With great freedom comes the tools for both good and evil. I've had the longstanding habit of selecting as many ingredients as possible at fast-casual-customization places like this. My first few orders were more or less, everything on it, only being selective with sauces. I enjoyed them, but the sheer amount of sin from olives, chorizo, anchovies, pineapple, pesto, broccoli, and more, swishing through my mouth in a singular bite, became too much to handle, even for someone as disgusting as I (I've eaten a three day old fish sandwich that I forgot was in my car. Score!) Now, I'm a man of refined taste, MODifying my pizza with cultured precision. Just now, I effortlessly placed an order online for a Charlie Hawaiian. So bacon, ham, pineapple, yes, what you'd expect, but chilli red sauce, garlic rub, bell pepper, tomato chunks, mushroom, onion, artichoke, heck pepperoni to be a little dangerous. Hardcore Hawaiian. Continental Charlie. RSD (Red Sauce Dollops) all day. A little moisture on top never done anyone wrong. As I took my first bite, I wondered if there was such a thing as inappropriate garlic, or too much, as I'd learn can in fact be the case with anchovies. Alas, it all came together. 10/10 Charlie Creation. To my mentally unstable homies, bonus points for painless pickup. Anything that lets you avoid or minimize human interaction is an automatic awesome. How I envy SoCal Taqueria drive-thrus... read more

MOD Pizza - Thick crust, Chilli red sauce & regular, mozzarella & parm, and what you can make out of it. Hardcore Hawaiian. RSD. - Pizza Near Me - Pinole, California

Yummy! I like the fact that for one price you can build your own pizza. They're not gouging you charging $30 for a medium pizza it's ridiculous. For 30 bucks a household could essentially each get specifically what they want. No more compromising on pizza. Quality is good ingredients are fresh. I also like that now they have like a pizza of the month read more

MOD Pizza - Wayne - Pizza Near Me - Pinole, California

I feel bad leaving such a low review, cus I love MOD. But These guys are a stain on the MOD chain! Terrible service. They took forever! Manager was in the back on the phone while there was no pizzas in the oven and like 15 waiting to go in! I guess don't go to MOD when you're in Pinole.. read more

The chipotle of pizzas. Instead of getting fat burritos, get yourself a delicious, fat pizza! The toppings are unlimited! No extra fees for a particular topping. How awesome is that? You start off by choosing the size of your pizza. The 6-inch one is $4.87. Next size up is 11-inch for $8.87. And if you like your dough thick, you can get the mega for $10.87. The size is still 11-inch. I got the 11-inch because I wanted to pile my pizza up with toppings, but the 6-inch would have been filling for me. Next you choose your toppings. Get a bit of everything! Get your money's worth. They have some classic pizzas on the menu if you don't want to custom your pizza, but where's the fun in that? I asked for my pizza extra crispy because I like my pizza crunchy. Initially, I was scared they were going to burn it, but it came out great! Hot and crispy. Yummmm. It was about a 15 minute wait before my pizza was ready. When I went to pick up my pizza at the counter, they offer me some sauces on the side. I got pesto! The pizza was so good that I wanted to eat the whole thing. I was full after I had half, but somehow managed to stuff another quarter of the pizza into me. I would definitely come back here for more great pizza. read more

MOD Pizza - My custom pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Pinole, California

The staff is friendly and the pizza is good. My only concern is how some staff wear hairnets and others don't. While standing in line, I saw a staff member make several pizzas without a hairnet on. Thankfully a new staff member came out the back with a hairnet on and assisted us. I asked the manager why is that and she said the previous shift manager must not have enforced it but will speak with the staff member when they returned from lunch. The manager was very nice and receptive to my comments and agreed that no one wants hair in their food. Other than that, the pizza is consistently good and staff are always friendly. read more

First time at a MOD pizza and it was great. Loved being able to pick my own toppings - any number of them too. Perfect for the three of us - one being very particular about her toppings.. read more

