ZZ Pizza & Kabob

Nice clean place. PARKING ON THE BACK OF BULIDING. Lovely service by Shawna in the front. She took her time to make sure I was happy with my order and suggested some items on the menu. Food looks good. Fresh and clean. No funky smells like other places around here. I was working around and run this place and wanted to try it. Great choice!!! Again the service was super nice.

Just popped by to praise ZZ Pizza and Kabob and share my experiences. We get consistently high quality food from ZZ. Usually when I order from a hole-in-the-wall pizza place, my expectations are pretty low. I expect decent pizza and an awful salad that isn’t well thought out or created with fresh ingredients. ZZ seems to care about all its food. From the chef’s special Mediterranean dishes to the pizzas. The one thing we’ve ordered from them that has been lackluster is the chicken fingers & fries. I don’t mind that because what are they going to do? They’re a pizza place run by excellent Mediterranean cooks. I’m sure they just throw frozen Costco chicken fingers and fries in the fry basket. One thing I do like about their fries is that they are unseasoned. So when they arrive, I can sprinkle on Lawry’s and Old Bay ti make them perfect. The last time we ordered (yesterday), the bbq chicken pizza was delicious, with fresh red onion and juicy chicken and the salad was incredible. Nestled in the feta and olives were heirloom tomatoes of several colors and they were deliciously sweet. The banana peppers had the perfect tang. You can tell that ZZ takes time to get their lettuce mix cut down to perfect sizes for your fork. The balsamic dressing seemed homemade. The salad was so good, I barely ate any pizza. We order from ZZ a lot. We’ve tried a lot of places around Brookland/Hyattsville, but I’d recommend this gem in Mt. Rainier anytime.

This is an *outstanding* quality pizza and diverse menu (Greek is great here!) carryout, for what it is--a VERY reasonably priced neighborhood short-order spot. The pizza is hand-tossed, high-quality ingredients, generous portion of sauce and high quality mozzarella. It's really, really tasty "football" style pizza. The plain cheese pizza (hand-tossed), is so good, most of the time I don't even order toppings, because why drown the flavor of the crust, sauce, and cheese out with other salty ingredients. I'm renovating a house down the road , and probably order the pizza 2-3 times a week for lunch...it's that good. If you ask for lighter cheese, the pizza turns into quite the artisan pie, with robust fresh tomato sauce, a garlicky buttery crust, and a nuanced mozzarella sprinkling. The rest of the menu: The menu is diverse, with a lot of greek offerings, some south american offerings, and standard American fare. The chicken philly steak sandwich is excellent, although recommend ordering it without mayonnaise. The greek chicken gyro sandwich is really, really great! Instead of the processed gyro meat that most places use, this place uses real chicken breast, grilled and cut into chunks, with tzatziki sauce, feta, lettuce and tomato on a nice pita. Haven't tried much else, because I keep on ordering the classics, but inevitably will branch out in the menu, and so far haven't had anything that wasn't a cut above. The prices here are very, very reasonable, and the ownership/management/staff are just very pleasant, professional, and the store is always kept extremely clean and neat. They all wear masks in and out of the kitchen, expect customers to while they're waiting for their food, which is an encouraging sign that they take the health of the community very seriously, as well as that of their employees. Can't recommend this place enough! The best overall VALUE for carryout food in DC, period.

We ordered the Gyros which were delicious with yummy tzatziki sauce and nice soft pita bread. This dish comes with french fries and for $6.99 it's a deal. The ingredients were very fresh. We also got 10 Wings and I have to say they were very meaty with plenty of sauce. They come with a choice if 15 sauces we had the Mild Buffalo, yummy. You also choose complimentary Blue Cheese or Ranch dipping sauce. These are really good and are a great value at $8.99. I'm going to order these for our next outdoor party or picnic!
