This place is unprepared to handle individuals ordering multiple items in store. Waited over thirty minutes to get an order in

What a lovely place for a quick bite. You get a comfortably sized pizza for about ten bucks and you can have whatever you want on it. It's all assembled right before your eyes. Great service, friendly staff and you get a freshly baked pizza within minutes. Quickly becoming my favorite lunch spot in south shore! Oh yeah, I inquired about their no-name cakes but apparently they're so good they've been sold out! read more

MOD Pizza - A fresh margherita(Dillon James) really hits the spot for me! - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

My son and I both love Mod. We get a wide variety of choices for toppings at the same price, which is a very reasonable price. The food is always delicious and I personally LOVE their lemonade, regular and Blackberry. Our only issue is that they consistently burn our pizzas. This happened several times earlier in the year and I requested that they remake our pizzas, which made each person look annoyed at our requests. I reluctantly went back this week for a special first week of school treat, my son requested Mod. Fortunately, the pizzas were perfect this time. My son said they were burnt, but that was just a small piece of overcooked cheese on the side of his pizza. Otherwise, the flavor was good and I felt happy. I've gone to other locations and felt completely satisfied so we'll continue to go to Mod on occasion. I'm just hesitant about this location. read more

This little plaza pretty much has everything. This is conveniently located on the outer edge close to Panera bread, chipotle, and Jamba Juice. I came here on a Friday evening and there were quite a lot of people there. They have a couple of tables open inside but plenty of table outside for outdoor dining. I got a regular salad which was a little under $10 and definitely plenty of food. My bf got a personalized pizza with plenty of meat and veggies. Service was good overall. Together our two items was $21. They do offer a lunch special which is a free 24 oz drink if you go during a certain time. I'm a fan of mod pizza and this location was great! I recommend this to anyone craving some DIY personalized pizza. read more

MOD Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

I love MOD! They have great pizza and salads. Just tried the cheese bread. Fantastic! Highly recommend

Great value for a single pizza for yourself & your S/O. It was my first time trying MOD pizza at south shore plaza, I always see it driving by. I was craving pizza n decided to give it a try on Valentine's Day. The style is very much like Blaze pizza, you make your own pizza with any topping you'd like. The best is that toppings don't charge extra, you only need to pay for the size of pizza you're getting!! What a great value for pizza. WHAT I ORDERED I built my own pizza (12 inches) with marinara sauce, pepperoni, sausages, half pineapple, peppers, mushrooms, bacon bites, mozzarella cheese, drizzle with pesto and oil. COVID 19 PROTOCOL Very safe. All staff wore gloves, masks, they sanitizer the work area. Social distance enforced with tapes on the floor. Customers are required to wear a mask. read more

MOD Pizza - Make your own pizza - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

Best gluten free pizza ever. I really like this pizza place. Excellent service overall. Would highly recommend this place. So neat

The online app order freaking sucks now. They limited so much. Did a 2 toppings for my boyfriend and this is what they gave me. They should really be embarrassed to think this is okay to give customers. Lol. read more

MOD Pizza - Sad pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

Ordered a 6 inch pepperoni and jalapeño pizza with Buffalo drizzle through door dash and was super disappointed.. I love thin crust pizza so was looking forward to this personal one but the entire thing showed up burnt... Completely black crust.. Might give it another chance (in person) but definitely not satisfied or happy with my first time order read more