I recently placed an order online at MOD Pizza in Pinole for a pickup. I ordered 2 MOD pizzas, which typically only take 15 minutes. Tonight they gave me an hour wait time. No big deal, since I knew ahead of time... I arrived at the Pinole location where I had my order placed, I went to the pick up counter and asked for my order, and the employee said it was going to be another 10 minutes. So I waited 10 minutes, then another 10 minutes, then another 10 minutes, and my name was still not called. I went back up to the counter to ask how much longer it would be, as my order had now been 40 minutes late. They assured me it would only be about 5 more minutes. Another 15 minutes goes by, and again, I go up and ask how much longer it was going to be because I had been there for almost an hour and was going to be late. They apologized and said that, in fact, my order wasn't even in the oven yet. So I had to leave without my order. This was a waste of my gas, my time, and was a huge letdown for my autistic brother and goddaughter, whom I ordered the pizzas for. If an order isn't going to be ready until 2 hours after it's placed, so be it... but they should not be telling their customers that an order will be ready at a certain time, and then make them wait another HOUR after they come in to pick it up. AND... their employees certainly shouldn't be paying more attention to rearranging tickets and talking to customers more than they are paying attention to the pizzas in the oven, I'm sure that's why they were so behind. I even sent customer support a message about this situation, and all they said was that they would tell operations about the situation. Didn't offer me anything to make it right, didn't even seem like they cared. I will seriously re-think ever going back to a MOD pizza ever again after this experience. read more

From the Beginning I feel in Love with MOD Pizza The Staff MOD Pizza In Pinole had from the Beginning was Awesome I stopped going like 2 1/2 yrs ago due to there change in there Management "Allie" I stopped going! And went to the one all the way in Alameda and in El Cerrito when it opened "More Friendlier", When I found out that Manager "Allie" was gone, I went back to Pinole I love the Staff they have now, the Young Men there are very Friendly and Courteous all the staff are Amazing that's how I remember MOD Pizza being in the Beginning when they first Opened. I also took my Uncle and he can't stop going! He loves MOD Pizza and Travels 20 miles just to go. Thank you and Thank you for all the Staff Awesomeness read more

I love the freshness of the pizza and can't believe you can add meat to salads at no additional cost. What?! The staff here are courteous and kind. I love taking my friends here to enjoy hot and fast pizza read more

It's been awhile since my family and I have been here because of how nasty it's gotten! The quality of the food has gone down since they've first opened to now. However since it's been almost a year since we have last been here, we decided to try it again thinking that things may have gotten better. But boy was I wrong. I understand things are hard with Covid and now we are fully opened again. But cmon. This is a picture of the floor when I went it's 9:45pm when they close at 11! Someone was already cleaning the counter, and when i say cleaning i mean the cleaning just included a wet rag, no kind of cleaning solution or anything. I used to work in food so I know how this goes. So sad and so gross. I'd rather travel a little further and go to Pieology to get better quality pizza, service and a cleaner environment. So sad. On the bright side, my pizza looks good. Haven't tried it yet. read more

MOD Pizza - Disgusting floors - Pizza Near Me - Pinole, California

Where do you go when you're in the mood for a pizza at 930pm? MOD of course! I wish I was in NY for a thin slice of pizza! Just as good as NY is MOD pizza! I love how I can customize my own pizza (yeesss to pineapple!!) or select one of their signature ones. One thing I see beneficial about this pandemic is how efficient everything seems to be running. I ordered online and was able to pick up my pizza in 15mins!! Boom - it was that quick!!! While I love me some carbs, I got the cauliflower crust this time. Talk about amazing option! They also have gluten free as well. Great peeps and service at this location! Will be back soon. read more

