the wife and daughter were at a baby shower so the boy and i caught a movie and a late lunch. he felt like pizza and we were close enough to ZIGZAG that i figured we should give the "new" place a try. not surprisingly, WYATT settled on THE NUMBER ONE HIT (mozzarella, fresh garlic, fresh basil, tomato sauce -- hold the basil) since he's your basic cheese pizza kinda guy. i took the recommendation of the rascal turning out the pizzas and had THE WHITE ALBUM (blackened shrimp, spinach, caramelized onions, slivered almonds, garlic and 5 cheese sauce). these guys take a minimalist approach. this is not your basic doughy, mid-west style pizzas piled high with toppings. decent crust -- still getting used to ordering lunch in a cafeteria line. pretty good but not great pizza. interesting, out of the ordinary drink selection. lots of bottled beers. WYATT and i had ITALIAN cream sodas. more subtly flavored (and not as sweet) than their aggressive AMERICAN cousins. read more

We took a bike ride from Carlsbad to ZigZag Pizza in Oceanside. By the time we arrived we were famished, hot, and thirsty. It's a build your own pizza/salad place where pizzas are around $8-9 and there are refrigerators filled with beer and other cold drinks. The pizza was hot and crispy thin crust - I can't remember my exact topping combination, but it was lots of veggies and goat cheese (yay, no casein like cows milk!). There are small tables and also a large communal one that seats around 20 people comfortably. Very casual, owned by the Cohn Family Restaurants company: http://www.cohnrestaurants.com/ Will stop by for a quick and inexpensive lunch or dinner in the future! read more

I liked the concept of make your own salad/pizza. Pros: * Variety of salad/pizza toppings * Ability to personalize your meal to exactly what you want * Good price point * They also have wine and beer and give you a Mason jar to drink out of :) Cons: * Service: Yes, you work in a "hip" little place by the beach. But you can also be nice to your customers instead of acting like you are too cool to be a server. Um, that's your job homie. * The steak topping for the salad (carne asada?) was overcooked, chewy and served cold. No bueno. I might go back and try something different, but hopefully the staff will have better attitudes. read more

Great pizza, not a busy place and a perfect crust! Custom order what you like no lining up like the other chains. Great seating outside patio chairs that actually are comfortable! Fantastic my new fav place in Oside. read more

The whole set up can be improved. We waited in line to place our order at one register, and then waited in another line to pay at a separate register. Once we paid for our order we waited for a pizza for over 30 minutes. So in total about 1 hour of wait time. We waited so long we finished our drinks and got in line to pay for second drinks. That was another 20 minute of waiting. Does the AC/vent not work in this place? There was an excessive amount of smoke in the dinning area. Everyone in the restaurant had watery or irritated eyes. The employees aren't happy to work there. The girl with the facial piercings has a bad attitude and is disrespectful towards customers. She went around arguing with customers. I was surprised nobody complained while I was there. read more

Good pizza. Little overpriced... they get you with the drinks all being in the cooler - so no free refills.

Solid pizzas . Love so many options for to choose from when you are building your own pizza. The price is really great. The only thing that did not impress us was the salads . We tried two and none of them were good to re-order the next time. read more

It's Valentine's Day and the misses and I didn't make reservations anywhere so we decided to order in. It was our first time ordering pizza from ZigZag and it sure won't be the last! We loved the thin crust, it allowed room to taste all the toppings. New favorite pizza read more

I was really excited to come here and finally try this place out when I was done fishing with my friends one day nearby the Oceanside Pier. In my honest opinion, I think their pizzas here were just ok. They did their job by satisfying my hunger, but I just didn't get full of their pizza. I've been to other DIY pizza places and was completely happy after three slices, but with ZigZag, I was left waiting for more. Possibly upping the amount of toppings for a more of a filling feeling would really help. One other tiny detail is that with such a beautiful location, and people coming in and out, the staff here could do a little work on their customer service skills. I felt like most of the guys here very short. The best part about this place is their ridicously awesoms beer selection!! read more

