Really delicious pizza and they have a really wonderful lunch special! This place has the best pizza crust I've ever had. It didn't have additional seasonings on it or anything, but my goodness it was delicious! My one year old normally doesn't like pizza but he almost ate a whole slice! They have many different kinds of pizza options, and I definitely want to come back to try some more. I got the basic pepperoni this time and it was great! The two young men at the counter were very friendly and were working the entire time. Even just standing and building pizza boxes. I was impressed with how they were constantly finding something to keep themselves busy. The dine in area is small but really cute and comfortable. Very clean also! Everything seemed to be really well taken care of. We were the only ones inside so it gave my son plenty of room to run around. They do not have any high chairs, which sucked for us because my husband and I had to take turns eating. But it was not a big deal we know for next time to bring our own or do carry out. read more

Came in here real quick for lunch. It was so hot inside that I could barely stand waiting for my order. The guy at the counter didn't greet me and when I asked questions about the lunch specials, he seemed annoyed. He definitely hates his job. The chairs in the dining area have tears and holes. Inappropriate rap music playing. I told him no mayonnaise on my sandwich and had to tell him "no mayonnaise, as I watched him start to put it on. No wonder this place was dead during lunch hour. read more

Zpizza - a broom on the floor of a restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

Conundrum... pizza wasn't awful but the person who took my order was either hilariously bored or incredibly stupid. I mean my name is Rich, four letters. My pizza box said bitch. I'm easily amused so I just laughed. I mean how could i take it personally if she hadn't met me... ironically I'm here putting her on blast and well that could be considered being a bitch. So yeah conundrum! One star for "bitch", one star for the pizza and one star for the laugh. What do you think, Is this a mistake or on purpose? Well thank you for your explanation. That's worth two more stars. The girls working were cool and I honestly wasn't offended. A good business owner cares and puts out fires. read more

I only came to the Ladera Ranch location was because they closed the San Clemente location because I heard of a rent dispute. But I absolutely LOVED the pizza Chef from San Clemente. He was so so talented and however he made the crust!! It was Magnificent. My fav pizza there was the ZJalapeño. It was the best!! So I ordered it in Ladera Ranch today. NOT EVEN CLOSE!! The crust in Ladera was subpar. It takes talent to do this and they should get the cook from San Clemente to go to Ladera because Ladera sucked. read more

Less than satisfied with my order today. First off: after I ordered the pizza, they told me it would be ready in 15 to 20 minutes. I showed up over 25 minutes later and it wasn't ready yet. I thought I heard the cook tell the order taker it would be ready in another ten minutes. He told me it would be ready in another 5 minutes. 5 minutes later he told me it's ready and when I looked at it, it just didn't look cooked. When I got home, we all said the same thing; it wasn't cooked. I honestly think they forgot about the pizza and only started it once I got there. Hoping this a one time thing, as that is not my normal experience here. Not what you expect after paying $30 for a pizza. read more

Z Pizza has it going on... We order there over the weekend and will certainly be returning. They're big on cleanliness, social distancing, AND FLAVOR! We got the bacon spinach mushroom and it was big enough to feed our family of 4 for dinner, then lunch. We will be returning. (I took my face mask off for the picture) read more

Always great service and always get my orders how I like them!! Love the food. Always awesome for a quick meal when just wanting one slice!!

Probably my last time at this location. I walk in gentleman helping at register was half in bathroom door open washing hands. Comes out touching handle then his long hair. Grabs my pizza to show me. I ordered xl pizza bbq chicken extra cilantro and he goes to add cilantro which they forgot I don't see him grabbing gloves I said kindly can u please wear gloves. He gets upset and says he was going to. I could have been wrong but whole scenario there extremely grossed out and not sanitary. Whoever the owner is should do a better job. Go to other z pizzas in San Clemente. Last time same gentleman my husband left ten dollar tip for online order. Regret coming here. Rude and gross. Sadly going to throw away whole pizza bc he wasn't wearing glove on other hand and who knows if he used his other hand out of spite. read more

The customer service makes this place deserve one star. They give the option to place an order ahead and then when you show up you have to wait another 20-25 minutes for you pizza, despite placing the order over 4 hours ago. I guess they just prioritize walk ins and other orders before online. Staff was overall unfriendly and mostly standing up front talking and on their cell phones, while two cooks made everything. This photo was taken in January.(referring to the comment by the owner) read more