I always order via the app for pickup, so this review does not apply to dining in the restaurant. The last few app orders have just not gone well. They've been ready long after the pickup time posted on the app. My order tonight, consisting of four pizzas and a free cake, was stolen off their mobile order shelf! They had to make the whole order over, which is of course appreciated, but I was forced to wait for another twenty minutes, effectively killing the pizza night vibe at home while the fam waited in limbo. I was always dubious about the Pinole mobile order shelf and the honor system, and how it's not really monitored once the pizzas are shelved and the only employee nearby is the pizza chef who's always busy shifting pizzas in the oven, and cutting and boxing them. Pizza seems way more tempting than the Starbucks mobile orders sitting on their counter, for example. Plus, Pinole as a town/city is kinda going downhill these days. Not the quaint place it once was. The restaurant needs to review the prep and cook times again so folks don't have to wait when they arrive at the time posted in the app, and they definitely need to rethink their mobile order shelf. I get they're really busy - especially with inflation making their pizza a relatively good deal - and the staff is always nice and accommodating, but their formula is obviously not working anymore at this location. Logically, they should adapt, revise, and transform to better serve customers. I hope they work it out because I like their food. read more

The pizza was ok. I ordered a thick crust and the crust was surprisingly thin. The crust was thick at the edges witch doesn't really count. Notice the pictures I posted that the crust is white and barely cooked and not blackened like many other peoples pictures posted. There was nothing impressive with the taste. It did not taste bad. I ordered through the app and had a horrible experience. A perk for first time app users get a optional cake but the app would just say not available even though it would also say the reward was available. The app did not say DoorDash was used as delivery until after the order was place. I always wanted to give them a try and so I finally did. I will not be returning as a customer. I found the business to be all around deceptive, offering this and then giving you that. read more

I ordered and they dropped my pizza box and continued to serve me sloppy pizza, doesn't look pretty.. hope it taste better than it looks.. next time you decide to serve people your food at least tell them you dropped their order or the pizza slid cause your customers expect a good presentation as well. At least tell the person and a discount wouldn't hurt. What did you expect me to do pretend it looks sloppy.. this is poor handling and poor care of customers items. read more

MOD Pizza - Tell me would you eat this.... looks like i have no choice huh.. - Pizza Near Me - Pinole, California

The service is awful. The employees really act like they don't want to be there. The acknowledgment when someone comes in is not there and they are always running behind on their orders. It's been more than 20min and I've yet to receive my online order. Company needs to hire motivated people that hustle and move with a sense of purpose. Store cleanliness is not the best. That goes for most restaurants in the area. read more

Good service . Good veggies to add on salad. Easy with kids. Worth visiting fro time to Time especially for gluten free pizzas read more

The service here has went down hill. I'm surprised they are still open. They prepared a pizza that is something I did not ordered. The employees were either listening to music or distracted on their phones. They need to watch what their doing or else they will cross contaminate everything and get people's orders wrong. The employee was a female and a male. I don't think I'll ever go back to mod's. Blaze pizza and pieology are still top tier to me. read more

MOD Pizza - I asked for everything but the employee was too distracted by their phones that they forgot to add veggies! - Pizza Near Me - Pinole, California

Love MOD, however if you place an online order it won't be ready by the time it says. I've waited 30 minutes to an hour PAST my scheduled pick up time. I know things happen and they get buys but this is not the first time. They really need a better system for online orders. Very disappointing. read more

I ordered the Mega Dough Lucy Sunshine with added sausage and Canadian Bacon as well as an Oreo milkshake and vanilla milkshake . I sent my husband to pick it up. Shortly after his arrival I started getting texts from him due to some complications. They said they had no milkshakes. What? But I ordered it online. When he got back home, he reiterated that they did not have milkshakes and that the cashier guy had said that he could replace the milkshakes with two large fountain drinks, saying they were the same price. I checked online - um, no they're not. We opened the pizza box to see what we got. Maybe the pizza would at least be good? Um - no, not really. Absolutely no trace of red sauce and it just looked kind of sad, to be honest. And thick crust? Sure, if thick meant a centimeter. This was our first time to this location and it was disappointing - they said they would refund the order, but we have to call them back to follow through with that. Negative points for their trying to replace the milkshakes with the sodas and claiming that they are the same price, as well as a disappointing pizza that lacked flavor and red sauce. I don't write poor reviews for businesses, but this one takes the cake - or in this case, the pie. My husband just called and they said they completely refunded the order, but we'll have to check the account later. Dramatic le sigh. End disappointing rant. read more

