We recently drove all the way from North Carolina to check out this hidden gem, and let me tell you, it was 100% worth the trip. From the moment we walked in, the owner greeted us with such warmth and genuine hospitality that it instantly made us feel at home. The maneesh were incredible, packed with flavors of palestine and made with such attention to detail. You can tell that the kitchen puts a lot of love into what they serve. It’s clear that the owner and the staff not only take pride in the food but also in creating an inviting atmosphere for their guests. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place!

Z&Z is a hidden gem! With its fresh ingredients and inviting atmosphere, this cozy spot serves up delicious Manoushe— Lebanon's answer to pizza. The staff made our first visit extra special, especially the kind woman at the counter who took the time to walk us through the menu. We couldn't resist trying the famous Lebanese Bride and the Classic Palestinian Za'atar, all washed down with mint tea and a yogurt drink. Every bite was fantastic, and the warm, welcoming vibe made it even better. We're already planning our next visit-Z&Z is a must-try!

The coolest little place you will ever enjoy a Manoushe. The service was Amazing, the special drinks were great. I ordered one of everything and couldn’t decide what I enjoyed more. They are all distinct in flavor from the traditional to the specialty. The service was amazing and I loved the employee of the month, even though it is rigged and Bayann should at least get an honorable mention. ❤️ I will be back.

Absolutely loved the pizza and the lahm b’ajin! Their mint tea is also a must-try — so fragrant and soothing. The food is authentically Middle Eastern, full of flavor and heart. Truly a hidden gem in the neighborhood and my go-to spot, especially when I need something delicious and reliable for the kids too. Consistently great!

Z&Z Manoushe had been on my radar for a while, thanks to their vibrant Instagram presence and mouthwatering manoushe photos. But what made our visit extra special was the personal connection—my boyfriend Chris went to elementary school with one of the owners, Johnny. They reconnected years later at the gym, and Johnny, with the same warmth he brings to his restaurant, invited Chris to come check out the place he and his family built. Once I realized I was already a fan from afar, it felt like fate was nudging us toward a visit. And let me tell you, Z&Z didn’t just meet our expectations—it exceeded them. We ordered the Harissa Chicken and the Lebanese Bride, and both were unforgettable. The Lebanese Bride was a fresh, flavorful masterpiece. The za’atar base was aromatic and perfectly toasted, topped with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, mint, and creamy labneh. It was light, refreshing, and incredibly authentic—like a trip to a family kitchen in Beirut, all wrapped in warm, handmade dough. The Harissa Chicken was bold and smoky, with a little char that added depth to every bite. The harissa delivered a gentle heat that didn’t overpower, and the creamy drizzle balanced it out beautifully. Fresh herbs and a squeeze of lime on top sealed the deal—it was one of the best flatbreads we’ve ever had. On top of the incredible food, the customer service was outstanding. Johnny, his sister, father and everyone who worked there gave great hospitality and pride in his family's food shone through in every interaction. The atmosphere is casual, colorful, and inviting—down to the floral-and-citrus tablecloths that somehow make the meal feel even more vibrant. Z&Z Manoushe isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a family story, a cultural gem, and a delicious love letter to Middle East street food. Whether you have a personal connection or not, you’ll walk away feeling like part of the family. We’ll definitely be back probably countless times. - Thanks for such a great place. 1000/10 Chris and Nathaly

Z&Z Manoushe is an amazing family-owned business that truly makes you feel at home. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The dad was especially nice and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. I’m already looking forward to going back!

