The bartender greeted me with a scowl. From there, it went from bad to worse. I tried to order drinks and he walked away and got another bartender to take my order. I believe it's because I was with a black man. In fact, I'm sure of it. Open hostility for no reason is a good clue. The bartender Taylor, who DID take my order was awesome. Give her a raise for troubleshooting a problem that the male bartender manifested. read more

The pizza is unlike anything in town, Very delicious. Would recommend to anyone. The pepperoni with honey is so good read more

The pizza tasted like nostalgia. Like I needed to be in the skating rink with Ace of Base blasting. That's what the pizza tasted like.. skating rink pizza. Which is not a bad thing if you grew up in the skating rink. read more

Papa Zuzu's Pizza - Incantation - Pizza Near Me - Kelso, Washington

I was super excited to try this place as I have heard great things. I am thoroughly disappointed. The service was absolutely terrible. I almost always tip over 20% but our experience was so bad that I didn't feel the server even earned a penny. Then after ordering our pizza with one topping removed and one on the side our server disappeared and the cook came to our table and told us we are not allowed to order pizzas like that.... Apparently simple modifications due to preference and allergies is not allowed? On top of that the pizza was mediocre. I most likely will not be back. read more

The best pizza EVER!! Ok...I've never tried legit NY pizza...but as a west coaster this pizza is THE BEST I've ever had on the west coast!! Went in for the first time and ordered the half hot honey and half pep. Extra crisp ...aka "the cannibal" (an inside "haha" with staff when I ordered). My Lawd was it perfect! The crust...the crust is airy, light but flavorful. With a bit of crisp. Not too doughy or chewy. The super melty cheese and spices they put on top make it that much better! I can't say enough about the taste...just go try it. And the tippy top...the customer service was top notch. Never had such a friendly atmosphere at a pizza place before. I will be back. read more

Moved back to hometown Longview for about a 3 year stay after being gone 35 years. 10 years in The Bay Area , then my adopted home, The OC for 25, (some of the best restaurants ever). Traveled to 44 states, 11 countries including Italy, big foodie. Along with places in, SF, NY, and Chicago, I put this up there with any of them. All ingredients are noticably extremely high quality. Highly recommend. Will make my stay here before heading back just a little better. read more

So glad we found this pizza joint. Honestly some of, if not The best pizza in this area! Everyone was so friendly. We found one of favorite bartenders we've been missing (from Chinese Garden). It looks like a dive bar, but you can bring the family. There are some arcade games and pool tables in the back. Nothing fancy, but it doesn't even matter with pizza like this. The crust.... It's like a cross between pizza crust and pie crust with a touch of magic. read more

Finally decided to try their pizza. Ordered a Hot Honey Pepperoni for delivery and what came was a mess. Most of the top was burned. Like inedible burned black on most of the crust and rims of the pepperoni. And the bottom was so undercooked that even if you found a part not burned all the toppings would slide off. The flavor I could taste wasn't bad. I didn't taste much hot or honey, but I honestly didn't taste much of this pizza. I couldn't even cook it longer in the oven because it was already so burned on the top. I believe I could just be unlucky as I'm not seeing anything like this in the other reviews. I am pretty skeptical of anywhere that feels its acceptable to send out food like this though. If I'm paying almost $30 for a 14 inch pepperoni pizza, I expect it to be better than this. read more

The Cheese pizza is my new favorite, the dough is so soft. Definitely will be back the atmosphere of this place was pretty cool as well.