I've been really wanting to check out ZigZag and recently my husband and I finally got the chance to stop in. I opted to make my own with tomato sauce, pineapple, chicken, mozzarella, feta, and goat cheese, and my husband had a gluten free thai (one night in Bangkok) pizza. The toppings on my pizza were delicious and the crust was pretty good, however the sauce was pretty much non-existent making the pizza pretty dry and heavy. It would have been worlds better with some sauce. My husband was very disappointed in his gluten-free pizza. It came out much smaller than the 11 inches it was supposed to be and looked pretty sad next to mine. He's had much better gf pizza elsewhere, and my pizza was just alright, so we probably won't be back soon. I was impressed with ZigZag's wine and beer selection. They have tons of craft beers, a good wine selection, hard ciders, something for everyone! Our cashier was also very friendly when we ordered. read more

Delicious! Our party enjoyed the following pizzas & salads: - Smoke on the Water salad - China Girl salad - Pepperoni pizza - The White Album pizza The pizza is a thin crust yet sturdy - holds it's contents without folding over. They have a few different sauces to choose from. The White Album had spinach, blackened shrimp, & almonds. It is worth every penny. Delicious! The salads are chop chop - I love. No fighting the greens with my human teeth (as versus horse or cattle teeth, which are far better designed for chomping greens). The salads bowls look average sized. They are NOT. Those bowls house at least two heaping servings of salad. One salad is enough for two of you for sure, four people if you're not huge salad fan or are lunching. If you're in the area - pop in. It's a less expensive delicious alternative. read more

Ok so I almost had a meltdown here it could be the place was making the simple task of beer, pizza and salad way to hard or that I just ended a 8 hour drive with my 5 and 2 y/o. Ok so appearance was nice and very clean.. You begin their deal with ordering a one size pizza that feeds 2 ppl so we get 2, then you can order a customized salad that someone will toss for you but your speaking thru glass that is taller then me (5'6) and there's music background noise, so there's a lot of huh... What... Ehhh... Sure?!? Next you choose from liquor store type beverage coolers where you get a 6 packs for $17.99.. Ya that much! There is also a middle aisle of condiments that your not told about so you go in a circle to figure out why you have no plates for your pizza or forks for your salad to then find this thing that you walk right by. A previous douche was nice enough to leave the red pepper lid loose for us so that happened too, but thanks to my 2 y/o it spilled on the table not my pizza. All in all will I come back?? No probably not.. Maybe to get a beer to go since we stay at Wyndham. read more

I'm happy to see this place up and running. I think it will do great as an extension of the hotel. Tons of pizza has opened up downtown and I happen to think that is a good thing. Hopefully with all that competition, the winner will be my tummy. There were a lot of employees working. They are clearly investing in this new venture. I do think it would have been helpful for one of these many employees to have explained how the process works. We were greeted by a professional looking blonde woman then walked to the pizza area to talk to a guy who looked like he was meant to work in a pizza place, pony tale and all! He was super friendly and excited about our twin babies but kept talking or getting distracted every time we tried to order. He was charming enough for it to be humorous rather than rude though. Turns out you can only order pizza with the first person then must walk down and order salad from the salad person. Then you go pick out your drinks from several well lit glass cases and tell the cashier what you ordered and pay. We order the ZZ Top pizza which is basically a classic pizza. Pepperoni, sausage, meatballs and mushrooms. I don't remember the "title" of the other pizza but it was some sort of black bean sauce with a bunch of veggies and it was tipped with cotija cheese. I LOVE cotija so this was very tasty. The salad we bought was called Bohemian rhapsody. It was tasty. It was something like a spring mix with veggies, corn, a light dressing and COTIJA! Overall everything was tasty. If I were staying at the hotel I can imagine being stoked on the beer selection and huge selection of cartons of Ben and Jerry's. Since we were leaving and not going back to our hotel room we opted to get dessert at another downtown establishment. I hope this place does well. I can easily see the fam bam picking up food and taking in down to the beach in the not too distant future. read more

Beach vibe and Rock n Roll Soul. Solid pizza and salad choices. Never mind all the beer, wine and ice cream choices. read more

ZIGZAG Pizza - Picture doesn't come close to the solid pizza and salad choices. Never mind all the beer, wine, other drinks and ice cream choices. - Salad Near Me - Oceanside, California

We love coming here when we are craving a good pizza. A pizza and a salad is the perfect amount for 2 people to share. My favorite is the white album pizza but my husband loves the stairway to heaven. You can't go wrong with either one!! We love that the crust is on the thinner side but still delicious. They do make gluten free crusts if you need one! As for salads smoke on the water is by far the best one in our opinion. We always go get that one!! And now the beer selection is awesome!! Nothing better than pizza with some delicious beer. They even have Ben and Jerry ice cream for sale as well! You can't go wrong! read more

