MOD Pizza

Longtime fans, but this experience was alarming. My husband and I have eaten here many times and it used to be our favorite pizza spot. Last night, we ordered our usual: pepperoni pizzas for us, the Maddy for my mom, and a gluten-free veggie pizza for our friend. Not long after eating, my husband and I both became extremely sick. I was vomiting for hours, and he followed shortly after. Initially, we thought it might’ve been the pepperoni, but after some process of elimination, we realized my mom (who only had cheese) also ended up vomiting later in the night. Our friend, who had the gluten-free crust and no cheese, was totally fine. His was completely vegan. So now we’re thinking it could’ve been the cheese, or possibly the dough, since those of us who got sick all had the same regular crust. We’ve always loved this place, but this was a scary and disappointing experience. Sadly, we won’t be back after this. Food safety just isn’t something we’re willing to risk.

My mom cannot eat gluten and their pizzas are baked all in the same over so she wasn’t able to eat anything but a salad, even though the menu includes “gluten-friendly” pizza crusts. Line workers all disappeared when me and my family were next in line and had little to no knowledge about cross-contamination with gluten. Our uncooked pizzas were sitting on the line waiting to be put in the oven while the one line worker made our salads, which extended our time in line. The people behind us had their food put in the oven before ours which confused us. We were in line for probably 45 minutes before we payed, then had to wait longer for our pizzas to finish cooking. Everyone seemed to be upset with us as we were waiting. Honestly I couldn’t wait to leave, felt so uncomfortable.
