Zwanzigz Pizza

The pizza was so-​so but the beer and ambience were nice. Others at the table commented that they’ve «had worse» hoagies. But we were quite disappointed by the salad that arrived in a cold box with packaged Kraft dressing. Then we had to eat in styrofoam plates with plastic utensils. Wanted a nicer/​classier meal but this was a bit too tacky.

Being from nowhere near here this is a «NOT» try wow this pizza is not good at all. They use canned mushrooms for god’s sake.
The beer was great food was average.
Also when we went to get seated no one sat us. The bar is very cramped. And there are all these rules like you can’t order a beer and bring it to the other room. Seem to confusing for there pos system. Plus every time you order a beer or food you pay on the spot no tab. This place is pretty backwards with a little work it could really be something…

This is our favorite pizza place. Great food, atmosphere, beer, and homemade pop. They have a really affordable lunch special.

Being from Columbus, this is a place you must try! Great lunch specials everyday for a very reasonable price!
With their brewery on site, I’ll challenge you to find a better variety of «house» beers in Columbus, my favorite being the Nut Brown.

Good food, great beer, fun atmosphere with plenty of places to hang out (booth, table, «bat cave», bar, outdoor patio) and terrific parking in this residential neighborhood restaurant /​bar. I’ve been to Z’s maybe 40 times over the past 2 years as a local in Columbus. I’m a big fan. Even so, management needs to continue to develop the newer staff to be more personable /​friendlier.

I ordered a classic calzone and the one they brought out was not correct. The waiter claimed that I got what I ordered and when I told him that he was incorrect he glared at me like he thought I was lying. The replacement calzone didn’t arrive till everyone else in the party had finished. Worst of all was the explosive diarrhea that followed the meal. The pale ale was decent, but I dont enjoy any of their other beer offerings. You might be able to say that this place is good by Columbus standards, but I’m not sure I would go that far after this experience.

We love ZwanzigZ! The pizza is absolutely delicious & they offer loads of options. Breadsticks are hot, fresh & yummy. Love their beer selection & often head there with our growlers!
The staff is definitely in need of understanding how far a friendly smile will get them. They definitely seemed stressed out & unhappy. Like, every single time we go.
You go up to the counter to order. No problem with doing that, however you can wait a long time to get your beer. And, if you want another one, you have to go back up to the counter again, and wait on your beer again. Just seems like they would be top notch if they would get some wait staff & talked to their employees about friendly customer service.

The beer here was decent but the service was so awful here that even if the calzones we ordered had been good (which they weren’t) I would never return. Every employee that we interacted with was rude and seemed averse to doing any work. It took a lot of work on our part to get anyone to take our order. There were a lot of employees working, hardly any patrons, but lots of dirty tables. Everything is served on plastic which seems incredibly wasteful. I’d recommend staying away from this place!

Pizza place more than brewery, but both the beer & pizza are pretty good. Quick stop for carryout. Very small «bar» area and actual bar. Serves more as an area to buy a beer as you wait for your table. No real bar back, just taps and chalkboards that describe the beer. Go for dinner and take a growler home, don’t go there for the «pub».

The pizza is good and the lunch special is a great value; however, I cannot overlook the horrible service. There have been multiple occasions in which I have been treated poorly by the staff. The most recent incident occurred when I told a staff member that they were out of plastic forks. She exclaimed, «I know! I’m trying to get them right now! But I’m going to need you to move out of the way!» She proceeded to shoo my friend and I away from the counter. My friend and I were both in shock over how rudely she handled the situation.

Great pizza, great beer! Especially love the BBQ chicken + green bell pepper and the pumpkin latte beer! The chocolate/​blueberry mixed beer is also great year round. :)

This is either a great restaurant or Columbus is wanting for good places to eat. I think both are true actually.
Zwanzigz was absolutely packed when I came here for lunch on a weekday. The parking lot was full (there is ample street parking) and people were lined up 10 deep to order from the counter. Seating was an issue, but our large group was able to snag 2 booths next to each other. There were also picnic tables outside available.
The line was long, but it moved fast as there were 2 registers going.
The daily lunch special was a great deal. Slice of pizza, breadsticks, dipping sauce, and a fountain drink (free refills) for about $ 7.
Pizza was pretty good. It was your typical hand-​tossed pie. Sauce was not overly sweet and there were ample toppings.
I definitely need to come back and try their full menu and some of their beers (brewed onsite).

This is the best Pizza in Columbus.
However, I would like to see more creativity in the topping combinations. The service can be a little slow, too and unfriendly.
One great thing, is they sell the dough for you to take home and make your own pizza which two thumbs up for that!

I was born in NY and live/​work in Chicago.
I. Know. Pizza.
Not impressed AT ALL!
Service is terrible and pizza is mediocre at best.
Admittedly better than Pizza Hut, but just barely.
Everyone working here is suffering from «big fish, little pond» syndrome.

