How Much Sodium Is in a Mad Dog, Mega Dough?

MOD Pizza Nutrition Calculator: The Short Answer

The Highest-Sodium MOD Pizza Items, Ranked

From the MOD Pizza calculator. A sensible single-meal sodium target is roughly 700–900mg — about a third of the day — which is why items above 1,500mg deserve a deliberate decision rather than a default.

Ordering Low-Sodium at MOD Pizza

Anchor on the low end: the Fountain Drink (Regular) has just 10mg of sodium, which proves a low-sodium build exists on this menu. Around that anchor, the rules are simple — one salty extra at most, sauces on the side, and fresh sides over pickled or processed ones.

The calculator makes this manageable because its sodium bar moves as you build: add items one at a time and watch which single addition does the damage. Swapping that one component, rather than abandoning the meal, is usually enough to bring a 1,800mg order back under 900mg.

• Lowest sodium: Fountain Drink (Regular) — 10mg
• Highest sodium: Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) — 2410mg
• Daily guideline: 2,300mg (FDA); many clinicians aim nearer 1,500mg

The Lowest-Sodium MOD Pizza Items

A low-sodium order is built, not found. These are the lowest-sodium items in the MOD Pizza calculator — combine two or three and the meal stays in the range a heart-conscious day can absorb.

What One Mad Dog, Mega Dough Does to Your Day

Set against the standard 2,000-calorie reference day, one Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) uses 63% of the day's calories, 96% of the protein target, 57% of the carb allowance and 59% of the fat budget. Its 2410mg of sodium is 105% of the 2,300mg daily guideline — the figure that most often surprises people, because sodium concentrates in restaurant food far faster than calories do.

None of those percentages is a verdict on its own. A Mad Dog, Mega Dough at 63% of the day's calories can be a sensible meal anchor; the same item plus a large side and a sweetened drink can quietly pass 60% of the day before dinner. The calculator's daily-value bars exist for exactly this check: build the whole order, not just the headline item, and read the day you are actually committing to.

• Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch): 1250 cal · 48g protein · 158g carbs · 46g fat
• Sodium: 2410mg (105% of the daily guideline)
• Sugar: 9g of the 50g daily value · Fibre: 7g of 28g

The Full Nutrition Profile of the Mad Dog, Mega Dough

Here is the complete panel for the Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch), exactly as the MOD Pizza calculator carries it, with each nutrient also expressed as a percentage of its daily value on a 2,000-calorie reference diet. Read down the percentage column rather than the grams: it is the fastest way to see which nutrient this item is really about. For the Mad Dog, Mega Dough, the standout is sodium, at 105% of a full day in a single item.

Two cautions belong with any single-item panel. First, published values describe the standard build — your portion, your sauce quantity and your size can move every line. Second, percentages are shares of a whole day, not grades: an item at 45% of the day's sodium is a problem only in the context of what else the day holds, which is why the calculator totals the full order rather than judging items one at a time.

Where This Answer Sits on the Whole MOD Pizza Menu

Zoom out and the MOD Pizza menu tracked here spans 15 items across 3 categories, from the Fountain Drink (Regular) at 210 calories to the Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) at 1250 — a 6-fold spread inside one restaurant. The average item is about 620 calories, 6 items pass 700 calories, and 7 of 15 sit under 500. Any single number quoted from this menu means little until it is placed inside that spread.

That spread is also the opportunity. A menu this wide almost always contains a build for the goal you actually have — the protein target, the sodium ceiling, the 500-calorie lunch — provided the order is assembled deliberately rather than inherited from habit. The rankings in this article are the map; the calculator is where you test the route before you travel it.

• Menu range: 210 cal (Fountain Drink (Regular)) to 1250 cal (Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch))
• 3 items under 300 calories · 7 under 500 · average 620
• Most protein-dense: Calexico Pizza (11-inch) at 5.8g protein per 100 cal

The One Swap That Changes the Answer

If the Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) is your usual order and the numbers above are more than you wanted, the highest-value single change on this menu is the Calexico Pizza (11-inch): 860 calories against 1250 (390 fewer), 50g of protein against 48g, and 2050mg of sodium against 2410mg (360mg less salt). One swap, repeated weekly, is worth more than a month of good intentions.

Not every swap has to be a downgrade in enjoyment: the pattern that works at MOD Pizza is swapping the component, not the meal — the same style of order rebuilt around a lighter anchor, with the sauce, cheese or side demoted from default to deliberate. Price both versions in the calculator once and the better default usually picks itself.
