zpizza is excited to be associated with this type of excellence and is demonstrating a desire to be current and forward thinking in branding as zpizza evolves from a small pizza shop into a major "niche" restaurant player. zpizza provides a team to serve from pre-opening to opening.
Often referred to as the Baja Fresh or Panera Bread of pizza, zpizza is changing the way customers think of pizza. From the fusion of flavors on its signature pizzas, its health focus expressed through its use of organic tomato sauce, part skim mozzarella, wheat crust, soy cheese and lots of fresh vegetables and finally, a broad selection of creative salads ordinarily limited to fine dining give zpizza customers a fresh and unique approach to pizza. Gourmet and Health-Conscious Positioning… the DNA behind our franchising growth!
