Zesto Pizza & Grill

My go to place for delivery and cheese steaks.
They’re always on time or before scheduled for delivery and anything I’ve ordered is great-​not greasy and filling. I’ve also noticed they’re never calling back saying they’re out of a product.
Awesome service and better food.

I’m partial to deep dish, living in Chicago. But I love a good pizza, regardless. So I was craving pizza, really greasy pizza. And this place hit the spot. Just ordered a pepperoni and extra cheese pizza… and it was great! That’s it. Just good, greasy pizza.

Number one pizza delivery no-​no. When your pie arrives and all the cheese has slid to one side. Why this happens. The pizza wasnt given time to sit before it was put into the delivery bag. Hot, loose cheese plus a hard right turn = Im mad.
Beyond presentation… my god the salt… this by far is the saltiest pizza Ever.
Fries…totally fine. crunch, not overly oily.

Chicken parm pizza.
Whoever came up with the idea of topping off a delicious pizza with fried chicken is a genius.
Again, chicken parm pizza. Get it.

Update: I tried the red margarita and white margarita pizzas today, and both were delicious, albeit untraditional. The red margarita pizza is thickly covered with a chunky red sauce that is chock full of flavor, garlic, and fresh basil. Small pieces of mozzarella are placed on top. The sauce is so heavy that I had to eat this slice with a fork and knife, which I never do.
The while margarita pizza was good as well. There are small patches of chunky tomato sauce (described above) and lots of pizza cheese, fresh basil, and fresh mozzarella.
Both slices were fresh and flavorful, and my slices were ordered and heated quickly.
I will be back next time I have a hankering for pizza at work.

Awesome pizza, ready on the fly quick and solid customer service! Definite return customer

Great pizza for a decent price. I had a veggie slice and my friend had buffalo chicken. Both were very good!

Very fast delivery and consistently high quality pizza. I’d prefer Zesto over just about any Pizza joint in the city (except maybe Lorenzo’s!). Have tried several of their specialty pizzas and all have been delicious. My wife is also a big fan of their pizza crust!

for the price, this is best pizza place i’ve been to in the area. Highly recommend the pepperoni pizza, thoes things are huge!

I drove here 30 minutes based on reviews to have pizza here. The sign on door as well as Unilocal stated that the place closes at 3am on sat night. It is 11p and the guy inside said he was closed. How the Eff is this possible in a college campus.
This left a bad taste in my mouth and I ain’t coming back. If the service is inconsistent, then I ain’t betting on the pizza.

It’s late, you’ve just finished a night of going out, and you’re hungry but most places aren’t open in UCity, so what do you do? You order from Zesto! Since it is open until 3am on weekends it’s the perfect place for a late night pick me up.
The pizza here is delicious, I’ve had it on numerous occasions (both drunk and sober) and I always liked their pizza slices. The slices are HUGE, for one slice at about $ 3 you get a slice that is the size of about 2 slices of pizza put together. They offer a variety of toppings from original cheese to white margherita and BBQ chicken to Meat Lover. They also have other options such as fries and quesadillas if you’re not in the mood for pizza. Zesto is a great place to satisfy those late night cravings or even to satisfy your pizza cravings. Plus, it’s conveniently located in central UCity!

Fresh, tasty pizza. Huge slices. Giant pepperoni. Clean. Service with a smile. Family friendly.
Mozzarella fries get three out of ten stars.

Fastest delivery ever: I ordered at 11:46pm on a Saturday night and recieved my food at 12:03am.
Amazingly fast, fresh, and delicious. I recieved a «small» veggie stromboli the size of my forearm. Thanks Zesto!

{3.5 stars}
Good food and variety. Pizza is better than the other nearby options and my boyfriend said the buff chick wrap was delicious. The wrap was also ginormous, so you definitely get some bang for your buck. Got a chicken strip platter with coleslaw and old bay fries the last time I was here and it didn’t disappoint, though realistically this is just your basic college food place. Good for a quick and casual dinner but nothing out of the ordinary.

