixed together). I love this place-​highly recommended if you’re a pizza lover.

I was pleasantly surprised by this new chain. My boyfriend and I can never agree on a pizza, so this make your own option is perfect for us! I also love the fact that they don’t add random additional charges, you can have whatever ingredients you want and as much of them as you want! I was shocked by this!
You can get a pizza that easily feeds 1 or 2 people for about $ 8. I don’t get many toppings on my pizza and I still thought it was a great value. It doesn’t take long to make your pizza either!
The staff is very friendly! I will definitely be a return customer especially if I want a quick pizza and don’t want to wait for one to cook!

This place is fantastic. We go every week. Great pizza and whatever toppings you want for free. Manager Peter is out on the front lines with his employees making sure every single customer is happy. Get the pomegranate lemonade while you’re there.

They have 4 ice teas, and wine on tap.
Super suburban hip pizza spot. Its a cool concept. you can blame yourself if you didn’t like the pizza. The Mega size is actually just 2 doughs on top of one another. doesn’t really warrant the $ 12 price, but the Mod size is all ya need. This is my current favorite luch spot. see you in Bloomingdale, IL !

After coming here quite a few times and trying some of the competition, I’ve realized that this place is much better than I originally gave it credit for!
Soooo many choices, such as having chopped garlic to add at two points in the creation line. The spinach and arugula are very fresh looking. There are spices here, such as Rosemary, that really make a difference on your pizza. I don’t see that anywhere else!
They also have a few types of fresh iced tea and lemonade being made. Nice touch.
All in all, choice and vast selection is good here. Everything looks to be of good quality… the meats are even good quality. Also, you can choose between diced veggies or non diced! When I go to a competitor… the absence of these small things really makes the experience seem less. MOD is my fav out of them all so far!

Extremely friendly staff welcomed me as soon as I stepped through the door. At the counter they explained how Mod works, pick your size, pick your toppings, etc. looking at the uncooked pizza dough I thought I was getting a tortilla. I decided to go with the «kasey», the Seasonal Mod. It has olive oil, roasted Brussel sprouts, red onion, bacon, Gorgonzola and a fig glaze on top. I skipped the fig glaze and went with pesto drizzle. 8 minutes later my pizza was done!
First the crust is NOT a tortilla. It is an amazing thin crust dough. It is perfect for the pizza. The toppings were great quality and the pizza was delicious!!!
I like the option to either choose from their choice of classic pizzas or simply create your own. There are so many delicious toppings to choose from. I can’t wait to come back and have my own Mod.

It’s like a Chipotle for pizza — you can build your own pizza (priced by size but price remains the same regardless of how many toppings you choose) and it’s baked on the spot. I made a Hawaiian pizza that wasn’t as good as I was hoping, but my husband let me have a bite of one of their signature pizzas, the Lucy Sunshine, which was delicious! The combination of artichokes, garlic, and the MOD red sauce gave this pizza a spicy kick which I really enjoyed. I will be back to have one of my very own!

Neat concept however our 3 pizzas out of the over were not even luke warm. Has anyone heard of hot food???
Really bizarre since it was 45 seconds from oven to table.
Pizzas not cut thru so it was a sloppy mess.
Toppings not even toasted like eating raw veggies in barely toasted bread.
Prolly won’t do again. It’s a shame neat idea.

We were really excited to try MOD as it came highly recommended from friends who live out of town. We came around 430 on a Saturday (today actually) so it wasn’t too busy but the employees seemed really frazzled. Neither of our pizzas were made properly– we got the Lucy Sunshine and Calexico, both on their specialty list– and had to stand there and remind them what toppings and sauces came on each because they couldn’t see the board to see what toppings were supposed to be on them (I feel like these should be memorized, or put a cheat sheet out for the employees). We also ordered a salad– didn’t order the «mod salad» that comes with Asiago pizza crust but we were charged for it… So after the cashier realized that we ended up being given one. Thank goodness for her mistake because that was the best tasting part of our experience and all it consisted of was crust and asiago cheese.
All in all, the crust was average… Our pizzas were both a bit under cooked and soggy. The toppings were sparse and the red sauce wasn’t my favorite.
The soda machine was out of syrup for Coke Zero and Diet Coke.
I would give one star for effort and price (the employees were friendly and the price is a steal) and one star for the Asiago crust that came with the salad. Honestly, even two stars feels a little generous but I cut them some slack since they’ve only been open for a month.
Wouldn’t come back but it wasn’t so tragic that we would tell other people to stay away.

I really really wanted to love this place. I think whether or not you like it hinges on whether you like their crust. To me its unfortunately just ok.
I like the idea of build your own pizza, especially the speed in which they can crank your custom pie out. This place has a lot of potential but there is also room for improvement.
Pros:
Price is phenomenal. Around 8 dollars for an 11 inch.
Pizza is hot and ready in like 5 minutes.
Choose your own toppings.
Service is friendly and fast.
Cons:
Sauce is kinda bland and generic.
Crust is thin but still kinda gooey.
Cheese is bland too.
That’s just for the pizza.
The place itself is clean and new but the metal chairs and wooden benches are super hard and makes eating uncomfortable.
They have in-​house teas and lemonade. The caramelized pear tea is fastastic and the marionberry lemonade is also a delicious twist on lemonade.
I think I’ll have to come back to this place a few more times to get a better perspective but for now I gotta stick with 3 stars. Its ok, i’ve had better pizza.

