MOD Pizza’s customers have more than 30 toppings to choose from, all at one set price, and can even create their own salad combos. Scott and Ally Svenson founded MOD in Seattle in 2008, inspired by creating fast and affordable restaurant options. The chain made headlines for giving a second chance to ex-convicts. CNN Business reports that many former felons have gone on to become store managers and brand ambassadors.
