MOD Pizza will shut down its Plaza America location on Wednesday, Sept. 30, ending nearly a decade at 11642 Plaza America Drive and leaving the fast-casual chain with no remaining Fairfax County restaurants.

Andy's Pizza, a D.C.-area chain named Fast Casual Restaurant of the Year at the 44th annual RAMMY Awards in June, has already signed a lease for the 2,963-square-foot space and expects to open by the end of 2026, according to FFXnow.

"I had a lot of folks ask when we're coming to Reston," a manager at Andy's Tysons Galleria location told FFXnow in late June.

A MOD Pizza spokesperson confirmed the closure to FFXnow on July 10, saying the company made the difficult decision to close after nearly 10 years of serving the Reston community. The restaurant first opened in June 2016.

The Reston closure is part of a broader pullback. MOD has already shuttered locations in Vienna, Herndon, Fairfax City, Ashburn and near Chantilly. Nationally, the chain closed 70 restaurants during 2024 and at least 28 more in 2025, according to Restaurant Business. Franchise disclosure documents filed in 2025 warned of recurring losses and a lack of capital after Elite Pizza Holdings acquired MOD in July 2024 in a deal believed to have prevented bankruptcy.

After Sept. 30, MOD's nearest Northern Virginia locations will be in Gainesville and Woodbridge.

Andy's Pizza, founded by cousins Emily and Andy Brown, launched in December 2018 at Tysons Galleria's Taste of Urbanspace food hall. The Reston spot will be its 16th location. Building plans under Fairfax County review show the dining room will seat about 100 at regular tables, high tables and booths. The menu features whole pies and pizza by the slice, plus appetizers like Old Bay fries, chicken wings and fried brussels sprouts.

The brand has taken over former MOD spaces before: its Gaithersburg location also replaced a closed MOD Pizza.

Plaza America's restaurant corridor has seen other turnover. Matchbox at nearby Reston Station closed on New Year's Eve 2025 after four years, and its 5,500-square-foot space is being converted into an office for defense contractor Amentum rather than attracting a new restaurant tenant, FFXnow reported.

No opening date for Andy's Pizza beyond "by the end of this year" has been announced. Fairfax County is still reviewing the building plans.