Checked this place out on a chilly Thursday night, because I've had really good luck with Cohn restaurants over the years. ZigZag did not disappoint. We got pizzas and salads to try out a taste of both. Both were excellent. Pizza was so good that the carnivore in the group didn't even realize the pizza was veggie until after the first slice. It was that good. They have plenty of meat offerings too, but the Light My Fire pizza was so tasty it didn't matter. Really excellent (bottled) beer selection also. Staff was great, could not have asked for better and friendlier service. Just all around it hit the right note. Well done. read more

The pizza at ZIGZAG was decent but nothing to write home about. My wife and I ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza and it prepared quickly. The lady that took our order was friendly. The pizzeria has no restroom of its own and shares the restroom with the hotel next door which is very conveniently closed right now. The pizza itself is less than Domino's quality pizza with a New York pizza style price. Next time we will just order Domino's and save our money. read more

This place just opened down the road from my condo. Walked over to try it out. Wow, at first impression, looking at the beverage selection... Insane! You don't even mind the lack of draft beers with the selection of local and standard beers and wine. A total of 9 open door coolers for beer, wine, and non alcoholic drinks. I ordered a ZZ Top (meat and mushrooms) to go. I had a beer while I waited but ended up eating the pizza here it was so quick! It was amazing, thin crust and just the right size. I will definitely be back! Good work guys, welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Delish. We've eaten here before but I haven't been able to leave a review. We did the HH pizza and beer. $13 and some change and it was worth it. Very clean and the staff is friendly. read more

We dream about this pizza when we are in Texas. It is the best pizza I've ever had. We get the ZZ Top and Satisfaction.

PHENOMENAL PIZZA!!! I literally can't think of a better pizza I've ever had, and I love pizza! First you wait in a line to the left and order your food. Then you go to the opposite wall and pick out your drinks. Then you get in another line to pay and get a table number. Then you pick out a table to seat yourself and wait for the food to be delivered. But DO NOT sit outside if you picked out any alcoholic beverages, because that's apparently against the law. Phew! That was a lot of work... But then (drum roll please) the pizza arrives!!! read more

Their website and social media sites claimed 20% off. When we got there they would not honor it. We had already ordered and felt tricked into paying full price. Do not recommend, will not be back. read more

We were on our way to the beach and saw that this place had good reviews so we checked it out. I created my own pizza which was cool. The pizza's were all about $9 and it can feed two people so that was great. It was very tasty but not the best pizza I've ever had so that's why I gave it 4 stars. I would recommend it to others who want a tasty pizza. read more

Went here tonight for first time with a friend and it was good. Personal pizzas starting at $8.50 that you can choose from ZigZag specialties or build your own; there are also salads available. They also have refrigerator cases to go pick out your beverage and the choices are countless. They also have beer & wine. The place is urban-industrial decor and cool tunes playing in the background to suit everyone's taste. The employees were all friendly and accommodating if you needed anything. They only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because all the seats are metal stools ( with no backs on them ) - which can be hard on people needing their backs supported - like me. Other than that, I will recommend them. read more

Went in on a Sunday around 1130 for an early lunch and it was the perfect time. When we left about an hour later it was filling up. I liked the idea of building your own pizza (although i ordered one off the menu) but I was especially impressed with the beer selection! Wow this was like going to bevmo or something. There were literally 5 fridges full of beer and wine to choose from. Lots of the local classics too which I loved (PB Stout from belching beaver is my favorite. We waited about 10 mins for the pizza to come out and it was really delicious. All the workers there are really helpful and friendly. It was a bit warm inside and there were some flies that would not leave us alone. Overall, I was definitely impressed with this place. I told my friends about it and we already made plans to meet there this week. Thanks for a great experience. read more

Seems everyone bashes this place on a personal level. Pizza is great, wine and beer selection is great and the salads are hand made. They WILL let you know if there is a time delay on orders. 5 stars because it's a great ambient. Have a beer, relax and if you have nothing good to say please don't whine about it! read more

Third time here I love their salads decided to try their smome on the water salad, very good! ZZ top pizza was better the first time. Love their crust. read more

