Fanarof opened the first zpizza location in Laguna Beach in 1986 as a healthy, artisan approach to pizza making. In an industry looking to cut costs, Fanarof has found ways to introduce organic and gourmet ingredients as well as gluten-free crusts. It is not unusual to find Fanarof shopping at a Farmers Market in search of a new ingredient to add to zpizza's diverse menu featuring zesty pizzas, creative sandwiches and salads. The result is a more flavorful higher quality and healthy alternative.

zpizza also has a full catering menu for business lunches, parties, events and any catering needs. For deals and news, check out zpizza on Facebook (facebook.com/Zpizza) and Twitter (@zpizza) and join ztribe for email offers at http://www.Zpizza.com/ztribe.
