Our Story
Crafting authentic wood-fired pizzas with passion, tradition, and a whole lot of love since day one!
Where It All Began
Back in 2018, our founders had this wild dream - what if we could bring authentic, wood-fired pizza magic to everyone? Not just fancy, stuffy restaurant pizza, but the real deal that makes you close your eyes and smile with every bite.
Starting in a tiny kitchen with one wood-fired oven and a mountain of enthusiasm, we began experimenting with traditional recipes passed down through generations. Our goal was simple: create pizzas so good, they'd make your nonna proud (even if she's never been to Italy)!
Our Mission
To bring people together over incredible food, one perfectly crafted pizza at a time. We're not just making pizza - we're creating moments, memories, and maybe a little bit of magic!
What We Stand For
Authentic Craft
Every pizza is hand-crafted with traditional techniques and the finest ingredients. No shortcuts, no compromise!
Community Love
We're more than a restaurant - we're your neighborhood gathering spot where everyone's family.
Fresh & Local
Supporting local farmers and suppliers because great pizza starts with great ingredients from great people.
Pure Joy
Life's too short for boring food! We're here to bring smiles, laughter, and unforgettable flavors.

Our Journey Through Time
The Dream Begins
Marco and Sarah meet at a food festival, bonding over their shared obsession with authentic pizza. The crazy idea to start Mod Pizza is born over (what else?) a slice of mediocre pizza!
First Oven Fires Up
After months of recipe testing (and probably gaining 20 pounds), we open our doors! Our first customer? Sarah's mom, who still claims she gave us our first five-star review.
Community Champions
During the tough times, our community rallied around us. We started our "Pizza it Forward" program, delivering free meals to healthcare workers and families in need.
Award-Winning Excellence
We win "Best Pizza in Connecticut" - cue the happy tears! Our team grows, our ovens multiply, but our commitment to quality never wavers.
Expanding Horizons
We launch our catering services and start planning our second location. The dream keeps growing, one satisfied customer at a time!
The Adventure Continues
Here we are today, still as passionate as ever! Every day brings new opportunities to create amazing experiences and unforgettable flavors.
