Za pizza here sucks. I like how the crust on the bottom is thin, but the crusts on the edge are too hard. The tomato sauce here is basically flavorless, canned tomatoes. You can see the huge cans on the racks behind the register. I've eaten here twice. The first time I was inebriated, so the pizza was delicious. It's hard for me to think anything is not good when I'm drunk. The second time I came was during the week for lunch. The sober meal made me realize that this pizza was not as tasty as I thought it was.

Great place to grab a bite to eat.
The two of us split a calzone, which was around $6.50. Berkeley soy cheese, it was delicious and came with a sauce of chipotle pesto (you can substitute Thai, pesto, tomato.. etc sauce). Good stuff. Nice quiet small environment, everyone just sitting down for a bite to eat and some conversation.
Service was also nice, definitely good to support a place that advocates healthy food.
And did I repeat that they have VEGAN SOY CHEESE? where the hell else near Fremont/Milpitas do they have vegan soy cheese pizza? DGagte4w#$%36346!!!!!! :D

Pizza by the slice! So it's great for a fast lunch. I don't love the sauce, but it's not bad. I usually eat it so fast that it's not really an issue to linger on, anyway.

Good place with friendly owners and staff. I support this place as much as I can and the pizza is very tasty.
Good pizza, and better yet, good deals. a slice and a house or cesar salad goes for under $8 with tax, including a drink! Love the crust and the varieties of toppings. For example, the Tuscan mushroom--roasted garlic sauce, mozzarella, cremini, shiitake and button mushrooms, caramelized onions, feta, truffle oil and fresh thyme. I had a slice of the California this evening: organic tomato sauce, mozzarella, tomatoes, red onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, and black olives. Those red onions become so sweet and wonderful in the pizza! Nearly twenty topping combinations available--deelish! Also calzones and sandwiches to be had here.
Have had great service since I've come here on and off for nearly a year and half now. PIzza's not something I have often, but if I do, this place is certainly one I'll return to.

The two biggest selling points for ZPizza are that they are healthier and that more creative topping choices are available. For example, the standard cheese option is skim mozzarella and could also be substituted with soy cheese. They have 15 pre-planned combination of pizza toppings which they call their ZPizza Creations, ranging from the adventurous like the Berkeley Soy Cheese Veggie (with veggie burger crumbles) to the more typical such as American (with pepperoni, sausage, mushroom and bell peppers). For their Pizza Creations, prices (as of Novermber, 2007) are as follow: $9.95 for 10-inch, $15.49 for 14-inch and $19.95 for 18-inch.
The pizza crust is not perfect but the crispness of the pie really shines, particularly around the edges. The middle could get soggy as it absorbs the moisture from certain toppings. Toppings are applied quite generously. The dining room is brightly lit, but they do not have a lot of seating, which suggests that they cater more to take-out and delivery.
Bottom Line: A good alternative to the big pizza chains as it offers something a little different.

My pizza of choice, it's pizza without the guilt! Well, less guilt. I love the fact that there are so many toppings to choose from.
I can modify the sauce (tomato, pesto or roasted garlic), cheese (low-fat mozzarella, soy, parmesan, ricotta or feta) and endless toppings to my liking. Whole wheat crust on one side for those that are health conscious and regular crust for everyone else. I also love how this can be done entirely online; it saves me from having to interact with ppl on the other end who are likely distracted in the first place.
Before modification of course, my favorite would be the Italian: pesto, mozzarella, ham, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, black olives
Another plus, they have free delivery for those that live within a 5 mile radius and lucky for me, I do!

I like this place. They have many options like soy cheese, organic marinara for their calzones and a nice selection of salads.
I got a lunch deal: slice, salad & drink. I had a pesto slice. It tasted like it had been sitting under the heat lamp for awhile. It wasn't bad though. I think if I ordered a whole pizza & it came out fresh it would've been fantastic! I also had the pear & gorgonzola salad. YUMMY!!!! Oh my gosh, it was so good!!!!
I'll definitely be returning when in the area or will try the one in San Jose. The place was really clean & the service was friendly. Although the new cashier forgot to tell me that he had to upcharge me $1 for the "special" salad. I guess it's either a garden or caesar salad that's included in the lunch combo price of $6.95. So my meal was $7.95. Not bad. Free refills so that's good.
Loved it!

