Zelda’s has been our go-to place for pizza for many years. Zelda’s is legendary in Sacramento for its deep dish pizza and surly service. I’m happy to say that the latter is in past now, but the pizza is still just as great! We no longer live in Sacramento, but still have family there, and Zelda’s is a must-do on our visits. Because it’s deep dish, you have to be patient, both when eating there or getting it to go, because it takes a while to cook. We recently stopped by on a Saturday night, with the intent to order a couple of pizzas to go. Though it was only 7:15 pm, we were told that the kitchen was so backed up, they weren’t taking any more orders for the night. Wow, when have you ever been to a restaurant where they said they were too busy to take your business? In this case, we were very appreciative of them telling us that before we spent too much time there! Now forewarned, the next day, we ordered online in mid-afternoon, even though Zelda’s doesn’t open until 5 pm. Order submitted, we were told our pies would be ready for pick up at 5:30. We ordered a sausage and pepperoni pizza, an everything pizza and a pesto pizza. When we arrived at 5:30, our pizzas were ready and extremely hot, obviously fresh out of the oven! We got them home, and immediately devoured them! They were great!
So, I can truthfully say that Zelda’s pizzas are still as good as they’ve ever been! And I highly recommend placing your order online before you arrive there.