We’re in Philly for the weekend. Being that our bus home to NYC doesn’t leave for 5 hours, we decide to venture out, find a movie theater (it’s way too cold to do any sight seeing!), and I task my husband with finding a spot for breakfast. Well, he found Zesto’s, a man’s version of «brunch», and I’m so glad he did! Reading the reviews on here, we were anticipating a tasty treat. What we got, however, surpassed that thought. The menu is vast. Everything from hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, salads, wings, calzones, strombolis, fries, mozzarella sticks, and of course, their signature pizzas.
I got a chicken panini, served on a wonderfully pressed ciabatta roll (grill marks and all!), with pesto, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and cheese. YUM! The hubby got the «small» calzone. Woah! The meatlover calzone came in a gorgeous crescent shape, filled with mozzarella and ricotta cheeses, sausage, ground beef, and a side of the sweet and savory marinara sauce. He was able to finish one of its four pieces.
Being from NYC, we have high standards for these delicacies. Zesto’s, you’ve made us jealous that you aren’t easily accessible to us. We’ll have to make sure you’re on our itinerary for the next trip to Philly!

Given that we ordered on Superbowl Sunday — I think their delivery time was totally acceptable, about an hour (which I hope isn’t their standard). The pizzas were both still warm when they got here — although not piping hot which would definitely have helped the flavor.
I got their Hawaiian pizza which was really good, and made a supreme (green peppers, onions, mushroom, sausage) 16″ for both. Also ordered 20 buffalo wings, at «normal spicy» level. The wings were awesome, actually spicy– unlike a lot of other places that don’t give me enough punch on that spice level!
Those three items ran us $ 55 pre-​tip. I’d say their pizza is pretty solid but I’d definitely need another try to know their consistency on delivery, and flavor /​temperature profile. We will see. !

I’m always intrigued when I see a new pizza place. Of course, I am also cautious since there are many sub par places. I am that snobby pizza guy who grew up in New York and expect nothing less *cough* from Philly pizza joints. But really, I do expect less. But I know there are some decent spots out there.
That said, after a few good views, my interest perked up more. I lucked into trying Zesto out for the first time when leftovers were dropped off at the kitchen in my work place. I was instantly impressed. Good crust, cheese and sauce. The pepperoni is so large it’s like salami and it tastes sooo good.
Since, I have ordered from them several times. The last time the pizza folded over a little, causing cheese to slip off and toppings to go array. I called them up to complain. The guy on the phone was very apologetic and offered to send 3 new pies. Since it was edible, I told him 2 would be enough. It was here and perfect in about 15 minutes.
Great pizza. Great service. Very stand up place. This is my new go to place.

I didn’t dine in, so this review is only for the food.
I pre-​ordered my pizza online and it was very convenient and efficient. I asked for a pick-​up time of 6PM and around 5:45, I got an email saying that my pizza was ready! When I arrived at Zesto, the employees had my pizza ready for me and everything. I wish they had bags large enough to cover the whole pizza box to prevent it from getting cold during my brief walk outside in the chilly winter night, but oh well.
We ordered the Hawaiian pizza. It came out to approximately $ 12 for a 12-​inch pizza, which is definitely on the pricier side. However, the pizza was delicious! I think it was saltier than I expected, but the Hawaiian comes with both bacon and ham (double whammy on the salt!) So it’s expected, not their fault. The pizza could’ve been cheesier, but hey, it was already delicious as it was.
I’ll be coming back again! Maybe not for the Hawaiian again, but to try something else!

I personally feel that there is no decent pizza in University City. However, that has changed since Zesto opened. I am a huge fan. I had a slice of the white ricotta pizza. It was delicious and only cost $ 2.60 for a very large slice. I think the slices with more toppings cost more, but it’s worth it because the toppings are piled on. My friend had a veggie slice that he said was also very good.
The workers are very friendly and will explain everything if asked. If you want to eat there, the décor is clean and bright and there is a large TV if you want to watch sports.
Definitely my new go-​to place for pizza etc. in U City. They even deliver!

Zesto is a great new pizza place that just opened near Penn’s campus.
I had the White Margherita Pizza, which was really good. It was $ 10 for the small pizza, which lasted me two meals (and I eat a lot). Zesto also has hoagies, wraps, paninis, calzones, pasta, and more.
Zesto’s pizza is wayyy tastier than the pizza at any other place around campus (I’m looking at you, Allegros). It is open until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays, so I think it will become a popular option for late night munchies amongst Penn students.
