If you’ve followed me awhile, you may know that one of my favorite brands is MOD Pizza. Not only do I love their amazing individual pizzas, but I love how gracious they are about giving back — or “Spreading MODness” as they call it — to the communities where they have locations.
The latest promotion from MOD is an awesome one, and just another great excuse to visit the fast casual chain, which is locally owned by Michigan-based TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants {TSFR}.
October is National Pizza Month, and TSFR MOD locations will be launching its “Pizza of the Week” campaign. Throughout the month, all MOD Pizza locations in Michigan will donate $1 from every Mod-sized specialty pizza sold to a designated charity partner that is making an impact in their community. Each selected charity created their own pizza to be featured on the menu at TSFR’s 11 MOD Pizza locations.
The schedule for “Pizza of the Week” is as follows:
October 1-7: Grace Centers of Hope
Ann Marie LaFlamme, anchor at WXYZ, will kick off the campaign with her pizza, aptly named “The LaFlamme.”The pizza features a garlic rub, red sauce, fresh basil, Mama Lil’s Sweet Hot Peppers, mozzarella cheese and a sri-rancha finishing sauce. Her pizza will benefit Grace Centers of Hope, a faith-based organization that provides residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation services to the Southeast Michigan community.
October 8-14: Fleece and Thank You
Fleece and Thank You is a Novi-based charity specializing in making fleece blankets and delivering them to children in hospitals all around Michigan and Northern Ohio. They have created “The Fleezza,” which features red sauce, oregano, green pepper, pepperoni, chicken, bacon, mozzarella, parmesan cheese and a BBQ swirl finishing sauce.
October 15-21: New Day Foundation for Families
New Day Foundation for Families is a Rochester-based organization that provides financial and emotional support to individuals and families impacted by cancer. Their pizza, named “New Day Way,” features red sauce, mozzarella, chicken, spinach, mushroom, tomato and olives.
October 22-28: Scarlet’s Smile
Scarlet’s Smile is an organization named after an adorable 5-year-old little girl from Commerce Township who is fighting a battle with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The organization is currently raising money for the construction of an all-inclusive playground to accommodate children with disabilities. The pizza, also called “Scarlet’s Smile,”includes red sauce and asiago, mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta and feta cheeses.
Additional funds will be raised for each charity through the sale of paper MOD Pizza shields, which will be available to purchase for $1.
I enjoyed each pizza for different reasons, but the Fleezza with the BBQ chicken was my favorite, followed by The Laflamme, which is pretty spicy, which I like. My little man really liked the Scarlet’s Smile one, and my mom enjoyed the New Day Way the most. They truly is a pizza for every person’s taste buds, but the real winner is the money that will be raised for some truly deserving nonprofits!!
There are MOD locations in the following Michigan cities: Livonia, Northville, Rochester Hills, Woodhaven, Brighton, Troy, Canton, Chesterfield and three in Shelby Township, with locations now underway in Southgate, Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids.