Z&Z is a favorite local spot I have been enjoying for the last couple of years. They hit my big three in a restaurant; great food, welcoming community, and cultural celebration. The manoushe is excellent. The fresh ingredients highlight the flavor profiles of each of the diverse manoushe on the menu. Every menu option celebrates the long history and local ingredients of this middle-eastern street food. Additionally, the counter displays a selection of seasonally rotating delicacies that will further cause the taste buds to rejoice! Embracing the community is part of the package of this family run restaurant. Don't be surprised when the team remembers your name or your favorite order as a demonstration of loving acceptance into the family and broader community. Our area is one of the most diverse in the country. This diversity fosters a celebration of traditions, customs, and foods of our neighbors. Z&Z is quick to share their Palestinian and Jordanian heritage through delicious food and demonstrated hospitality. Z&Z have earned the high star rating, and I encourage others to check them out and enjoy the entire culinary experience.

I love going to Z&Z!! The manoushe are freshly made to order, you can really taste the care and quality of the ingredients. Aside from their good food, they have a great selection of ingredients and items that are ready for grab and go that in my opinion are a MUST have in one's kitchen: labneh, baba ganoush, za'atar, shatta, etc. Can't go wrong. Try their lemonade too, it's so good!!!

Z&Z Manoushe Bakery was recomended by a friend, and with good reason! I visited once, and got the Hot Honey and Cocktail flatbreads, not entirely even knowing what I was ordering, given my (non-existent) ability to read the Arabic on the wall menu. Both were absolutely divine Middle Eastern takes on pizzas that left nothing wanting with delicious crust flavored with fruity, complex olive oil, Za'atar (a blend of seasonings local to the Levant, and a newfound love of mine), and Albanian dry sausages. If you enjoy pizza and Middle Eastern food, and want to venture away from the marinara sauce and mozzarella, this is your spot!

Small but inviting, Z&Z is located right next to Carmen's A quick summer lunch here was a treat indeed. We ordered their lemonade and Harissa Chicken manoushe, which was the perfect size for us honestly, but if you're super famished, you might want to get your own manoushe. I could've done with a tad less tartness in my lemonade and dill on the manoushe. Someone even checked in to make sure everything was ok and cleaned our plates pretty quickly after we were done. Thank you!

Fresh and delicious!! They pump out manoushe super fast in a cute shop. I've been familiar with Z&Z since their farmers market days and was glad to see their success blossom into a brick and mortar shop. Came on a weekday for a late lunch and the shop was busy, but not inundated with people. Nonetheless, we quickly ordered and our order came out in what felt like 5 minutes??!! It was piping hot and DELICIOUS. The cheese portion was nice and savory while the classic slices were tender with the lovely spice mix. It tastes even better than I remember from the farmers market! Looking forward to returning to try some of the other toppings. Wish the shop were closer to DC, but glad they're dishing these out over in Rockville!

Five stars for freshness and atmosphere! Z&Z is a cozy neighborhood eatery specializing in Manoushe-- traditional Lebanese flatbread similar to pizza. Since it was our first visit, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and the woman at the front desk patiently explained the menu to us. We ordered the popular Lebanese Bride and Classic Palestinian Za' atar, pairing them with refreshing mint tea and a yogurt drink. Everything was delicious, and we loved the vibrant yet relaxed vibe of the place. Without a doubt, we'll be back soon!

First-Timer's Delight at Z&Z Restaurant! What a great first experience with Middle Eastern bizza at Z&Z! The chicken bizza was incredibly flavorful, and the Za'atar bizza tasted fresh and healthy. The Za'atar had a bit too much yogurt for my liking (making it a little too sour), but it didn't detract from a really enjoyable meal. Highly recommend!

Saw a flatbread mentioned in their newsletter called Bizza (described as having house red sauce topped with their 3-cheese blend). I was in the area and paid them a visit. Got two flatbreads - Bizza and Harissa Chicken. I loved both (I still miss their Chicken Shawarma). Next visit, I will get some dip from their fridge and get a warm complimentary pita bread with it. The place stayed busy, as always. Visited on a weekend.

First time at Z & Z and I saw how busy they were. I loved the small business feel and how busy they were definitely reflected how good their food is. The harrisa chicken I ordered had harrisa chicken, red sauce, spices, like cream, and dill. Every bite was so flavorful. The crema balanced so nicely with the slight spiciness of the chicken. The orange blossom lemonade was also unique and refreshing. I will definitely be back soon to try their other menu items. 5 rating!

