ModMarket

If you drive down Colorado Blvd on the way to pinkberry or the barnes and nobles, it is very hard to miss the 3 story tall green glass structure (especially at night) which houses the newly open ModMarket, the original which is located in up in boulder. Granted it just opened less than 10 days ago so it definitely needs some refining.  ModMarket's concept includes all natural and lcoal ingredients, fresh produce and made to order pizza and sandwiches at very affordable prices.  The interior is clean and modern with condiments and good olive oil to dip the pizza crust into.  As the associate explained their concept to us, we sampled their split pea curry soup which was hearty and delicious.  As a health conscious place, they post the nutritional info on the menu and it is also printed on your receipt.  The fig pizza with several cheeses, arugula on a whole grain crust served as the training tool for the newly hired associates which as a result suffered some expected flaws.  I designed my own salad with honey herb vinaigrette while my friend ordered the Mongolian salad with the typical asian flavors (plus soy nuts) and an orange mint vinaigrette.    The salads were solid but the pizza had too much flour on the bottom which left a powdery taste in our mouths and was missing the arugula.  I will return in a few months as soon as ModMarket smoothes out its operational food related kinks.

Plate score:  6 with potential