Z Pizza, aka, the most HEALTHY and YUMMY pizza ever!
MmmMMM.. Z Pizza is soooooooooo good!!! I love how healthy the pizza taste! The ingredients are fresh and the pizza is not greasy! I've tried the Sante Fe pizza with the chipotle pesto, sausage, red onions, corn, tomatoes, and some spice. YUM! The pizza is slightly pricer than the other chain pizza places, but it's so worth the price.
The pizza here is healthy, unique, and delicious. It's not greasy, the service is great, and there's a huge variety of toppings. Not your typical "pizza" experience, but more like a local version of California Pizza Kitchen.
The salads here are also quite good, and fresh.

I like this place because it doesn't look greasy and dirty like a lot of other piza places do, not to mention their pizzas aren't too greasy either. hey have a lot of healthy and vegetarian (even vegan!) items on the menu. You can create your own pizza and they have all kinds of toppings, including soy cheese, anchovies, avocado slices and a bunch of other things you ca'n't find at most pizza places. They also have calzones and really good salads. The prices are pretty good too, especially if you buy te slices of the pizza that's already been made.

awesome awesome pizza! the 'mexican' is my fave (avacadoes, cilantro, lime chicken, sour cream)..
After a weekend of tasty but unhealthy eating, I opted for the Berkeley Soy Veggie Pizza on a wheat crust for lunch today. The toppings included pesto, soy cheese, veggie burger crumbles, red and green peppers and red onion. I was not in the mood for real meat or cheese so this was a great option since it was about as light as a pizza could be.
The shtick for Z Pizza is that they offer a "healthier" version of pizza. I went there on a Friday Night and the place seem a bit like a pizza hole you would find in New York. The chairs and the dcor looked like they got a bargain at a school cafeteria discount store.
So they were running a deal for a slice, small salad, and drink for $7. Seemed like a good deal and decided to give a shot. The pizza slice was ok. It was your typical East Coast thin slice of pizza. It was less greasy than your typical New York slice which was nice but overall I wouldn't say anything special. The small side salad was huge and very tasty. I probably could have gone another slice of pizza but that would have cost about $5 so decided to pass. Prices here seem reasonable for a specialty pizza spot so can't complain.
Overall if they still run the $7 deal, I would say it's worth a shot if you're looking for something fast, but definitely nothing worth driving out of your way for.

This is my favorite pizza. The Warms Spring area came a deadzone for pizza before Z Pizza arrived. Finally there's a place for good thin crust pizza. There's much variety. There's even whole wheat crust, that's actually good. My favorite is the Santa Fe Shrimp Pizza. Fresh shrimp with a chipolte salsa and corn salsa. It's a must try. And the salads are really good.
Their pizza is okay, but their salads are yummy! I love their pear and gorgonzola salad... the candied walnuts and balsamic dressing make this a lovely little salad.

Pizza wasn't all that great but was decent enough to satisfy my pizza craving. I actually felt better about eating so-called "healthier" pizza.
Place was pretty clean and well kept.

This place ain't gonna put Mission Pizza or even Bronco Billy's out of business. But...it is refreshing to see a pizza place offer "healthy" food. You can get lite cheese and fresh veggies, whole wheat crust (which if you check out their nutritional tables on their website, is no better for you than their white crust) which tastes really good. Their pizza is not swimming in grease.
I definitely agree with Shari D. Their salads are wonderful!
They also deliver. If you are outside of their "free" delivery area, they only charge an additional $2.50. Quite a deal on a Burn-Out Friday Night After Work and Don't Even Want to Cook type-of-night! :)

Pizza for the diet conscious. They have whole wheat crust.
They also have soy cheese topping, which I never had.
So maybe great for lactose intolerant.
They have varieties like thai, mexican, pesto pizza.
Another nice thing, you can order pizza in half and half combo and try two flavors. Order to-go. They deliver in 5 mile radius, I think, which means you pick-up.

We ordered the Moroccan pizza and the Santa Fe pizza. Both tasted good - the Moroccan included a generous sprinkling of pine nuts and the Santa Fe was very fresh-tasting. The crust is delicious and rivals that of Cheeseboard Pizza in Berkeley; it is crispy, thin, and full of flavor. However, my beef with this place is that a tiny 10" pizza, which purportedly serves 1-2 people serves only 1 person with a moderate appetite and costs $10. To justify these kinds of prices, this place has either gotta increase the portion size or improve the decor in some way. The website definitely sells the place as more upscale, so we were expecting something that looked more like a CPK and less like a Subway. Next time, we will order the pizza for take-out to avoid sitting in a rather spartan room starting out into a depressing, run-down strip mall. As a helpful hint, try to call your order in advance even if you will be eating there, as the pizzas take ~15 mins to bake (not long, but it's always nice to arrive with warm pizza waiting for you).