I had never tried or even heard of manoushe, so I was eager to try Z&Z. Manoushe is essentially a crispy Middle Eastern flatbread. I have only had the classic manoushe, which features a generous helping of za'atar, and it is delicious. I would love to try their other options. Z&Z is a cute, small shop with limited seating inside and small tables outside (shared with Carmen's Italian ice). You can eat the manoushe on site, take it to go, or even buy it frozen from local Whole Foods! I liked it so much that I later bought some from Whole Foods. Why buy a corporate brand frozen pizza when you can buy a frozen manoushe from a loving local family-owned business? Z&Z also sells ingredients on site such as za'atar, so it would be a good place to get a gift for someone who wants to support a local Palestinian business. Service is friendly. Check it out!

One of my favorite spots in the DMW. This place has been on my list for a few weeks and I was pleasantly delighted! I got the classic manoushe and the harissa chicken manoushe. The classic manoushe came with z'atar seasoning on top and tons of olive oil. Very good. My only critique is it was a bit over cooked but still great! The Harrisa chicken was delicious and probably my favorite one. The chicken was juicy, the yogurt was homemade and flavorful and the toppings were fresh. I also got a side of the hot sauce. For $2 they could have given me more. I thought $2 for a small serving was a bit ridiculous. They do sell their seasonings and sauces in the store inside. Will go back to buy some to keep in my house. The inside is small but inviting and staff is nice. Overall I can't wait to go back. Very good and they do deliver to the DC area which is nice if I don't want to drive to Rockville.

Family owned Palestinian restaurant was recommended by a friend and stopped by. Staff was very helpful and offered recommendations. The space is small and feels cozy! I enjoyed the art on the wall and the overall atmosphere. The beef hot honey pepperoni was the star for my family and I. It was flavorful and had a nice kick to it. The Lebanese bride was more on the fresh side but not as flavorful. I also got hummus and pita bread. The hummus was delicious and the pita bread was fluffy! I did feel like overall the prices were generally expensive. They have a harissa chicken that I will be trying next.

I wish this place was open later on Sundays especially since they're closed several days a week. We would be a weekly regular if so. I ordered for pickup since sometimes there are no seats inside and with it being cold outside, I didn't really want to entertain sitting outside. There was a new manoushe: harissa chicken so I ordered that along with our go to hot halabi and my child got the hot halabi with the Aleppo pepper on the side (so she can dip or control the spice). Since there was a table available, we decided to dine in. As I was paying for a canned drink, my husband asked if could add a cookie, and watched $9 pop up causing some confusion. When I glanced to look at the cookie after clarifying the price was right, I realize it was the elusive Dubai chocolate cookie. My husband said it just looked good and he hadn't noticed the price or known about how people have been searching for these pistachio chocolate cookies. The harissa chicken has a slight kick and it's good but, in my opinion, nothing really tops the hot halabi. As predicted, my child could not finish the manoushe so we packed up leftovers and the cookie to go. In a last minute decision I also ordered the orange chai to go. Nothing like a hot drink to dip a cookie in! When we got home, we immediately put the cookie in the microwave and heated for the recommended second. The cookie was divine. It actually didn't need the chai and I didn't want to mix the flavors so I ended consuming them separately (sharing with the family). Also, don't sleep on their dips! The toum is super garlicky and a favorite of mine. Their baba ghanoush is very smokey which was a surprise. I prefer my eggplant dips a bit less smokey but it doesn't stop me from getting it!

One of my all time favorite foods in the DMV (and trust me, I've had a lot). The manoushe is super fresh, delicious and flavorful. My personal favorite was the hot halaby chicken and the chicken shawarma manoushe. The Lebanese bride was a close 2nd/3rd. If you're ever in the area, I recommend stopping by, you won't regret it. The place is a family establishment with lots of charm. There are a few tables and other small Arab related items that are sold. I personally really like their homemade Shatta.