Trying it out for the first time, so far I like what I see. Tons of topping choices & quick service. Caffateria style ordering plus u can grab a beer.
The pizza was fresh, ingredients were all top quality. Great spot for brick oven pizza in Bloomingdale is now here

I really like this place. It’s quirky, it’s unique. It’s affordable. I like it so much so, that the first week they were open I am pretty sure we went 3 times. You pick your crust (baby, regular or double crust) and then your toppings. You can add whatever toppings you want and it’s still the same price. As a family where we have two picky eaters and two garbage disposals, this is a great option. And, less expensive than ordering from somewhere else.
The staff is friendly as well. There are a few growing pains that I am sure will be taken care of… for example, when they are slammed, it tends to be chaotic with people yelling out what they want and the people on the line being able to hear, but that is to be expected.
The drink selection is wonderful. The milkshakes, however, not a fan. We will be regulars.

Went to Mod Pizza for dinner the other night. My first impression is I think the concept is cool but wonder for me personally, if it will be more of a lunch place than dinner.
You can choose whatever you want on a pizza — 3 sizes available. They also have salads and a pizza salad (salad on a pizza crust). You walk up and pick your toppings or choose one of their 9 named combos. They put the toppings on and into the oven it goes. About 5 minutes later, your name is called and you are eating. They sell beer there as well.
i ended up trying a few mini pizzas and liked the BBQ chicken and basic sausage and wasn’t a big fan of the white pizza. The vibe is good — help good. I will go back.

Walked in the door and everyone was shouting hi to us. This place is huge and open so echoed throughout!
Went straight to the counter and started looking at the menu… they have set topping pizzas listed on the wall as well as salads but you can just build your own… that’s awesome! I ordered a simple red sauce, mozzarella, spinach, mushroom, and roasted red pepper pizza… the crust was uh yummy! I’m not going to lie I first thought the crust was a tortilla… it’s not, it’s fresh dough! My dining buddy ordered a pizza with five or six toppings… no idea but it looked good!
We got our drinks, lots of choices, and sat down… our pizzas were delivered right to our table and we started to chow down. I was hesitant at first but the pizza was really good… the crust was nice and charred the way I like it too! The staff was really nice as they came by a couple of times to see how everything was! We are going back for the pizza for sure.
This place reminds me of a Chipotle. The build your own style as well as simple decorations, tables, chairs, floor…, but one difference was how the entire staff was enthusiastic about their customers and showed it. As we left they were waiving and saying bye to us… even used my name I had them use for my pizza ‘sunshine’!
They do not have a dining program which was surprising as the marketing manager mentioned there are 60 plus locations… I think they should get one!

Drove by here a few weeks back and saw that this place would be opening. Drove by on a Saturday, saw they were open and went in to check it out. Not too crazy about walking in and having everyone working there yelling «Hello» to us which it seems is their thing to do with anybody entering. Stop that, please.
Anyway, as these fast casual places are popping up all over now, I was curious as to how this place was. Had already been to Blaze, so how does this compare?
As others have pointed out, this is a «Chipotle Style» of ordering. I must point out that I am not a Chipotle fan since I have so many authentic Taquerias surrounding me.
Back to the pizza. I ordered a thin crust with mushrooms and red peppers and asked to have arugula placed on it after cooking. They put on such a miniscule amount of sauce on the pie that I had to ask for more and it still was not enough. I passed on any of the meat items because I did not like how they looked. The pizza was underwhelming at best. Sauce had zero flavor, cheese was not cooked very well, the crust was ok. It is just not really for me. I know that there is a niche for these places just like there is for Little Caesars and Dominos but I don’t fit in that demographic. I want the real stuff. Others seem to have swooned in their reviews but I just don’t get it. Maybe they like the price and set-​up but I guess I’m Old School.
Just my humble opinion.
Cheers to All

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the golden age of fast pizza.
We walked by Panera and saw that this place had opened. It looked like a place that dished out pizza fast, so we agreed to go in the next day and give it a try.
Mod Pizza has a lot of options (except, strangely, wheat crust; something I hope they resolve in the mid-​term future). I picked an 11″ Tristan pizza, which had mushrooms, pesto, red peppers and asiago. As I wasn’t looking to completely demolish myself nutritionally, I went for the caramelized pear black tea instead of a chocolate salted toffee milkshake. (Next time!)
The pizza was done in roughly 8 minutes, and much like Pie Five it’s served on a super-​thin crust with just the right amount of veggies (so that it doesn’t end up soggy). Unlike Pie Five I’d have to say that the crust on this pizza ended up more chewy than crispy, and so I liked it.
I also loved the pear tea, which had just the right amount of sweetness and complexity to it.
This place is fantastic, and I’m glad it’s close by. You’d be wise to drop by before the line goes out the door!

First time to this place and we love it.
We ordered cheese pizza, caspian, mad dog, tristan and
strip n dip. Love their special ice tea.
Nice friendly Mod staffs!
