This place offers gluten free options such as califlower crust. Was with a date, and she has the same issue with gluten as me. The first employee when she asked for gluten free crust asked her if it was an allergy or not.. Now when I was up to order it was a different employee, and I told him the califlower crust, and he never prompted or asked me if this was an allergy or not. I told him it was an allergy regardless, and he just kind of just said ok. So I look at the pans they use for the pizzas I saw lots of flour on the clean empty pizza pans, I asked him is he going to use that? He said yes. I said that has wheat flour on it. He was kind enough to clean it. it's clean cauliflower crust is on I'm like good I can get the toppings and then get this amazing pizza. After I get the toppings he puts it on the rack and then another employee puts it in the oven. So normally at places like this when you inform employees that this is an allergy. They have a mat for that specific gluten free crust pie that they put the pie on top of whilst in the oven. That crust should never touch the oven surface as it's being shared with regular wheat dough right? Well Mod Pizza of Columbia, Maryland decides nope, f dat. Puts my cauliflower crust pizza directly on the oven surface. I informed the employees right away I can't eat that now. One guy argued with me saying it is a 700 degree oven. And I have no idea what that has to do with gluten and preventing cross-contaimination. This place isn't celiac friendly and I cannot recommend people come here to eat. Now I wouldn't be writing this review normally. I am writing because I called ahead of time and asked them if this place is celiac friendly and what do they do to try I mean try to prevent cross contaimination. They told me they make sure they use a clean pan, they use a separate cutter that is clean and only for the gluten free crust, and that they make sure the pizza isn't directly on the surface of the oven. The employee that serviced me, didn't asked me if this was for an allergy. Was very dismissive and didn't even attempt to prevent cross-contamination without my prompting him and instructing him. Meaning if I didn't speak up. You would've done it anyway. And they did anyway even when I did speak up. I had to cancel an order, go on date where I didn't get to eat a thing. my date also has celiacs and once I pointed out that hey our pizzas are on the oven surface. She had already paid and they didn't seem to care since they noted she had an allergy.. Neither of us got to eat. read more

This will definitely become a favorite lunch place very quickly. My first visit was welcoming and the food was way better than I expected. Such a great way to make pizza! Chipotle style. The brick oven makes the crust perfect and the selection of toppings is amazing! I will definitely be trying more in the very near future. read more

5 stars, yes, 5 stars. Their thin crust pizza is is second to none. Similar to &Pizza but I think I give this one dibs just cuz they offer more meat toppings. Try the 'tyler' or the 'mad dog', off the chain! The place is nice, clean, and they have home made lemonade. The price is just right, plenty of seating and the service is good too. Parking on the other hand is a pain cuz you have to park across the street in the mall parking and walk across to it with no crosswalk. If you're bringing kids, hold their hands across the street. I was way hungry...so no pictures this time, sorry! read more

Strolled into Mod, the Sunday of Vans Warped Tour yearning for a pizza, and a little more. Waiting in line for a pizza, made ready to be mine. After picking my toppings of sausage and such--yes, I'm one who puts pineapples on his pizza, don't respond with "yuck". I arrive at the counter, which to my dismay, it's under $10 for that behemoth of a personal pizza tray. I opt for the milkshake of blackberry, aptly named Marion Barry. Almost as soon as I get to my seat, my name is called, bon appetite. One bite, everybody knows the rules. It's a savory one, the toppings collide crazy to think, the cooks barely even tried. I get to the end of the first slice, starting to think Mod pizza might be my new vice. The crust is crisp and cooked to perfection. Makes me want a brick oven, might have to get rid of my convention. I walk out the doors with a swagger in my stride Mod pizza left me extremely satisfied. read more

3.5 stars. You can build your own or modify one of their signature pizzas. First time visitor to this pizza chain and the crew that was working on this evening seemed to be having a good time. They were all smiling and seemed happy to be there. Great first impression. I ordered a cheese pizza with basil and a pesto sauce on top. The pizza was good but felt like it needed another minute or so in the oven. Ordered the chocolate cake thing which was not good. At all. Well, good if you like those horrid zebra snack cake things then you'd like this one. It had a marshmallow fluff -like filing. I took a bite and put it in the trash. Sorry for not including pictures. I was starving and devoured the pizza. Next time, I'll ask them to leave it in longer (that's where the other half star went). Prices were a bit high but it's a custom pizza. read more

