We love ZPizza! The Pure One

sponsored post

Please print coupon and bring in to ZPizza or give to your delivery driver.

inspired by california and a healthy way of life

"zpizza was founded in the art colony of Laguna Beach, California, where creativity and craftsmanship have flourished for almost a century.  So it comes as no surprise that our critically acclaimed pizza is a true Laguna original.  A passion for great food is why we start with dough made from 100% organic wheat flour prepared fresh every day, hand-thrown and fire-baked until uniquely crisp.  Our zest for quality continues when the toppings go on.  We combine select ingredients using award-winning skim mozzarella from Wisconsin, certified organic tomato sauce, MSG-free pepperoni, additive-free sausage, and fresh produce.  Our fresh produce sets us apart. Exotic delights like Cremini and Shiitake mushrooms, roasted eggplant, pili pili and truffle oil, pine nuts, Greek olives, roasted bell peppers and caramelized onions assure you’ll never experience a bland, boring, blasé pizza.  The same holds true for our gourmet salads and sandwiches.  That said we hope you enjoy our unique and authentic recipes as much as we enjoy making them for you."

This is just the beginning of why my entire family and all of our friends LOVE ZPizza!  We moved to Porter Ranch almost two years ago and soon discovered ZPizza and have been loyal to them ever since.  The pizza, sandwich and salad combinations are all original and delicious.  Not only is the food delicious, it's also good for you. 

My daughter is having her third birthday party on Sunday and ZPizza is catering.  One, because it's that good and two, we have a number of kids with food allergies, mine included and ZPizza is able to accomodate everyone.  They have a gluten free crust and Daiya vegan cheese that is dairy and soy free. 

ZPizza is always our go to place whenever my daughter has a play date or whenever the question arises, "What's for dinner?"