Okay, this review is more than 2 weeks overdue. Sis suggested coming here after our time at Victoria's Secret. I have never been to MOD based on a past experience when I was going next door to Five Guys and figured I'd stop in MOD and give them a try. I absolutely LOVE pizza. Anyway, my first experience was me walking in and upon making it to the counter and seeing how food was just all over and it appeared nothing was being cleaned, I was disgusted and walked out. I am familiar with this concept as I have had and enjoyed both Blaze and Pieology but when I walked in, nothing made me want to stay. So I'll chalk that up to maybe it was me being in a mood (nope but let's go with it). So again, Sis loves this place and is a pizza fan like myself. I told her of my experience and she said just try it. No lie, we walk in and instantly I'm like uuuggh. The floor was dirty and I'm like with all these people (workers) in here, how does the floor look like this. I understand restaurants get busy and people are pulled away but any lead or manager on duty should always be checking that the restaurant looks good, it is literally a first impression and remember I'm only hete because of Sis because my first impression of this spot was 2 fingers up, I'll pass. Anyway, I hate I didn't get more pics but there were 3 ppl in front of us two being helped at that moment and again i just felt things should have been cleaner. I told Sis, the floor was dirty and we could eat in the car. I do not want to sit with food under my feet and she politely asked one of the staff to sweep up an area so we could sit. I feel I must say again, the restaurant WAS NOT packed and there were no less than 5 workers behind the counter, why no one had the forethought to take advantage of the time the restaurant was virtually empty and clean is beyond me. Why have so many people behind the counter and the restaurant is a mess. Moving on, I DID ORDER and the pizza was good but had I again stepped in alone, I would've walked out. The staff was cool and again I love this concept but I also think people love and enjoy not having to see food all over the counter and floor while ordering and/or prior to eating. Some things are just basic knowledge and if you have 5-6 workers that would seem to be more than enough people given this small location. As this was my first time actually trying I'm not sure if this spot gets busy but it wasn't packed when I had my first experience either but perhaps they do have waves but clearly this was not one of them. I MIGHT give them another chance as I will say my pizza was delicious but I would like to offer feedback that the workers be trained to focus on customer service and keeping the restaurant clean at all times. read more

IN A NUTSHELL: great price for a personal pizza, lots of topping options, create your own pizza VERDICT: APPROVED -unlimited toppings -personal pizza -would come back RUN-DOWN: You can't go wrong with a pizza place that has unlimited toppings and is a great size for one person. I usually finish half and then save the other half for the next day. There are so many topping options to choose from and different sauces. This is a great place to grab a quick personal pizza for a good price with the amount of different toppings. I also believe that they use fire wood to cook the pizza and it takes 10 minutes for it to finish cooking. SCORE & ORDER: 4.5/5 Build Your Own MOD Pizza - $8.47 (4/5) -great selection of toppings -I got all the meats -pesto on pizza and free ranch and pesto (on the side) -FRIED WHOLE GARLIC (I am a sucker for garlic and I really like how they have fried /grilled whole garlic) SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE (not reflected upon review score): Service was good. The server did not hesitate to give me all the meats like I asked and wanted to make sure that this pizza was the one I wanted. Atmosphere, when I went (Sunday afternoon) there were not that many people there. There are limited seating, but my group had 14 people and everyone had a place to sit. read more

MOD Pizza - Build Your Own - $8.47 Ranch & Pesto - free (on the side) - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

I've been hesitant to come here in the past. However, upon letting my curiosity get the best of me, I finally visited this location and was surprised at what I had been missing, while walking past. You basically choose from one of the specialty pizzas or you can create your own by telling the employee who's helping what ingredients you would like on your pizza. You gotta try the spicy sauce! This place offers vegetarian options! The price is decent for what you get. I am a fan and will definitely return soon! read more

I've returned twice and figured out the secret to building a satisfactory pizza- more tomato sauce! Since asking for this, my pizzas have been great! Count on me for being a returning customer! read more

MOD Pizza - Jasper on mega dough - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

Disappointing first visit. My pick up order wasn't ready on time due to one of my items having been placed in someone else's order. Was about a 10 minute wait for it to be remade - no big deal, it happens and I was offered an apology and something to drink while I waited, so that was cool. What bummed me out was getting home to find my pizza had been carelessly assembled - one ingredient was on just half the pizza and another ingredient was on the other half (not how I ordered it). And the dressing I had requested on the side was missing. The ingredients were fresh and I appreciated the interaction with the staff but I probably won't be back. read more

MOD= moderate pizza. I had decent expectations after seeing the 4 star reviews that MOD Pizza had. However, I was not impressed. I was welcomed with a friendly hello once I walked in, but she seemed rather exasperated when she was asking what I wanted on my pizza. The pizza dough was incredibly thin, and the toppings were sparse. I also found a hair on my pizza which was kind of disappointing. I also thought my pizza was too salty. On the bright side, however, the pizza was baked well at a good temperature! I do prefer Blaze Pizza to MOD Pizza. They have the same type of choosing your own toppings so I recommend checking that out if they have that in your area! read more

MOD Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

This place is so outstanding! I really love the pizza and the fresh fruit drinks! I love the upbeat staff, and friendliness. I love the high quality ingredients! I love the all toppings included pricing, very well worth it!!! They have pre-written pizza combos, and allow you to add anything extra you want. I love the fresh oregano and other oils they offer too! It's so delicious that I want to eat two or three different pies every time I visit!!! I honestly don't know about the quality content, but you feel healthier eating here. Not so "doughy" more so healthily scrumptious!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! read more

