Once I happened to come across the Yelp page for Zalat, I knew I needed to come here ASAP. 20+ reviews and a 5-star average for any restaurant rushes to the top of the shortlist for me to visit. And it turns out, it's now my turn to add a 5-star rating for Zalat Pizza.
While I am not a big fan of spicy food, I couldn't resist trying the Sweet Revenge because it just looked too appealing, despite the spicy ingredients. And just as I expected, it was absolutely awesome with a bit of a kick. That was okay, as I just had an excuse to grab gelato afterward to cool things down. It was totally worth it though - one of the best pizzas I've had in the area!
My wife ordered an NYC style cheese. Did it taste like New York Pizza? No. It tasted more like places trying to do "New York Pizza", rather than actual New York Pizza. I guess that NY water really does make all the difference. But it was still enjoyable.
Sadly I didn't even know that the all-beef pepperoni is the specialty here until we already had our pizza in-hand (it's advertised on the boxes). I will definitely be back and try something pepperoni-based next time!
