Oh Gee! It's MOD! Pizza Time! Pizza Time!
Quality
Fresh ingredients are a must for me when it comes to a 'build your own' style of any type of restaurant, and MOD takes care of this. From the fresh thin dough to the toppings of fresh vegetables, I was very happy with the assortment and the quality. The taste did allow me to agree with what I saw in the making process as well. From the first bite to the last, I was happy with the quality of the dough and the ingredients I hand selected.
Quantity
On my first visit I ordered the small size 'build your own,' and as I figured, this was perfect for me. I saw many others eating the larger 'medium' size and though I am sure I could have tackled such a beast, I left the restaurant satiated and well. So yes, quantity for what you order based on differences in sizes is there. If you opt for the larger size pies, you surely will receive a nice quantity.
Value
The value depends on the size pie you order of course. For me, ordering and enjoying the small size, for the price charged, I was mildly feeling it. A competitor restaurant that does the exact same 'build your own' style pizza, has a Tuesday special for a similar price and the quantity is much more. For this, I cannot fully agree that the value is there at MOD. I would say though that for the regular price of the larger pies, being able to build your own and add as much as possible atop the dough, would make for a great value.
Ambiance
The mood and ambiance at MOD in Parkland is about what I had expected. Part family friendly and part young and energetic. The music was an alternative buzz from the late 90s to mid-2000s and that was cool for me. The workers were fast, friendly and accommodating. I am a very picky eater and the workers had zero hesitation in modifying to make vegan pizza exactly as I wanted it
Crowd
The crowd was families, young adult and couples. This made for a nice setting and mood on a Sunday evening. There were not any rowdy tables full of kids and the volume was easy to carry a conversation over and with. The area of Parkland of course does bring out the best and this was apparent at MOD.
Service
As mentioned in the ambiance area, the service was top notch. Each guest is greeted as they walk in and the team of workers goes fast to keep the line moving. They are young, smiling and full of life teenagers and young adult working themselves up a sweat and ready to serve you. I tip my hat to folks who can stand for such a long time in a single spot as so many of these team members would be required to do.
Parking
Since MOD is in an attached strip mall, it is shared with a few other restaurants and businesses. This does not though create too much of a hassle since different business seem to peak at different times. I would think during a lunch rush parking could be an issue, but on a Sunday evening when I was with my family, parking was a breeze.
Extra
Though I would have to admit I would prefer the competition that I am more accustom to when 'build your own' pizza is on the mind, I did thoroughly enjoy MOD and when in the Parkland area, would like to try it again, to even bump up my rating. Having said that, all was well and the team did not do anything wrong, everything was well. I simply would prefer other options where perhaps the dough is a bit plumper and more of my liking. Keep it up still, MOD; you have a great thing going. SYOY! read more
