Best pizza in town and don't get me started on the homemade ice cream I go out every night if I could afford my waist line to be bigger than town read more

As a downtown Dickson residents, we have anxiously awaited the opening of Zander's. We love the attention given to restoring the original, beautiful brick walls and wood floors. That attention to detail gives the dining room a warm, welcoming feel. This is the type of place friends and families will love to gather. My husband and I both started with the house salads. The salads were perfectly sized, fresh and yummy! I am a fan of feta so was particularly excited about that addition to the salad. My ranch dressing, which I think is house made, was very nice. For dinner, we selected The Dickson pizza, a standard pizza of sausage, pepperoni, onions, pepperoni, and black olives. The pizza was delivered quickly and was cooked perfectly. The crust and sauce really set this pizza apart from the chain restaurants! The sauce was nicely balanced in taste and quantity. Don't you just hate when your toppings slide off a drippy pizza! That was not an issue with our pizza at all. We ended the meal with a selection of homemade ice creams...orange, blackberry, vanilla and strawberry. We spent the next 10 minutes discussing which one we liked most, and we changed our mind with each bite! The place was bustling at 6pm, but we were seated immediately and served quickly by a friendly and attentive staff. I hope the Dickson community will continue to support this little gem downtown. You will pay a bit more than for Domino's, but sometimes you need something little more special! Zander's is perfect for that. My only hit at all is that they are not open for lunch. I understand that they are starting with a limited menu and hours, which is probably a very wise way to launch! Please give your fans lunch hours in the future though. Back Alley has proven that Dickson will support that. read more

Zander's Woodfired Pizza - American Near Me - Dickson, Tennessee

See all

Bad impression from the start. The hostess tried to sit us in the seat right in front of the hostess table and when I said we didn't want to sit there she got a real attitude and said that they had a big party coming I said we can go some where else and I told the manager Shaun he didn't seem too concerned or come by to apologize I wanted to leave but we stayed to just see how the pizza was. I got the Cobb salad. We got the bread sticks and they were good. But Marcos has the pizza beat the salad was ok nothing special. However Amy our waitress was great but this will be our last time in here Dickson is a big place and has too many places to eat to be treated like that. read more

Took a long time and I personally don't like super thin crunchy pizza but if that's what your into this place is pretty good.

I stopped by this place near the end of one of my shifts (EMS) and holy crap this place was awesome!!! There wasn't much open besides fast food so my partner and I were pretty thankful that they were open. read more

Best pizza I've had in middle Tennessee

Zander's is a nice pizza joint. Is it the best pizza ever? Nope not by a long shot. But is it worthy of a stop in for some of their Woodfired pizza? Yes. You will not leave here disappointed. Service was fast, in fact the fastest pizza I've ever had delivered to my table. It was like they knew what I was gonna order when I walked in! read more

Had a great evening with our daughter, son-in-law, & grandson. We were sested promptly, despite the Saturday night surge. We all ordered calzones, which were all done to a turn and were delicious. I ordered a custom "Greek" calzone, which was perfect. Jonathan took great care of us. He was very prompt, attentive, courteous, & professional. The live music was good, although the loud volume interfered with conversation (especially with for my toddler grandson). Overall we had a experience. read more

Excellent pizza but they charge gratuity of 18% on the receipt. You are not informed of this and we almost paid an extra 20% on top of this. Nearly 40% tip! read more

I first went to Zander's right after they opened a few years back and I was excited to see, what I thought was a local, low-key, friendly restaurant. As they had just opened, there were a lot of things to work out. The food had a funky taste, they didn't have many options and for whatever reason, the staff was rushing us even though it was not busy. I gave it some time and thought I'd try it again. The food has significantly improved! The salads are really fresh and the pizza and cheese sticks are also really good. I think it's neat that most of the ingredients are local and all the beer they serve is brewed in Tennessee. However, not only was I rushed, but my waitress, Wendy, had a huge stick up her butt and was NOT pleasant to be around. I hate that I love the food here so much because I won't go back, just because of the service. This is not a good place to relax or try to enjoy a meal. You better eat fast and get out of there. read more

I want to start by saying we have eaten here 2-3 times a week since moving here in 2020. We love the pizza and service and have never had an issue until today. We took my mom to eat dinner on a Thursday night 6 pm, walked in and asked for a table of 3... no line and 4 empty tables in front of us. They asked if we could sit at the bar and we said could we have 1 of these empty tables and they said no, they are reserved in case large parties come in. They said it would be a 20 min wait so we waited, then after 20 min we asked for the manager, he was on break so we waited 10 more min for him... by the time he came out the tables were still empty and he said we were about ready to be seated..(30 min wait, no line, 4 empty tables).... My mom grew physically tired from standing as they took away the benches outside so we told the manager we were leaving and he said cool. I'm so disappointed in this manager today 09/01/2022 as we loved Zander's and are sad we probably won't return. read more

