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.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
