[update 2/18/19] We all have bad days and get sick, but stay home if your working food. Downgraded from 5 to 2 stars. 2 people ahead of us and no one else in line. When it came to our turn, 2 employees started making call in orders, instead of just one while they help waiting customers. 4 call in pizzas later, were still waiting to be acknowledged. One of the employees started blowing and cleaning his nose at the sink. It got to the point that he would blow his nose and wash his hands, blow and wash at least 4 times. Each wash was less thorough. Mind you, they don't wear gloves when they make your pizza. Suddenly didn't feel like eating pizza. read more

MOD Pizza - What's your MOD ?? - Pizza Near Me - Downey, California

See all

MOD Pizza is one of the latest restaurants to open up in the also new "Promenade at Downey." View this link for more info: http://www.promenade-downey.com/now-open.html PARKING You shouldn't have a problem for now since the new Promenade (center in Downey) is still mostly under construction or has many stores that have yet to open. If you enter the Promenade from Lakewood Blvd, you should see MOD Pizza kind off to the left next to the not-yet-open Chipotle. AMBIANCE I like all the MOD stickers, photos of people smiling, and the staff t-shirts with the peace sign. I don't mind backless chairs, but I didn't notice any high chairs for our toddlers. We didn't plan on eating there, so that wasn't a priority. The thing I noticed immediately was the loudness. The music. The staff yelling. Patrons yelling because they couldn't hear each other. I hate asking employees to repeat themselves because another employee is drowning out their voice. STAFF They were all nice. Greeted us and smiled. Like others, I have a problem with their food handling and personal hygiene. This is mainly because you can see everything that's going on with your food as you wait for it to be cooked. Of course, I'm sure if we could always see our food being prepared and passed around, then other restaurants would have lower reviews. But this is why guidelines are created and managers are paid. FOOD - Garlic strips ($2.97) - I'll pass on these since they were so thin and hardly flavorful. The "red sauce" (same stuff on the pizzas) is slightly chunky. Not spicy at all. - Mad dog ($8.27) - It's on the menu. Red sauce - again, NOT spicy at all. Pepperoni. Mild sausage. Ground beef. For such thin crust, this pizza was extremely greasy. I would not order this again. I mentioned that I would be sharing with my two toddlers. I'm sure they would have cut it into smaller pieces had I asked them, but it would have been nice if they had just considered writing that on the paper to begin with. Stingy with toppings? Yes. - Cappuccino Crunch shake ($3.77) - Fairly thick. Very sweet. The girl who made ours added plenty of toffee pieces. They only offer regular soda straws, just FYI. WAIT TIME From the moment we walked in until my name was called out, it took about 15 minutes to receive our order. This was on a fairly busy Friday evening at around 6:15. TIPS - online ordering is available - for even more insight, read Ruth T.'s review from 3/9/16 Review #456 '16 Challenge #19 read more

Sitting here watching the current supervisor/manager playing with her ponytail and removing hairs... It is all occuring while she's standing next to pizza that is possibly mine, I can't express how disgusting that is. Then she proceeds to handle the food with no gloves. Oh and at no point did she go to the restroom or back to wash her hands. First and last time I come here. Proceed with caution. read more

Good pizza anyway you like it. No name chocolate cake is good. 85 character review is Bull Shit!

I have eaten at this Mod many times. However, I visited on August 2nd and it was a complete nightmare! They had a deal through the app. Get a Mod size pizza for $4. I figured they would be busy so I ordered ahead using the app. I arrived 20 minutes later. It was not ready. My girlfriend got in line. She wanted a salad. The employee informed me it would be another 15 minutes. I inform my girlfriend that I am going to go get gas for the car. We are going to a concert later that night. I get gas, come back and my food is still not ready. I saw an employee walk out of the restaurant looking stressed. I was informed that he was the lead and turned off the oven. They did not know when my food would be ready. To get a refund, I had to wait until the manager got there. Everyone was stressed and frustrated. I decided to walk next door and get dinner at Chipotle next door. I never got my food and never got my money back. I will not be coming back anytime soon. read more

I ordered online 2 megas for take out. My order was perfect! Definitely satisfied my pregnancy cravings.

