A hidden gem in south San Francisco, Zorba’s pizza has served mouth watering pizzas for more than 35 years. When receiving the menu I was impressed how many dishes they had to offer. From pasta to gyros and hamburgers to pizzas it almost felt as if we weren’t in a pizzeria! 

After some thought, I decided to have their specialty, their Award Winning Pizza. I had to see what made this pizza so award winning? 

As the waiter brought the pizza to my table my eyes fixed on the glistening pie. This was not food, it was art! The canvas was the dough, the background was the marinara sauce, the sparkling cheese radiant colors of the sun, and the mushrooms and the cut pepperoni added patterns to the mix. But the showstopper was the dollops of ricotta that looked like baby daisies blooming on the early morning of spring.

I hesitated pulling away the first slice, the cheese stretched out as if I was watching a pizza commercial. 

As I took the first bite the dough was a smooth texture while the flavors were ballistic and creamy at the same time. All of the bold flavors announce their presence on your tongue as they are charged into your taste buds at full force making it scrumptious. But when adding the coolness of the melo, creamy, silky flavors to wash away the boldness it depicts the angelic presence after the aftermath of a battle. 

Overall the taste of the pizza was amazing and I would definitely recommend Zorba’s Award winning Pizza to any pizza lover, because the pizza along with the service and experience was definitely award winning. Zorba’s pizza gets a total of 5 out of 5 stars.
