The MOD Pizza Sweet Heat Summer Campaign has been launched by the brand in celebration of the summertime to provide consumers with the chance to win an exclusive sweepstakes and enjoy some summery fare.
The campaign includes a partnership with Coca-Cola that will reward one MOD Rewards member and a guest with a trip to Italy. The campaign also includes the revival of Mike's Favorite Pizza that puts a sweet and spicy (AKA swicy) taste front and center that's perfect for enjoyment in the summertime heat. The brand is also offering the Strawberry Lemonade No Name Cake for order during the campaign period that's running through August 23, 2026.
Vice President of Marketing Charae Carter Jenkins commented on the MOD Pizza Sweet Heat Summer Campaign saying, "Sweet Heat Summer brings together everything guests love most about MOD during the summer season, including craveable flavors, rewarding experiences and moments worth celebrating. From the return of Mike's Favorite Pizza to weekly surprises for our MOD Rewards members, we're creating even more reasons for guests to make MOD part of their summer plans."
