MOD Pizza

I’ve been here a couple of times and when I tell the staff about my dietary restrictions they go above and beyond to limit the cross contamination. They will get fresh ingredients from the back, glove change, wipe off counters, all the things. That being said I still get sick after eating here. Likely due to the oven surface cross contamination.

I was excited to try a new pizza place with gluten free options. It clearly states on the menu that they have a gluten free crust. The size is about the same size as other gluten free crusts, but the crust itself was amazing. Not too hard, not too spongey. Here is where it gets tricky, why I DON’T recommend to celiac’s... I avoid gluten because of hashimotos disease/gluten sensitivity. When I asked for gluten free, the (very nice) employee washed her hands and put new gloves on, said she would make my pizza and no one else should touch it. Two other employees (a new and experienced one) were behind her. The new girl asked what was going on and the older employee began to explain. She then stated “I could make everyone on the assembly line change gloves, but why waste gloves. Especially since (employees name) is making the pizza.” She said that as if she were annoyed. But here is the the thing... I’m glad the employee making my pizza washed her hands and put new gloves on... but it really doesn’t matter for celiac’s because of cross contamination. They hardly used the spoons and scoops to get toppings out of the bins. They used their hands! So they’re constantly touching crust all day and then dipping their hands into the toppings. Not celiac friendly.

Celiac friendly?

No

Excellent service, staff and prices. Think of it as Subway but for pizza (and it tastes waaaaaaay better). You can order from their menu or make your own. Super fast service and they always have beer/wine/cider and milkshakes.

This is a thin crust but it's moist and springy. Any menu pizza can be put on a gf crust. I had the caspian. Good food, alcohol and a fun atmosphere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have decent crust and unlimited toppings but make sure to ask for special utensils and tray, there is cross contamination so I had to be stern to ask for clean utensils, the other reno location was more precautious!

They offer a gluten free crust. Workers are always sure to change their gloves and use an allergy screen when preparing your pizza. However, items are at risk of cross contamination due to the nature of the restaurant.

Excellent service! They asked me if it was an allergy or a preference. I said allergy and they pulled all fresh ingredients to prevent cross contamination. The staff was super careful not to touch anything that was an allergen (I have multiple other allergies). Overall I was very impressed.

I like Mod Pizza. I go there about once a month when I dont want to cook. I usually get the gluten-free crust, regular sauce, diary free cheese, mushrooms, onions, banana peppers, spinach, and chickpeas. I think the vegan suasage option has gluten. I also get a big salad and omit everything with gluten or dairy.

They attempt to avoid cross contaminating with changing gloves, etc, but it is all in one area. If you have celiacs and are very sensitive probably not a good idea. I am a gluten intolerant so as long as they do as much as they can, I don't have a reaction. And it depends on the level of knowledge of the staff thar is working.

They can also accommodate me for dairy free which is amazing. I don't recall about the meat they use so be sure to ask if it has gluten. I know the regular pizza sauce is safe but check with regards to the others. I think they use only basic ingredients in their products and not a lot of additives and fillers.

While a chain, we feel this location is mindful of allergies. We’ve eaten here six times with no ‘glutening’ or a reaction for my egg/dairy allergy. We’ve even placed an order for pick up, requesting a glove change in the notes, and ate safely! The pizza is just okay though. The GF pizza leaves a lot to be desired, and the vegan cheese is a little gooey. But when we’re in a hurry, it’s nice to have a safe place to grab a quick personal pizza.