I mean the pizza here is phenomenal, this goes without saying. I've had several unfortunate experiences with this location and after last year I decided to stop giving second, third, fourth chances. (Especially after a delivery driver threw a pizza at my husband and no one ever called me back when I called to complain). I finally spoke to the owner last month and she assured me the people that worked there when this happened no longer worked there and remedied the situation so I could give them another chance. Zero issue with delivery this time and all the food was phenomenal (five cheese pizza, pear salad and parmesan bread sticks cooked to perfection). Will definitely be coming back again! read more

What a silly place! I placed an order via Uber east and called the location to confirm. , the person at Z pizza confirmed it, and then when my Uber driver showed up they didn't give him the pizza saying it didn't show in their system anymore!?! I mean are they smoking up something here apparently the "manager" never visits the store either!! The mission viejo outlet shut with no update on the listing on google maps! Still shows as open on their website too! Quite sad to see such a mess of this chain! read more

My wife has a gluten allergy I specifically ordered a gluten free pizza and they used normal crust! Major issue stay away if you have allergies!!! read more

Love ZPizza! I've been coming here for so many years especially because I had some friends who used to work here, but recently we moved and have been eating out as we unpack. ZPizza has been our new go-to and they nail it every time! The customer service is amazing (shoutout to new manager Aita who is the sweetest!!!) and the pizzas have been hitting the spot every time (especially for breakfast the next day). Love supporting this local business! read more

Called in an order for take out this evening. I was told it would be ready in about 25 minutes which was great and I was pleased that it was ready upon my arrival. Very fresh. Generous amount of fresh toppings. Salad was a large portion and likely suitable for 2 people. I really appreciate their menu items. It's a good selection that caters to lovers of a simple pizza or those who want something more elevated. Price, portions, service and taste all on point! read more

Gave them a second chance and was disappointed. Buffalo wings and a not so large pizza for $40, helllll nah. Costco pizza is just as good, bigger, and 9 bucks, not saying it's a super authentic Italian pizza but this ain't either. Most family owned chains do well, the Z pizza in Long Beach, much better. I also didn't know Door Dash would be delivering pizza, maybe that's why it was $40, either way second chances and I'm out. read more

Zpizza - $40 for this??? - Pizza Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

We initially had a negative experience, but We decided to try this location again. The manager was gracious enough to apologize and invite us back in to make it right. We ordered a large gluten free pepperoni pizza for pickup. After trying the regular pizza and the gluten free pizza, I have to say, the gluten free wins by a long shot. They have some really good pizza here! My second experience was great. I believe the previous feedback I left helped to make this location better. read more

Zpizza - "Fresh" - Pizza Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

So this isn't for the pizza, which I've had before and is good, but not a place we normally order from. However, after we received a coupon for $5 off yesterday, which was handed out at the Ladera Easter event at Cox Park, we figured we'd order from them. But the coupon didn't work. Upon closer inspection, it is probably because they provided a coupon that expired in 2015. Such a shame. We ended up getting a pizza from Sal's. read more

Zpizza - Coupon we received that had expired almost 6 years ago. - Pizza Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

Pizza is average, but you can pretty much count on any delivery order being 20-30 minutes late, even when it's within a few miles away. We've never had a delivery order even close to on time. read more

really disappointed with zpizza. ordered three different pizzas and one was vegan. it said vegan all over the box when i picked it up. got home, we started eating, only to notice there were two different looking sausages on the pizza. we didnt think anything of it at first; wasnt sure if it was two different brands of vegan sausage until we tasted it. it was pork. actual sausage. who makes a vegan pizza with vegan cheese and vegan sausage to add on regular sausage as well?! you can see in the picture but it was actually arranged WITH the vegan sausage. whoever made the pizza put both on there. how disgusting! as someone who also doesnt eat pork for religious reasons this is so beyond gross read more

This is our go-to pizza place in Ladera. We love the taste of the fresh pies and the constant availability of the delicious take-and-bakes. Today, Dave was working and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help me out. How refreshing to have amazing customer service in the midst of the struggles in our society today. Thank you! -Steve read more

Placed an order through Uber eats for pickup and what a mess. The app said it was ready for pick up however when I arrived not only was it NOT ready, which I know they mark it in the store, they hadn't even verified it or made it, so I had to sit there and wait 40ish mins for them to make it. Horrible service! read more

This was the most bland pizza I've ever had from a known pizza place. I had to add ranch and hot sauce to my pizza for some flavor. The only reason it got 2 stars was because the Buffalo wings were good. Never ordering from here again. read more

We called for takeout : Thai chicken pizza, Tuscan mushroom and pear and Gorgonzola salad. There is NOTHING worse and more frustrating than getting to destination with NO PLATES NO UTENSILS so annoying. Thai pizza dry not enough sauce , mushroom pizza flaming with garlic if you love garlic this is your pizza. Finally the salad. It's supposed to be mixed greens but I think they ran out bc this was all spinach. But hard to eat with not forks! Get with guys! read more

New favorite pizza place!! Super friendly and food tasted great. Staff was very helpful and kind to my children.