On our way home to the Seattle area from Portland and wanted to try something new and off the beaten path. Customer service was friendly and welcoming. Pizza was delicious, very light and flavorful, not greasy or heavy. Will stop again on our way through. read more

Papa Zuzu's Pizza - Pizza combo - Pizza Near Me - Kelso, Washington

Man, it really sucks to write this review, because I've had great pizza from this place before. Tonight (1/17/2026) I bought two pies (takeout) for $65 dollars, a Demiurge and an Enkidu - both were delicious. Great crust, great ingredients. I especially recommend the Enkidu: it has chicken, bacon, pineapple, bbq sauce, onion -- a genuinely really delicious pizza. The problem, and this is a recurring thing nowadays with restaurants all across the board, is genuinely bad staff. The store offers an app service to let you track how far along your pizza is to being ready to pick up. I walked in the store several minutes after the app already told me the pizza was ready to be picked up. I walked up to the counter, only for the front of house server, Taylor, to tell me the pizza wasn't ready and that they'd let me know when it was. No problem at all! I said thank you and sat down. Five, ten, fifteen minutes go by. It's only when one of the cooks was getting off their shift and was walking out the door that he was kind enough to mention, "Oh, by the way, your pizzas have been done. Talk to Taylor". I cannot appreciate enough his telling me, especially since he was already off the clock - give that man a raise! I didn't catch your name, sir, but thank you very much, because who knows if Taylor would have ever told me. It just really sucks that I was waiting there for fifteen minutes after I was told the pizza was ready and the front-of-house staff apparently had no interest in telling me my order was ready, when I had already spoken with two of them. Again. Food was delicious, and the cooks were super cool. Unfortunately, being treated poorly by staff who you've just paid $65 to sticks on your tongue longer than good flavor read more

Friendly staff and a great pizza. There are usually some good taps as well. In a town with a ton of pizza options, that are seldom great, Papa's had been an amazing addition. read more

Our Incantation A, add bacon & onions, pizza was delicious. Dale has been less than impressed with any pizza place here in Cowlitz County. Compared to SanDiego he has now said this is the best pizza in town. We will definitely order again. The staff was great to talk with and they have Nailed It read more

12/10 great staff and pizza is the best around. Excellent vibes they have pool and drinks. Definitely try the hot honey pep read more

We've been here twice now. Both times we ordered ahead for pick-up. Probably wouldn't ever want to eat-in, the dining room vibe leaves a bit to be desired. But the pizza is DELICIOUS. The Margherita and Pepperoni w/ Honey are our favorites. The crust is soft and chewy, and the pies are nicely sized. We'll be back! read more

Currently eight months pregnant and I have been craving the BBQ pizza from Papa Zuzu's Pizza every single day since trying it. I am extremely picky when it comes to pizza, and their crust is hands down the best around. Highly recommend 10/10 kept me from sacrificing my husband when I was in the depths of pregnancy hunger. read more

Hands down best pizza in town. It isn't cheap, but it's fresh and full of flavor. I get the incantation a with bacon. Good thing it's on the opposite side of town or I'd be broke eating there so often. All the haters are just mad about the whole Satan theme, let them bake. read more

I just recently moved to Longview and Kelso area. I was told that it was a great pizza parlor to go to. The customer service was phenomenal. It was fast easy and simple. We got the pesto cheese sticks and they were magnificent. Following this we got two different types of pizzas and the sourdough base was amazing and the pizza was cooked to our liking!! Definitely suggest eating here anytime you want something to munch on! read more

Easy to order. Pick up time was accurate. I got the veggie pie with some substitutions. Was tasty! Good for a chain spot. I didn't go inside but got take out. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely order again if I'm in the area. Staff was friendly on the phone. read more

The service was awesome. There was a brand-new employee that started today and she did a great job. The problem was the pizza was burnt. I should have looked at the pizza before I left. When I was driving home, I smelt burn't pizza. I should have looked and turned around but I kept telling myself no pizza establishment would sellyou a burnt pizza. This was my first time to this location and sad to say probably my last. Some of their on line pictures show burnt pizza so maybe that is how they cook it, either way I am not a fan of burnt pizza. read more

The new best pizza in Kelso / Longview! Their pizzas are all handmade, you can watch them toss the dough! They're individually baked in a real pizza oven and they have a great variety of unique flavors, my favorite is the hot honey pepperoni! read more

Papa Zuzu's Pizza - Hot Honey Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Kelso, Washington

