Our Story
Born from a Passion
for Authentic Flavor
Mod Pizza was founded in 2010 in the heart of Bend, Oregon, by a duo of food lovers who believed that great mod pizza shouldn't be complicated — it should be personal. Every customer deserved a pie built exactly the way they craved it: fresh dough, premium sauce, and hand-picked toppings.
What started as a single location with a handful of tables has grown into a beloved community staple, drawing in regulars and visitors alike. Our signature style — the mods pizza approach — lets you craft every bite your way, from classic Margheritas to bold custom creations.
Today, our team of dedicated chefs and hospitality pros continues that original mission: to serve inspired, craveable pizza in a space that feels like home.

Our Values
The Principles Behind Every Pie
Everything we do at Mod Pizza is guided by four core values that shape our food, our team, and the community we serve.
Fresh Quality
We source only the finest local produce and premium cheeses. If it's not fresh, it doesn't go on your modpizza. That's our promise — every single day.
Community First
We're not just a restaurant — we're part of Bend, Oregon's fabric. We support local farmers, sponsor neighborhood events, and give back to those who need it most.
Your Way, Always
The mods pizza philosophy means your pie is truly yours. Choose your crust, sauce, cheese, and unlimited toppings — all at one incredible price, made to order.
Bold Creativity
We're never satisfied with "good enough." Our kitchen team is always experimenting with bold new flavor profiles, seasonal specials, and chef-curated combinations.