I'm a little surprised. I'll leave 2 stars, because maybe it was the B-team working tonight. We ordered our pizza at 8pm Friday, and they no longer offered delivery (by the way, we're from out of town and visiting). That was fine, we'll pick it up. So we ordered a Combo pizza. The guy on the phone didn't know what we meant. We reiterated a "combo", or "supreme", or "ultimate" whatever you call it. Nope, he still didn't understand. So we described "a pizza that has a couple meats on it, and a couple veggies" He said "we have a zcarnivore that's all meat". We said "any veggies?" He said "we can put some on there" We said "fine" He said "what one's?" Finally, we spelled it all out, and ordered a carnivore with onions and mushrooms. When we picked it up and they showed it to us .... no mushrooms. They forgot. So they added the last mushrooms they had from the pan, and rebaked it for a couple minutes. Oh, best part is... the American (on the menu) is a combination of meat and veggies. Lastly, on the pizza itself, we weren't that impressed. The "large" is more like an extra-medium size. But I suppose they can get away with that because the crust is more airy and light, like a pizza bread instead of a crust. No crunch. So the bread is very filling, and plays a large roll in the flavor and texture of the slice. read more

Still the best pizza in Ladera Ranch! Our go-to is a roma tomato and garlic pizza with half white sauce and half marinara. Delicious. There are SO MANY options here for your pizza that you can't go wrong. If I had one small suggestion to make it would be to add the wheat crust at this location. I hate having to give our business to the one in MV when we want that crust. The staff and owners are always great. About 5 years ago they had a not so great manager who thankfully is no longer there. Now that that person is longer there, the service and quality of food has been noticeably better. Pro-tip: Sign up for their email lists and you'll get notified when they have daily specials! read more

I came across this location through the yelp app. I travel for work so I'm always in different places & makes it difficult for me to find a solid place to eat. You can never go wrong with pizza though even if it's 11am like the other day. I ordered through the phone and they told me my order will be ready in 15min. I had ordered all meat pizza, 15wings of hot flavor, & a 2 liter. Okay cool right? my work site was about 20min from that location. well I got there and my order was ready and they left it heating for me till I arrived. I was the only customer there so I expected to be in and out pretty fast. My cashier took a little longer then expected and forgot to give me my soda. Nonetheless I was there for about 10min longer. He was distracted from his mobile device. I really don't mind what people do behind that counter but when you have a customer, all attention please. You never know when a mystery shopper comes around. This place has a "$" but honestly I think it falls under "$$".. I paid 50$ for that pizza combo but it was well worth it, especially when you're starving. read more

The girl at the counter was nice but 1 star for the pizza which was super old and hard to chew. It even cut up my mouth trying to bite into it and the inside of my cheek is bleeding! I asked if it was fresher pizza before buying too. This is my first time dropping in and sadly I don't think I want to return. $8.07 in the trash for two pieces of pizza that butchered my mouth. read more

Fresh. Delicious. Fast, worth any expenses. The dough is like real Italian pizza, tiny and healthy.

I have been coming here for about 5 years and it's always reliable. I get the pepperoni and jalapeños pizza. Sauce is not sweet dough is pretty darn good. The arugula salad pesto pizza on cauliflower crust is really tasty. It's the best cauliflower crust I've had so far. The kids working there do a fine job too! read more

Ordered 2 large pizzas and ham and cheese calzone. Got there asked how come it is so much money. Price is different then on line prices. Calzone had pepperoni and sausage in it which I did not ask for.

Update (09/20/19): the new owner reached out to make up for the previous experience. Happy to report that we were not disappointed. The Mexican chicken pizza was very well made and ready as promised. Great experience Hate to do this to a business. Called in an order for pick up, came in to find they made some random pizza and tried to convince me that this is what I ordered. Showed them my receipt and what their menu says for the toppings and they agreed they got it wrong. Told me they will get one going for me right away. Patiently waited just to receive an under cooked pizza that the cook tried to say it done just right. Not coming to this place ever read more
