“ I ordered a Buffalo chicken Stromboli with certain instructions, not only was it not made to my desire it wasn't made as described and had some odd tangy hot sauce. I decided to give it another go however I tried a cheese calzone this time simple as can be. Haha so I thought!! Come to find out it literally mozzarella and bread. I call up and ask them why there is no ricotta cheese the young man tells me "they don't make it with ricotta" so I read him his menu and he proceeds to tell me, " Oh, boy, they have to update our menus. Yes we no longer make it with ricotta but I can put some in a dish for you if you want to come back and get it" SERIOUSLY these are not cheep menu items and it doesn't get more simpler than a cheese calzone. That's what a calzone is mozzarella ricotta and bread sauce on the side. You cant just eliminate the main ingredients. Should have been refunded at the least made a new one!! Very disappointed ***** UPDATE I went back received my refund and decided to try a burger and fries it was absolutely amazing!! The woman Anna was extremely greatful I decided to try again and am songreatful inside as well! Very happy customer will definitely be ordering again. ”
“ I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years and they are great. Personally I’d say skip the pizza, their wraps and Ethiopian food is so much better. Honestly, skip everything and get one of the Ethiopian dishes. You can bring the food over to the bar next door for a cold drink and EXCELLENT food. The guy who works the counter is so extremely nice! Their hours are not up to date though! They close around 9/9:30 on week nights and by 10 on weekends usually. Best to come in an hour before close usually as they sometimes don’t match their listed hours. Overall quality place for to-go food but TOP TIER Ethiopian dishes. ”
“ I’m not sure why this hasn’t really been mentioned but their Ethiopian food offerings are legit! Run.. don’t walk! Really cute hole in the wall that while yes.. they offer pizza, their Ethiopian is what you should be going in for!! So glad I found this neighborhood gem! Get the meat combo, it’s a little bit of everything including veg! ”
“ I have no idea who Zuzu is or why they also sell pizza but their Ethiopian takeout is nothing short of incredible!! I would eat this everyday if I could. Ordered the meat and vegan combos to share. Portions were great. The prices were reasonable for the amount of food and the quality IMO. They included a chicken leg that was so amazingly seasoned and juicy, tender and thick with meat, I was honestly not expecting much given the pizza featured on the Uber Eats app but now it makes me want to try that pizza sometime. Anyway, will be getting again without a doubt. Thanks for the great meal! ”
“ Great spot for pickup- with a few seats for quick dine in. Generous portions and the service is excellent. ”
“ This place is a gem. I had gone past it a bunch and thought it was just a run-of-the-mill pizza joint. No! The owners are Ethiopian and they serve Ethiopian food in addition to traditional American fare. They have something for everyone. My husband is very particular and he loves the Zuzu burger. I get the vegan Ethiopian platter. They also have the best fries you've ever tasted. Everyone who works there is very nice. ”
“ We’re staying in an Airbnb just up the street so popped in and ordered samosas as a snack and took them across the street to Our Town Taproom. They were really good so we went back and got the Ethiopian vegan platter and some BBQ wings to go. The food was excellent and I really enjoyed meeting the son of the family who owns the restaurant. He was taking orders, running the register and was just a really nice guy. Was glad to support their family business and the food was great. ”
“ Thisnis my neighborhood spot. I ordered a chicken blt wrap waffle fries and a burger. The wrap was very fresh, fries were a Lil burned but still good. To my surprise the burgers come in 2s. Great prices. Fast delivery. Definitely will order again. ”
