Z Pizza

06/13/2008 Posted by raleighreview

I crave the Thai Pizza. Yum. Different than many other places. Also got the pear and gargonzola salad which was really good with store bought raspberry walnut salad dressing - the salad dressing they provided did not do the salad justice. (The large salad could feed 4 people nicely) I like the fact that they did not use crumbled blue cheese in that salad too --- I believe it was goat cheese or feta - much better than bleu cheese in my book.

Pros: Thai Pizza

Love this place - I'm usually a basic pepperoni eater, but everything I've gotten here has been really good, the Santa Fe is an unbelievable work of pizza. Service has been right on every time, and they have a great casual atmosphere. Keep on Rockin Z Pizza!

Pros: variety, ambience

It sounds like people have had bad experiences in the past, so Z Pizza must have really turned itself around. As a former L.A. resident, I was very happy to find this in Raleigh on Falls. The pizza is consistently delicious and going there at lunch for the 2 slice special is really affordable and much better than fast food. I usually get the Napoli, but my new favorite is the Mexican- I highly recommend it. The staff has always been friendly and the manager even recognizes me now- some of the best service I've had since moving to Raleigh!

Pros: Good pizza, different toppings, friendly staff

Cons: I wish there was one closer to where I live (not even a good con)

My fiance and I have eaten pizza from the Raleigh/Wake Forest location 4 times. The first was eat-in in late Jan/early Feb. We were thrilled to find the vegetarian/soy cheese pizza on the menu, but we wanted to exchange sauces...the young man at the counter had to be stepped through the process a number of times: "What did you want again?" "And you wanted to do what?" "Exchange what for what?" Anyway, our pizza was EXCELLENT and we were excited about eating again, very crisp and not very greasy. We were only disappointed with competency of service and poor beer selection. The next time we ate, we had take-out. That same pizza was soggy and drenched in grease. Had it been like that the first time, we never would have returned. But since it had been so good that once, we tried delivery for a third round...but got another soggy, greasy pizza. It upset our stomachs a bit, and we decided to stop trying. HOWEVER, all that being said, I got in touch with them through an email posted here on CitySearch and they got right back to me, saying that the crust needed to be crisped a certain way on that pizza and they were re-training staff. My fiance went in to collect our fourth pizza and met with the manager, who was really nice and explained what the problems had been. The service was good and the pizza was DELICIOUS and just as good as that first time. My main point is that I was pleased with their responsiveness. It seems to me like they care about their customers and really want them to have a good experience. That pizza is the only one in the area with soy cheese, and I'm super excited that it's good again!

Pros: veggie options

Cons: poor beer selection

Z Pizza is a pizza chain that has just opened in Cary. I was happy to find out that they have a soy cheese pizza with veggie sausage on it called the Berkley Soy Cheese Veggie.

Pros: Vegan/Vegetarian Options

My family and I heard about Zpizza through friends. They told us about the location closest to our house, which is in Cary at Stone Creek shopping center. We had no trouble finding the location, and loved all that they had for the kids to keep them occupied while we were waiting for our food. Not only were there games and toys, but there was a kid sized table by our table so they felt like they were on their own. When the food arrived, we couldn't wait to eat. The pizza was delicious ( we got a large pizza, half with cheese for the kids and half with the Napoli for us adults). The kids gobbled it up! They kept playing games while we finished eating and actually got to talk to each other instead of trying to entertain the kids. I love this place! We will definately be going back and telling our friends about it!

Pros: family friendly

PIzza was ok, nothing special. Took forever for it to come out, seemed like they were more intereted in their take-out then eat-in patrons. Anyway, after a long wait, the pizza arrived with soggy crust and tasted like a DiGiorno's pizza. BTW, sign on the window says "Brick Oven", my wife and I were wondering where that brick oven was, as the oven they were cooking the pizza in looked like a conventional commercial pizza oven.

I am a regular customer at Z Pizza. I eat there almost everyday and the reason why I keep going back is because the service is great and the food is always fresh and tasty. if you are getting delivery it is always good that you try to order ahead the wait is about 45-60 minutes but the food is awesome and is definetly worth the wait. the service is always reliable and good. cashiers are extremely friendly and always willing to spent some extra time to talk to the customers. you definetly have to come and check this place out. the decorations and the colors are great, they also play the best 80's music ever. Pizza Hut and domino's do not come close to this awesome place. they can have a to go pizza ready in as fast as 8 minutes their brick oven is the fastest I have ever seen. come check it out! you would never regret it. if you have never been here you just dont know what you are missing.

Seriously good food. I've been to ZPizza about 5 times now and had pizza delivered twice. The service has always been excellent. Deliveries take about an hour though. But the food is well worth the wait. The pizzas are all unique and tasty. The pasta delicious. The salads far above expectation. I have now tasted 6 different pies, 3 different salads, one pasta, and one sandwich. I've been to Capital Creations and Amante's. Capital Creations is nearly as good pizza (but falls short), but not nearly as good salads, sandwhiches and pasta. Plus it is ridiculously expensive. Amante's just falls way short on everything. ZPizza is the best.

Pros: Food taste and quality top to bottom, great service

Cons: small restaurant

I had seen the z pizza delivery car in my neighborhood a few weeks ago. We are always looking for quality delivery and decided to give them a try. i attempted to order online, and their site was not firefox compatible. After spending 15 minutes to pick out our food, creating the order, filling in all the information, I had to call them, and they didn't get the order. Switched to IE and finally got the order placed. I received an email with an order timestamp of 6:12 pm. The email stated I would receive my food in 30 minutes. I waited 45 minutes and then called the restaurant. They said that they had my order and it had "just left". 10 minutes later, I received a call from them that they needed directions. I gave them directions to my house. another 20 minutes pass and they still haven't arrived. I call back and the same person who I had been speaking to all evening says that she lied to me before and that my food was still sitting in the kitchen waiting for delivery. I explained to her that it was now over 1 hour and 20 minutes past the time I placed my order and that i had a 2 year old who had yet to be fed as a result. She got all huffy and said "we got slammed". I said that I understood that, but that doesn't excuse telling me 35 minutes ago that my food had left the restaurant when it was still sitting there right now. Then she said, "I don't know what I'm supposed to do about that, I guess I'll get in my car and drive it to you myself". I calmly explained to her that it wasn't about the fact that they were running behind, it was about the poor communication as I had a 2 year old I was trying to feed and put to bed. She then said she'd give me a coupon for a discount on my next order. It took until 7:50 for my food to show. When it got here, it was cold and there was no coupon for a discount on my next order. The driver was very kind and arranged to have the charge reversed, but the way I was treated until that point was unacceptable.

Pros: Quality Food

Cons: Delivery Service Stinks!
