Founded in 2008 in Seattle, Washington, by Scott and Ally Svenson, MOD Pizza has rapidly become a prominent name in the fast-casual dining sector. The company specializes in artisan-style pizzas and salads, offering a unique "made on demand" service that allows customers to customize their orders with over 30 toppings for a fixed price.

This innovative approach has propelled MOD Pizza to expand across the United States and internationally, with its headquarters now located in Bellevue, Washington.

MOD Pizza began franchising in 2013, adopting a selective partnership strategy to maintain its distinctive culture and mission. The company collaborates with a small network of franchise partners who possess substantial business acumen, operational expertise, and capital resources.

This deliberate approach ensures that each franchise upholds MOD Pizza's commitment to quality and community engagement.

What sets MOD Pizza apart from its competitors is its unwavering focus on people and community. The company emphasizes inclusivity in its hiring practices and strives to make a positive social impact in the areas it serves.

Training

MOD Pizza provides a comprehensive training program to franchisees and their management staff. This includes an initial training program designed to educate and familiarize them with the restaurant system and operations.

The program encompasses multiple levels of training such as MOD Orientation, MOD Squad Training, MOD Captain Training, General Manager Training, and Operator Training. These sessions involve both classroom instruction and on-the-job training at certified locations or corporate restaurants.

Additionally, MOD Pizza may require new hires or management staff to undergo supplemental training as outlined in the Franchise Support Guide. Franchisees are responsible for covering fees and expenses associated with training, including travel and salaries.

This structured approach ensures that all personnel are well-versed in operational standards and business strategies, maintaining consistency across the franchise network.

Territory Protection

MOD Pizza provides franchisees with a "Protected Area," typically within a one to two-mile radius of their location, ensuring operational exclusivity in that region. This area is determined based on demographics and local population.

However, MOD Pizza reserves the right to operate corporate or other franchise locations outside this radius. While the Protected Area offers limited exclusivity, it does not prevent broader competition within the general vicinity.
