Mod Pizza is an interesting concept, it is basically the Five Guys of pizza, which coincidentally…read moreis the place located next store to Mod in the Metrocentre.
With so many rivals nearby for fast food and even pizza, this place must be doing a lot in order to compete, however after my visit here today to one of five Mod locations in the UK which also includes branches in Leeds and London, here at the Metrocentre I was left shocked, ill and disappointed.
I ordered a gluten free pizza, in all honesty I can't remember the name of it, other than it being number two of the board and including mild sausage, pepperoni and cheese, the pizza its-self was okay, especially for gluten free but while eating it I began to feel quite ill, experiencing symptoms I would normally experience when having gluten, which made my journey out of the Metrocentre and to my hotel much less pleasant as I was frankly not feeling very well down to a cross-contamination issue here.
The pizza tasted good until I started to become ill, perhaps there was an issue with gluten after all? - This made me all the more so angry after telling them about my allergy and having to pay an extra £2 to make my order gluten free which is an unreasonable and unfair charge, punishing people to have to pay extra when the freshness and quality compared to a normal pizza, which for health reasons we (coeliacs) can't have would of course be better.
Inside, the decor was quite cool, and I also picked up a loyalty card albeit I certainly wont' be returning.
The pizza was charged at restaurant prices, and I didn't even get a real, glass plate, the food was expensive and albeit it was above average in taste, and service was the shame, the pizza was overpriced and left me feeling ill due to an issue with cross-contamination, making the standards at this place especially for hygiene and allergies and all time low, so I sadly feel this place deserves a single one star rating and it deserves to be the newest member of my "Avoid at all costs list", and that statement is especially aimed at those with allergies such as gluten.