MOD Pizza - ?????????? No milkshakes available and red sauce nowhere to be seen. - Pizza Near Me - Pinole, California

The food is always great, how can you mess up Pizza. But I have to admit the customer service I received from Trapps K. was the BEST. And to me that is what makes the difference. I had an issue with them from a few weeks before, nothing to do with the food or service, only that they closed early, so when I got there they were not making any more pizza. So I made a trip for nothing. Well this is where GOOD customer service kicks in, the gentleman recognized me from that visit, pulled me aside and apologized for the inconvenience, explained what had happened that day, and treated me to lunch. WOW I was NOT expecting that. Trapps needs to lead all the business in the city of Pinole and teach them what it means to provide GOOD customer service. read more

We really like ordering pizza from here! Everyone can get their own, so there's no fighting. We can even get a mini pizza for our toddler, or I can order traditional thick crust. And the toppings are pretty endless, it's awesome. As far as drinks go, I lovvvve the fresh lemonades they have (but they haven't had them available during COVID, sadly). And get the No Name cake for dessert! It's like a hostess ding-dong and really tasty. read more

I want to give this a higher rating but this is really difficult to categorize. This place is like a sandwich shop and also similar to how Chipotle works. They start with a crust (the size of two that you can choose) and you tell them which sauce, cheese, and other ingredients you want. Apparently, the price is $5.27 for a mini, which is the size of an appetizer. The price was the same for each of the pizzas we ordered, even though we didn't have the same ingredients. I would assume that any number of ingredients get the same price. Doesn't that sound great? As friendly as they were, they barely put anything on the pizza--even sauce was very, very skimpy. They had a variety of drinks, including decent iced tea, and Marion Blackberry Lemonade. Nothing was really wrong, but we left hungry. It was good, but there wasn't enough. $7.99 for a good amount of toppings and somewhat thicker crust would have been appreciated. We could have got the bigger crust but it wouldn't have helped skimpy portions. If you go to Carl's Jr. for a burger, there is a lot of food, and you don't even need fries. This was just...not enough. read more

My friends and I decided to come here for dinner one night & I was very satisfied with the visit. At first, I thought, "oh thin slices...." But actually, the pizzas were very good! Each one of us got a personal pizza to ourselves, and they were really huge. This place has many selections to choose from; it's actually quite overwhelming. LOL Prices are very reasonable. The place is pretty spacious too. Can't wait to go again in the near future. read more

MOD Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pinole, California

Mod Pizza seems to be everywhere. The chance to join a local lunch meetup group finally was the motivation to come here. Even though most reviewers seem to like the pizza I expected to hate it; however, surprise I really enjoyed my lunch. No matter how many toppings you have on your pizza the price is the same. There are quite a few selections, not as much as many places have, but they do have my favorites: anchovies, garlic, pepperoni and olives. The thin pizza crust is perfect. The line moves quickly, by the time I got to the register it was almost ready. Until recently the pizza parlor nearer to me offered American Airline Dine miles and I do like their pizza more than Mod, but I have added them to my pizza rotation list. read more

In town yesterday to find that there was a MOD pizza here. What could I do? It's pretty cheap and it's pretty tasty plus the kids I was with have never tried it before. Options upon options just like the one in Brentwood. Choose what kind of meat you want, what kind of veggies you want, what kind of cheese you want, what kind of sauce you want, etc. Don't want to deal with bread? Make your own salad. There are three different sizes to choose from. And if you can't make up your mind, there are pizzas with great names like the Tristan, that have set ingredients in it. Drinks? Pffff. Water. Or go for a soda. OR get yourself a milkshake. I went for the Oreo milkshake. Vanilla with cookies or chocolate with cookies? There's an option for that?! I find that this location is much better than the Brentwood one. The service was top class. Nice people, warm attitudes, and apt knowledge of their food. Speaking of which, the toppings looked a bit fresher, and they added a good serving with me only asking for one extra serving instead of multiple times in Brentwood. Oooh, I went through the line quicker. The taste was better too. It wasn't greasy, it wasn't too crunchy, and it hit the spot. I think I found the right amount of toppings mixed in. I got pesto sauce and some red sauce to start it off. Jalapeños (super spicy) and some spinach. Sausage was added. The regular kind. I was a little hesitant to add the other kinds. After it was cooked in the oven I had them add extra pesto on top. MAGNIFICENT. A better location with lovely people to satisfy the need for some tasty pizza. read more

