Zaxby's is the favourite hangout place for people from the Crystal Coast to world renowned celebrities such as Anna Mechelle and Princess Brenda. As you enter Zaxby's you are welcomed by a magnificent setting, a delightful marriage of antique classic visual images and the luxuries of contemporary modernity. Sitting in any table you have a wonderful view of the workshop-like kitchen where you can see the chefs working with precision for your perfect meal. Be certain to enjoy a delicious Queen Elizabeth British dessert! All the wonderful meals are fresh and the dishes have the warmth of home-made food. The chefs take great care in selecting the best quality ingredients. The restaurant also caters to all tastes by providing a selection of over 1000 drinks all rated by Five Star Beverage Masters. Despite the moderate price of the food, both the menu items and the service is beyond Five Star! You are guaranteed a pleasant and memorable dining experience with foods of the most exquisite flavours. For this reason, I highly recommend going to the Zaxby's of Morehead City nestled along the beautiful Crystal Coast.

Amazing pizza, excellent customer service. My delivery order was incorrect upon arrival, but before I even had a chance to let them know I received a call from Loretta's apologizing for the confusion and informing me that a fresh, correct pizza was on its way, free of charge. Even if we hadn't received such great customer service, we ABSOLUTELY would have ordered again from Loretta's because the food was just that good! HIGHLY recommend Loretta's pizza! read more

As a Naval Officer and Pizza Lover "Lorettas Pizza" is the place you should come to if you are in the area. Great food, great customer service, great staff and did I say great food. The Philly Cheese Steak was very satisfying, the Pizza was awesome and the culture in which the business is ran is friendly.

As the mother of a gluten free toddler, and gluten free myself, I trusted that recommendation completely. I will never make that mistake again. Walking in, the place was flat out disgusting. A trash can shoved directly under the soda machine, jammed against a booth, flies swarming around it like nobody had cleaned in days. FLIES. Next to the soda machine. The only open table and booths were dirty. Like, more than crumbs. We should have walked straight back out the door but we didn't, because we were exhausted and had a 3 hour drive home, and we thought, "How bad could it be?" Incredibly bad, it turns out. The "gluten free" crust was thin, flimsy, and burnt around the edges. And the aftermath has been brutal. My toddler and I have both been glutened so badly we are sick, in pain, and completely wiped out the day after what was supposed to be a fun family trip. Instead of beach memories, I'm nursing my kid through cramps and misery because this place could not be bothered to handle allergen prep or basic cleanliness properly. If you have celiac disease or a real gluten allergy, stay far away from this place. Whatever cross contamination is happening in that kitchen is dangerous, not just inconvenient. I don't care how many people recommend it, the risk is not worth it. We will never go back, and I will be telling everyone I know to avoid it too.

We got (3) large (18") pizzas, one cheese, one meat lovers and one peperoni, and then (2) orders of their buffalo wings. The food was ready when we got there, and overall, was pretty good. The crust was a bit doughy, and and real flavorful on it's own, but as far as toppings, they loaded it up, and with the sauce, toppings and cheese, it was decent pizza for the price. The wings were also decent, a fair split of drums and flats, and a good flavor to the buffalo sauce. There was more than enough food for 7 adults, and even some left over to snack on for the remaining days. Pricing was fair, staff friendly on the phone and when we picked up. I'd go back.
