Z Pizza

03/20/2008 Posted by Lvern

After reading all of the reviews on this site. I just had to go find ZPizza (a little tricky to find), and see for myself what the deal was. Here's my take. First, the pizza and the salads that we ordered were wonderful. The quality of the food was on par with high end Italian restaurants. No matter what else, the food is worth the trip. We got 3 pizzas that they list as zcreations: tuscan mushroom, santa fe, zbq. All were delicious. We also got the salad with pear and gorgonzala. It had some candied walnuts, and balsamic dressing: delicious. We went on Monday, and the place was packed. Still, service was resonalby fast. It took 30 minutes, but it was very busy. The staff was very friendly. The space is beatiful. Warm colors, lots of windows, open, and most of all very clean. The bathrooms were also very clean. The place is very family friendly, I did notice that a couple of the games were missing pieces. My first experience with ZPizza was very good. I will be back and encourage anyone to try the place.

Pros: Outstanding food, great envirnoment, solid service

Cons: update board games

No better place for family pizza and game night! My husbands only day off during the week is thursday, and guess what the last thing I want to do is.... figure out how to make a healthy, fun meal for my family that doesn't take too long. Yeah right. We also try to make this our family game night. Well...one thursady we were next door at the video game store and we saw a pizza place next door. Decided to go and we found the solution to all of our problems... Pizza..healthy..board games..no dirty dishes..delicious!!! And my kids ate half of my salad! With balsamic vinaigrette!!!(requesting recipe or brand name if at all possible, haha) Seriously, I'm not from new york or anything, but when I was at the drycleaners earlier today and my children were begging to got to Zpizza, you know you've found a great place. Thanks.

Pros: delicious, healthy, fun games, lots of choices

Cons: don't sell bottles of salad dressing

Z Pizza has great tasting, organic pizza. I feel good about taking my family to eat there because not only is it good, I feel as though it is healthier than most pizza joints! The atmosphere is great and on Wednesday, they have a lady that makes balloon animals for the kids - they loved it!

My husband and I took our friends there to lunch. We sat outside on the patio as it was a beautiful afternoon. The salads were perfect - very fresh and loaded with fresh fruit, cheeses, etc. We ordered 3 different pizzas and fought over which one was best. This is perfect if you are looking for extensive variety and something everyone in the family can enjoy. We are very picky about service and were pleased with our treatment. You HAVE to try this place! I can't wait to go back.

Pros: Great variety, excellent fresh salads, great outdoor seating

Cons: none

Zpizza in cary has quite a concept, however badly they manage to pull it off. I have ordered from zpizza a few times and at best can describe the experience as ahit or a miss. I'm gonna give a synopsis on each of their dining options. First, Delivery is out of the question. When it's not on time in my experience,which is usually, it's wrong or cold. Sometimes it's only one topping off, but at 19-25 bucks for some pizza's that's just too much for me. That being said I wanna talk about eating in. I have often experienced long waits and had my pizza long finished before a salad was even made if it wasn't forgotten about. Finally, I will say that in general they have done an ok job to take out. The trick is to order in advance and too doubl check the order once you get there. In closing I guess I would say to be realistic it's about 2 and a half stars but that wasn't possible. Also I just wanted to say avoid delivery like the plague, and I would stay away from dine in's as well. Stick with take out and make sure to check your entire order and you should be fine. When the pizza is good it's good. I guess I should address the store itself by saying it looks nice very trendy and contempo theme, but the general level of cleanliness in the store could use some work!! Keep up the work and try for more cause whe it's good the pizza is really good. I just think things could be more consistant!

Pros: Huge topping list, nice design

Cons: Cleanliness,Wait Times, Mistakes

My family and I have been dining at Zpizza for a while. At first, it was great excellent food and excellent service. My only complaint had been that occasionally we got really old slices and at $2.75 for slices that come in such an assortment sizes with no uniform portion it's a bit upsetting. However, recently when dining in this establishment all of the food has seemed a little dry or just rushed together. I have also noticed that the store has become increasingly dirty and that none of the kids activities seem to be complete. Best summary, I would love to continue eating there if things went back to how they used to be, but for now I'll do without pizza that tastes like cardboard and service from a staff witha bout as much personality as cardboard. Also the kids games need new pieces just to let the management know. Being kid friendly was one of the main draws of the establishment. Taking a mop to the floor once in a while or cleaning the bathrooms wouldn't be so bad either.

Pros: Kid friendly environment, customizable toppings

Cons: Dirty, Food can be below average, Ordering and wait times can be a tedious process

We had seen Zpizza go up in Cary and decided to finally give it a try. First impression was chaos. Lines to order seemed to be everywhere. I don't even see this at a fast food restaurant much less a "gourmet pizza" restaurant, and the people behind the counters had no idea what they were selling. Dirty sums up the dining area. Food on the dining area floors, tables not wiped up. My wife and I had to do the cleaning ourselves even though two employees passed right by us without even offering to help. When we did get the pizzas they were small for the price. $30+ for the two of us and a 3 year old. And come on guys...paper plates??? If that is a company standard you need to cut your prices. The only reason for a second star is that the pizza was OK. Bad service, dirty dining area, paper plates, crazy prices for pizza. This is one family that will not be returning.

Pros: None

Cons: Service, Price, Cleanliness

We've tried multiple times to see if this place improves on the service and it continues to disappoint. Multiple customers trying to figure out where the pizza was - how hard is it to make pizza! Finally left with a refund tonite. And the place is very dirty (don't look in the kitchen if you want to enjoy the food!)

Pros: Location, Variety of Toppings

Cons: Dirty, Service

I eat here on a regular basis. LOVE the Tuscan Mushroom pizza. It has a fantastic sweet garlic taste that I haven't found anywhere else. The staff is always frierndly and most of the time the owner is there to give it a more personal touch. That is the kind of thing you just don't see much of anymore. I always reccomend Zpizza for its more "eclectic" styles of pizza. You can't go wrong here.

Pros: Friendly people, Great taste

I am at Zpizza a lot and one of employees there who always treats me so nice asked me to write a glowing review. No problem. Zpizza IS the best. The pizzas are amazing. The crust, the different sauces (try the Thai), the loads of cheese, and especially the super fresh toppings. They have like a million of them (even unique stuff like roasted eggplant, spicy chicken and spiced veggie burger) with a create a pizza option so you could go every single day for months and never have to the same pizza twice. Or you can pick one of the specialty pizza like my favorite the mexican with pico and lime chicken and avocado that is muy delicioso. They also have Calzones, salads, sandwiches, and BEER! Its not exactly cheap but eating out never is. So if you want a cardboard pizza with no taste because its cheap Zpizza is not for you. But if you really LOVE pizza like I do and you want something different and delicious Zpizza is for you.

Pros: Great pizza. Family freindly. Healthy. Really nice staff.

Cons: Funny music. Lots of kids (some behind the counter)
