| - Tried to go to a different pizza place (they were closed today), and wound up here. I had been to the MOD down on Peoria Ave. a handful of times, and had always liked it for a quick, do it yourself type pizza joint. I decided to stop in to this newer one today for lunch.
I walked in and was greeted immediately via the "Hi, welcome to MOD" all employee "hello". I knew how the concept worked already so I ordered myself a MOD sized pizza with red sauce and mozzarella. About that.......Not sure if there was a rookie making my pizza or what. She layered on the skimpest layer of cheese I have ever seen. It was barely visible! I politely asked her to put on more cheese and she gladly did. I went down the line and went with pepperoni (also skimp...she only put like 6 pieces on the whole pizza!), some red onions, garlic, and my favorite topping here, the roasted garlic! At first, she only put on about 4 pieces of roasted garlic and then I told her to hook it up and add way more. I wound up with about 12 chunks of roasted garlic when all was said and done. I asked for it to be cooked well done, paid for my pizza and drink and took a seat. Here is how it was...........
Pizza- It is your own creation. If it is bad, that is your own fault! My pizza came out perfect! It was a little charred on the edges due to the "well done" request, and tasted great! The crust here is a tad thinner than other similar style pizza joints, but it still holds up well. My toppings were great! I LOVE the roasted garlic! By far my favorite topping that they offer. I finished my 4 slices and was very satisfied.
Lemonade- Hands down, the best lemonade I have ever had from a restaurant! So simple, yet so delicious. Just tart enough, but not enough to make your face pucker. They have 2 kinds, regular and marionberry. I had a marionberry at first and while delicious and better than 90% of lemonades out there, the OG lemonade was the shining star. I had 4 cups full of that stuff while I was there, and took one to go, too! It is SO DAMN DELICIOUS and sweet, and refreshing! This is coming from a person who rarely ever drinks lemonade too. The fact that I had 5 cups of it should say something! I would come here JUST for the lemonade. Yeah, it's that good!
Overall, I enjoyed my lunch! My only complaint was the light toppings from the get go. Hook that shit up to begin with, please! Besides that small snafu, I really like this place because it's reasonably priced ($10.67 for a pizza and drink), fast, tasty, and that lemonade is absolutely a game changer! I can definitely see myself coming back soon!
