You go in and pick your size crust. They then ask you to choose every ingredient you want, from the sauce to the seasoning. They also have various pre-made guides for those that want to try their specialized recipes and you can add or omit from them as you please. Basically, it's whatever you want. Personally, I like that I can create my own from scratch, but since I plan to come here often, I may just GO CRAZY and try one of their already made recipes that require no thought on my part.
Also, their prices are pleasantly reasonable considering that you can get a filling pizza that you designed yourself. Despite what at least one reviewer has said, Mod's medium size is not the same as a small/personal size everywhere else. It is more in line with a fancy thin crust pizza from the frozen food section at a grocery store. Anyway, I'm speaking in terms of size only here, not taste or freshness or anything like that. The food here definitely tastes fresh to me. You may just want to review other reviewer's pictures, and note that they have a large size that I'm sure one extra hungry person can stuff themselves on.
So you finish your pizza design and then go pay. You can get your drink, sit down, chat for a few minutes, and then when they call your name (and likely look at you directly), you go get it. They even offer to put some extra sauce or seasoning on top of it if you want.
I got my pizza back and was immediately surprised at how much it transformed. I admit, when they were making it, I was thinking to myself, "man, they should put a little more love and care into it. Gosh, it's just heaped into a pile." You ever eat a burrito at Taco Bell and it's like all the cheese is on one end and the sour cream or whatever is at the other (which sucks by the way)? Yeah, that's what I was thinking when they were putting my pizza together, except that everything was just in the middle. In a pile. I thought I would have just a bunch of burnt toppings on top of melted cheese.
HOWEVER. When I got it back, cooked, I was very pleased with myself for designing the best pizza ever. It was good too. I mean, really good. I guess maybe the person cooking evened it out... or something, I don't know, but it was just marvelous. It tasted great.
The atmosphere was standard. Not cozy, not crowded, not bare and clinical (like a hospital). Just a normal place. Similar to.... let's see... Firehouse Subs kind of, but bigger, I would say. I found it funny that one reviewer mentioned employee break room because when I was there not only were a few employees eating or hanging out, but employees from nearby businesses where there eating as well. It's like it was Rivergate's lunch break. I couldn't care less about that though.
All in all, I was just impressed with how the pizza turned out and tasted and I loved the concept.
