Definitely would NOT recommend. Especially if you have 8 to 12 people and have any interest in sitting together. Even if they have tables available, they won't combine them if their little piece of paper says one of the tables belongs to a different section. So one table could be the difference between you eating with your family or not. Not a good first impression. This was my first time here, and it will absolutely be the last. If I could award negative stars I would. read more

They took us in right before they closed(which I normally try to avoid) and treated us a kind as anyone wonderful service and easily the best pizza I have ever had(and I've worked in a couple high end pizza kitchens). Great craft beer selection as well! I will definitely come back next time we're in town. read more

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

Dickson's best kept secret. We had Jonathan as our server who did a great job of explaining some of the pizzas we were going to try. They have craft sodas and beer which is really refreshing. They were unfortunately out of cream sodas and root beers ( mix up on a product order) we had the cheese sticks as an appetizer which was so good , it's cheese and herbs on Woodfired pizza crust and a delicious dipping marinara. Me and my husband both got the house salads that were dressed with fresh spring mix cherry tomatoes, cucumber, carrots and cheese with homemade croutons. We both got ranch as the dressing. It says buttermilk ranch. This isn't hidden valley y'all, it's a homemade herbaceous ranch dressing probably made by the person who's also outback hand churning the ice cream they have (which was delicious, we got a flight of 4 flavors) the pizzas: all Woodfired we got a personal pan of each. The White Bluff and The J.R. The white bluff is Whit's sauce and has goat cheese topped with olive oil arugula and spinach. The JR is a buffalo chicken pizza with a creamy white sauce and the best buffalo sauce I've ever had. It has banana peppers and bacon also. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a good pizza place that's out of the norm of typical small town cooking. This place is artisan in every aspect. They seemed to have stepped up their training game with their servers from past reviews I've read because when my drink got low another server took it upon herself to fill it because our server had just got a party. -that's great teamwork- i have been a server for many years and don't really cut slack for crap service and it was top notch at Zander's for us! Edit: i forgot to add that while we were waiting for our appetizers to come out my 2.5 year old was obviously hangry and just being a two year old and Jonathan brought out pizza dough for him to play with! And it kept him completely content until food arrived! I thought this was too cool of them to offer for the kids read more

Found this little gem while camping at Montgomery Bell State Park and wanted to get away from the drenching humidity that was going on last weekend so we ventured into Dickson for lunch. I am really glad we did. The place is really cute and the oven is out in the open so you can watch the staff moving food in and out of what is a very cool pizza oven. Just fun to watch. Service was absolutely spot on despite it being very busy. My husband and I split the large Mediterranean salad and The White Bluff done as a calzone. Both were excellent. That salad, though, WOW! Who gets excited about salad? I do when it is done this well. So many ingredients and so generous with them. We could not eat all of it and still have room for the calzone, which was also delicious. Their dough is so incredibly good and crispy. My son got a personal pepperoni and a scoop of ice cream and he loved all of his as well. It was also a very clean restaurant... We will go back again when we are in the area. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I am getting pretty stingy about that. You kinda have to blow my socks off these days to get that, and while it was fantastic, it didn't have whatever it takes to get me quite there, but it is pretty close! On a side note, we did leave our credit card there and they had it and made us show ID to get it back when we drove back over. I think that's smart! read more

I think this may be the best restaurant in Dixon. Good pizza, friendly service, and very tempting desserts! We came here after striking out with a restaurant nearby... we were hungry, it was late, and we weren't expecting much. We didn't even want pizza, to be honest. But we sat down and ordered because we knew this was our best bet for the hour. If you order a large pizza, they will let you do half and half toppings... so that's exactly what we did. Half was Zander's special (basically their meat lovers, with four different kinds of meat) and the other half was their margherita (just mozzarella, tomato, and basil). Pizza came out very fast and we started munching away. The pizza is actually wood-fired, and they do it very well--the crust was excellent! The toppings were of good quality and fresh (they actually used real mozzarella and not the fake plastic shreds!) and their marinara sauce was clearly homemade and delicious. My only wish was that they put a little more basil on top. We were also tempted by their dessert menu and ended up getting the cheesecake. It was surprisingly good (I think our server told us they make it in-house too) and we enjoyed it very much. Although we were told that the caramel was homemade, too, I didn't think it tasted any different from store-bought caramel syrup. The chocolate syrup is straight up just from a Hershey's bottle... but hey, that didn't stop us from eating it. read more

The best pizza in Dickson. The homemade ice cream was a huge surprise! Excellent service. Clean restaurant. Very cozy. Can't ask for much more! If you haven't given Zander's a try give yourself a treat and go! read more

Delicious food and great service. We enjoy the atmosphere and come as often as possible from near Fairview

We've been here for lunch and the food has been ok, nothing to write home about, but ok. This evening my wife wanted pizza so we made the trip to town. Our server was prompt and beverages came quickly. When we ordered we were informed they were out of sausage which was an ingredient on my wife's pizza. She requested pepperoni to replace it. However, when the pizza arrived they had substituted bacon for the sausage and no pepperoni. We sent it back. The second attempt had the pepperoni but also had black olives which my wife specifically requested NOT to be on the pizza. At this point we just gave up and went for sushi. We won't be back. read more

