I had points that were going to expire in a couple of days, and since I happened to be in Rolling Hills Estates to catch a movie, I figured I could stop by this MOD Pizza to see how it compares to the other locations I've been to before. The Long Beach location is closest to me, and it's been a pretty solid location in the ~8 years it has been there save for a couple of pretty bad experiences. This location in Rolling Hills Estates is in Peninsula Shopping Center on the southwest corner of Hawthorne and Silver Spur. It's a pretty large shopping center over there, but just know that MOD Pizza is directly across from Pavilions. With MOD Pizza Rewards, the best reward is a free menu item for 150 points; this is because the free menu item includes a Mega Thick Crust Pizza or a Mega Salad, both of which can feed at least 2 people. From my experience with salads at the Long Beach and Downey locations, I can agree that a Mega Salad can feed 2 people, but here's a hot tip I'll bury in this review if you're still reading: you can request for your salad to be prepared in a stainless bowl. That way, the salad doesn't come out layered, and *if you're lucky*, a Mega Salad can actually get you more than 2 meals worth of salad, which comes in handy if you want to bring lunch to work the next 2 days. You can also ask for croutons and dressing on the side as well as a couple of empty MOD-size bowls to go with your Mega Salad. This is one thing I like to do to meal prep for the week ahead. Notice how I encompassed the prepositional, yet also conditional, phrase with asterisks? Keep on reading. I arrived at about 5 PM on a Sunday, and there was just one customer waiting in line to order, though he was also looking at the menu while waiting for his turn. I still had to wait about 5 additional minutes even though they had ample staff working that day; I guess they were also busy with online orders that were coming through? But even during my wait, one of the employees erroneously and prematurely said he was ready to serve me when he actually wasn't, thus pulling my leg and making me wait even longer. When it was my turn, I asked a different employee if I could get a Mega Salad prepared in a stainless bowl. However, he interpreted that as my ordering for here and eating my salad inside when I wanted to order to go. After some back and forth, he finally understood what I meant and started to prepare my salad. I like ordering most every topping on my MOD salads with the exception of artichokes and anchovies. I also asked for croutons on the side, but instead of fetching a small plastic container, he put the croutons in a water cup and sealed it with plastic wrap. Like, really? Not very professional looking if you ask me. For the dressings, he did ask if I wanted them on the salad or on the side; I requested on the side. I asked for three different vinaigrettes, and he got one of each for me initially until I asked for a second cup of each to go with my salad, which was no problem at all. He didn't seem like he wanted to be working on that Sunday evening as he pretty much exhibited a monotonic facial expression while building my salad. Also, I noticed that he had immense trouble fitting my salad into the container, so he pretty much had to shove the salad as far inside as he could so he could secure the lid on top. At first, I thought that because I requested most every topping in my salad, he built my salad to the maximum portion size possible. Not the case here, unfortunately. When I got home, I noticed that the Mega Salad I had asked for was actually a MOD-size salad! I could tell because I compared the salad bowl with the size of the empty bowls I requested, and all three bowls were exactly the same size! As a result, the salad I received didn't fully fill the two MOD-size containers, so I got much less salad than I expected. So in essence, I used my free pizza/salad reward on a MOD-size salad when it would have worked on a Mega Salad as well. You can imagine how much unhappier I would have been had I actually paid for a Mega Salad only to get a MOD Salad instead. Even though it's only a $2 difference, it's a significantly much larger difference in portion size. With all these aforementioned shortcomings, I almost thought about giving 2 stars without even trying the salad, but I'll award the third star because the salad tasted great when I saved it for lunch the following day and even the day after! I just wish I didn't have to cook dinner when I got home because I was already planning on saving the salad for lunch those next two days. If their salads are any indication of how good their pizzas are, I'd totally make a return visit if I lived in or around the area. Unfortunately, I don't really have much reason to return to Rolling Hills Estates, so I doubt I'll return to this location.
The good: This is like the Chipotle of pizzas. Your pizza is made to order and you can point at the ingredients you want on your pizza and watch as they make it. There were tons of meat, veggie and cheese options as well as drizzles and other sauces. Drinks are self-serve as well as utensils. I got a drink (Marion blackberry lemonade), pepperoni pizza and a veggie pizza 6" each for under $30. This is the 2nd Mod Pizza I've been to and the layout is pretty similar in both. I love that the pizza is made to order and you can see them stretch out the dough, add the toppings and pop the pizza in the oven in front of you. The texture of the pizza was just how I liked it. I like the thinner crust. I like how you can fold the pizza without it being floppy and I liked the dough bubbles created inside from when it cooked. Mt veggie pizza had slices of tomato (diced tomato is an option too), roasted corn, red onion and fresh basil. The fresh basil was ::chef's kiss:: magnifique. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, they played music like Weezer. Our order was brought out to our booth for a dine-in experience. They have signature pizza options that are pre-built if you don't want to build your own. They also have different crust options. The workers there were quick. They offer salads and catering as well. The bad: It was kind of cold inside with a/c blowing pretty hard. It isn't cheap. The interesting: My 4 year old finished her entire 6" pizza. They have cookies as dessert too.
Mod and blaze pizza are chains that offer subway sandwich like food models- you can "personalize" the pizza as you go along the counter. The pizzas are super thin and they cool fast The staff seemed universally friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating Lots of families and kids Note: no utensils. You eat with your hands
We like MOD which is similar to Blaze and other fresh cooked to order in less than 10 minutes thin crust pizza parlor chains. Our pizza was delicious! The service was quick and parking is easy.
MOD Pizza at Peninsula Center is always a great experience! The staff is friendly, welcoming, and keeps everything moving quickly, even when they're busy. The pizza was fresh, loaded with toppings, and cooked perfectly with a crispy crust. I really appreciate how customizable everything is, and the restaurant was clean with a great atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite spots when I'm craving pizza. Highly recommend if you're in the area!
Love the concept which is similar to all the custom, make-your-own pizza places. I chose the recommended Calexico ingredient combo the first time I came here. The menu had different offerings the following visit, so I tried the Carnivore which I also enjoyed. This pizza is so delicious. Their dessert, a Ding Dong-esque snack cake have to say is so much better than the original waxy snack cake from my childhood. Will be back with my fam to try the other flavor combos. Strip mall parking. Great service too. read more

