Z-Pizza exists crammed in a sliver of space across the sidewalk from the Boating Supply store and behind the mail center. They are quick with orders, offer loyalty rewards, and greet you with a smile. One of a growing list of shops that carries vegan cheese. The Berkeley Vegan pizza is as is, so that's my typical order here. At most shops I ask for "well done" but this shop cooks pizzas thoroughly enough not to worry about it They have a featured local craft beer on $5 pint special Nice crew Hard to find but conveniently located within Balboa Peninsula with a hefty parking lot adjacent to it. Quiet and quick for lunch, haven't been around for the evening rush read more

Pizza spot in Newport. Pros: very nice outdoor seating ambiance. Nice indoor setup as well. Cons: the ready to service slices were not tasty. Tried the cheese and was underwhelmed, as it was not heated further upon service. Will say I need to come back and try the made to order items. Average taste, nice location. read more

Zpizza - Outside - Pizza Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Stopped here on our way to the beach. Neyda was absolutely fantastic. She was so helpful and explained all of the options to us with patience. What struck me most was her very pleasant attitude. It's really hard to find that in food service these days. The food was very fresh and delicious. I know this is a pizza place but you have to try the pear and Gorgonzola salad. It's so good! Add a pepperoni pizza to it and you can't go wrong. read more

The owner is amazing and such a kind person! He is personable with every customer that walks in and makes the experience wonderful. My husband and I started coming here after getting our massages across the street and have now made it a tradition. Love this establishment and the fresh pizza! read more

I have always loved Zpizza. I'm pretty sure this was my first time at this location and it was quite positive. First off, they have great outdoor seating, which is perfect for a sunny, summer day. Also, the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The only thing that was less appealing was how HOT the inside of the restaurant was. I feel bad for the works. I wonder if the AC wasn't working? I hope this isn't the normal condition, for the workers sake. But, everyone was friendly, the patio was beautiful and we enjoyed a delicious meal! read more

Zpizza - Pizza Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Ate here 2 days in a row before specially scheduled movies at the Lido Theater. Both days, we were served by Neyda, who was cheerful and efficient. Margarita pizza slices and the calzone one day, the next, we had the arugula salad with avo and feta, and the Thai chicken pizza. The veggies were fresh, sauces were flavorful. Seating on the patio was easier to find on a weekday, but no problem inside, as most people get their food to go. read more

I had a slice of pepperoni and a slice of mushroom/sausage. Both were very good. Their crust is very light and tasty. It doesn't leave you feeling like you have a bread bomb in your stomach. I definitely recommend. read more

They didn't have the vegan spicy Hawaiian on the menu anymore, so I had to order the same thing but with regular sauce, and for $3 more. They also forgot the Serrano pepper flakes I added. I was not aware this was a restaurant akin to Mod Pizza (it reminded me more of Mod than Blaze) -- I thought it would be more of a "normal" pizza spot. However, for what it was, it was very good. read more

Outstanding Customer service , really yummy pizza , super clean , all around five star pizza experience! Thank you read more

The owner is very rude. Very disappointed with my experience as my first time walking into this establishment. The service was very unprofessional. There is a reason why the place is empty at 1 pm on a Friday afternoon. I wouldn't recommend this place based on what I encountered. I was craving a slice of pizza, or maybe pick up a pie on my way home.... and asked owner to use the restroom. Mind you there are 20 restaurants nearby. Owners response was going anywhere nearby and to use restrooms somewhere else. I'm a female by the way. I was stunned. Why does it matter? You have no customers and there is a reason for that. I will never buy anything from this establishment read more

If you go in for a slice, it's fast service, good pizza & friendly staff! We ordered a couple slices to go. They had several options available for slices. read more

This location is A+!!! Privately owned franchise, they are very attentive and accommodating!!

My wife, 3 girls and I visited the zpizza here on Sunday, we got to say the Service by Gabriel and the Pizza Baker was just amazing, they were super busy and it was just the two of them, we were amazed by the care, kindness and overall exceptional hospitality they both provided. We were just amazed by how busy they were yet continued to give exceptional service and the pizza was just beyond delicious. Thanks Z Pizza Team for the quality of food and overall exceptional service. Sincerely, Gabe and family :) read more

This is the best Zpizza in OC. The owner is friendly and always greets us with a warm smile. The pizza is quality and always tastes fresh. I highly recommend the "pizza salad" on the Cauliflower crust 10/10 They also have pebble ice which is a huge plus. read more

The owner first of all is so amazing and sweet! Spoke to our entire group and made it feel very welcoming. My kids had pizza, I had a salad and hubby had a turkey sub. All of it was delicious. And let me tell you the chocolate chip cookies.....GET IT ALL! We'll def be back. Your friends from CT! read more

Do not order the Arugula salad for $14+ from this location! Total Rip off! Guy put one handful, if that, in the container. Pizza is good but come on! Salad was. Joke! read more

Easy to order and was able to have delivered as we're local. Pizza was so good and great for the big party we needed it for! The gluten free pizza was crispy and tasted really good too. And the salads were very fresh. Louis is also awesome. read more

Friendly service and really quick pizza preparation when ordering ahead. The pizza is delicious and has a generous amount of toppings.