I visited on a Friday during lunch. The place was packed. I hadn’t ever been there before, and the woman taking my order could have been a little more friendly explaining how it all works, but I understand that she was under lunch-​rush pressure.
My boyfriend and I each got a the lunch special, which is: salad OR pizza with breadsticks and a drinks for $ 5.99. The pizza slice was HUGE. Mine was easily ¼ of a pizza. I couldn’t eat all of it.
The breadsticks were phenomenal and freshly baked. I had the sausage pizza. It has something sweet in the crust or the sauce. I’m not sure I’d get it again. I’d welcome a veggie pizza option though! Overall, Zwinzigs is a great stop for an afforable lunch, and the lunch special is a great way to try the place out.

One of the primary reasons I joined Unilocal was to review Zwanzigz. I’ve been a big fan since the day they opened and then my love for them multiplied when they opened the brewery. I know the owners and lots of other employees. However, I went a month ago and received awful service there. To be fair, everyone has a bad day every so often and maybe I just got the wrong employee on the wrong day. Fast forward to today.
Regardless of what the calendar says, today is the first day of spring – mild temps, sunshine, and a general shift in the herd’s attitude. Baby momma says she wants to celebrate surviving another awful winter and who am I to argue?
They weren’t packed, which is very unusual for a fair weather day. This may be an indication that other folks received awful service that same day. Or maybe it wasn’t just one bad day but a bad month for service instead…
Shell shocked from my last visit, I nervously ordered what I always do. Much to my surprise, I was greeted with a friendly smile and great service!
My beer showed up immediately. It was delicious. Our breadsticks next, equally delicious. Then came the pizza, as delicious as the rest of the meal.
I love Zwanzigz too much to ever leave for good. It’s like staying with an abusive wife – you’ll put up with lots of crap if she’s hot enough. Or vice versa. Gender equality, etc. That being said, I am so glad things seem to have turned around since my last visit.
I look forward to many many more nights like this. Great food, good service, amazing beer. It can’t get much better than this.
Get you some!

Holy chocolate beer. And not a stout/​porter? What that means to me is that I can drink many more without filling up. My boyfriend, who is crazy and doesn’t like chocolate, paused after taking a sip to emphatically say «so good.» Looking for something a bit spicier? The ghost pepper stout is fantastic. Something a but lighter? Go with the foehnstrum pilsner, light, drinkable, but far from boring. Hophead? The triple z ipa is calling your name. Ready to circle back and have a touch of sweetness once again? Go for the blue berry beer. All in all, when it comes to beer, you simply can’t go wrong. Go here, get the beer, wash it down with some pizza, finish the meal with some dessert (beer) and you can go home satisfied.

Excellent tasting beer and pizza. I’ve had the chocolate beer before and was ecstatic that a friend wanted to celebrate her birthday here so I could try it again! On this trip, I had the fantastic chocolate beer but also tried the porter, which was appropriate for the cold temperatures.
I also tried the lasagna pizza (top notch!), pepperoni pizza, and cheese sticks. I’m still dreaming about the lasagna pizza three days later.
The only reason this didn’t get five stars was the service. One of the servers working in our area was clearly not happy to be there and we tried to stay out of her way. Additionally, we brought a growler specifically to fill up on some chocolate beer, but were told that they could not fill up our growler – they could either take it and give us one of theirs, or we’d have to just buy a new one. My husband didn’t want to give up his Against the Grain growler, so we just purchased a new one. We’d never heard of this practice. However, we were told by people in our party that they’ve come with their own growlers and had them filled before.

Excellent pizza place. If you’re hungry for pizza and beer: this is your stop.
With that said, their servers are typical Indiana folks who could give a crap about you or your money. Go expecting sub-​par service, and you won’t be disappointed. They do also get extremely busy around lunch time with school kids coming right down the street.
Recommend the blueberry beer!

Being an Indy resident, this is a bit off the beaten path for me.
Being a beer lover, I had to visit.
The layout seems nice and open, as though they are ready to accommodate a full crowd. Pleasant décor with nothing over the top.
I would have sat at the bar, but other than a few seats facing the street with minimal airspace, we decided to sit at a table in the dining area. I didn’t feel like fogging up the window.
The beer was pleasant. This didn’t usurp my favorite of breweries, but certainly wasn’t on the bottom rung either. I tried 4 of their blends, one of which was bourbon barrel aged.
I have a great appreciation for hearty aged brews… This one was solid, but felt like it might have spent a little too long in the barrel. Good, but could have been better IMO.
We ordered a half and half; cheeses (5 of them, I forget the name) with BBQ sauce, as well as the other half being Hawaiian.
Pizza was good; and I find myself still pondering a few of the other pies.
I wish they had service /​servers In the dining area. Its sort of a pain to run my debit card for each individual beer /​food item /​etc.
I’ll try more of the bourbon aged blends the next time I’m around. Also, my fingers crossed for a bar table; that way my statement doesn’t look like I live here:)