I've had Z&Z bookmarked for months and finally made the trek up there from DC. My only regret is that I waited so long, as it's absolutely worth the journey if you aren't nearby. I had the classic manoushe topped with veggies and toum, along with a special chicken shawarma manoushe. I've had a lot of manoushe and the classic at Z&Z is by far the best, it's perfect! They have a small market section with mostly goods that they produce in house. I bought the baba ganoush and it was the best I've ever had, very smokey. I would go up there just for more of their dips. The drink menu is also very interesting. I had the iced karak tea and it was fantastic, not too sweet with a strong black tea flavor. Usually karak tea is too milky or too sweet, but this was bold and spicy. I love that they use big ice cubes so it doesn't get watered down. I couldn't recommend this neighborhood gem more, simply fabulous!

It's a small fast casual place with very limited seating inside and some outdoor seating. They serve Manoushe, which was the first time I've ever had it. We ended up getting the Cocktail, Lebanese Bride, Lahm bi ajeen, Cardamom cream coffee and street corn (special). My favorites were the cocktail and Lebanese bride as both were light and flavorful. The fresh veggies on the Lebanese bride made it refreshing. The cardamom in the coffee was light, but I wish it was a stronger flavor. The street corn was ok. Staff were really nice, and even brought out some of our items outside for us.

I love a local ethnic spot- the zata'ar is on point, but the flat breads are very limited in their variety. There are no options for someone watching their carb intake, and very few vegetarian options. I wish I could support this place more.

A fantastic manqoushe bakery! I recently went here with two friends for a weekend brunch and had a great experience. We were able to get a table immediately at the small, cozy bakery, ordered quickly, and got our food in a timely manner. I also enjoyed getting to see the chefs cook our meal right in front of us. I ordered a coffee with cardamom and a delicious cream and enjoyed it immensely-rich flavors that didn't overwhelm the quality coffee. My friends and I split three things: the Jibneh, Toum Raider, and Cocktail, all of which had delicious crusts and were perfectly baked. The portion sizes were good and everything was fairly priced for size and quality. My favorite was the Toum Raider, which had the right amount of toum (garlic in Arabic), complemented with lots of fresh mint, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Like the Cocktail, there was a bit too much za'atar, which at times overwhelmed everything. The Jibneh (cheese in Arabic) had the right amount of cheese-to-crust ratio and was well-melted with a good ratio of za'atar on top. I would recommend Z&Z for a great breakfast, brunch, or lunch!

Z&z is my favorite manoushe bakery. Msnoushe is a type of middle eastern flatbread. Similar to a pizza but the toppings are what makes it different and unique. I've had all the vegetarian options here and my favorite is the Lebanese bride. The labneh spread with fresh veggies is perfection. The classic plus is in second where it switches out the labneh spread for za'atar. The jibneh is in third and it's good but too reminiscent of a cheese pizza. Reminiscent of a good cheese pizza but still a cheese pizza. There's only one size which is personal sized. An adult finish one by themselves so if you want one, sharing will be limited.

I've been to Z&Z a handful of times by now, but I finally tried their Harissa Chicken pizza. I've taken a new friend each time I go to introduce them to this place, and the hype continues to live on. I honestly need to put in the effort to make my own toum lol.

Coming into this small shop is definitely like walking into a family kitchen. Very lively and also extremely welcoming. The menu is very simple but the team is always happy to give recommendations. I ordered the lahm bi ajeen and the young man taking order recommended adding cheese and that recommendation was phenomenal. The chai is extremely flavorful and ridiculously hot so be cautious before trying to drink. The food also comes immediately out of the oven so try not to burn your mouth. This has been my second time here and it's leagues better than pizza. If you have time me and my wife highly recommend this hidden little gem.