Not sure how to feel about this place. First time here and the staff were actually very nice. We placed our order and the employee was very polite and accommodated everything we requested. The price was okay I guess but the pizza was a little smaller than I thought. My only one-off is that the dough was undercooked. We had already left the premises and didn't know until we got home and started eating it. It was still doughy inside. I would have liked it to be more cooked and everything else started to slide off. It was messy! read more

About twenty years ago, restaurants specializing in mass customization of pizzas became a thing. A lot of entrants in the category came and went. MOD Pizza (as a brand) is a survivor. I have never eaten at this location before; if I had a previous experience with the brand, it has been more than 15 years. I think this brand's differentiator is that you can choose an unlimited combination of toppings. On this occasion, I ordered a "mini pizza" with one topping ($11.09) and a fountain drink ($3.59). With tax, my ticket was $16.11, before gratuity. The pepperoni mini-pizza is sized for an individual and is sliced into four pieces. I asked for them to prepare it "house style". The positive is that the crust was very thin; and it was crisp. The amount of sauce was appropriate; and if you like a sauce that has a bit of "tang" to it, then you'll be pleased. But for a place that allows unlimited application of toppings, I felt the amount of pepperoni applied to this pie was spare. And herein lies the conflict: For what I received, I feel the pizza was overpriced. If there is value, it probably happens when you're allowed to choose your toppings. At the same time, the crust is very thin; I don't see how much the foundation can support if topped excessively. The in-store seating is clean and reasonably comfortable. The service was better than ok. read more

Highly recommended if you haven't tried! This is our go to place for pizzas! Everyone gets exactly what they want with prompt service and comfortable setting. I typically get the Mad Dod (meat lover option), and then customize from there. My wife likes thick with Mega dough ($2 more), and she piles different vegetables. Our daughter loves pineapples so she adds them to hers. Tip: you can request arugula on top afterwards and it's great read more

I love the unlimited toppings. The kids working here are always courteous and helpful. Last weekend we sent the kids in and I came and watched from afar. We wanted to teach them how to independently order and pay. Gary was so kind to them. He slowed down and made them feel heard. The kids were confident enough to order and pay for their pizzas and even when they came out he made sure they got their pizzas. Thanks Gary! The service and cleanliness is 5/5. The pizzas are good. This one is definitely better than the other make your own pizza chain. The sauces are better(except I'm not a fan of the Alfredo here, the marinara and pesto are my faves here), the toppings are far superior and you can add whatever and however much you want. Love the set up and the efficiency. Even when it's really busy, it never takes over 15 mins to get your pizza. read more

