zpizza (throughout U.S.)

So what’s a busy girl to do when there are too few hours in the day for work, an empty fridge, unexpected company coming over, and picky eaters at that?  Call for delivery!  Luckily, I have a zPizza not too far away that I can call in a pinch while I’m on my way home and can meet them at the door.  Whew!

Coincidentally, I received a coupon in my e-mail for a free salad with purchase, so I remembered to use it… for once!  I really liked it, and although it may just be seasonal, I would love if it was available year round.

By the way, zPizza emphasizes fresh ingredients, and caters to vegan, gluten-free and other diets.  Still, they do have a sense of humor even on the packaging for their sandwiches.

P.S. – The last word is actually shiitake.  🙂

I really, really like this sandwich.  I tried it another time when a coupon came around, and it is still as good!  And I know what you’re thinking, “A sandwich from a pizza shop?”  I totally understand, but it’s definitely better than a lot of sandwich-only restaurants…

Possibly an odd choice to order pasta, but I wanted to throw in something for the non-pizza eaters.

Berkeley Vegan
Vegan cheese (but I substituted for mozzarella), Bell Peppers, Button Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Veggie Burger, Red Onions, Zucchini

Yes, I ordered a vegan pizza, but substituted regular cheese.  Odd, but we had vegetarians, not vegans with us, and I just like vegetarian cheese better.  Still, the veggie burger is surprisingly good, so I kept that on.  Also, I love that zPizza does not skimp on the veggies like most pizza places do.  Yay!

So, all in all, this definitely will be my go-to pizza chain in a pinch because they deliver and their stuff is the best!