We arrived in town just passing through and found this gem. We ordered a personal pizza and a calzone. We decided to share both of them and they were delicious. The sauce was excellent and the meatballs were full of flavor. The place was packed but there wasn't a long wait for the food to come out. We also ordered the breadsticks with the goat cheese and my only ding would be that they could be a little more generous with the amount of bread they serve with the dipping sauce. I found we had lots of sauce left over after the bread was gone but since the sauce was so good we ate it by itself. Finally we got a scoop of coffee ice cream and bread pudding ice cream with a chocolate chip cookie. All three were delicious and a tasty way to end a perfect Yelp find! read more

I love the pizza. Should be ashamed of the cost they charge for simple wedge salad or any of the salads, the portions are way to small for the cost. Go for the pizza don't waste your money on the overpriced salads. read more

RUDE employees! I came in with my family to eat on a Friday night and we were told there was a 15 min wait. I was standing at the host desk and she said I wasn't allowed to stand there bc it was a fire hazard. I asked her where I could stand bc it's cold outside and she said "'no where in the building." I said I will go to the bar and sit if there's a seat open." Someone actually came over to me at the bar and said I couldn't sit here bc I was was waiting for a table. I told him I would order a glass of wine (which come to found out they don't have.) He shook his head and walked off. Our table was finally ready and we were seated but the staff is rude. The salads are good & so are the garlic knots but wear warm clothing in case there's a wait bc apparently you aren't "allowed" to wait inside for your table. They should clear out the tables on the right front side of the restaurant and put benches there for people to wait. read more

Decent. But not the best. The chicken bacon ranch pizza was missing something. The white sauce didn't have much flavor at all and I found it to be a bit bland(I was appreciative of the amount of bacon as the salt was much needed). Wasn't a huge fan of the sauce on the margarita pizza either. The icecream and salad were mediocre. Cute place that smells great and the crust was good. Not sure if I'd bother to make the trip again though read more

Great atmosphere. Folks are super friendly and helpful when it comes to suggestions. This was our first time there and we will be back for sure. They have creative pizza ideas. The crust is amazing. This definitely not your ordinary pizza joint. read more

We enjoyed The Dickson pizza and the stout beer. Had some mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert. Very, very tasty. Can't complain except we were surprised none of the servers or cooks were wearing masks. That would have made the experience much more enjoyable. read more

My favorite is the greek salad. The pizzas are good too but sometimes mine is burnt in places, I don't mind extra brown and crispy, but I don't like burnt. I'm still giving a great review because it's not always the case. And, yes, I know it's fire cooked, I have had fire cooked pizzas in other places that were not burnt. Like I said, it's still good food, just a heads up on the scorching from time to time. The service is usually very good as well and great selection of beers. read more

I door dashed for my friends birthday. I got a pepperoni pizza and cheese sticks. The cheese sticks tasted slightly bland to me but I know we all have our own taste buds. A little more garlic would have made them. I also had never had wood grilled pizza before. It was very interesting to me but I'm a good way! The crust was soft, not crispy. Over all good food. read more

Best pizza in dickson. It ain't skyking but it's good. Occasionally get a poorly made pizza but not often enough to whine about it. If you're too lazy to go to Kingston springs, this is your go to pizza. Solid 4 out of 5. read more

First time here and it's outstanding!! Our party loved the pizza, greek salad, custom salads, meatballs & mozzarella appetizer and the ICE CREAM FLIGHT! 4 flavors for $4 was a sweet treat at the end. Highly recommend!!! The JR pizza and chicken and bacon pizza were soooo love it! read more

This is my favorite thing to eat in Dickson. The staff is great, the food is great. I've always had a good experience

Super duper good food and ice cream!! The specials are always interesting and never fail to impress. I love the BBQ pizza/calzone and the "Luke" calzone (sausage and cheese). Family friendly and always good. The ice cream is great, too, but a little pricey. Great lunch or dinner spot. Great for special occasions, too read more

First time in Dickson. This place has some amazing pizza. I ordered the Dickson, basically a supreme. They claim to make the Italian sausage in house and I totally believe it, as it's packed with herby flavor and not overly greasy. Crust is thin and crisp. Makes me want to order just an Italian sausage and pepperoni. Nice craft beer selection and reasonably priced. read more

Love the pizza here. Nothing else like it near by. Great atmosphere and family friendly! We have enjoyed all the different pizzas they make. Their ice cream is delicious too! read more

Zander's is a fantastic place for pizza - the ice cream counter is the surprise. I can't believe it took so long to find the place. We drive about 45 minutes to get there so that's about all I need to say. Enjoy! read more

I just devoured the Vanleer! This is the best pizza I have ever eaten! I have eaten pizza in Naples and it doesn't compare. The staff very accommodating and extremely friendly! Dozens of beers to choose from, if you are in Dickson you have to try this place! This will be my new go to for pizza! read more