I have had lunch here several times now and MOD has become my favorite fast pizza place here in Downey. First of all there is no need to look at the menu, just order a MOD which is a custom pizza and go down the line with your pizza builder adding any and all toppings you'll enjoy. Once done they stick it in the oven and will be done in under ten minutes. The crust is thin and crispy yet still foldable if you enjoy folding a slice like I do. The toppings are great and pizza is an overall joy to eat which is why I keep coming back for lunch. Staff has been very friendly and I've had no issues while building the pizza or with service. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating too. If you come here for a good tasting fast custom pizza, you'll be happy. read more

MOD Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Downey, California

Honestly this place is a disgrace to the Mod Pizza franchise. First off the workers like to move at the same pace as a snail. There was only 3 people ahead of us yet it took us 15 minutes to order. We ordered a garden salad yet it only included lettuce and tomatoes. Might as well call it a lettuce and tomato salad. The pizza was at least decent which is why I gave it one star. I recommend that the owner should really consider firing all of their employees and starting from scratch. read more

The worst costumer service ever. They ignore you and do not make you feel welcomed. They look unhappy working for this company. Why hire miserable people?

Good pizza & the toppings options are abundant, but cleanliness of the dining area and tables is lacking.

Have been here 3 times and each time my pizza came out great. Most recent visit was the best and the employee took his time with my order and made suggestions, really enjoyed that and tipped because of it. Thank you appreciate the extra effort. Place was clean, service was fast (wasn't to busy), peppers and cheese rack by the soda was stocked up. No issues. Will visit again for my next trip to the movies. read more

Parking - can be kind of hard to find depending on the time. It's located in the Downey promenade which is packed with businesses. I went to pick up for lunch I should've known better it's a lot more active at lunch time then the normal hustle of the dinner rush. Location - very clean, air conditioned, lots of seating. Easy to read menu and all fresh ingredients right in front full display. Everything made right in front of you. Food/pricing- as my first visit I ordered online for lunch to make a quick pick up. I have gone another time to take my two younger yelpers. The ordering online was quick and easy. I tried the mad dog it was so yummy and good sizing of pizza. My kids have gotten the Maddy plain cheese and pepperoni. Of course picky pizza eaters they are the whole thing to my surprise. It's 11 inches each individual pizza. Second visit I tried the Calexico a nice kick and a different twist on a buffalo chicken ish pizza. Each pizza you can customize, unlimited toppings for the same price. Vegan options available. The best part is they have different drink options, limited beer selection, salads, dessert, bread and milkshakes. Need to Know - easy ordering online and over the phone. Serve beer and wine. Tuesday's draft beers are half off all day. If you upload the mod app you get points just for signing up but also rewards per order you make. read more

I visited the store on the evening of 8-2-2023 I placed my order and I could see they were very busy but no one was making an effort to try to catch up. It took a about 10 minutes for someone to take my payment which i should have walked out at that moment but like I said they were busy and I tried to be patient. While waiting for my Order i then could she the cluster fuck these employees were in, they were bombed with orders and walk ins clearly they were short staff and in need of help, people were upset about their food. As for me I waited a whole hour just to receive my food I planned on just getting a refund but I overheard someone els asking for a refund and being told they can't refund without a manager being there. The employees had no communication between each other no communication with the customers just a mess no organization what's so ever and that I believe contribute to them getting bombed with orders. Definitely will not be returning to this location and parking is a mess as well . read more

Pizza is delicious no doubt , went in today for my son's fundraiser, upon assembling my pizza, the female employees were super helpful and the male employee purposely would ignore what toppings I wanted just to pass my pizza down. I didn't get his name, but he didn't even let me choose my cheese. He just started putting it before. I could even tell him what I wanted. That was annoying. read more

Since my initial review two years ago, my husband and I continue to visit MOD Pizza but not as often as before. More so due to other food options available in the area than anything else. It's conveniently located in the Promenade at Downey by the theatre. A good place to pick up a meal to enjoy while watching a movie. read more

This was my first time at MOD Pizza and I was more than pleasantly surprised. What seems like another fast food chain actually delivers excellent thin crust Pizza. I ordered the Tristan with additional Chicken Topping. Despite not containing any red sauce it was anything else than dry. Juicy, Crispy, and overall tasty. The service is extremely fast and I had my Pizza within 6 minutes after ordering. Friendly staff and trendy interior. read more

MOD Pizza - Classic Tristan Pizza with additional Chicken Topping - Pizza Near Me - Downey, California