We ordered the "White Album" pizza which was good and another pizza with artichokes and veggies, which was bland. Pros - Very fast - Cheap (around $8.00 for a small) - Nice premade options or the ability to make your own - Good selection of microbrew beers - Nice decor Cons - Most of the pizzas have so little cheese and tomato sauce it is hard to tell whether it is there - Tastes like fast food pizza. Doesn't even come close to Breakwater, Carmines or Pizza Port - Could use more tables - $6 for a self-service bottled beer seems pricey - One of the worsed crusts I've had in North County - The cold air from the 12 large refrigerators cools your pizza off in minutes - Little free parking nearby read more

I'd like to come back and give it another try. I liked my experience overall. My wife and I got two pizzas and a salad, plus a beer and the total was $29. The salad was quite filling. My Mexican beer was $3 (bottle). The pizzas themselves are reasonably priced at around $8 (personal sized around 10in maybe). Location is pretty good, it's nice having another pizza joint option. A fair amount of beer to choose from (all bottles), some pint sized. ...looking forward to trying again. read more

So happy to see a solid and well deserved 4 Star rating! Zig Zag has a location under a hotel and is virtually on the beach. A lot of times this sort of location breeds a complacency in service and standards. Not here. The service, standards, and pizza FLAVOR matches the location. Plenty of beer and sodas as you order and the toppings list matches international expectations. In other words if you want a cheese or pepperoni pizza for the kids it will be excellent. If you want roasted tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and feta cheese you would not be disappointed either. Somehow Zig Zag zigs and zags into perfection for any discerning pizza consumer! read more

Close at 10 pm and they are sure to let you know. They are closing out their register at 10 so get out. You Can order to go but be aware they have nothing for to go. No plates so if you plan on sharing you will be eating from your salad bowel together or pizza box. No delivery even to the Wyndham which they are attached too. All the pizzas are personal size. Good price. Thin crust and great flavor. Kale Caesar salad I got to go and ask for the dressing on the side because they mix it and send it on your way and gets a little soggy if you don't eat within a few minutes. Otherwise it's a great salad. Nice change from the traditional Caesar lettuce. read more

The gluten free pizza adventure continues! When stepping up to the counter, I was informed that the only non gluten free meat on the menu were the meatballs. We were also reminded to stay away from anything with Thai peanut or BBQ sauce. Not sure what the pizza dough flour includes-it is imported in, already made... and certified. First we took a risk on a #7-The White Album ($9). It is good... but shrimp just does not sit right on my pizza, and I missed the tomato sauce. I also had a #3-ZZtop, substitute red bell peppers for meatballs ($8)-yum! While the dough was not quite the Forget-It's-Gluten-Free taste at BJ's, but valued pizza. In conversation with friends we decided that ZigZag could be the local Little Caesars of the gluten free world. Yep-I will be back. read more

Honestly, this is a "take it or leave it" venue. I just ate there with my kids and was like blah. That is unfortunate because I had been waiting to eat here for a while and finally made the trek today. If you live in Oceanside and crave pizza then I would recommend Privateer off South Coast Highway or even driving to Pizza Port in Carlsbad. read more

First time here and pretty good place for being connected to a hotel! Thin crust, one size only, great toppings, awesome pizza! The ZZ Top pizza was delicious! It has a wide variety of beer and soda choices. The cashier was nice and friendly. The only reason I didn't like it here was because the dude taking our order acted like he hated his job and never smiled. He does not give the place a good first impression and I would've turned and left if my kid wasn't so hungry. I am glad I stayed because the pizza was awesome and makes up for Mr. Fussy Buns who took our order. read more

Over an hour wait with an empty restaurant. There was very few people in the restaurant and unable to make a single pizza I'm under an hour.

My wife and I went to Zigzag pizza for a late lunch since we were staying at the wyndham. We loved the taste of the pizza, and I loved that I was able to select basil pesto sauce since I have acid reflux. Overall, we would go back to Zig Zag for lunch or a early dinner. Last, the 4% charge to offset the minimum wage raise in California is on the very bottom of their menu. read more

I was shocked when I went to pay my bill and discovered that they added in (without my knowledge or consent) a 4% "surcharge"!! This is a classic 'chicken sh*t' move when an owner does not have the balls to be upfront and raise their menu prices. If you need a price increase dude, just be honest and raise them! Don't try and deceive people by hoping that they won't discover your subterfuge. Pitiful. I WILL NOT be back!! read more

Good pizza but be prepared to wait up to an hour to get it. Had to cancel our order last visit after waiting over 45 mins. The staff didn't seem very interested in providing good customer service. It's too bad because the food is good but I won't be back. read more
