In their hometown of Seattle, they imagined a new way for people to enjoy pizza, by bringing speed, individual style, and value to one of America's favorite foods. But the real secret sauce wouldn't be the product, it would be the people who serve our communities — the MOD Squad. By taking care of employees, they would take care of the guests, and the business would take care of itself. It's how we've built a culture of opportunity, belonging, and community for the past 13 years, and it's catching on wholeheartedly.