This makes me sad because I really do not like leaving bad reviews at all! I was so disappointed when I walked into this location! The workers were not friendly at all and didn't not even say hello or even make eye contact or smile. When I was finally able to order the worker said "are you ready what can I get started for you?" And I replied "yes may I please get a.." and she said wait a minute I need new gloves and I'm not ready yet. Okay then why did you ask me ?? Not even bringing up that her stomach was on the counter where the food was being made and was starting to touch my pizza but I stayed quite and just ordered. And when I finally got my pizza is was burnt. If I wasn't in such a hurry I would have sent it back took a bite and tossed it I was so annoyed. Sadly don't think I will be back and will spend my money else where. :/ read more

MOD Pizza - Burnt pizza - Pizza Near Me - Downey, California

Needed a quick bite and decided on a pizza. Walked right in and got in line. The person helping me was very nice and helpful. he asked if I have been there before and broke down the ordering process which was very helpful. After looking over all the ingredients I began to build my pizza. Mod Pizza is a build it your self pizza joint that are always very fun to go to and you always get what you want. Pizza - Started with the crust adding a marinara sauce. Added cheese and some gorgonzola cheese as well. Pepperoni, sausage, onions, mushrooms and some garlic was then added. Topped it off with some asiago cheese I believe and some garlic butter around the crust to give it a nice richness. Takes a couple minutes to cook and they call you out by your name for pick up. For drinks they have a lot to choose from especially their teas, They have many different flavors. Crispy and hot just right out of the oven. Great flavor and such a good crust. Will definitely be going back when wanting a pizza on the run. read more

MOD pizza doesn't do much that deviates from all the other build your own pizza concepts. Their crust is done pretty well - thin and crispy and doesn't get all soggy even if you load it up with veggies. Portion-wise: it feels slightly smaller than Blaze. I do have to say that their homemade blackberry lemonade is DELICIOUS. As a frugal person, I rarely purchase drinks at dining establishments but will make an exception at MOD. It does make my overall lunch a bit pricier since I prefer to not spend over $10 for lunch (~$9 for the pizza, ~$2 for drink). Staff is really friendly but the wait can be kinda long during the lunch rush. read more

My partner and I decided to stop here during our limited meal break, and we were not disappointed! Walking in, the assistant manager (Andrew I think) greeted us and helped us choose our options. The entire staff was super helpful, and after working behind the counter the assistant manager was out wiping tables and chairs with bleach to keep the place clean, all while being friendly to customers. Will definitely be coming back! read more

when I first got to the restaurant I thought it was just like Blaze but a little messier and fewer ingredients but when I ordered my pizza and ate them I was so surprised by how good their dough was, I think lighter than blaze and the cheese was better too. Overall impressed by their pizza and would definitely go back if I happen to be in the area. read more

Made On Demand, that's what MOD stands for. The basic idea is the same as all the other build your owns out there: choose your toppings, and slap it on a pie. MODify if yourself, if you will. It's a good addition to the new businesses that have been popping up in Downey. How do they set themselves aside from other fast custom pizza places? They offer thin crust only. Their regular 11" pizza is about $8, and you can put whatever you like on it. I like how they offer gluten free and dairy free options, because people with different dietary restraints want to enjoy pizza too! The toppings they offer are pretty standard with other places such as Pieology. They do offer some interesting dips/finishes though, most notably Sri-Rancha (yes, that is Sriracha ranch) and balsamic fig glaze. My only gripe was that they are a bit stingy with their toppings...but it tasted great and didn't have too little. I also tried their garlic strips ($2.97), which are served with red sauce, pesto, ranch, or sri-rancha. I don't really recommend these, because I like thick garlic bread, not these sad pieces of crust with some garlic sprinkled on top. I also had a MODshake ($3.77), and you can choose however many mix-ins you want. It was delightfully thick and delicious. I approve! This is not my favorite custom pie place, but it does fill in that niche for thin crust custom pizza. Workers are bubbly and energetic, and the music they play is great. Definitely worthy of a visit if you are close to the area, but they don't set themselves too far apart from Pieology and the like, so don't go far out of your way.