Gotta say I was a little disappointed in my experience, nothing was wrong or bad just not great either. Well actually the pizza was pretty good, it was the service that was off. I felt like I was being rushed by the first guy in the prep line and that through me off. Example, he asked if I wanted red sauce I said yes but before I can say I wanted spicy he was slapping the regular stuff on there so he had to give me a new one and from then on it was kind of a bad vibe. Just riding me thru the toppings, didn't like it. Make give them another shot, not sure. read more

First time visiting Mod Pizza, last time at the Columbia location. Walked in and it was pretty empty. Being my first time, As I was about to ask about the sizing, the young lady (dreads and piercings) just jumped in (no greeting) and says "name for the order?". Then I get to ask my question... she looked bothered but she showed me the dough and sizes. So I proceed to look at the menu, my wife attempts to order and was getting the nastiest looks from the young lady. Wife asked for margherita pizza, and she just jumped out and said " we don't have basil". The attitude behind her was horrible! We're not easily offended but her looks and attitude just sucked! Maybe she was having a bad day... sucks for this location. She should not have been the first person anyone interacts with at this franchise location. We left... the attitude and the looks and vibes she was giving was that bad. They're opening a new location near me in Crofton... hope I get to actually order a pizza next time I visit a Mod pizza! read more

Really great pizza. Tons of toppings options for no extra charge. Time to cook was less than a 10 minute wait. Three grievances... 1: please offer avocado & cucumber for the salads. 2: Where's the dessert?! 3: Please supply need thicker straws for your shakes. The pizza was really, really good. I can't wait to come back!! read more

MOD Pizza - Chicken, bacon, basil, tomato, green peppers, red pepper, mushrooms, red onion, Asiago, mozzarella & balsamic fig drizzle. - Pizza Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I've never been here so I had questions. The young man behind the counter was excellent at explaining the process. I got the 11" with garlic rub, light on the red sauce, fresh basil, roasted garlic corn broccoli and grape tomatoes, mozzarella parmesan and asiago cheese. Drizzled with garlic butter. It only takes 5 minutes to bake because they put just the right amount of each topping. After it came out of the brick oven I had them to top it with a little pesto sauce. OMG I literally ate half the pizza before I realized it. It's that good. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Oh did I mention I'm not a big fan of pizza. So I think that says a lot about this place. I'm hoping they have more around town. I'll be buying pizza for lunch again if I see one. read more

We are long-time supporters of this chain. On Friday night our meal was pretty good, but there were some indications that this location cannot handle busy times as well as the location we usually go to. First, as we stood being next in line, we had to wait for them to make called-in orders on the main food preparation line. I felt a bit ignored and wondered if I would get quicker service by calling the order in. When we finally placed our order and started moving down the line, they bumped a called-in order in between our two pizzas. This resulted in our two pizzas coming out of the oven at different times. Not a deal breaker. Second, I had requested the "Modness" special deal. After the cashier gave me the total and it sounded high, I asked the cashier, "Are you sure you gave us the special?" and she said yes. As you may guess, when I sat down and looked at the receipt, I was in fact charged full price for both pizzas and both drinks and had to go back to get it corrected. Not a deal breaker. Third, the drink area was out of plastic-ware. Even after I got some at the counter and notified them, I noticed when we left 30 minutes later that there still wasn't any plastic-ware. Two of the three napkin containers were empty, and the third had the napkins jammed up inside. One nearby trashcan was filled up but another one in the store had recently been emptied. There was no one wiping tables the entire time we were there. So much for enhanced cleaning during COVID. We wiped our table ourselves. Not a deal breaker. Fourth, all of the signs declaring "blazing fast" didn't apply that night. There is certainly a limit to how many orders this place can process before it is not "blazing fast" anymore. Not a deal breaker. Importantly, though, the pizzas tasted great. While the individual problems were not deal breakers, the cumulative effects would make me hesitant to go on a Friday night again. read more

