MOD Pizza Marana To Open Nov. 17; Free Pizza for First 52 Customers

Tucson Foodie is member-supported. Join the club.

MOD Pizza Marana will open its fourth choose-your-own-topping, fast-fired Tucson pizza joint Tucson at 3780 W. Ina Rd. on Friday, November 17.

The 2,600-square-foot space, previously a Peter Piper Pizza, will provide free pizza for the first 52 customers in line at noon on Friday, November 17.

One hundred percent of pizza sales during the event will benefit Generosity Feeds, who will provide backpack meals for local at-risk youth.

MOD’s other three locations are at 4386 N. Oracle Rd., 6351 E. Broadway Blvd. #129., and in Oro Valley at 10580 N. Oracle Rd. #150.

MOD Pizza Marana will be one of two new restaurants in the area. Baja Cafe announced plans to open in Marana this week, as well, across the street at 3930 W. Ina.

Tucson’s Greek dining scene offers spanakopita, slow-roasted lamb, and fresh-baked baklava across the city. This guide focuses on kitchens that cook Greek food as their core identity rather than Mediterranean restaurants with Greek dishes.

Make sure to stop by the @Tucsongreekfestival at Jácome Plaza this Friday, Nov. 6 – Saturday, Nov. 7!
