ZPizza

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

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 more

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 more

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. Cons: Service, Price, Cleanliness more

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 more

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 more

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) more

A friend of ours raves about this place so we had to try it. First, the cashier didn't seem to know much about the products she was selling. She fumbled for answers. Secondly, gourmet or not, the prices were crazy high for PIZZA. The crust was fine; the tomato sauce was basically crushed tomatoes with no spices - it's organic, I know but organic can be tasty; the toppings were fresh although sparse; and the size of the pizza was genrally smaller than I'm used to. I know a lot of pizza ""joints"" serve you on paper plates but salads served on wax paper and baskets? TACKY. Don't call your restaurant gourmet if you are going to put stuff on fastfood plates and hand out plastic cutlery. Our pizza took forever and a day to cook. Our beers were too expensive. The boardgames they had were all missing a lot of parts - so we could not even entertain ourselves. The floor was dirty. For a couple and a 2 year old to spend over $30.00 for pizza and 2 beers is a little over the top. Last straw: No one said ""Welcome"" or thank you for your business. We will never return. Pros: Healthier than usual dough and sauce. Cons: Everything else - SIGH. more

I had pizza here before, which was fairly good (although cold when I got it home), and decided to try lunch before giving up on them. Their turkey sandwich was mostly bread--cranberry sauce was conspicously missing from half of the sandwich, and really the only flavor I could taste was the mustard. The antipasto salad had barely anything but lettuce in it. No tomatoes, no cucumbers (which I believe the menu said were included), about 1/2 of a pepperoncini sliced thin, 2 black olives sliced thin, and unbelieveably 2 slices of rolled meat and cheese about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Pathetic. more

The pizza was better than most in the area. The chese and the crust were really good. I've had better sauce but by no means am I saying their sauce wasn't, just not outstanding. The spinach salad was awesome. The apple pieces on the top are a nice touch. The staff was extremely polite, patient, and attentive. The price was a little higher than I expected but I am firm believer that you get what you pay for! I'll definately order from them again and recommend it to others. more

This place had good pizza the first few times I tried them, but their quality has gone way down hill. The last few times I have ordered a pizza from them, they have been very stingy with the cheese, despite the fact that I asked for extra cheese. The last time I ordered a delivery from them, the entire outside inch and a half of the pizza was nothing but crust, despite the fact that I had asked for extra cheese. And to top it off, the pizza was already cold when it finally arrived. more

I love that the choices there are healthy & organic. The atmosphere & terrific as well as the food. This is by far my favorite place to eat! more

I've tried take out from here twice, the first time we got pizza and enjoyed it very much, even though by the time my husband got it home, the pizza was almost cold. He had to wait a long time to pick up because of some customers ahead of him who were asking a bunch of questions about the menu. It sounds like they need a separate line for pick-up only. The second time I ordered the Chicken Basil Pesto Pasta, and it was pretty bad. The pasta and chicken were very dry, even though it was covered in a very oily pesto. The pesto itself was bland as well. From my experiences I'd say stick with the pizzas since that seems to be their specialty. more

We're new to the area, so we used the City Search site's map/directions option. A trip that should have taken 10-15 minutes took more like 45. The directions weren't even close. Once we called the place from a borrowed cell phone, we were there in less than 10 minutes. It was worth the confusion and multiple u-turns. For reference, the Cary location is off High House one light past Davis in the shopping center with the Chik-fil-a and new Harris Teeter. Pros: Straight forward or ""gourmet"" style, the pizza is great Cons: None, so far more

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: Vegetarian/Vegan Menu Items more

Z Pizza rates 5 stars, maybe 4 1/2. Why? Not because they are ready to go head to head with the best, fanciest white-linen dining experiences in the Triangle, but because they are the best of breed. Yes, I would prefer china to paper plates, I would also prefer linen and a team of waiters, but ZPizza is a fast-casual restaurant, not a fine dining restaurant. Pros: Delicious Food, Beautiful Space, Patio, Great Service, Mezzanine for Groups Cons: New staff, occasionally very busy more

This is the best pizza I have found since moving to North Carolina. I have not had a chance to try all the different varieties, but I enjoy such a selection. I was supprised how affordable the pizza was for lunch. The ingredients tasted fresh, not like they came from a can. They even used Fresh Herbs. I would like to go back with my kids, I'm sure they would enjoy it too. more

My family loves trying new restaurants and live considerably far away from Z-Pizza, but when we were there for business, we tried Z-Pizza and loved it. The Napoli was simple and delicious. The pizza isn't your run of the mill ""chain"" kind of flavor. I don't see how this is in the same venu as a ""chain"", considering there are so many choices of fresh flavors. We can't wait to go back! Pros: food is excellent and refreshing in such an over-saturated pool of restaurants Cons: we need one in Goldsboro! more

Zpizza deserves fair analysis, and I would be shortchanging the place if I gave it fewer than three stars; however, I can see that the last two reviews were written by someone in league with the ownership at Zpizza. Five stars? The pizza and salads are great, but gourmet is rarely served on a paper plate. Pros: fresh ingredients; friendly people Cons: long wait and loud on busy nights more

We ordered a carry out pizza for a Friday night dinner. When my husband brought it home, I opened up the box and there was a huge tear out of the side of the pizza (equivalent to about a half a piece) My husband said he hadn't opened up the box yet, and we realized that is how it must have come from Z pizza. We called the manager and he said he knew he went the pizza out like that, and since it shouldn't have affected the taste of the remaining pieces, he didn't have a problem with it!! No offer to replace it, no apology we didn't receive the whole pizza we ordered and no apology that the pizza we received looked like it has a huge piece eaten out of it before it was given to us! One reason we had tried Z Pizza was to see if it would be a good place to order if having friends over or when my husband provided lunch for his employees. Needless to say, we DEFINITELY won't be going back. Unless you want to embarrass yourself in front of friends or co-workers, don't waste your time here. Cons: management doesn't care about the pizza or the customer more
