🍕 Chain Reality Check — MOD Pizza

MOD Pizza: Can Two Eat
for Under $20?

Comfortably, and in every city we checked. The 11-inch MOD-size pizza is one price no matter how many of the 40-plus toppings go on it — $11.89 to $16.59 depending on the market — so two people split one and eat for $5.95 to $8.30 a head. MOD even sells a salad size it labels "Feeds 2" outright. The catch isn't the pizza; it's what you add to it.

✓ Reality-checked August 2026 · every price read off MOD's own online ordering system (orders.modpizza.com), one store per city, 48 cities · MOD prices by store, so treat these as the number at the store we priced, not a national table.
🧮 The Short Answer

The Verdict: Yes — Split the 11-Inch

MOD opened in Seattle in 2008 — "we knew back in 2008 that our pizza was more than just pizza," as the chain puts it — and built the format most fast-casual pizza copied afterwards: you walk the line, pick from more than 40 toppings and 8 finishing sauces, and the price doesn't move however many you point at. MOD's own words: "the price always stays the same." A gas-fired oven turns it around in about three minutes. By our August 2026 count of the chain's own locator it's 439 stores across 26 states, still headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, and heaviest in Texas and the Northwest — 110 Texas stores and 68 in Washington alone.

That flat-price model is what makes the two-under-$20 math easy, and it doesn't need a coupon, an app or a limited-time deal. The 11-inch MOD-size — "Regular" at the California stores, which are running a newer menu — costs $11.89 to $16.59 loaded with everything, and splitting one is the whole play. Two people eat for $5.95 to $8.30 each, under the line in 48 of 48 cities. If greens are more your thing, MOD does the work for you: it sizes a salad "Mega (Feeds 2)" — "Large (Feeds 2)" in California — and that lands at $13.89 to $17.84.

Two 11" MOD-size pizzas, one each $23.78 to $33.18 The order most people default to ✗ 0/48 cities

The pattern is unusually clean for this site: MOD's food is under the line almost everywhere, and the only thing that breaks it is ordering like two separate customers. One pizza between two, or one salad between two, and you're fine. Two of anything, or one of anything plus drinks, and the priciest markets tip over.

The Salad MOD Says Feeds Two

$13.89 to $17.84

You don't have to take our word on the sharing — MOD names the size "Mega (Feeds 2)" on its own ordering menu ("Large (Feeds 2)" at the California stores). Same unlimited-toppings rule as the pizza, 8 dressings, hand-tossed to order. One order, two dinners, under the line in all 48 cities.

🧟 Still True?

Things You'll Read About MOD That Aren't Right Anymore

"MOD is the $8 unlimited-toppings pizza"

That was the pitch for years, and it's the number still floating around in old blog posts. In 2026 the loaded 11-inch runs $11.89 to $16.59. The only build still near eight dollars is a plain cheese 11-inch in the cheapest markets — $8.89 at our Lexington read, against $13.59 in San Jose.

"MOD has one national price"

It doesn't, and the spread is wide: the same 11-inch loaded pizza is $11.89 in Lexington and $16.59 in San Jose. It can move inside a city too — Seattle's downtown store reads $15.79 while the West Seattle store on SW Barton St reads $15.29. California stores are also running a different, newer menu with renamed sizes and cauliflower and gluten-friendly crusts. Price at your store, not ours.

"One 11-inch feeds two easily"

It's a genuine dinner for two, but be realistic: MOD sells the 11-inch as an individual size, so splitting it gives each of you a generous personal pizza, not half a large. If that's light, go to two 6-inch minis ($13.78 to $18.18 for the pair) or the Feeds-2 salad. What doesn't work is bolting a side onto a loaded 11-inch — cheesy garlic bread pushes it over $20 in 43 of the 44 markets we priced it in.

"Kids eat free at MOD"

Sundays only. MOD's own Kids Eat Free page runs it every Sunday, year round: a free Kids Meal with the purchase of a MOD-size pizza or salad, in store or with code KEF2026 online. Any other day of the week, the Kids Meal is a paid item.

📍 Where We've Confirmed It

MOD in 48 Cities on This Site

We crawled MOD's own locator in August 2026 — state by state, plus the single-store states the index links straight to, 439 stores across 26 states — then ran every address in these 48 metros through the Census Bureau's Incorporated Places layer, so "in Seattle" here means inside the city limits rather than a Seattle mailing address in unincorporated county land. Four cities have a MOD with their name on the mail but no store inside the line; those say so. The price after each city is that city's 11-inch MOD-size with unlimited toppings, read off MOD's own ordering system.

Two accuracy notes. First, same-name traps: MOD has stores in Louisville and Lafayette, Colorado; Columbia and Lexington, South Carolina; Georgetown, Kentucky; Springfield, Oregon; Burlington, North Carolina and Washington; Charleston, South Carolina; Montgomery and Richmond, Texas; Kent, Washington; Madison, Alabama. None of those are the cities this site covers under those names, so none are counted here. Second, verified absences: despite a 439-store map there is no MOD in Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Columbus, San Diego, San Francisco or Oakland — the Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Maryland and Ohio stores are all suburban.

❓ Quick Answers

MOD Pizza Deal FAQ

How much is an 11-inch MOD-size pizza in 2026?
Between $11.89 and $16.59 with unlimited toppings, depending on the market — $11.89 in Lexington, $16.59 in San Jose on our August 2026 read of MOD's own ordering system. A plain cheese build on the same 11-inch crust runs $8.89 to $13.59. MOD prices by store, so the number at yours can differ even inside one city.
Can two people eat at MOD Pizza for under $20?
Yes, in all 48 cities we checked, and it isn't close. Split one 11-inch MOD-size with unlimited toppings and two people eat for $5.95 to $8.30 a head. Two 6-inch minis ($13.78 to $18.18 for the pair) also clear the line everywhere, as does the salad MOD sizes as "Mega (Feeds 2)" — "Large (Feeds 2)" at the California stores — at $13.89 to $17.84.
Is one 11-inch pizza really enough for two people?
It is a real dinner for two, not a feast. MOD sells the 11-inch as an individual size, so splitting it gives each person the equivalent of a generous personal pizza rather than a stuffed one. If that's light for you, the honest move is two 6-inch minis or the Feeds-2 salad — adding cheesy garlic bread to a loaded 11-inch breaks $20 in 43 of the 44 markets that sell it.

That makes the first visit genuinely two full pizzas for the price of one. After that it's 1 point per dollar, with a free MOD-size pizza or salad at 150 points, cheesy garlic bread at 100 and a No Name Cake or 16 oz fountain drink at 50.