New vegan options thank you mod pizza !!! Always been nice and fast service very friendly and good tea , lemonade drinks too read more

Reasonably price tasty 11 inch pizza. Thin, wood burning oven cooked, fine toppings. Super easy to order even easier to collect with 3 options cub collections, delivery or pick up. We went for cub collection. Got a phone call, found out car and we were done. $6 got us an extremely tasty pizza , that all enjoyed (kids from 2 to 46 - kind of an old kid lol). Topping is sparse the way I like it with a thin crust. The menu offer many options. I am lazy and unimaginative and my wallet is kind of empty so went for cheap and did not regret it. Much more authors than Caesar. read more

Did a DoorDash order for MOD pizza. Overall, my order was correct However, I was extremely disappointed in the serving size of the salad being that it was $8 and I got about a 1/2 cup of salad. If I'd known the portion would be this small, I would've got a size up. Not only that, my pizza was extremely oily. Whoever made my pizza was a lil heavy-handed with that. I prefer pizza w/o so much oil. It didn't affect the flavor too much tho. All together, I know for future reference what to put in my notes on my orders. read more

MOD Pizza - CYO pizza + mini Caesar salad - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

Another kind of MYO restaurant...Chipotle, poke bowls, you name it, you customize it =) I believe MOD Pizza replaces the former Greek restaurant that used to be here...correct me if I'm wrong =) I had tried the other restaurant before and it took 45 minutes for my lunch to be prepared, so having MOD Pizza here is a nice change. You can order pizza and salad here, and they have some combinations on their menu. I usually like to customize my order and it's always fun to play around with different combinations. They're always fast, friendly and efficient even when lines are long. There's plenty of seating inside but you can also take your food to go and eat it around Southshore, since there's plenty of outdoor seating as well. BONUS: My friends and I were here a few weeks ago for lunch. Their payment system was down so we ended up each getting a free meal. read more

On a recent Friday evening me & my friend cruised on over to Alameda to MOD Pizza for some vegan pizza. MOD Pizza is a fast, casual chain that does pizza even offering a solid vegan pizza. I have been vegan nearly 20 years & back in the day the vegan cheese didn't melt. The plant based movement has come a long way offering better vegan cheese alternatives as well as becoming increasingly mainstream. One big improvement is we now have vegan cheeses that melt along w/ some artisan vegan cheeses that taste amazing. Miyoko's artisan cultured vegan cheese is probably one of the best vegan cheese brands out there that is a bit pricey yet worth it as it is amazing. Butcher's Son in Berkeley also makes a artisan cheese in house for their sandwiches & other restaurants are starting to carry it such as a vegan pizza that Cheeseboard Collective does in Berkeley. Daiya, a company based out of Vancouver, Canada, was one of the first vegan cheeses to come out that actually melt & it is made from tapioca so it is allergen free. When Daiya arrived in 2009 it was a big deal in the movement. It is good although I prefer other vegan cheeses yet it is great that places offer it as it is the go to vegan cheese for many restaurants it seems these days. Back in the good old days when I first went vegan it was ordering a pizza w/ no cheese w/ heaps of veggies along w/ extra marinara sauce. MOD Pizza was fairly crowded & a bit noisy yet that was too be expected on a Friday night. We went w/ a double crust pizza w/ Daiya vegan cheese & all the veggies for $11.27. It is unlimited toppings which is nice. We had it fully loaded w/ artichokes, arugula, basil, kalamata olives, black olives, cilantro, green bell peppers, jalapenos, Mama Lil's peppers, mushrooms, pineapple, red onion, roasted garlic, roasted kale, roasted corn, roasted red peppers, chopped fresh rosemary, spinach, & tomatoes. We even were able to get chick peas added upon request. It was a flavorful & enjoyable vegan pizza that is worth checking out! read more

