The Chipotle of pizza restaurants opens at noon on Friday.
MOD Pizza will open in the Promenade at Virginia Gateway in Gainesville. It’ the first location the Seattle-based chain has opened in Virginia.
MOD Pizza (Made on Demand) offers nine different kinds of pizza with predetermined ingredients such as mozzarella, gorgonzola, and asiago cheeses, vegetables, and meats. Customers can pick one from the menu, and just as they would at Subway or Chipotle, walk down a line and tell the pizza maker what additional toppings they want on their pie.
Pizza prices range between $10.87, $7.87, and $4.87 for a large, medium (MOD size), and small, respectively. The prices remain the same no matter how many toppings you put on your pizza.
MOD Pizza also offers salads, garlic and cinnamon strips, and milkshakes.
The eatery will give away prizes to the first 50 customers in line when it opens on Friday. Friends and family members of employees were invited into the eatery on Wednesday and treated to menu items so employees could do a dry run prior to opening day.
