Visiting from Kansas City we found this place by accident, actually thought we were going to the Zios we have in the Midwest. Four of us ate and found it delicious. I had clam sauce on linguine, very tender clams and mild sauce. The bread was straight from the oven and they supplied olive oil and herbs to dip it... more

Well, on a visit back to our old stomping grounds, my hubby craved the delicious pizza and salad bar he remembered from our pre-kids days when we'd visit Zio's pretty regularly. We brought our boys with us, and got seated in the front corner booth...very spacious. We were even more excited about the super deal on pizza's...on Monday nights the... more

Seriously disappointing....from filthy tables to watery boxed pasta with canned sauce. This was a horrible experience. Service was ok, but the food was poor. Canned tomato sauce, pasta with water running all over the plate. Seriously, if they didn't have a can opener, they wouldn't be in business. 25 years.......who is eating this stuff? People that love good italian food,... more

I've been going here since I was 6 years old (for over two decades now!). Kids-eat-free Monday nights were my favorite thing as a kid - and the zeppole dessert is still one of my favorite things. The eggplant sub is to die for, as is the fried zucchini. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I've taken many friends... more

Zio's was the pizza place my parents took me growing up, and it is beyond a doubt the greatest pizza I've ever had in my life. I've been a customer for over 20 years, and have spent many a special occasion and birthday in the cozy, tucked away little restaurant off Shady Grove Road. The other, non-pizza dishes are excellent... more

I each lunch at Zio's once a week at least. Everything I've had has been good, but the pizza is exceptional - a thicker crust but still crisp and not doughy, and great sauce. I usually get the Margherita. The salad bar is small but fresh, and the service is congenial. more
