Great vibes from the staff and amazing pizza. This is probably some of the best pizza I’ve had and super filling.
If you’re a variety person I’d get 2-3 different slices and split between two.
Since they use a corn crust the pizza is more dense and filling.
They also have specialty pizzas on a separate menu to the right of the entrance :)

Visited this place for the first time after reading about their cornmeal crust pizzas. We were not disappointed, and in fact pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Great food, excellent service and a nice hometown atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Seemed to be a popular spot for local families as well. I will definitely be returning.
Also, gotta mention that I really liked whatever music playlist they had going during our visit. Fun mix of what I think was postpunk deep cuts. Worked for me!

Thick-crust pies with a cornmeal base that’s somehow light and crisp. The roasted veggie slice with goat cheese is my go-to. Small room, friendly service, and pizza that holds up to a short drive home. Salads are fresh and not an afterthought. It’s comfort food that still tastes thoughtful.

First time here and I’ll definitely be coming back.
I was greeted warmly and explained this was my first visit so I wasn’t sure what to get. The guy at the counter patiently talked about how their pizzas are made with cornmeal, and everything was really good, a nice little hole in the wall spot here in Arcadia. I asked what slices they had available thinking of those pizza places that make a couple pies each day and just heat it up, but everything was made fresh to order including the single slices!
He told me what the specials were and that the salami toscano was really good. I went with a slice of that. He rung me up and said it’ll take about 8 mins or so.
After about 7 mins things started to smell really good in there! The chef handed me my slice, nicely wrapped in wax paper and into a paper bag and told me to enjoy and to come back again. 😊 though we forgot the napkins, whoops
When I got home 20 mins later, I was again surprised to find that the crust was still crunchy! It was so good! The blue cheese was a little funky and rich, so maybe a little marinara sauce would’ve helped cut the richness.
There’s plenty of seating inside and some tables outside. And I loved the music they’d had playing. As I was leaving a group came in for a birthday I think. The workers quickly got them seated and situated with water, plates and utensils. And put the cake in the fridge. Everyone who worked there seemed really friendly and I appreciate the care and attention they had, even into my single slice of pizza.
I’m looking forward to coming back and trying all of the other pizzas! Thank you :)

Zelo’s serves up yummy corn crust pizza that never disappoints! staff is friendly and down to earth. seems like they like working there well enough.
pizza is HEARTY! with a salad i was able to get 2-3 meals out of one pie. we got the sausage and the veggie. the pesto and corn are other favorites.
highly recommend treating yourself here. can order by the slice, as halves or a whole. call ahead if you are in a rush.

I will not eat here ever again, and I strongly suggest no one else does either. I witnessed the cooks not wearing gloves and handling all the food. In the time that I was noticing this, I had not seen one single person wash their hands. The place looks like it hasnt been properly cleaned in decades. Just when I thought that place couldnt get any worse, I went to the bathroom. The cleanliness of the bathrooms in a restaurant tell you how clean the kitchen is. ?? To make matters worse, on my way out of the bathroom, I noticed a few rat traps in the sink area of the kitchen. Does anyone clean in there ever? What about having a food handlers? Seems like no one is aware of these things or they just dont care? The food was talked up only for it to be subpar. The dough of the pizza was terrible. Its a shame because years ago this place was so good. And the dough was to die for. Though I had never actually dined in until recently. Had always gotten my food to go. Should have stuck to that. Oh, and get this, my server was drunk and openly drinking beers in the kitchen. Such a shame seeing places be ruined. Thought about not leaving this review but a friend of mine changed my mind and convinced me to inform others. Stay safe out there everyone. Dont go get yourself sick from Zelo.
Vegetarian options: Yea theres those options, but if they dont wash their hands its likely they dont wash the produce. Stay safe eat somewhere else that cares about the safety and well-being of their customers.

The food is great but if you show up before closing time they should still be able to serve food, especially when the restaurant is supposedly “open” and there are like 15 people sitting around having dinner. Otherwise just change your hours to 8:30 or 8:45 PM to be real.

The pizza is amazing. Salads are OK. The wait staff is young... and often more interested in socializing with each other than taking care of customers. On my last visit our waiter forgot a number of things. Including to put our order in with the kitchen. We ended up being there for almost two hours. And no one apologized.

I will definitely be back for the works penne pasta! So good. There isn't much of an atmosphere, waiters are chill, they come around every now and then. But food is served hot. I wish they had a bigger wine selection, but they don't mind if you bring your own bottle. I'm not sure they have a cork fee. We did try the pizza. It was good, but the pasta was better.
