Mod Pizza

I did not realize there was a MOD Pizza in Asheville, we used to live 5 minutes from one when we lived in South Carolina. We love MOD Pizza and being able to customize our own pies. You can customize from the sauce to the toppings. There are a variety of options available to accommodate any diet. I got a MOD-size pizza with the original crust, red sauce, asiago/feta/mozzarella/parmesan cheeses, pepperoni and sausage, and spinach. The person that was working made my pie a work of art, and it tasted equally amazing. We got a drink and used the blackberry lemonade and sweet tea mixture for a fruity sweet drink. All in all, we had a great experience here.

I don’t believe I’ve ever reviewed a chain restaurant before, but we live down the street from MOD, and we have teenagers, so we have eaten there dozens of times. Most recently, we ordered pizzas a couple of days ago. Detailed review included ordering tips The good: 1. The concept is excellent. Delivering hot, quality, custom-topped pizzas very quickly in an ultra-hot oven is a great concept. 2. They are indeed wonderful community partners. I have seen many nonprofits and schools have fundraisers there. That’s excellent! 3. The list of ingredients is really interesting. From kale and broccoli to Mike’s hot honey, I appreciate all of the different ingredients. 4. The price can’t be beat. It really is an excellent deal for what you get, especially because you can have any amount of toppings for the same low price. The bad: 1. Their cauliflower crust is sometimes gummy and sometimes too crisp. As someone who has gluten sensitivity, I find this to be a bit disappointing. And sometimes the crust is overcooked, and sometimes it’s undercooked. I find the same applies with their other gluten- friendly crust offering. I think perhaps the staff just needs a bit more training on how to properly cook the cauliflower and gluten-friendly crusts. 2. The pizzas seem pretty inconsistent. Sometimes they are piled high with the requested ingredients, and sometimes there are less generous toppings . Overall, the taste is the same, but it’s nice to have generous toppings. 3. There have also been a few mistakes on our orders (some toppings were left off, or there were incorrect crusts, or a glaze was added on the wrong pizza) and we’re not quite sure how to rectify that. By the time we return home with the pizzas and discover the error, and call MOD, they say they will “make us a new one”, which is great, but we’re all sitting down to eat, and we really don’t have time for that. It would be nice if we received a coupon for a free pizza for a future order, but that is never offered. Even after we explain that we all just sat down and we don’t have the time to drive back there, (because everyone is eating dinner together as a family and getting ready to watch a movie or go out etc)., we are still only offered the option of having them remake the pizza. This has happened a few times, and, in a few instances, there were toppings or crusts on a pizza that one person could not really eat, so that family member ended up making a sandwich. The pizza did not go to waste! Somebody else ate it, but it was not the pizza that was ordered. So my suggestion would be to offer a coupon for a free pizza when the guest calls to report an incorrect pizza. Tips on ordering: Mike’s hot honey drizzle is fabulous! I have some Mikes here, and I drizzle it on everything. Try it on your pizza! Also, all of the drizzles and dollops are a great touch. Don’t neglect them. And feel free to add several toppings and cheese to your pizza. The flavors meld beautifully together. Broccoli and cauliflower and tomatoes and ham? Sure! Gorgonzola and feta together? Sure!