Absolutely delicious. Visiting from Hendersonville and wanted some good pizza. One of the locals steered us to Zander's and we are so grateful. One of the great things beside pizza you can build your own salad which I did . But of course stole a couple of pieces of the pie. Do yourself a favor and go to Zanders. Also AMY was great read more

Tried Zander's for the first time 11/9, I ordered the personal cheese pizza and it was so good. The customer service was amazing, the prices were decent. This was an all around great first time experience and I want more of their pizza. If you haven't tried this place, you definitely should. It's great! read more

This review is not based on the food, since I never had the opportunity to try it. We are traveling through TN and thought we would give this restaurant a try yesterday. Upon walking in, the place smelled great and was busy, but not packed. There were about 4-5 open tables and we were greeted as soon as we walked through the doors...it was just my husband and me. Right behind us came a party of 4 people, who were ushered to a table almost immediately. We didn't think too much of it as they were older and one was using a walker, so having her seated was fine with us...however, one of the hostesses came back and told us we would have to wait 30 minutes before we could be seated. This was NOT ok, especially when there were still plenty of open tables. My husband asked if we should have made reservations before coming in and the young lady said, "We don't take reservations" to which I asked why we would have to wait 30 min. She rudely said because there are people waiting for tables in front of you. We were literally the only ones standing waiting for a table. At that time, another party of 3 plus a high chair came in and were seated. It became obvious they didn't want to seat parties fewer than 4 at tables that were not 2 party tables in an attempt to pack folks in. We left and went to the pub down the street and had a great dinner with super friendly staff. We will NOT be trying to eat here again when traveling through. Way to go...for your lack of accommodations, you have lost our business. read more

This was the second time i've ate at Zander's and i'm wondering why in the world i don't go more often!! The crust is AMAZING. we got the Zander's pizza, which i would recommend for people that like meat on their pizza. We also shared a skillet cookie with ice cream that was SO GOOD! read more

Man the best pizza in town maybe the whole county. Wood fire pizza done right just enough topping to focus on quality most things here were in house made and the pizza was cooked not burnt or overly charred just the right amount to keep the pizza well balanced oh did i mention they also make gelatos great gelato what do i want only one scoop no no sir i want two hee hee if u are in Dickson and want pizza just come here other wise its a waste of time and money read more

The best pizza in Dickson hands down!!!! Our fave is the White Bluff (with or without Italian sausage). Sooooo good!! I'm not typically a pizza person, but when I eat it, it's Zander's! read more

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

Zander's is a great place to eat in downtown Dickson. The staff have been very friendly both times I have been in and got pizza. The reason for 4 stars is because the lack of variety on the menu. Zander's doesn't give much choice for the kinds of pizza offered, but both pizzas I got were absolutely amazing (buffalo pizza and sweet bbq pizza). The prices of the pizza is actually not overpriced. The cool thing about Zander's is you can get shot glasses of ice cream and the ice cream is made there. This is a great place to take a family for pizza night and hang out. read more

I've been here 3 times and pretty much been disappointed every time. People seem to really love it so maybe I'm in the minority, but I'm just not that impressed. The cheesy bread is really good, but the pizza is just ok, and I feel like I can get better pizza at different places in & around Dickson. The ice cream is a nice touch as well too, I will say that. read more

We don't live in Dickson. We didn't even know this town existed until the other night. But we do know good pizza. And good service. And good atmosphere. And Zanders has got it all! We were staying overnight in Dickson and wife found Zanders on Yelp. I was skeptical but gave it a shot. We rolled into downtown Dickson and found hometown America. There was an outdoor music festival going on. People were walking their kids down the street. I was caught offguard... and intrigued. We walked into Zanders, in an old building with old floors and brick walls. Nothing amazing about the layout except the giant pizza oven in the back. We ordered italian sausage and basil pizza for us. Cheese pizza for the kids. It wasn't a long wait but our server must have seen my wife stressing about the kids ( we were just in the car with them for 10 hours). And she went to the kitchen and grabbed some kids sized pizza dough and let them entertain themselves. The pizza comes out in a reasonable time and it's delicious. If we find ourselves in Dickson again (and we should find a reason to return), we will definitely be back. read more

I can't believe I'm just now discovering this place! Amazing pizza served in a cool atmosphere. Good pizza, good service, and ice cream for dessert. read more

The best pizza in town. Super-fresh ingredients, delicious crusts, and a fabulous selection of craft beer to go with whatever pie you pick. A little pricey & I wasn't crazy about the homemade ice cream (it was a little sticky? like gummy in places?) but otherwise, totally worth it. read more

Holy moly this place is great. Such a cute downtown street and the food is fabulous. The pizza was incredible with a great crust! The ice cream was so fresh and homemade. Their choice of beverages is vast. Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. read more

Very good pizza! I love the Zander and Zack. It is the Best pizza place around. The crust is amazing.

In a word, yum. Best pizza I've had outside Nashville. Homemade sorbets and ice cream. Leave your diet at home.
