Mr. Z's - Sanford

The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming; I don't think I've seen such a lovely group in a year! We drove from DeLand, which is about a 30-minute trip via I-4. We ordered a Philly Cheesesteak, two slices of pepperoni pizza (one for later), a chicken finger, a drink, and a side of cheesy fries. My husband absolutely loved the Philly Cheesesteak, and the cheese dip served with the fries was out of this world—I'd describe it as a delicious, thick queso blanco. The fries were perfection as well, with a delightful kick! I've sampled chicken from many states, but this was hands down the best I've ever had. The pizza was also delicious, featuring a perfectly thin crust topped with generous pepperoni—real NY style! Even the serving bowls were stylish. The atmosphere is excellent and very open, with all the condiments you might need right there (ketchup, salt, Parmesan, crushed red peppers, etc.). To top it all off, I think the owner came out to check on us and see how everything was. Overall, it was a perfect experience—leaving us feeling happy and full! This place is now my new go-to spot; the 30-minute drive is absolutely worth it! If you’re in the area, or even a local who hasn’t yet visited, you should definitely go now! Don't wait—get up and go!

We accidentally discovered this place, and we're so glad we did. We truly enjoyed the diverse range of food we tried. It's a small, local business that provides excellent quality in both food and service. This is definitely a local gem that deserves our support.

The pizza is fantastic, and the prices are quite reasonable! The restaurant is clean, and the staff is friendly!

Extremely friendly service (the owner's wife was a peach) and some high-quality NY-style pizza. Crispy, chewing, fresh crust, hand sat super thin, and they have the hard to find Broccoli topping! The boss's kiss! They were also very professional with our service dog and did not try to recognize or interact with him in any way. They seemed to be knowledgeable on the ADA front! The restaurant is usually accessible to ADA, and while the seating is limited, they have low seats that bring you a wheelchair or scooter directly and transfer if necessary. The area around the restaurant is beautiful and walkable, and there is a bakery around the corner, but it fools near 4:30.

We live in Jacksonville, but this is our go to stop every Orlando trip. We stopped on the way home today and it was delicious as always. My go to is the Buffalo chicken Philly and the kids love the pizza. Today at our visit one of my children knocked off half of an 18 inch pizza on the floor. I wasn't going to say anything and didn't expect anything as it was our fault, but I didn't have to.. The manager working immediately asked the kitchen to fire up a new one and came to grab the one that fell. Awesome staff and food!!
