"Along with our incredible pizza, MOD is a company centered on a people-first culture and strong community engagement," said Scott Womack, President of Womack Restaurant. "We can't wait to introduce the community of Liberty to MOD and share what the buzz surrounding this inspiring brand is all about."

MOD's individual artisan-style pizzas are made on demand, using fresh-pressed dough and signature sauces. Customers create their own pizzas and salads, using any combination of over 30 featured toppings, or they can choose from a menu of MOD classics. The price always remains the same regardless of the number of toppings. Pizzas are hand-cooked in an 800 degree oven in less than 3 minutes and salads are individually hand-tossed for each customer. The menu is rounded out with handspun milkshakes, house-made lemonades and iced teas, and local craft beers and wine.