We ordered takeout from Z&Z and it was a pretty great experience! We ordered 3 different pizzas (though they feel more like flatbreads lol). Overall the flavors were there, they were very light and filling at the same time! Which we enjoyed because you didn't feel like you just ate a ton of pizza afterwards! Definitely give this place a try if you get the chance and are into unique pizzas!

This is one of my favorite spots in Maryland, hands down. The interior is so lovely and feels really homey. You can tell that this is a brick-and-mortar family business by their incredibly hospitality. You get to learn a lot about Palestinian culture by just observing the decor. Furthermore, the food is delicious and made to order. Everything tasted so vibrant and fresh. The dough game is on point---a perfectly chewy and crispy crust. Sometimes when you try good food, you can taste the love. This is one of those places! Can't wait to come back.

If you can handle middle eastern spices (not spicy, as in flavors) then you'll love the pizza. The shop is small so maybe plan to pick up and go. But the vibes in there are great! Everyone is having a good time and it reflects in the food. We got the classic and the Lebanese bride because we weren't sure what to expect. But we wished we had gotten some with meat on it. Definitely will be back to try more.

About a 2-2.5: Z&Z is known for their delicious, made-to-order manoushes - however, I had tried their Karak Chai that was advertised on one of their trifolds outside. Unfortunately, this drink wasn't that great - it wasn't watered down and hardly had that good chai flavor; it was creamy, though, but I wished that it was steeped longer. I also did request this to be extra hot, but it was lukewarm, at best. Service is very friendly, and there's a small waiting area (just a couple of chairs); the place itself is cozy with a handful of tables for indoor dining, as well as some patio seating outside for al fresco dining. Plenty of parking in their small strip plaza lot. +avoid the chai! +stick with the manoushes! +friendly staff +plenty of parking in the small plaza lot

I had a craving for Za'atar bread, but honestly felt like its potential was unmet because it was over-cooked and looked and tasted a bit charred. I feel like I would have given it a higher rating due to the authentic spices if it were not over-cooked and semi-burnt. I wonder if they can adjust either the amount of time it stays in the oven or temperature.

We finally came here last month for the first time and it was such a fun new experience! The staff is super helpful and friendly and worked with us to figure out what to order. We ended up with 3 because we have no chill. We got the hot honey, lahm be ajeen and the Mariam had a little lamb. Unexpectedly our favorite was the hot honey which was amazing! While it's a little small inside, we would definitely get takeout again!

Away from the well-traveled, restaurant-lined Rockville Pike is this wonderful find in a small shopping center. It's very simple and homey inside. Walk up to the counter and order. For here or to go? There's some seating indoors and a few tables outdoors. We decided to eat outside under the overcast sky that day. They kindly brought out the flatbread to our table. There were some tough choices to make on their menu, but the three of us shared the Hot Halaby Honey, Lahm Bi Ajeen, and Mariam Had a Little Lamb. The portion - each a personal flatbread - was enough food for us. We were also pleased with our picks! Very distinct flavors on each of them. These were the flatbreads with the heaviest toppings, but the simpler ones at the top of the menu look just as good. Since it was a bit cold outside, we also ordered hot drinks. I had the Karak Chai. Not too sweet and spiced.

If you're in Rockville, MD, and haven't been to Z&Z Manoushe Bakery, a Palestinian bakery that's absolutely killing the manoushe game, stop what you're doing and go. Right now. Seriously. As someone born and raised in Palestine and well-traveled across the Middle East, I can confidently say--this place gets it. The dough? Absolute perfection. Palestinian-style, baked just right--light, fluffy, and gentle on the stomach, so you can eat way more than you probably should. The Toum Raider Manoushe is a garlic lover's dream, and the Harissa Chicken Manoushe? That thing smells so good it should be illegal. The spice blend alone is enough to make you rethink every other sandwich you've ever eaten. The staff are the kind of people who make you feel like you just walked into your favorite cousin's house--warm, welcoming, and probably happier to see you than your actual relatives. The bakery itself has that cozy, intoxicating oven-baked aroma that makes you want to move in. But listen, don't overstay--there are other hungry people waiting for their turn. Eat, enjoy, and let someone else experience the magic. And before you leave, check out their market section, stocked with all kinds of Middle Eastern essentials--authentic Palestinian za'atar, spice blends, creamy labneh, smoky baba ghanouj, homemade pickles, makdous, fresh pita bread--basically, everything you need to turn your kitchen into a Palestinian feast. Bottom line: Z&Z isn't just a bakery; it's an experience. It's Palestinian flavors done right, with love, tradition, and a whole lot of za'atar. If you love manoushe (or just love ridiculously good food), this place is a must.

