Zoli's NY Pizza

My favorite local pizza spot! My husband and I have visited Zoli’s many times over the last few years and it just gets better and better every time we go! I recommend it to everyone I know and have spent many date nights and dinners with the in-laws here. We also love the holiday decor! The staff is always friendly too. I look forward to my next visit!

We ordered two pizzas — the Uncle Joe and a build-your-own with jalapeño pesto, pineapple, and peppers. I actually enjoyed our custom pizza more; the flavors were bold and really delicious. The Uncle Joe didn’t have red sauce, just fresh tomatoes, onions and cheese and it felt a bit chewy. Overall, I really loved the place and would definitely recommend.

Cool vibes, good service and awesome food! What more can you ask for? Zoli’s is a sister restaurant to Cane Rosso except it serves up New York style pizza rather than Neapolitan like Cane. This place came recommended second hand by New Yorkers who said it was the closest thing to pizza in the Big Apple. It’s got a nice chewy crust that has just enough flop to warrant the fold. While it was a bit of a drive for me I totally think it was worth it to try for the first time and will be going back if I’m in the area but personally, as much as I enjoy Neapolitan style, with a Cane Rosso 10 minutes from me, I don’t think I’ll go out of my way to make the drive. If your preference is New York style, this will be hard to beat in DFW.

For starters, from the host stand to the actual wait person, Mia, it felt like a well rehearsed flawless execution. The hosted and Mia were kind, inviting and answered questions. I marveled at the decor. The no was befuddled by it. Unicorns, dog photos, Star Wars and Seinfeld. Whatnot culture universe have we stumbled in to? Needless, ordered Sam Adams Oktoberfest on draft and it had ice crystals in it. Draft beer perfection. We had an appetizer and ordered our own pies. So flavorful and not too heavy. Enough for leftovers (which made for great breakfast this morning). We will be back. This. Is it exceeded our expectations and then some.

When I searched for local pizza places, Zolis pizza seemed to be a popular choice. However, upon visiting, I found the atmosphere to be more like a sports bar with a fast-casual vibe. On a Saturday night, the place was surprisingly empty, and we had to wait for 10 minutes to be seated. We ordered the zucchini fries and pizza, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to our expectations. The zucchini fries were mediocre, and the pizzas were disappointing. The buffalo pizza had an overwhelming amount of sauce and dry chicken, while the cheese pizza had too much cheese and lacked tomato sauce. Based on this experience, I wouldn't consider Zolis a highly-rated pizza place.