The pizza makers are great and make the food taste even better. Amazing options, try a Dillon James or build your own. We eat here almost once a day. Love this Columbia MOD. read more

MOD Pizza - Try a "Dillon James" or a "Lucy sunshine" - Pizza Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

They can top your pizza with any of toppings of your choosing. I love fresh pizza especially one I get to choose the toppings. Making my order went quick, but not paying for it. Service needs work. The cashiers or lack their of on my visit especially. I could see this going horribly wrong for business when a customer is left hanging after picking up their pizza with staff unaware of the fact nobody had even been charged for the pizzas. It's even weirder having to hustle as a customer to get staff to notice in a near empty restaurant that the two gals standing at the cashier actually care to pay for their food. I had wondered if the others before us paid at all before walking out with their hot pizzas. I usually don't scrutinize service this way but it doesn't pay to have lackadaisical staff. read more

Make-your-own pizza in the assembly-line style of fast-casual pioneered by Chipotle. There are other chains that do the same (such as Blaze Pizza and Pie Five), but Mod Pizza has a unique offering -- add as many toppings as you want for the same price, possibly heaped so high you have to eat your pizza with a knife and fork. And the toppings are good quality too, with a good variety in each category. Mod shows they understand proper pizza assembly as well, allowing toppings under the cheese (such as pesto, greens, olive oil) and light toppings at the very end (after baking). There's multiple kinds of seasoning, a good dozen kinds of meat, multiple sources of spicy heat if you're inclined, a good variety of vegetables... it's delicious. Once you've figured out your pizza (and there's multiple pre-determined varieties if you're the indecisive sort), it takes 5-10 minutes to bake. Yum. The crust is light and crisp, a bit like a pita-style (but heavier). It holds up well to the toppings-- or would have, if I hadn't picked so many. There is bar-style seating, high-tops, and regular tables, as well as a good sized patio. Also, try their "No name cake". It's a fresh little cream-filled chocolate pastry that tastes like an adult's dream of childhood little debbie cakes. For $2, you should get one. (I think fresh anyway, not sealed, just wrapped in foil) This location is in one of the new buildings that have sprung along the western flank of the Mall in Columbia. There's curbside parking immediately adjacent (just a few spots), and then plenty of spaces across the small road in the mall parking lot. I'll definitely be back. read more

Heard plenty of good things about this place, and I can see why. I'm picky when it comes to pizza, but I'm satisfied by my experience at MOD pizza. I've never seen a Chipotle-style pizza place before, but the system works beautifully. Pick the toppings you want, or choose one of their favorite selections. The service here is just how I like it: fast and friendly. Clean dining area, clean restroom. Their pizzas are just right for one person, and their shakes are downright sinful. Plenty of toppings to pick from for both pizzas and milkshakes. Overall, a great place for a quick bite. I'll definitely be back for lunch again. read more

MOD Pizza - Make-your-own pizza - Pizza Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

This place is pretty good for fast customizable pizza. I honestly would rate it one step above Blaze and lower then &Pizza. Ingredients are similar to Blaze with the quality but the crust and the breading for MOD is actually what makes it better than Blaze. Nice crust and bread that's thick enough for a good bite and has good flavor. Would totally recommend over most of the food court Mall food, a little inconvenient with location and walking across from the parking lot. Customer service was good/average, could use a little more tlc to customers coming in but average. read more

Great place to go for a fresh salad/ pizza. I love how many toppings you can get on them!

I love mod pizza but every time we order from the town center location through Uber Eats they mess up my pizza. This is the 3rd time they give me the wrong topping on my order. Not ordering from them again. read more

Pizza sucks. I wish I could have got my money back. Go to Blaze Pizza 100 times better. I've never had Pizza this horrible

No, it wasn't the best pizza I've ever had, but it was a pretty fun experience! For those who haven't been, the toppings are set up Chipotle style and you can pick from a handful of pre-selected combinations of cheeses and toppings or you can create your own. The pizzas are priced by size, not by toppings so you can mix, match, and get whatever you want. You can see your pizza being built and then going into the oven. It only needs to bake for about 5 minutes. My friend's and I ended up getting three mini pizzas between the two of us and we liked all of them. I think the crust could be a little better and think they can be slightly more generous with the amount of each topping that goes on the pizza. Other than that, no complaints! The service was great and there was plenty of space to sit. They also have a great variety of beverages to purchase (not just a fountain soda machine). It's a great place for a quick and casual bite. read more

