Top 5 Reasons Zara Pizza Is a Lower East Side Staple

New pizza spots come and go, but Zara Pizza has been holding it down in the Lower East Side since 2008. We’re not here for trends—we’re here for quality, consistency, and real neighborhood energy. Here’s why Zara has become a go-to spot for locals, regulars, and first-timers alike.

1. Vegetable Oil? Never.

Most pizza joints rely on cheap oils to cut costs. We don’t. Our pizza is 100% vegetable oil-free—made with real olive oil, real ingredients, and no compromises. It’s cleaner, better tasting, and better for you.

2. Brick Oven Bakes Only

Our pizzas are fired at high heat in a real brick oven. That means a crust with texture—crispy edges, soft center, and that signature char. It’s the foundation of everything we do.

3. Family-Owned, Always

No investors. No franchise. Just a tight family crew making pizza the same way every day. When you eat here, you’re supporting real people who care about what they serve.

4. Flavor That Doesn’t Cheat

From our homemade sauce to our hand-prepped toppings, every layer of our pizza is built with intention. No frozen shortcuts, no bulk suppliers. Just disciplined execution.

5. We Deliver It Right

Order through Slice, Uber Eats, Grubhub, or DoorDash—or call us direct. We make sure every pizza shows up hot, whole, and true to the brick oven it came from.

Zara Pizza isn’t just a slice spot. It’s a Lower East Side standard. Taste it and you’ll know why.