On 3/12/23 our visit was truly abysmal. The employees behind the counter were doing their best given the place was slammed. The problem is bad management. The manager person had on her jacket and bag, and was heading for the door but stopped an employee, the only person making the pizzas, and gave him a to-do list about cleaning. She clearly did not care or did not notice the huge line of increasingly frustrated customers. And judging by how frazzled and confused a couple of employees acted, clearly the manager did not train them thoroughly enough, and felt it was okay to clock out and leave them stranded. Once we got home with our food, it was very evident that the staff need more experience before being left without a manager's oversight. Pizza was undercooked and soggy, barely any of it was edible. After seeing a Buffalo Chicken salad on the MOD Pizza menu on DoorDash, we tried to order that but the employee had never heard of it, so we had to show him what goes in the salad. Overall this visit was a total shit show, and it's the manager's fault. She needs a lot more training, as do the rest of the staff. Also, three employees were wearing the NOT slip-resistant Crocs with ventilation holes. These shoes are not allowed in food service. Only the Croc "chef shoes" with closed toes and no ventilation holes are allowed in restaurant kitchens. read more

Heard a lot of good things about Mod Pizza so finally decided to check it out. It's inside the Alameda Southshore Center by Jamba Juice & Panera. They're opening one in Castro Valley soon. It's similar to Pieology where you can customize your own pizza for about $9. So, I came in on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't busy; maybe about 6 people inside. The bf and I were checking out their menu on the wall and decided to go with the "Mad Dog" which has red sauce, pepperoni, mild sausage, ground beef & mozzarella. We substituted it w/ white sauce instead and added more toppings; garlic, corn, mushrooms, spicy Italian sausage & onions. The pizza tasted alright compared to other places I've been to. The sausages were too salty and the lady cut our pizza into 4's... so the pieces were too big. Service wasn't good either. The employees did not greet us, weren't welcoming and seemed like they didn't want to be there. I saw some interesting drink options tho, like a vintage lemonade and Marion blackberry limeade. Might give this place another try in the future. read more

The cashier exhibited a poor attitude and displayed unhygienic behavior by touching their hair and then handling food, which was both uncomfortable and unsanitary. Additionally, they struggled to manage both the in-store line and online orders simultaneously. While I acknowledge the high volume of customers and the resulting pressure, since I also worked at a restaurant before, their workflow was inefficient. On a positive note, the other staff member was courteous and professional. To an extent, I do not blame them though. They need more workers... read more

I don't know why it took me so long to try this place, but I finally went with a few friends. It's located in a plaza with plenty of parking, so finding a spot will never be a problem. The workers greeted us as soon as we walked in. It has the same concept as pieology where you are able to build you own pizza with unlimited toppings. I'm not sure if pieology or mod came first, but I've only known pieology for years. I really like that mod has a mini size that's the perfect snack. The lady who started my pizza was very nice. They all seem to be working at lightning speed. I felt a bit rushed. It was my first time, so I had to look at all my topping options, but I felt like I was looking to slow, so I just picked whatever. They don't seem to put much on your pizza unless you ask them to put more. I asked them to cook my pizza a little longer because I wanted it to be crispy. You can even add some drizzle to top off your pizza after it comes out of the oven. I liked the balsamic and pesto drizzle. The pizza was pretty good even though it looked boring. I'd probably be back if I'm in the area. read more

MOD Pizza - Vegan all ! - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

150 bucks have to be spent to be thrown a bone. The incentive used to be an added bonus. What happened.. I used to come in line or not and be able to snag a meal in a timely manner as I work in the shopping center and only have a 30m lunch period. Ohhh wait they have an app so you'd think that would come in handy when it comes to pre ordering boom lunch ready when you get there(of course giving some time for the order to be made). However, ITS NEVER ready when I get there over 15m after an order... But you know what SCREW it I love the product it tastes wonderful I'll come in... what's that???? Oh you've let half a dozen app orders build up and you want to make them while I stand here even though you have multiple peeps on the line. Dude no I don't have time for that and there goes some repeat business. Bet some of those orders were mine just left in a pile on the side. It's Whatever though other options around just sad that the service is never consistent and the folks who used to get it right aren't there anymore. Sad day I used to look forward to coming in but over a half dozen times hoping it would change isn't right I myself can't believe I walked out and even took the time to write this all hangry at Panera's. read more

Pro: *) Great price performer $8.87 11" all toppings included with vegan cheese option. Great vegan options. So far, the best price performer in search for vegan pizza option. My size for personal - was hungry 6" mini was $6.87 *) Allergen guide online shows what sauces are vegan. I got the red sauce. BBQ, olive oil and garlic rub are other vegan options for sauce. The cauliflower crust is not vegan, it has egg and dairy https://modpizza.com/allergen/ *) Can pile as many toppings as you want. with long list of veggies available. *) They offered to redo issue with specialty pizza noted below. Had no way to take the mistake home, so they just added all the toppings and did a quick re-fire *) Gluten free crust available for plus $2 Neutral: *) Indoor seating on a Sunday afternoon was very cold. Decided to eat outdoors Con: *) Meat eater's order for one of their special pizza's with request for add mushroom and mozzarella came without any of original specialty toppings and just mushrooms and cheese. Incorrect orders seem to be a prevalent issue in other reviews. Wanted a Dominic: white sauce, asiago, fresh chopped basil, red onion, sliced tomatoes, mild sausage PLUS add-ons *) Too far from home base and only there because of special day at the beach *) Thin crust, but they have a mega crust for $2 more. Might try this in future. read more