Not sure what happened over the past six months, but getting an order right seems to be rather difficult for the staff lately. The last 3 times we have ordered from here the line couldn't read the ticket and put dairy cheese on our pizza instead of vegan cheese. Being plant based, this rendered our meals entirely useless, and because we used postmates, getting a refund was more trouble than it was worth. We have opted to just stop ordering from here and invest our money in places where literacy is high and cow's cheese doesn't come on our vegan pizza. I would encourage anyone with an allergy or living a plant based lifestyle to just do the same and not waste your time with their nonsense. read more

Amazing experience here at mods. I came with my husband on a Tuesday night at 7pm. The line was not long at all. The front crew who built our pizza were so patient and super helpful. We got two Mod pizzas and the garlic bread with 3 drinks. The pizzas tasted amazing and hands down will be the biggest reason to come back. we were not a fan of the garlic bread and let the staff know who were super understanding and didn't even charge us for it. Amazing place overall! read more

I found the pizza to be absolutely excellent! I love the fact that you can choose how much of which toppings you want on your pizza. Not only that, the staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable. I certainly plan on returning many times. read more

This could have easily been a four or a five star review. The pizza is really good and my wife has tons of food allergies that they accommodate which is awesome. But the service is lacking. I showed up for an Internet order and was told it was in the oven. I waited for 10 minutes and then realized they had just started making it. I eventually flags down the manager and explained it to him and he said to me "it's hard to work these Internet orders in." He must have seen my face because he did immediately apologize and say that's not really an excuse. I did eventually get my pizzas although I saw people walk in, go through the line, and get their pizzas before me even though I showed up after the time the site said my order would be ready. The manager again apologized and said the next one was on him. I asked if we could just make this one on the house. Since it was an online order he said sure I will re-run your credit card this evening. He never did. Wish I could give a better review. Update: Continue to give unbelievably bad service. Messed up wife's pizza and made her get in back of the line to order the replacement. They also just walk away in the middle of ringing you up. Never give you receipt and usually forget to give you drinks so you have to wave someone else down. Never coming back. Hope they disappear like the Cali Burger. read more

I love the crust. My mouth can't handle a lot of dough so this place makes me happy. Get as many toppings as you want on the pizza. Please get the caramelized pear ice tea. This tea is beyond good. My throat was doing cartwheels. Interesting loft style open seating. Great place for large groups to eat and the price is affordable. Those chairs are not made for luscious thick hips. They have vegan cheese. It's so good!!! I put every vegetable on my pizza. This fulfilled the craving I needed since going vegan 8 months ago. Who said vegans can't eat good. Mod pizza with red onions, garbanzo beans, corn, sweet, hot peppers, artichoke, roasted cauliflower, mushrooms and roasted red peppers. This is what good eats look like. Eat, be merry and enjoy every delicious bite!! read more

Been back multiple times, and it hasn't failed me yet. Service is always friendly, even if it's close to closing time (sorry! Late craving!). I keep taking pics when I go, but then forget to post them... I've tried a couple of their seasonal options, but there is usually something I change about whatever I select anyway. I appreciate the multitude of topping options. Definitely recommend the pesto and/or balsamic glaze. read more

Ps the pizza is very good down to the crust and love that you can put as much toppings as you like. read more

Good fast-casual pizza across from Columbia Town Center. Tasty, quick, reasonably priced, and a fun atmosphere. They have preset pizzas you can order or modify, or you can build your own. All for the same price. We had garlic strips with pesto, a mini (side) Caesar, the 'mad dog', and the 'dominic'. The salad and pizzas were fresh and filling without being greasy or putting you in a food coma. The garlic strips were fine, but forgettable. My only real complaint, and it's a minor one, is that most of the staff seemed like they were still figuring things out. The brunette woman was on top of things, but everyone else seemed to be milling about and trying to remember how things worked. Great place to add to the fast-casual repertoire. You can only go to Panera, Chipotle, or Noddles & Co. so many times in a row. read more