Pizza is really good. We have been several times and service is hit or miss. The first time we went I was really excited to try their ice cream until I saw a worker take a sample spoon and try 2 different flavors with the same spoon. Now I can't bring myself to try the ice cream. I will just take everyone else's word that it is good. read more

Finally got to try this place out. Long over due. It was really good pizza. The crust was thin but not too thin. Sometimes thin crust can be like a cracker. Not this crust it was perfect and had a really good flavor. I ordered the special shrimp scampi pizza with their signature white sauce. Yummy. My husband ordered the Zack. The red sauce has a little spice to it and is really good. I also got the dark chocolate brownie with coffee ice cream. So good. All the ice cream is house made. The only thing my husband didn't like was all the beer is craft beer. He is a die hard Bud light Man. I love craft beer. Definitely will be back. read more

Wasn't expecting a place like this in dickson great pizza my wife and i shared the white pizza and peppercini and black olive pizza both great but the white was the best either of us have ever had , everything was fresh and local . if you're in the dickson area this place is a must . read more

I really expected an awesome artisan experience judging from the reviews on Facebook. I think that they were likely reviews by friends of Zander's. Well, I did get an experience, yes, more than one. Atmosphere is nice, but bland, with 100+ year old brick walls, same vintage wood floors. Pretty oak hand built wood tables and bar top. The restaurant is very clean with a friendly and attentive staff. We wanted a sample of their menu, so we ordered salads, bread sticks and a large Zander's Signature pizza. The salads were promptly brought. Fresh veggies, homemade dressing, plus croutons. I say croutons but... they were more like ultra-crunchy bits of hardened wood. They were extremely over cooked; petrified like almost. I found this out after the first bite. I bit into a crouton and experienced something that I've never had in a restaurant. The crouton was so hard that it cracked a filling in my tooth that required a crown to fix. More than hard, it was almost like a crunchy stone. Well, but what about the pizza? The ingredients looked good, but the crust was like a thin, limp, almost soggy cracker. Horrible crust. Under cooked, even though the bottom was toasted. Disappointing! Taste test. Disappointing too! It had a strong CHEMICAL taste to the crust that permeated the whole pizza and destroyed the potential of the fresh ingredients on top. The bread sticks too had that chemical taste, in spite of a lot of nice cheese on them. We are never going back to Zander's and no, as a rule we don't complain. We just do not return. Their ice cream looked good, but we left without trying it, in disappointment of Zander's, but still enjoying each others company, for it was our wedding anniversary. Rating: Service - plus. Ambiance - plus Food quality-minus Food taste- minus Restaurant experience - minus One star is generous, but I like to be reasonable in reviewing. Just as I was to our server, Keaton, a good server, we tipped her generously. She was not responsible for horrible pizza and a broken tooth filling. Let the eater beware.

Fantastic surprise! We were traveling through Tennessee and stopped in Dickson. Looked up restaurants and chose Zander's. The salads were delicious! The pepperoni pizza was devoured quickly And we topped off the meal with ice cream. If you're in town, try this place read more

I would give it ZERO if possible. The last time we ate there, all 3 pizzas had an issue. One had a hair, one was burnt and the chicken on the 3rd was spoiled. Tonight we decided to give it another try. NEVER AGAIN! My husband recently had the front part of his foot removed and we sent our daughter ahead to get a table (since he can't stand). They refused to seat her without the rest of the party (us). My husband then called to ask them to seat her as we were on the way. The female employee that answered the phone HUNG UP ON HIM. The manager met us upon arrival and proceeded to inform us that my husband is not disabled. I practically lost my mind! He has a disabled parking hanger (but he can't even drive right now), he can't walk or stand for more than necessary to move place to place, and is deemed disabled by the state and his DOCTORS! I'm not sure where Shawn the General Manager received his medical training, but he's not on our health insurance as a provider for a reason. I WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER eat there again and I would NOT recommend for anyone else to patronize this establishment. Zanders had one chance to restore our last image of them and they not only failed MISERABLY, I'm sure the ADA would be interested in their practices. read more

My favorite pizza place in Dickson county. Excellent service and amazing pizza and calzones. They have cheese garlic bread that is great. We will be visiting often ! read more

I have only been to Zanders a few times but this last experience was worth mentioning. I ordered a pepperoni pizza to-go around 630pm and arrived to pick it up at 650pm since they estimated the pizza being ready within 15 minutes. When I got to the restaurant I noticed a very large party around 20-30 people being very difficult. My pizza was not ready until about 7:10pm. I am not one to complain or try to get anything free ever. I actual did not say a word to the manager or hostess, who had helped me pay initially. While waiting the young hostess apologized for my wait and gave me a free scoop of ice cream. Once my pizza was ready the manger told me he had voided my transaction and gave me the pizza free, without me complaining or even mentioning the issue. I appreciate how they handled the situation and the pizza is always amazing. read more