When both me and my friend mention OLIVES and we don't get it, you don't get to treat us like criminals and blame us for YOUR mistake, than offer us olives on the side for an extra charge! Awful service! :-( read more

I come here every week with my kids. The owner is awesome and very friendly. Tonight was a sad experience. The lady working on the front was someone I haven't seen before. She was extremely rude from the second we walked in the door , had a horrible attitude toward my kids and I. It was very uncomfortable and not welcoming at all. We decided to leave and go sit outside. read more

I was picking up an online order. The lady at the front was not helpful and did not acknowledge us. I kindly waited until everyone there before us ordered. It already didn't start well. The pizza ended up being cold and missed any sauce. It was a bummer! The inside of the place was at least clean! read more

A friend and I were looking for a quick lunch in the area when we decided upon Zpizza. There's a good amount of parking during non-busy hours/weekdays, and it's easily walkable right across from Lido Village. The interior isn't terribly large, but there are probably seven tables, as well as additional seating on the patio in the courtyard that backs up to Bear Flag. They had a lunch combo deal with a pick two option for a couple of slices + a salad or sandwich. I ended up going with the sausage & mushroom pizza, and my friend ordered the spinach & tomato. Everything tasted great - the slices seemed pretty fresh and were warm. We're also two somewhat gluten free people, but the pizza didn't really bother either one of us! I'm not sure if that speaks to the quality of ingredients or not, but I'll take that as a bonus. The service was quick and friendly. I didn't catch his name, but we were helped by who I assumed to be either the manager or owner. He gave us a couple free cookies at the end of our meal, which was a nice touch! If you're looking for pizza in the area again, I'd recommend here! read more

The food is always amazing!! Customer service is a 10 always!! My go to for my work lunch break read more

Great friendly service and delicious pizza! The young man working that day was supper kind and gave great service. My picky kid loved the pizza! Definitely will be returning soon. read more

Excellent customer service! They always give an accurate time frame whenever I order to go. It's nice because they are always so cheery. They gave me a free house made cookie today ! And I absolutely recommend their carnivore pizza ! So bomb especially for hangover recovery lol they also have great rewards service if you sign up. read more

I love this spot! There aren't a whole lot of great pizza options in NB but this is by far my favorite spot. I used to work across the street and stop by for a slice every other Friday (I'm trying to manage my pizza addiction). There are other nicer pizza places but are overpriced. Since the pandemic, I've only ordered in on the Balboa Peninsula. A couple of times I have encountered someone rude who has made me feel guilty for calling in, but I chalk it up to busy nights like Friday or Saturday and try to be understanding because we've all been there. Lately, every time I call they have been polite and excited - which is a fantastic way to keep z pizza busy. Must be the GM or owner answering lately. I usually order the pepperoni pizza or the Berkely Vegan pizza - sooooooo gooood! That's my review! This is my favorite pizza place in NB. read more

Food was delicious. We got the Napoli pizza and a turkey sandwich. We started off with the 3 slice combo. It was so good we ended up getting a large pizza to-go for the kids. The customer service was great. Nice accommodating staff to answer my questions and assist with our needs. We absolutely be a return customer. read more

I see, I'm not the first person to get kicked out of here by the lady with glasses.. this is incredibly un just, and illegal, in the entirety of the country USA... even after showing my dogs service ID and my handler's certificate, they refused service to me and were beyond rude. Left me speechless. I have reported this violation to the city of Newport. Save yourself. RUN away. read more

Stumbled upon Zpizza after looking for a quick snack and I am so happy that I came here. I ordered a slice of their cheese pizza and they were nice enough to throw it into the oven for a couple minutes so that it was nice and crispy. The pizza itself was delicious. Crispy, cheesy, and not overly greasy. It hit the spot and was exactly what I was craving. Although the pizza was good, it was the service that really blew me away. Victor and the rest of the staff could not have been nicer or more attentive. He gave us free chocolate chip cookies to "apologize for the mess inside" but I thought that the inside was perfectly clean. He checked on us often and really made our experience at Zpizza great. I wished that I lived closer! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, yummy snack. read more

The food was amazing the pizza tased sooo good!! Let's not talk about the service THANK YOU LUIISSS such a kind man that has passion & loved what he does brightens up the whole place. I definitely will be coming back the place was all cleaned up, nicr & tidy thank you once again Mr.Luis for this great experience in your restaurant read more

Zpizza is exactly what I needed - pizza by the slice! I came in on a Sunday evening looking for a slice of pizza and they did not disappoint. Victor, who was very helpful even offered to warm up our slices in the oven to crisp 'em up a bit. He gave us peppers, parmesan cheese and was super nice during our whole interaction. Halfway through my slice, he came up to us and offered us free chocolate cookies! Talk about service. Anyway, this location is extremely well-kept and I'll make sure to stop by next time I'm in newport! read more

It was our first time here my aunt recommended it. Thank goodness we stopped here right after the beach. I had the half turkey, cesar salad and pepperoni pizza and everything was so fresh and perfect! The customer service was amazing! My husband asked the guy at the counter what he recommended and my husband went with his recommendation and a beer. We are coming back for many more family lunch dates! Its our new favorite spot. Thank you for the yummy cookies! read more

Pizza tasted like semi burnt popcorn and lame asses wrote on the the inside of the box that we were lame for order so late, at least I didn't have to make my pizza at 1:59. Y'all did. ‍ read more

Zpizza - Pizza Near Me - Newport Beach, California

When I came, there was only one person working and he had to take the orders, collect payments, and make the pizzas. There were two customers in front of me and I waited about 15 minutes to order. I ordered the ZBQ (BBQ chicken, mozzarella, peppers, red onion, tomatoes, and cilantro). After ordering, I waited about another 20 minutes to get the pizza. So it took about 35 minutes total to get a take-out order (1 star off). I thought the pizza was okay. The quality was equivalent to a frozen pizza: the toppings taste good, but the crust is kind of boring (1 star off). Unless I am in the area and strongly craving mediocre pizza, there is probably z-ero chance that I will return to Zpizza. read more
