SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MOD Super-Fast Pizza Holdings, LLC (“MOD Pizza”, “MOD” or the “Company”) today announced the roll-out of its new salad menu across its 490+ stores nationwide. With an emphasis on high-quality, fresh ingredients, the new culinary offerings launched on April 26. As with its pizzas, customers have the option to customize any of the new classic salads or create their own, with MOD’s unique model of unlimited toppings for one flat price.
MOD’s new salad offering features four delicious options – Greek, Italian Chop, Garden and Caesar. Complementing the salads are three new, exclusive dressings – Greek Herb, Zesty Roma and Sherry Dijon – featuring simple ingredients and made with vinegars crafted and imported from Italy. MOD’s classic Caesar dressing, a customer favorite, remains on the menu.
“Our customers have long loved our pizzas for their quality and craveability, so we saw a big opportunity to elevate our salad offering and give our customers more of what they love about MOD,” said Scott Svenson, co-founder and CEO of MOD. “Best of all, we remain true to our key value proposition – the salads are completely customizable and always one price for unlimited toppings. We think it’s unique to the salad category and the perfect complement to great pizzas.”