New and up coming pizza spot. The location is also in a new and up coming plaza, there are very few stores open in this plaza because it is still in the process of being built but it is looking amazing. Parking here is easy, lots of open parking spots. The MOD is such a cool and hip pizza place, this location is defiantly new and very modern. Walking in you get a great vibe with cool photos on the wall, nice seating areas (indoor & outdoor), good music playing, and a cool team greeting you. The menu is posted on the wall for you to order off of or you can have them build your own pizza with what you like. The pizza crust are all at a set price for the different sizes and the toppings are all you can choose and unlimited :) Everything looks very fresh and clean. The staff was so cool, very friendly and patient, epically seeing that it was our first time here. The team took there time explaining to us how the ordering works and even went to tell us all the toppings they have (big selection). They have a wide selection of drinks and also a few beers on tap and bottle. We sat outside to enjoy the nice weather and a team member brought our food to the table :) Go ahead and check out the photos... Enjoy! read more

Me and my mom ate here the other day. It was my first time ever at a MOD Pizza. It was pretty cool, a little loud, but not too bad at first. I ordered the Lucy Sunshine pizza and added some olives. When I asked about the dollops of red sauce the lady told me they were added after the pizza came out of the over, which was fine. I also ordered the garlic strips with red sauce. So far so good, everyone seemed friendly. Then when I got my order the first thing was I was given ranch instead of red sauce, even though red sauce was clearly marked on the paper it was sitting on. No big deal, I gave back the ranch and asked for the red sauce. But my pizza was slightly burned and was also missing my dollops of red sauce they told me it came with. When I asked the lady at the finishing counter for it she looked downright annoyed at me. She didn't say a word, just gave me this scathing look, took my pizza, and put the dollops, as if it was my fault my pizza wasn't right. No apology, no "Ok, no problem." Not a word at all. Just that scathing angry look. I know it's a new location and all....but when the pizza is marked as something, you'd expect the employees to know if something was missing off of it or not... Needless to say, with this being my first experience at a MOD Pizza, I most likely won't be coming back... read more

MOD Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Downey, California

Great that MOD is expanding all over the area. This new location is already running well, very friendly staff that knows what they are doing. It can get pretty busy here and it does take a bit longer than other create your own pizza places. What I love here that makes them stand out is that not only can you create our own pizza or salad with as many toppings as you like for a set price, but they have a larger selection of toppings as well as different pizza and salad sizes. The largest, a double crust, is a bit odd, the same size as standard, just two crust on top of each other, interesting to try, just not worth getting again. Very good quality, both the salad and pizza are well worth getting again, very much loved our meals here, perfect for kids and picky eaters as well! read more

I can't say enough how awesome the customer service was on both occasions that we visited. Got a hello from an employee outside before I entered and also from the staff once inside. A little confused about the ordering system, the girl behind the counter quickly explained. Two sizes of pizzas are offered along with a variety of toppings and my fav, veggie cheese. The crust was thin and crispy and loved the fact that they also had chicken sausage. Drink options are also pretty good and they serve alcohol here. Overall, the place has a great vibe and good pizza. I'll be back! Yelp challenge #10 read more

Ever been to Blaze? Pieology? Well, MOD is the same type of Pizza joint. Choose your dough, sauce, cheese and add any or all the toppings you like. It's then baked and ready to eat within minutes. Very cool concept but unfortunately, there's nothing really that differentiates MOD from Blaze or Pieology. If you've eaten at one, you're pretty much guaranteed the same experience. It's not that this is a bad thing. The pizzas were good and it makes for a nice and quick place to grab a bite during lunch time. The seating area is nice and open and it almost mirrors that of Blaze. With that there's nothing much to add really. It's really just an A-OK place to grab a quick bite. read more

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. The customer service was great however the food itself was bland. I dislike how sparse the toppings were and how I had to ask several times for extra this and extra that for my pizza to be acceptable (if you don't then its basically a cheese pizza that accidentally had some other ingredient fall in it). It just ended up looking like your average pizza in terms of the amount of toppings placed on it; the crust is also much too thin. Other things that made my experience there sub par was realizing NONE of their employees had hair nets on! I found it gross to see dirty, messy hair barely held back by elastics and fall out stuck on backs (I'm looking at you, pink hair & reddish pony tail). Those with short hair wore it freely with no hat. What if the hair falls into my food? I'm not a cat. I'm not supposed to poop hair. When eating here be sure to bring a sweater unless you intend to preserve yourself via cryogenics. & Don't worry, your pizza will freeze with you. I'll stick to Blaze Pizza where they have spicey marinara sauce and load your pizza up as if you were going quest only never to be seen again (everyone knows it but you). read more
