I really like Zesto's. The food is good, portions are large, and the prices are reasonable. I especially like the antipasto salad and the calzones. Everyone is friendly and orders come together quickly. Great for take out when cooking at home is just not happening. read more

Regular there. Always quick, always polite and never mess up the order. My go to pizza spot in jp

I ordered a slice of pepperoni. I just watched him complete a money transaction before me and he also handled my money. Then he grabbed my pizza slice (which was a cheese pizza made earlier) added pepperoni and cheese and threw it in the oven. From there, he turned around and grabbed a piece of trash up off the floor, and then started making a fish sandwich. HE DID NOT WEAR GLOVES,DISINFECT, OR WASH HIS HANDS THE WHOLE TIME I WAS IN THERE. The pizza wasnt too great either. This place showed no concern for hygiene. I won't be coming back ever. read more

We've long been fans of the guys at Zesto's, my wife especially favoring the Sunrise pizza. In an order delivered by them last night--everything piping hot, I had to wait for my Eggplant Parm sub to cool down!--they made, however, a quantum leap to wider onion rings. I consider myself a connoisseur of the latter delicacy, willing to range far and wide for the best. These were superb. Check them out at Zesto's in lovely Jamaica Plain, try the Sunshine pizza, and anything else that strikes your palette. You won't be disappointed! read more

We just moved to Jamaica Plain and needed a pizza to be delivered. My partner, Jim, recalled going to Zesto's some years ago, so we gave them a try and ordered a large pizza with sausage, green peppers and onions. The pizza arrived way earlier than expected, the delivery guy was very friendly and the pizza was hot and delicious. We'll give them a call next time we want a nice, hot and delicious pizza. read more

We've lived in the area for 10 years, and Zesto's is our go-to pizza place! We love this friendly neighborhood spot- we love their pizzas, calzones, mozzarella sticks and occasionally the buffalo chicken salad. We love that they remember us, and that the food is consistently good. We're so lucky to have this place right down the street. We often get the Buffalo chicken calzone with bacon and broccoli or the Sunrise pizza, and of course a side order of mozzarella sticks. read more

A great, friendly, neighborhood joint. I called an order in and walked to pick up my pizza. It was so good! Nothing gourmet or fancy--a red sauce joint with the traditional toppings offered and Greek salad. Just what I needed one crazy work day--no cooking, just mangia! :) they have all sorts of things other than pizza but I've only tried the pizza. They guys working there are super nice and friendly. I feel good supporting this spot! And let me tell you... the pizza was great to wake up to the next day. #coldpizzaforbreakfast read more

Just good, tasty comfort (steak bomb, wings, and pasta dishes are among my favorites), generous servings, reasonable prices, dependable and friendly service. I've frequented Zesto's more often during the pandemic, and I will continue to do so even after we wrestle this thing down. A great place to pick up a satisfying lunch or dinner -- and very possibly with some good leftovers for later. read more

My favorite pizza place! I go here any time I crave for pizzas. Their pizzas have an awesome crust that has an amazing balance of crispy and dough-y The owner and the staff who run the place and super friendly. I once went in not knowing what toppings I wanted and the owner suggested something that has become my top favorite now and always order the same thing every time I go. I love their buffalo chicken wings as well but it isn't as spicy as buffalo wings I have had elsewhere but just as good. read more

The ppl here are very friendly. Well at least the guy that answered the phone to take my order was. Food arrived in a great amount of time. The pizza there is good. Best that ive had in a long time. One of my co-workers had the Chicken Ceasar salad and he said that it was really good, said the chicken was nice and tender and full of flavor. We also had motz sticks which were alright but nothing special about them. I wish more ppl would bread their own rather than buying the frozen ones you just fry. all in all this place was ok. I would recommend them read more

Great little local Greek-style pizzeria, always very quick. Greek-style pizza, not thin slice. I get their garlic bread all the time, and I love their onion rings too (very generous portion of onion rings)! Call to place a take-out order, don't order online and have to pay the fee. Very convenient, right on Centre Street. read more

Zesto's Pizza & Grill - These people really pulled a Chuck E. Cheese on me. Don't ever buy from this restaurant again. - Pizza Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

