16 "Pizza Originals"

(Wednesday, October 01, 2003) - One of the broadest arrays of meats, sauces and toppings means something for everyone. Boasting made-to-order menus, sleek interiors and upscale ingredients, Z Pizza views itself as the pizza segment's answer to fast casual. The chain's 16 "pizza originals," cooked in brick ovens, offer wide-ranging toppings from zucchini and pine nuts to Serrano chiles and salami. The seven sauce choices include chipotle pesto, roasted pepper and Thai peanut. Among Z Pizza's offerings, Mexican pizza (lime chicken, salsa, avocado and cilantro) and Z. B.Q (made with barbecued chicken, roasted red peppers, cilantro, sweet corn and barbecue sauce) rank as customer favorites. Health-conscious customers can opt for whole wheat crusts and select part-skim mozzarella, nonfat or soy cheeses. Business is split fairly evenly among dine in, carryout and delivery. Both regular and original pizzas are available by the slice.
