MOD Pizza Ordering Hacks
1. Always Add Grilled Chicken
For zero extra cost, you get 23g protein and only 110 calories. Even if you add other meats, chicken is the best protein-to-calorie topping.
2. Double Up on Lean Proteins
Ask for double chicken, add bacon, add pepperoni—all included with unlimited toppings. You can easily hit 40-60g protein on one pizza.
3. Use Light Cheese to Save Calories
Light mozzarella cuts cheese calories in half (70 cal vs. 140 cal) while still providing 6g protein and satisfying texture.
4. Load Veggies for Free Volume
Mushrooms, spinach, peppers, onions, tomatoes—all add bulk and fiber for <5-15 calories each. You get a bigger, more filling pizza for no macro cost.
5. Skip Finishing Drizzles
Ranch, balsamic glaze, and honey drizzles add 35-80 calories without meaningful nutrition. If cutting, skip them entirely.
6. Order Cauliflower Crust for Cutting
Saves 210 calories and 50g carbs vs. original crust. Still tastes great and lets you eat pizza while staying lean.
7. Get Extra Sauce
Red sauce is only 30 calories per pizza. Asking for extra makes the pizza saucier and more filling without adding meaningful calories.
Common MOD Pizza Macro Mistakes
Mistake 1: Forgetting About the Crust
The crust is 330-580 calories and 66-115g carbs depending on type. If you’re cutting hard, cauliflower crust or a salad bowl is a better choice.
Mistake 2: Overloading Fatty Meats
Sausage, pepperoni, salami, and bacon all add 70-130 calories and 6-11g fat per serving. They taste great, but if cutting, prioritize chicken.
Mistake 3: Adding Every Finishing Drizzle
Ranch + balsamic glaze + hot honey = 180 extra calories. One drizzle is fine; three is overkill.
Mistake 4: Assuming “Unlimited Toppings” Means Unlimited Calories
Unlimited veggies? Yes, load up. Unlimited meats and cheeses? Each adds 70-210 calories. Be strategic.
Mistake 5: Not Using the Salad Option
MOD’s salads are criminally underrated. You can build a 400-calorie, 50g+ protein salad with all your favorite pizza toppings. Perfect for low-carb.
How to Order MOD Pizza for Your Calorie Budget
| Daily Calories | Recommended Build |
|---|---|
| 1,200-1,400 | Mini cauliflower crust + chicken + veggies |
| 1,500-1,800 | MOD thin crust + light cheese + chicken |
| 1,800-2,200 | MOD original crust + regular cheese + chicken + pepperoni |
| 2,200-2,800 | MOD thick crust + extra cheese + double meats |