We wandered here after a lazy day hanging out with friends. It's a small pizza spot my husband frequented in Bethesda when he use to live here. The menu is small which can be good and bad. For me it helped narrow down the choices. My pizza had sajook sausage and hot honey. It was sweet, meaty, and very cheesy Yumm! My husband got a play on traditional Turkish pizza which has basically ground meat on bread. Also very yummy. Come stop by! It gooooood!

I'd heard about this place from the MoCo Show and decided to give it a try as I was in the area. When I walked in to the restaurant, the smell was wonderful. I would have happily eaten my meal there if there had been a table available. Because the place was so busy, I decided to get my food to go. The Harissa Chicken flatbread was very good. They market it as spicy, and I suppose that if you aren't accustomed to spice, it may be spicy. To me, it had a little warmth, but it wasn't spicy. That said, it was incredibly tasty - especially with a squeeze of the lime they provided. Service was kind, and the place was busy, but even so, I think my food was ready within 10 minutes. I plan to come back and try all the other flavors.

The seating is limited but the store is cozy and service is excellent. During my visit I saw plenty of people come in for pickup and I might do that in the future! I've been wanting to go to Z&Z for a long time and was glad I did make it there :-) because it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The manoushe is delectable, tender with crispy edges, and generously covered in your choice of toppings. The Toum Raider was perfectly fresh and flavorful, incredible spices come through every bite. The Mariam was so satisfying, and I ordered another one before I finished my meal. I also had a hot chai and it was probably the best I've ever had. I bought a container of toum to take home and savored it. I can't wait to revisit!

This is my second time in. Super cute family owned business with delicious flatbreads! They also have lots of food items for sale including pickled vegetables, different dips, caramels etc. We split the Jibneh which was amazing! Two people can split one for a light lunch, but a whole flatbread would be a big meal. I have also tried the Tom raider which was excellent.

Delicious manoushes. Classic za'atar and lebanese bride are my favorite. Their cardamom lattes are perfectly balanced as well. I was lucky to try their corn when they had a special going on. It was one of my favorites as well.

I made a takeout order for the hot halaby honey (15$) and the lahm bi ajeen ($15). The service was solid. The hot halaby honey was definitely my favorite of the two. It had a sweet savory taste that was pretty good. The lahm bi ajeen was solid but was nothing special. All in all, the food is good but definitely overpriced for the servings they give you.

So I only found out about this place because my nail shop moved right next-door. The first few times I went in I was oblivious on what the order, had no idea what anything was other than flatbread. Every time I walked through the doors I felt so welcomed, let's just start right there. Literally every single time I walk in I feel like I am part of the family. No matter who I speak to. They always go over the menu with me as if it was my first time. One day I walked in, and had no idea what to order, but there was a sign outside and it showed a pizza. Have you ever had middle eastern pizza? Hot halaby honey pizza to be exact? The mix of sweet and spicy on this pizza was perfect. I always leave with two extra flatbreads because it is just that good! One of my favorite, welcoming places to dine. The place really makes me feel like home. I now make my nail appointments based on their schedule because if I come home without any bread, I will be in trouble! Customer service goes a long way, and I will always return because of how they treat everyone. Z&Z Manoushe Bakery
