MOD Pizza Launches Incredible Kid Giveaway in Chesterfield

Fast-casual pizza restaurant to award a free pizza party to one local student's classroom

In honor of Incredible Kid Day on March 16, TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants (TSFR), a Michigan-based family-owned restaurant group with an expansive portfolio of casual, quick service and family dining restaurants throughout the state, and its Chesterfield MOD Pizza restaurant will celebrate by giving one local student’s classroom a free pizza party. TSFR Brand Leader of MOD Pizza Jake Schostak made the announcement.

A day dedicated to recognizing the incredible efforts and characteristics of children around the world, MOD Pizza is seeking parents, guardians or friends to nominate a local student who has gone above and beyond to create a ripple effect for good in the community. The winning student, as selected by the Chesterfield MOD Squad, will receive a free pizza party for his/her entire classroom. Chesterfield students, kindergarten through fifth grade, are eligible to be entered to win the pizza giveaway. Those interested in nominating a student simply need to fill out the form, complete with the nominator’s name, the student’s name and age, the nominee’s school, contact information, and 200 words or less explaining why the student should be selected as MOD Pizza’s Incredible Kid. Nominators can access the form here: http://teamschostak.com/mod-pizza-incredible-kid-contest/.

“We do more than just sell pizzas at MOD,” said Schostak. “Our company is dedicated to working with our local community and its residents to set an example for doing the right thing. This giveaway is helping us to encourage kids to follow in our footsteps from a young age so in the future they will be inspired to give back.”

Based in Seattle, MOD’s individual artisan-style pizzas are made on demand, using fresh-pressed dough and signature sauces, including MOD red sauce and MOD white sauce. As the company that launched the fast-casual pizza niche, guests can create their own pizzas and salads, using any combination of more than 30 fresh-featured toppings, or they can choose from a menu of MOD classics. Each pizza is hand-cooked in an 800 degree oven in five minutes or less and salads are hand-tossed in front of the customer. MOD also serves local draft beers, wine, handspun milkshakes, and house-made lemonades and iced teas.
