Z-Pizza

Like most people, I have been a huge fan of pizza! As far as I am concerned, it is very rare that I find a pizza that isn't good. As a matter of fact, even mediocre pizza is still satisfactory. With this being said, I have found a new favorite in Chino Hills! Z-Pizza is hands down the best that I have had.

I know that CPK, JoJo's (and the list goes on...) are good I would even say very good. But Z-Pizza is at least a notch above. They do the usual, peperoni, sausage, ect... but they even take it even beyond CPK. The Tuscan Mushroom Pizza is my favorite. With roasted garlic, Cremini(mini portebello mushrooms) Shitake and Button Mushrooms. These flavors give it an awesome earthy flavor. Carmelized onions, herbs, feta cheese and, truffle oil, this is truely a gourmet's delight. This pizza's flavor is too good to call pizza. If you are interested in something different, try this one! I also like the Thai and greek pizza's as well. If you like traditional pizza, try anything on the menue, this too will soon be your favorite!

If you want a sandwhich, I have only tried three, but if you know their food like I do, you can't go wrong with anything. I have tried the Currie Chicken Sandwhich, Yuppie Veggie, and the Super Sub. It is difficult to try another sandwhich when you really enjoy your favorites!

The salads are equally terrific. The Antipasto, Greek, and the Ceaser Salads are all very good as well.

Save room for dessert! The warm chocolate chip cookies are perfect to satisfy a Chocoholic's sweet tooth. But if you want something special, order the Apple Pie Pizza! This is something that you will crave every so often. At least I do. It has the perfect balance of sweet and tart with a smooth marscarpone cheese and roasted nuts. A cinnamon glaze and powdered sugar sprinkled on top, you may want to order two. One to eat there and the other to eat at home.

I have not even tried the pasta yet but I am looking forward to it! Z-Pizza is a frachise that feels and tastes like an independent restaurant. What I mean by that is that when I go to "Normal" franchises, the food is usually good, the standards are usually upheld but not special. And lastly the menue is "Safe" meaning, there are very few diviations from the norm. May be a Thai or BBQ, Pizza and to them, those are "Signature" pizzas. And yes Z-Pizza has those, but they push the envelope and bring new and exciting things! If you love great food and you love pizza, you have got to go!

There is a new location in Redlands with the same great food and the same owner, the best thing about that is that the same passion to give you great food and higher standards than any other competitor, give it a try.

The Chino Hills location is right next to Harkins Theater, it is perfect for a dinner and a movie, night out. If you are 12 or 112, it is affordable and quick. As a matter of fact, you can even order a single slice of pizza. Go there on Wednesday and a slice is only $1.50.

My Rating:

1. Food 5 Forks
2. Service 5 Forks
3. Value 5 Forks
4. Atmosphere 4 Forks ( a little too small)
5. Cleanliness 41/2 Forks

Over all, this restaurant is terrific! I think that we are fortunate to have Z-Pizza in town. Their standards are amazing and the pride in their food shows! Keep up the great work!