I liked it! Landed from Los Angeles, jumped on the Bart, got picked up by Hubbers at my stop and drove straight here. We were both newbies, so we took our time with the menu. Wasn't busy at all - we might have just missed the dinner rush. We both agreed on the garlic twists and a bowl of the chicken cesar salad. Hubbers got the mad dog and tweaked it the way he wanted it. I built my own: garlic rub with red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, spicy Italian sausage, bacon, ground beef, salami, Canadian bacon, artichokes, red onions, mushrooms, black olives, roasted garlic, anchovies. I had mine finished with pesto drizzle. Hubbers topped his with some self-served condiments and spices. To-go, please?! Got home and food was pretty hot still. Packaging was pretty good, they really held everything well. The garlic twists are nothing more than their pizza dough rubbed with fresh crushed garlic, oil and seasoning. Threw it in the oven for a quick bake - just long enough to get that crisp. Came with a side of ranch. The dressing on the Caesar salad was surprisingly good! I expected it to be just "okay" but it was pretty kick-ass! The chicken was moist and flavorful. The croutons did the job of being good sidekicks. I would highly recommend this! (NOTE: I took some anchovies off my pizza and added it here and made it better! Would recommend having that added if anchovies are your thing.) My pizza - with as many toppings as it had - was also cooked well. The crust was thin and crispy through and through. All the toppings complimented each other quite well (for MY taste, at least.) Staff goofed around a bit with each other while prepping our orders, but they got the job done. They didn't lag on anything - as goofy as they were, they were pretty attentive and friendly. I was impressed. Will most likely return. read more

I've been coming to this Mods location for a while and lately there service has gone down hill. There snail-like pace can really be annoying and it seems like they don't care about the customer build up. They all look like it's the first time working and have no clue where any of the ingredients are at. I really would climb over the glass and starts building my own pizza. Not only do the workers bring a low energy vibe but they don't keep there area sanitized. Do better MODs. read more

I think my family eats here almost every week (so guilty). I didn't understand the concept when I first came here, but it's basically a Subway/Chipotle style pizza joint. There are menu combinations on the wall, but you basically build your own pizza with whatever sauces and AS MANY toppings as you want. Prices are only determined by the size you get (mini, MOD and mega). Mini is good for a kid, MOD for a really hungry adult and mega for two adults. The crust is thin and ingredients pretty fresh. If you're a first timer and still don't get the system, just ask. All the employees are pretty cool and friendly. One thing I've never seen is the pizza salad item. It's a salad (still your choice of greens and mix-ins) on top of a MOD crust. If you get in, I'd recommend putting pesto and garlic on the crust before they bake it. Yum! They also offer their own lemonades and ice teas, in addition to the standard fountain sodas. My hubby loves the caramelized pear iced tea, and I usually go for the berry lemonade. Overall, it's a great go-to for a quick, freshly made and relatively inexpensive family dinner. read more

Takes forever. ordered online said it would be ready in an hour. Hour and a half later wasn't started til arrival. Then one pizza came out 20minutes ahead and they were waiting to fire off the second one. I am furious. I can't believe this place is serving people 40 min after we ordered. What a waste of time the employees can't hand this job. So dumb such a disappointment. Won't come back. There is no structure to this operation and is a joke. They can't handle more than one pizza at a time. read more