We Love Mod Pizza because it's a whole concept that customers/supporters can embrace. And the pizzas are delicious and custom-made by you. We take the Caspian pizza as our base. I'm a vegetarian who can be satisfied at Mod Pizza because they have non-dairy cheese and plant-based meat. At this Mod Pizza, our pizza preparer made a mistake and put dairy chess on my crust, once I made it known, he offered to make another pizza and it was very good. The pizza was baked to perfection resulting in a mouth-watering 10-out-10 pizza experience. The ambiance is casual and friendly. read more
The two stars are simply because the food itself is fine for what you're paying. What wasn't fine was it taking 18 minutes for the staff member to put together the one pizza in front of me. What also wasn't fine was the same staff member using the same gloves to touch the meat, then touch the vegetables, then touch his nose before retreating to get more dough. I understand you get what you pay for, but MOD isn't cheap. There needs to be better sanitation, better management, and more emphasis on efficiency. read more
For a fast food pizza parlor, this place is great. And at a flat price, you can get as few or as many toppings as you want. I opt for the cauliflower crust. It's an extra couple dollars, but why not. When you're in line, you choose your crust, choose your sauce, choose your toppings, and they put your pizza in a fire oven. It cooks for approximately 20 minutes. When it's ready, they either place your pizza on a plate, if you're dining there, or place it in a box and call your name at the pick up area. I also ordered a flavored tea. They offer that, along with plain and flavored lemonade, in addition to the usual fountain drinks. They also sell beer. I downloaded the phone app so I can order beforehand. They have a lot of seating, both indoors and outdoors. *Note: Because this location is across the street from the high school, it gets seriously busy during lunch. There are crowds of high schoolers dining here. Looks like lunch lets out at 11:30AM. Parking wise, there's plenty of free, shared parking. But again, if you come here during lunch on a weekday, be prepared for the nightmare traffic in the parking lot. You would think a concert just let out or something. read more
MOD Pizza it's a really great pizzeria. What they offer is truly unique, create your own, pizzas, where you can add all kinds great toppings onto any pizza and they offer these pizzas for a very reasonable price. Whereas most pizza parlors do things like charge you a certain price for one topping, two toppings, three toppings, and so on, MOD Pizza is not like that. You pay for the size of the pizza you want and then you can put as few or as many toppings on it as you want on it. They also give you a great selection of cheeses and sauces. They also have other items such as salads and things like that. But, as I have never had any of those, I've only eaten their pizzas, I will keep my comments to what I know. This is really a great place to get to-go pizza. They also have a nice interior section as well as tables on the outside but, I will say, you really have to be careful when you come here. For example, if you come here around lunchtime, the place is inundated with high school students. Certainly, we were all high school students once upon a time, so we understand how they behave, meaning it can get pretty crazy in there during lunchtime. Just keep that in mind if you plan on going there for lunch, because it may not be quite as quiet and enjoyable as during other times of the day. Overall, great pizzeria. read more

And No, I am not an agist, there are some great places with great service from younger folks that goes beyond appreciating! Just to give a insight, I didnt tip here and I tip EVERYWHERE! read more

The cauliflower crust is super crispy and delicious! You can choose from preset menu items or customize your own order with unlimited toppings. So many topping choices! The pizza salad was basically an entire salad on the side with the pizza crust. Next time I might try the toppings baked into the pizza so the meat isn't cold. But it was nice to have a refreshing salad on a hot day. Everything was fresh and tasty. read more
Pizza is good or whatever but I am FLABBERGASTED that a SMALL side salad is $10!!! FOR WHAT? I didn't add anything to it. That is ridiculous! THE SALAD IS SMALLER THAN MY HAND!!!!! 5 bites worth of lettuce (if that). I'm kicking myself for not turning away the salad before paying for it. edited to add a star cause the pizza was good. read more
This location was in a great location/shopping center. It wasn't very busy and there was an awesome outside seating are. Staff was so friendly and quick. Both pizzas we got were off the menu, no modifications. Always a great stop for a pizza! read more

Marinara was good, no heartburn The limited edition Asian soy dressing was fuego Get on it Pizzas were devoured Get pickled onions w ricotta on your pizza, you're welcome. read more
I used to work here for a high school job(not anymore though so this is a fair review). As an ex-worker here, I can vouch that they really value customer service and friendly interactions. Just went today, and the workers are just as friendly as I remember. Ashley, the manager, does a great job of mentoring and training the workers. As for the food, I think MOD is probably the most consistent of the fast-pizza chains out there. Just went today, and it was just as I remembered from back in high school. I also prefer their dough over Blaze. MOD's dough is more doughy&fluffy, Blaze's is more crispy. It's up to personal preference, though. Insider tip: their gluten free crust is actually surprisingly good! Also, the mini salads/pizzas are in my opinion not worth the money. Just go for the big one. Their cinnamon crisps are also pretty good read more