Found ourselves in Dickson. Many of the eateries are closed this week. We decided to give Zanders a try and were not disappointed. At lunch the place was packed. The server was attentive. Our orders came quickly and were delicious. I will return read more

Been coming here for a year pretty regularly. When it's not busy the food is good. Don't bother bringing a large party and if there is a wait on a hot day, you're on the sidewalk waiting as there is no waiting inside. Waited for :30 minutes and saw 3 parties jump ahead of us instead of combining tables and seating a larger party. The hostess was rude and proceeded to talk smack after we were seated. Spoke to the manager who could care less. It's run by kids and it shows. This was my last visit. Plenty of other quality places in Dickson. read more

We have been there several times and have not been disappointed. The wood fired pizza is very good and the crust comes out crispy and is so good!! The service was very good also. A great place for a casual dinner. read more

We had heard good things and wanted to check it out for ourselves. We were seated and well taken care of by the wait staff. The food was amazing and the salad was gigantic! The bread sticks were good and the marinara sauce was even better. read more

Excellent dining experience. Service was great, food was amazing. Started with mozzarella and tomatoes. And had the Zander pizza. Everything was fresh with veggies grown locally. Tried the flight 4 which was 4 shot glasses with 4 of their homemade ice cream flavors. Would definitely return next trip through Town. read more

Horrible service by waitress. Not sure why our pizza sat so long, long enough to be cold. Wood fired pizza should be blazing hot. She finally returned to our table when the pizza chef said something to her. We couldn't even get drink refills! Just a bad experience. No need to go again. read more

Delicious pizzas and salads. Friendly staff. Be nice to see pasta on the menu as an alternative to just pizza.

This is the 2nd time I've eaten here and food has been pretty burnt. First time they brought us a new pizza. Last week I called in a calzone to go and didn't look at until I got home. Some places on the outside were so burnt couldn't eat them. Besides that was good! read more

The pizza was tasty but the Cobb salad wasn't the best. They make their own ice cream in house and give free samples. Our server was very sweet and offered suggestions for things to do while visiting Tennessee. read more

Yummy! I don't dislike the pizza, it's just not my favorite, being wood-fired. I absolutely LOVE the calzones though. The salads and cheese sticks are good too! read more

One of the best places to eat in Dickson! Makes you feel like you are in Nashville it somewhere else other than Dickson!

Good pizza. I went during lunch several months ago and the serving staff were more interested in socializing with each other than taking care of customers. Had to ask for refills and the check even though there were very few customers. Haven't returned so the pizza didn't outweigh the experience, I guess. read more

One of the best and closest to being authentic Italian pizza I have eaten in the US. Growing up and having lived in Europe among Italians most of my life, I am used to thinly but richly covered (toppings) yet balanced pizza. Sadly most pizza places and chains in the US have veered to thicker pizza with either too fee or too many toppings. Filled crusts? So not Italian. My wife and me thoroughly enjoyed the food. The restaurant allowed for conversation but lacked somewhat in atmosphere. A clean and neat place that doesn't encourage lingering. read more

Great atmosphere. Very friendly and attentive but not obtrusive staff. We got the Zander pizza, and it was great. Lots of meat. Wouldn't have minded a spicier sausage on it, but everything was very flavorful and good. If we lived there, we would definitely be back! read more

I really was hoping for a superior pizza place in this area, but unfortunately that was and is not the case for this locale. We ordered two pizzas and to say that we were disgusted is a massive understatement. My family and myself are huge pizza lovers and neither my 3 or 2 year old would finish the first slice. Both of the pizzas were covered in ash and tasted like, well nothing that I can really compare it to except possibly chemically covered cardboard. Folks, please do yourself a favor and either go with the typical American pizza chains or make your own!!! read more

One of the best pizzas I've had in Tennessee. The crust is tender and crisp and the fillings fresh. The sauce is light and tasty and compliments the fillings. If your a pizza but or Jets fan the pizza night not be for you, but if you like a good wildfires pizza give this a try now! read more

I just came back from a business trip in Chicago where I ate at a highly rated local place. Zander's beats them hands down. Everything is so fresh, so good. Julia is awesome, service unbeatable. We feel so fortunate to have such a great place right here. It's better than anything in Nashville. read more

Very impressed. The staff is very friendly. Atmosphere is great. The food was excellent. It's easy to get burnt out on the same choices all the time, it's nice to have something new and different for a change. Not to mention the homemade ice cream. It was perfect. read more
