When Key West locals need a late-night slice of pizza or an authentic Philly cheese steak, they come to us. We're local, we serve beer, we're open until 4 AM, and our food speaks for itself. Next time you find yourself in our neck of the woods, belly up to our counter, order a slice or some stromboli, and tell us it's not the best thing you've ever eaten.

Q:
Was wondering if you sell the special san marzano tomato pie by the slice, instead of a whole pie? Hopefully yes. I will be in town this Friday, so hoping to get an answer before then. Thanks 😎
A:
They had slices when I was there! Nothing like late night cheesesteak and slices!

We love what we do and love customers like you Kasey! But you taking the time to write such a wonderful opinion of our cheesesteak just absolutely made my day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it’s the fuel that keeps me and my staff going! -Mike Z/Owner

By far the best pizza I've ever had. Also, best pizza by the slice as well! I should mention the owner/founder is originally from Philly who brought delicious and authentic Phillys and pizza to Key West! Our first pizza we ordered was sausage, mushrooms & onions. After eating here two more times before leaving KW we realized the first pizza (w/sausage, mushrooms & onions) had a slightly thicker crust. It was still New York style, giant slices, thin, hand tossed crust with all sorts of crispy goodness. It think that the more toppings you have the thicker the crust, maybe. The sausage is actually square which was different but so good! The mushrooms were canned but they were still good because they seemed to dry out a bit in their super hot ovens. We also ordered 2 Phillys. One with their traditional homemade white cheese sauce with mushrooms & onions and the other with cheese whiz, mushrooms & onions. They were both delicious but we agree that their famous white cheese sauce is simply the best (but you can't go wrong with either).
The next time we ordered a cheese pizza with bacon on one half. Also a fantastic pizza but this time a bit thinner crust than the 3 topping we had 2 days prior. The pizza stands up perfectly when holding it up and easily folds in half to take a bite. We really enjoyed this pizza as much as the first one.
The last time we ordered was super late night in an attempt to sober up for our walk back to the condo. We shared a slice of cheese, a slice of pepperoni and a Philly with white cheese sauce, mushrooms & onions. When walking into the extremely packed establishment you'll see 10+ pizzas cooked and stacked waiting to have a slice or two pulled off, places in the oven and served to hungry, tired, drunk, locals and tourist. LOL The pizza by the slice was just as top notch as the whole pizzas. We also agreed that the Philly was excellent late night as well.
When walking down the street and approaching you'll get all the amazing smells! I love how tiny and packed the place is. The cooks are all working together like a well oiled machine. The cheese fries looked so good but I'll have to try those next time. If you don't get pizza and Philly from here when in Key West, you're doing it wrong!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We are happy to know that you loved our pizza and cheesesteaks, Tiffany! It's great that our unique sausage and traditional white cheese sauce hit the mark. It's also wonderful you appreciated our thin, crispy crust and the effort we put into our cooking. Looking forward to serving you our cheese fries on your next visit.

This is a pizza slinging take out joint.....the crew is fast and efficient and know what they're doing.
The credit card machine was broken so it was cash only when I went so it narrowed down our choices. We want to return to try their famous Philly cheesesteak next time.
Great sauce on the traditional pizza, and the crust is light and thin like a great NY style should be. The white pizza was really flavorful ....heavy on the olive oil but the pizza dough shines in this one.
Great late night pizza stop!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We're glad you enjoyed our traditional and white pizzas, Shelly! We're pleased our thin crust and tasty sauce were to your liking. Apologies for the inconvenience with our credit card machine; rest assured, it is now resolved. We look forward to an opportunity to serve you better in the future.

While Mr Z's may be short on ambience, they more than make up for it with their food quality and great, personable service!
I visit the Island about 3 times each year. My favorite menu item is the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with mushrooms and sharp Provolone. It's to die for.
The service is always friendly and professional. If I could give them ten stars, I would!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

This little place was a total gem! We ordered a small pizza with pepperoni and bacon, a Philly cheesesteak and cheese fries to split between three people. We were very impressed with the quality, the quickness of receiving our food and to be honest, the fun attitude the guys working provided. We also had $3 Rolling Rock, so that was great too.
Thank you guys for a fantastic lunch. We will be back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Phil, we're happy to hear that we could give you such a warm (and cheesy) welcome to Key West! We hope you come back and see us again anytime you're in the area.
Many thanks,
Mr. Z's Old Town Management TeamDec 10, 2019Previous reviewPizza always great. Mr Zs was the first place I went to after checking in to my hotel. A slice of pepperoni pizza and a coke. Will probbly be the last place I go when I leave Key West.
Jan 18, 2016Previous reviewReally awsome pizza. Better then any pizza I've had in Indy. Very much NY Style that I love. Fold in half yummy. Super busy place with three guys behind the counter working their butts off. Even got to hear some DJ Sammy - Heaven.

Superb! Service was fast, friendly, and immediate. A small pizza was $15 but a pretty large size (more than enough for two hangry adults). We ordered half cheese and half onion. It took 15 minutes for our pizza to be ready. The pizza tasted amazing!
They use Toast to process their credit card transactions.
The inside is small but who cares? I don't get when Yelpers complain about parking and downscore the business. It's literally in the heart of everything. Parking for customers would be financially unsustainable. They don't control the lack of street parking. Walk or don't blame the business for lack of parking.Helpful 30Thanks 3Love this 31Oh no 0 - Kat F.Miami, FL0147Apr 19, 2024

One of the worst restaurants experiences I've had in my life. They made us use the atm because the there machines were not working so an extra 3 dollars. Then they are more interested in the golf on tv than the customer. Ordered two slices of pepperoni that are premade and sitting for who knows how many hours. Sat down for 20 mins allllll alone in the tiny restaurant to watch another customer walk in and get the same thing in 1 minute and then I tell them hey I've been waiting 20 mins and then they said they forgot about us sitting less than 5 feet away from them for 20 mins talking about tiger woods. Absolutely disgraceful. And after all that I couldn't trust these jerks making my food and we lost my money too.
Update. Mike contacted me directly and said he would refund us but never didHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I apologize Frank, this is completely unprofessional, and I agree 100%. The 5G WiFi went out around 3pm today, hoping it comes back soon (4:18 as I write this).
One of those guys giving awful service are being paid to be a manager, I do wish you would’ve let them correct it on the spot, but I understand wanting to get out of there, and I am obviously refunding your money for this disaster regardless.
Check the direct messages for my contact info, please contact me immediately so I can get your refund quicker.
As to anyone else reading this, I hope you’ll see the hundreds of other reviews raving about our service and know that we are not in the habit of giving bad service.
Again, I apologize and I’m embarrassed by this.
