MOD Pizza is running one of the cleanest family meals of the holiday season. Starting Sunday, November 8, 2026, and continuing every Sunday through December 27, 2026, every kid aged 12 and under eats free when you buy any MOD-size pizza or salad. The promo code is KEF2026, and there is no upper limit on the number of free kids meals per adult purchase.
That is eight consecutive Sundays, including Thanksgiving weekend (November 29) and the two Sundays before Christmas (December 13 and December 20). It is the most reliably family-friendly food offer of November and December 2026.
The math matters. A MOD-size pizza starts around $8.65, and a MOD kids meal starts around $4.99. A family of two adults and two kids normally pays about $27.28. With KEF2026, the same family pays about $17.30, which works out to roughly $4.33 per person versus $6.82 a la carte.
Below we walk through the eight Sunday dates, the exact code entry, the surcharges that can sneak onto your receipt, and how this stacks against the other kids-eat-free offers DHU has already covered this fall.

What Is the Deal
MOD Pizza launched the Kids Eat Free Sunday promotion on modpizza.com/kids-eat-free-deal. The offer runs from Sunday, November 8, 2026 through Sunday, December 27, 2026, on every Sunday in that window. There are eight eligible Sundays in total.
The mechanics are simple. For every MOD-size pizza or MOD-size salad you purchase, you receive one free MOD kids meal. The kids meal is sized for a child 12 or under and includes a personal pizza or pasta, a drink, and a cookie.
There is no stated cap on the number of free kids meals per adult purchase. A table with two parents and four kids, for example, can buy two MOD-size pizzas and receive four free kids meals, as long as each free meal is matched to one MOD-size purchase.
The promo code is KEF2026. Online and in the MOD app, enter it at checkout. In-restaurant, just say the code to your server. Participating locations are listed on the official deal page, and franchisees can opt out, so confirm your local MOD is taking part before driving over.
What's Free
The free item is a MOD kids meal. Per the MOD Pizza kids meal page, the kids meal includes a personal 6-inch pizza or pasta, a kids-sized drink (organic juice or milk), and a chocolate chip cookie.
What is not free: your MOD-size pizzas and salads, any adult beverages, any extra side or dessert, and any surcharge for premium toppings. The free kids meal itself has no surcharge, but if you customize the kids pizza with a premium cheese or a cauliflower crust, that upcharge applies to the free meal as well.
The eight eligible Sundays are:
November 8, 2026
November 15, 2026
November 22, 2026
November 29, 2026 (Thanksgiving weekend)
December 6, 2026
December 13, 2026
December 20, 2026
December 27, 2026
That last Sunday, December 27, falls two days after Christmas and five days before New Year's Eve. It is the easiest last-minute holiday family meal on the calendar.
How to Claim Step by Step
Step | Action |
|---|---|
1 | Pick one of the 8 eligible Sundays above |
2 | Confirm your local MOD is participating on the deal page |
3 | Build one MOD-size pizza or salad per kid |
4 | Add a free kids meal (pizza or pasta, juice or milk, cookie) |
5 | Enter KEF2026 at checkout on the app or website, or say it in-store |
6 | Skip cauliflower crust and premium cheese to avoid upcharges |
The single most common mistake families make is adding a cauliflower crust to one of the adult MOD-size pizzas and not noticing the $3 upcharge. The kids-eat-free discount does not cover premium crust upgrades.
If you are ordering on the MOD app, the code KEF2026 must be typed in the promo field before payment. If you forget to apply it in the app, you will not get the free kids meal even if you mention it to the cashier later.
Who Is Eligible
Kids aged 12 and under are eligible for the free meal. There is no height or weight requirement, no school enrollment check, and no signup form. Adults must purchase at least one MOD-size pizza or MOD-size salad per free kids meal.
There is no stated limit on how many free kids meals one adult purchase can unlock. In practice, each free kids meal needs to be matched to one MOD-size adult item. So a family of two adults and three kids would need three adult MOD-size items to get three free kids meals.
The offer is available to anyone who walks into a participating MOD Pizza on an eligible Sunday. You do not need to be a MOD Rewards member, and you do not need to show ID.
Visitors from outside the United States are also eligible, as long as they are ordering at a U.S. MOD Pizza location on a Sunday.
Important Fine Print
The deal runs only on Sundays from November 8 to December 27, 2026. It does not run on weekdays, Saturdays, or on the holiday itself (Thanksgiving Thursday). If you show up on a Monday, the code will not work.
Participating locations vary. MOD Pizza is a franchise model, and the promo page lists which stores are taking part. Use the MOD Pizza store locator and cross-check against the deal page.
Upcharges that can sneak onto your receipt:
Cauliflower crust on any pizza: roughly $3 extra
Premium cheese (for example, vegan cheese or specialty blend): roughly $1 extra
Adults beverages (soda, beer, wine): full price
The kids meal drink is organic juice or milk. You cannot swap it for a fountain soda or a craft lemonade. If your child wants a soda, you will pay the adult beverage price for a separate cup.
The promo code is case-insensitive at most registers, but entering KEF2026 in all caps is the safest way.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOD Pizza kids-eat-free promo code?
The code is KEF2026. It applies on Sundays from November 8, 2026 through December 27, 2026 at participating U.S. MOD Pizza locations. Per the MOD Pizza Kids Eat Free page, the code is entered at checkout on the MOD app or website, or spoken to the server in-restaurant.
If the code does not apply on a Sunday, your local store may be a non-participating franchise, so double-check the deal page before ordering.
How many free kids meals can I get per purchase?
The official terms do not state a hard cap on free kids meals. The practical rule is one free MOD kids meal per MOD-size pizza or MOD-size salad purchased. A family of two adults and three kids would need three adult MOD-size items to unlock three free kids meals. If you have more kids than adults, the extra kids meals are charged at the regular kids menu price.
Does KEF2026 work on Thanksgiving weekend?
Yes. November 29, 2026 is one of the eight eligible Sundays, and it falls the weekend after Thanksgiving. This is one of the most useful windows of the promotion because families are often hosting out-of-town relatives and need an easy Sunday meal. The same applies to December 13 and December 20, the two Sundays before Christmas.
What surcharges should I watch out for?
The biggest hidden upcharge is the cauliflower crust, which adds roughly $3 to any pizza. Premium cheese toppings add roughly $1. The kids meal drink is organic juice or milk, and you cannot swap it for a soda. If you want to keep the bill at the floor, build your pizza on the original crust with the standard cheese blend, and let the kids pick their toppings from the free list.
How does MOD Pizza compare to other kids-eat-free offers this fall?

Can I use KEF2026 with MOD Rewards points?
Yes, the promo code and the MOD Rewards program can usually be used together on the same order, but the free kids meal counts as a $0 item and does not earn rewards points on its own. To be safe, check your receipt after ordering; if the code did not apply, the cashier can usually re-ring the order in person.
