So Mod: Free Pizza For 52 In Cupertino Village This Friday

CUPERTINO - It’s going to be busier than usual near the intersection of Homestead and Wolfe this Friday.

Right around noon, 52 lucky-to-be-first-in-line customers will feast on free pizza and salads when the new Mod Pizza opens its doors in Cupertino Village.

Why 52?

“We originally came up with the first 52 because we didn’t want to just do 50 (didn’t seem very MOD),” Marketing Manager Charlotte Wayte told Patch, “and because we also give away free pizza for a year on opening day – which is actually one pizza a week for a year.”

Seattle-based MOD Pizza will be donating 100% of proceeds from all pizza sales on Friday to local non-profit West Valley Community Services, who provide transitional housing, food pantry, and support services for families within the west valley communities of Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga, West San Jose and the surrounding mountain regions.

Here’s the Friday rundown:

MOD PIZZA OPENING IN CUPERTINO

• WHEN: Friday, January 15, 2016.

Mod says 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 hand spun milkshakes, house-made lemonades and iced teas, and local craft beers and wine.
