Alamedans have embraced Seattle fast-casual artisan-style pizza chain MOD Pizza at South Shore with open arms, and lunchtime turns into a mad crush of hungry parents, kids, and teens. What’s all the fuss about? Pizza any way you want it that costs next to nothing and is cooked quickly (in about six minutes) in a wood-fired pizza oven by fresh-faced workers decidedly up to the task of the lightning-fast pace. Copious bases, cheeses, dressings, ingredients, herbs, meats, and finishes mean there are unlimited combinations, and all those toppings, from anchovies to the hot buffalo sauce, cost the same, nothing extra. Choose one of the MOD classics or design your own pizza, salad, or even salad on a pizza; the pizzas are 6 inches or 11 inches and make perfect sense for a family of persnickety eaters who can’t decide on a one-size-fits-all pie. Adults can finish things off with a draft beer by glass or pitcher and wine by glass, carafe, or pitcher while the kiddies can sip shakes, floats, and fountain drinks. Serves lunch and dinner daily.
