The pizza here is fast, cheap and tastes amazing. They have a pretty sizeable list of toppings, any of which can be added at no additional charge. Although I've never needed to take advantage of it, they have a sort of do over policy that encourages people to try something new. The thing that edges this rating up to five stars though is the fact that they completely refunded the full price of one of my meals, simply because of a completely understandable oversight. I had ordered online, and when I arrived a few minutes early they were very busy. My food wasn't ready yet, nor did I expect it to be, so I asked if I could add a soda to my order while I waited. The manager gave me a cup and said to just to grab one since they were making me wait (which, just to reiterate, they weren't). So I got my drink, sat down and waited. After about 20 minutes I went back up toward the counter because I was getting worried that I'd missed them calling out my order. It became apparent pretty quickly that my pizza had been made, but had never actually gotten put in the oven. I want to stress again how busy it was, because given the circumstances, I wasn't at all irritated or upset. Anyone who's worked in a restaurant knows this sort of thing happens sometimes when you're getting swamped. I tried my best to make it clear that it was totally fine. I wasn't in any sort of rush. But before I could finish, the manager walked over to the register and told me they were just going to refund what I paid for the pizza. The pizza I still ended up getting to eat, not to mention wash down with the soda they also gave me for free. All in all, it's a good restaurant and definitely worth the money, but there are tons of restaurants that can boast the same. The only reason why I'm going the extra step of writing this review is because of the fact that they were so eager to make sure I had a good experience that they took a loss on my order rather than risk even the possibility that I would leave there with any reasons not...
Read moreAlright, listen up, fellow carb enthusiasts. I ventured into Mod Pizza at Bella Bottega, Redmond, and emerged...slightly more round.
Now, I'm no pizza purist, but even I have to admit, these Yanks know their dough. It's like they've summoned a pizza crust whisperer. Perfectly thin, yet sturdy enough to hold a mountain of toppings, which, by the way, are not your standard pepperoni-and-sad-mushroom fare. They've got things like fig jam, spicy sausage, and...arugula? Arugula on pizza? Look, I'm as confused as you are, but somehow, it works. It's like they threw a gourmet salad on a perfectly baked disc of deliciousness, and I'm not mad about it.
The whole "build-your-own" thing is also a delightful exercise in controlled chaos. It’s like playing Tetris with cheese and vegetables, except the stakes are way higher (hangover prevention, mostly).
And the staff? Super friendly, even when I asked them to "surprise me" with toppings, which resulted in a culinary masterpiece that I can only describe as "spicy, sweet, and slightly existential."
So, if you're looking for a pizza that's a little bit fancy, a little bit weird, and a whole lot tasty, Mod Pizza's your spot. Just be prepared to leave with a newfound respect for arugula and a slightly...
Read moreI go to the MOD pizzas in Marysville all the time. So I know what to expect. I understand they have new people and are trying to train, but you should finish training them before throwing them on the floor. The person who built my pizza seemed to not have any idea how much of anything to put on. She plopped everything in the middle, and I had to ask her to spread it out. I asked for mushrooms and she put 4 PIECES on there, so I asked for a few more. The cooking was AWFUL!! They put it in the oven, my husband paid for it and went to get his drink, and they called us before he was even finished filling his cup. The crust was dark brown but the toppings weren't even warm, let alone cooked. He asked to put mine back in, because I didn't want raw mushrooms. They were worried about it burning. Hey, people, if the crust is burning and the toppings are raw, your oven is too hot! But the manager insisted everything was as it should be. She offered a new one, but why would we want another pizza with burnt crust and raw toppings? Geez. If this had been the first time I had ever been to a MOD pizza I would never come back. If that's your idea of a pizza "done right" we have very different ideas of...