Sunday June 5th 2022 at 12PM me my brother and uncle came here for lunch. Lights were completely off (it kept it cooler?) First time coming here.. ordered a pizza.. realized they had different crust options. So I switched mine before even creating the pizza. The girl (no hair net with her hair hanging everywhere) got pissed that I switched my crust. Then I asked if they could take some sauce off. The man was going to scrape some off (which was fine) the girl got pissed again and just threw the entire crust away. (Great way to waste food!) I asked for a pepperoni pizza and she started to add sausage I said no no no I just want pepperoni.. she got pissed again and started to pick it off throwing the sausage all over the preparation area and on the floor. I had to ask the guy to add more cheese because God for bid the girl do her damn job without an attitude. Anything we ordered that she had to take part in included attitude and eye rolls and smart comments under her breath. My brother said thank you while grabbing our pizza and it took her everything to give him a thumbs up behind her back. She couldn't stop staring at us while we ate.. attitude, disrespect, no hair net, snarky comments.. don't matter if the pizza was good.. it ain't worth being disrespected.. let's remember without business.. sweetie you don't get a paycheck. Won't go here again! read more

Nice concept. Much needed in the Columbia center. But staff is incompetent. We specifically ask for meat on our pizza as additional toppings. They even scribble it on the wax sheet. But when u got out pizza everything was there except the meat. If we wanted vegan food we would have gone else where. We even left them a tip for messing up our order. read more

I came here for the first time after my boyfriend raved about how amazing the pizza is. Upon entering Mod's at 9:00pm (they close at 10:00pm) we noticed several employees looked very displeased. As we walked up to the counter we heard one employee loudly say to another "omg really. Don't you get off at 9?!" Someone began creating our pizzas but I guess we weren't moving fast enough because a second person rudely came to move things along. Toppings were thrown haphazardly on our pizzas and we sat down to wait for them to cook. The team member operating the oven appeared the most displeased with customers coming in. But we also shared the same disgust as we watched her scratch her nose, repeatedly adjust her hat, flip her hair, and use her cellphone all while cooking our food. We watched as she threw another customer's pizza into a box and slid it to her. The customer shook her head and quickly left, clearly offended by their interaction. Between the employees dressed like they were ready for bed, the extremely sour attitudes, and apparent health/hygiene practices in question, we finally got up and left without our pizzas. I have never felt more unwelcomed in an establishment. This was my first and last time at this Mod's pizza. read more

This is the slowest "build your own" pizza place I've ever been to. I went inside, and there were two ladies ahead of me.

Pros: -Totally customizable pizza, including choice of thin to think crust -Huge variety of toppings to choose from -All food (please correct if I'm mistaken) made-to-order -Offers pre-selected toppings for pizza on menu, for the indecisive or rushed guests -Quality of ingredients looks good, but I haven't researched to see where they come from or if they're organic or anything -Tend to be fairly quick from when you walk in the door to when you stuff your face with your pizza -Very clean restaurant: tables, floors, chairs, bathrooms, and counters -Offers milkshakes that are the bomb -Offers fresh lemonades that are even better! -Food is prepared and cooked in completely visible area -Pizzas cooked in large brick oven -Vegetarian options available -Free refills on lemonades! -Staff is welcoming and pleasant, and more than happy to help and accommodate guests Neutral: -Minimalist chairs and tables that aren't very comfortable -Deli-/Subway-style ordering counter -Pizzas take some time to cook, adding extra wait time Cons: -No alcohol served (at least not when I visited, though that may change) -Lines especially during lunch and dinner hours can become quite long -Prices are affordable, but not so cheap as to make this an everyday lunch option for many nearby office and mall workers; can easily be more expensive than similar nearby eateries Conclusion: If you're looking for a new experience and you love pizza, you've got to try MOD Pizza. Build your own pizza and milkshake and get yourself some of their fresh blackberry lemonade that is to die for. Be prepared to wait between 10-20 minutes for your pizza to cook in their brick oven, and know that you are paying for great quality food when you get to the register. It won't cost you your arm and leg unless you fall in love and start eating there daily, which is a possibility!