Under $10 for a 11" personalized size pizza? Ohh yes. Definitely sign me up! Came here today with a buddy of mine and had a great pizza experience. Had been wanting to try MOD for a while after having heard great things about the MOD chain from others. To say the least, my positive dining experience matched my friends' prior experiences at the MOD chain. MOD can be described as Chipotle of pizza- you design your pizza just the way you like it. However, unlike Chipotle the price of your pizza includes ANY ingredient you want. As a veggie fan, my pizza had a good balanced mix of greens and meat. My pizza (I ordered the 11" - aka the MOD) included arugula, kale, mushrooms, artichoke, sundried tomatoes, pepperoni, basil, sprinkled pesto, spicy Italian sausage, mozzarella and Gorgonzola cheeses, with red sauce. I usually don't finish an entire personalized sized pizza, but I was hungry and it was just that good! This place is pretty popular, even at off times (I came at 3pm). The restaurant itself isn't that big, so it may be hard to find a table. Parking is plentiful as this MOD is located inside the South Shore Center strip mall. Definitely will be back. Yummy pizza at an affordable price is always a winner! read more

MOD Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

Pizza was nothing special and hardly edible with all the black charcoal on the bottom every slice! It seems they never clean their oven. After handling a few slices, my hands looked like a mechanic with all the dirt and soot from the pizza. I also ordered online and STILL had to wait about 30 minutes! The staff seem uninterested and unhappy to be there. This is nothing like the MOD in Pinole. read more

MOD Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

I came in here completely clueless; I knew nothing! Turns out, this place is like a pizza version of Subway, but with more of a restaurant sit-down feel. You first get in line and choose your pizza size. Then you get any and all the toppings you want! The menu will have set pizza flavors you can just choose if you don't feel like customizing. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Here's what I had: $8.29 I honestly don't remember what I ordered because there was a lot of toppings. It was a set pizza with additional toppings on top. The crust was very thin and your pizza is baked to order! Can't get any fresher than that! I thought the pricing was decent. MOD STRIPS - $2.97 This was pretty pizza crust with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and some herbs with a dipping sauce. There's 3 kinds and I chose pesto. This isn't bad...I mean it comes out the same time as your pizza order so I think it defeats the purpose of an appetizer. It's really more carbs. Tasty carbs. I thought this place was pretty cool and convenient. This restaurant was although fast, it felt like a non-fast food place...it was clean and new! I was happy with how friendly and nice the staff were! I'd definitely come again when I have a hankering for some thin crusted pizza. read more

MOD Pizza - MOD STRIPS - $2.97 (with pesto dipping sauce) - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

Efficient, friendly, clean, economical, easy parking in South Shore Center and unlimited toppings? Sign me up! I finally made it to Mod after some fellow Yelpers asked me why I hadn't been so I could take photos of my food for them so I made the trek with my neighbor. I'd been to a Mod in the South Bay once before so the concept wasn't new to me. Both my friend and I ordered the Mod (medium size) pizzas. He'd never had it before so it was fun to relive the experience of when you see all the toppings and you ask if it's really all still one price regardless of what you put on. I ordered mine with red sauce, garlic rub, arugula (felt like it needed some greens and decided to pass on spinach this time), cheese, pepperoni, spicy Italian sausage, mushrooms, olives and artichokes. What? Artichokes? Yes. And good tasting ones at that! We put in our orders, paid at the cash register, and then sat and waited. Since the pizza crust is thin, it doesn't take long for the pizza to cook which is a plus in my book. For those who love crust, this isn't the pizza for you. I like minimal crust and maximum toppings! The pizza was ready I'm about 5 minutes and was crunchy and cooked through. For about $9, it definitely beats out Dominos, Mountain Mike's, Round Table and Little Caesars as my go to pizza place in Alameda now that Crolls is gone. Value and tastes great! read more