We love the hot honey pepperoni pizza and the crust is pretty good. We've ordered a few times and the first couple were great. The last two have been pretty mediocre. Both times the crust seems a little on the doughy side and we wanted to order the cheesy pesto bread but get it without pesto. We requested garlic if they thought that would be good- do not recommend. We had so much raw garlic on there and it had a weird taste. The pepperoni pizza was ok but like I said the crust was a little underdone and the pizza wasn't super warm. read more

BEST PIZZA IN TOWN!! Hands down nothing in town compares to Papa Zuzu's! Build your own or try a prefixed version! Absolutely delicious!

First time coming here when the owner was here it was great. Vibe was great, food was great and service was amazing. Figured I'd come back a second time and I noticed that it's not the same crew as before. A lady with orange hair was my server for the night. I asked for a lemon drop and she poured it WAY to strong. I asked her to pour my drink into another glass and asked to get a sugar rim she stated "yeah that's not a option it's not even set up right now" and then proceeded to be super short the entire time I was here she was eating being the bar the entire time and the kids under 21 were in the back screaming the entire time while playing pool. She then handed me my pizza by pushing it so hard I had to stop it from falling off the counter. I will not be coming here again. read more

Excellent food, fresh made dough and local craft beers. They also have vegetarian and vegan options. However, they seem to book "parties" during the times when people want a good pizza. So, because of the parties they won't take orders until after 7Pm. (Fri / Sat nights) read more

What a find! Just moseying on through on the 5 and really had a hankering for pizza and boy did Papa Zuzu deliver! Pizza is an 11/10. They have pool tables, arcade games, friendly staff. The WORKS. Will be returning read more

When I called to order the guy was so weird, the entire conversation was obsurd and uncomfortable. He was snarky and had weird responses to things I said. When I went to go get the pizzas I only ordered 2 and they had 2 in front of them yet i was being charged for 4 and then she only took one off and tried to charge me for 3 still with only 2 pizzas in front of her. It was almost 80$ for three pizzas and three sides of ranch which were over a dollar a piece but were in the TINIEST portions I have ever seen. Also they couldn't stop bragging on how amazing the ranch was but it was SO mid. I am pretty sure it was a hidden valley packet in sour cream lol. The presentation of the pizzas were beautiful but they were so soft and almost soggy, the olives tasted bitter and off.. We will never be back read more

Pizza to go was very g, hot and affordable! Plan to order often. Would recommend it to anyone.

In the depth of Erebus lurks a restaurant, restaurant to serve your soul. The pizzas were pretty good, sandwiches were even better, topped of with truly metal wings that take your breath away! The service was incredibly friendly and the food made fresh to order. All surrounded by metal, truly a great gem in kelso like no other restaurant out here! read more

Have had Zuzu's twice in last month. Possibly the best pizza I've had since moving to Longview 2+ yrs ago. Perfect dough to sauce to cheese to topping ratios. Even holds up on the drive home when taking it to go. read more

Great environment, great service and definitely some of the best pizza I've had! 11/10

Tried this place for the first time last night with someone. We both left full and happy! Giving 4 instead of 5 stars solely based on only going once (so far). People were friendly, atmosphere was fun, but above all? Food was delicious, out in a timely manner, and affordable. Did not disappoint!! Definitely will be returning and recommending read more

Awesome pizza. Best in town!! The staff is very friendly and the food is ready in no time.

I have to say that this is the best pizza I have found in the kelso Longview area. I'm not saying that there aren't other pizza places in the area that are good but I found the pizza here to be the closest to what I grew up with back east. when I was unable to order from Uber, and I called the restaurant to check and see if they were going to be available on Uber that night, they were so friendly and accommodating. they even called me by my name when I called them and they answered. I felt very heard and appreciated as a customer. they even called me back to explain that if I wasn't able to get them on Uber to give them a call. well they are not available on Uber as much as I would hope them to be, their Pizza is worth it and I will be a loyal customer in the future. read more