Was 5 seconds from ordering a pizza when I noticed their mandatory "local pizza tech" fee. If you want to innovate pizza tech do it on your own dime. read more

I lived in JP for years and got their grilled chicken or steak tip salad every single night, rain or shine, flood or blizzard. Always reliable, always friendly. I am literally writing this under quarantine reminiscing from across the country. read more

Awful awful awful service. I stopped going there one day when they lied to me and told me they were out of spinach to explain my it was missing from my "Greek" calzone and then outright refused to replace it. Since then I hear more and more people complaining about the service:once a driver flipped out on someone when it took them a minute or two to find their credit card, a friend had to wait another 20 minutes after calling in for a sub because a driver accidentally left with it, a delivery guy straight up left with the food from my workplace because they were tired of waiting for the person to come and get it, and just tales of general rudeness. read more

Absolutely terrible. It took them 2.5 hours to deliver a pizza and a salad. I called three times to ask what was going on, each time the guy who answered told me "the driver just left". When it finally arrived, the pizza was stone cold (surprise!), and the toppings were gross and congealed. I told the driver I had been waiting for hours, somehow this surprised him. I checked the pizza before he left, I told him it was cold, and his response was "Well, what can you do?". No apology, no remorse, and I didn't sense any surprise when I told him I'm never ordering from them again. So, I guess in a way I answered his question- "what I can do" is never spend another cent at this place and advise you not to, either. read more

I have lived on Boylston for 8+ years now... and back in the day... this place was called The Friendly Eating Place and was an absolute HOLE. Years ago, it underwent a face-lift and reopened as Zestos. Thank the all mighty pizza gods. They use good produce for their salads/subs- some of the best that I have ever gotten at a quick sub joint, and the people working there are very nice. Every once in a while they are turse, but I really don't go to get a calzone for the conversation that it might lead to. Good prices (not wicked cheep... but the food is worth the extra buck), fresh foods and all done quickly. Seriously, who could ask for more? read more

I had edible pizza from here. That's about the best I can say about it. It definitely wasn't good, more like gas-station quality. Crust was pretty awful, sauce barely existent, huge amounts of gummy cheese, piles of veggie toppings. I paid around $15 for a large veggie pizza, which was not huge and not very delicious. Next time I'm headed down the street to see if Ideal is any better. I agree with Anthony L. about the font on the sign-- the signage and decor made me think I was going to get much better food than I did. read more

Haiku to Zestos Your pizza was lame, Attendant on his cell phone While I ordered food I like your paint job, But nothing else much to say. You bore me, really. read more

Meatball sub = FAIL. One of the least inspired interpretations of this classic I've experienced in a while. The "meat" balls were obviously factory made, frozen in a multi-pound bag, and likely purchased from Sysco or Costco. Almost completely devoid of flavor or texture and warmed over in a correspondingly tasteless red liquid passing for sauce. All this was presented on a gummy sub roll that had the consistency of oatmeal and ultimately became indistinguishable from the cheese. Next time I'll look for a "home made meatball" descriptor. read more

I eat at Zestos a lot because it is extra close to my house and doesn't require driving or delivery. I don't experiment much with the menu, but I can assure you that the Mona Lisa is one of the best steak tip subs you'll ever eat. I don't know what they marinate the tips in, but it's unique and delicious. When feeling "healthy," I go for their chicken caesar salad, which is also above average in both taste and serving size. My only gripe with Zestos is their pizza. It's pretty much just average... not bad, but with so many other great options on the menu, I rarely opt for a slice. If you're ever kicking it in JP, and you need a bite on the quick, look no further. read more

As far as pizza joints and sub shops go, this is it - the baseline for which all others should be compared to. I've been into the location a number of times and it is like many other, maybe even cleaner if that's worth talking about. It's a pizza place; who cares? For the most part, this is a take-out of delivery establishment and with far above average promptness, your food will be delivered tasting just the way you had hoped. It's almost so deceptively good that you forget that you you're not eating healthily. The pizza is much better than most others in the area, and the subs you could down without coming up for air. The calzones always hit the spot and rarely leave you feeling as though there's too much bread and not enough umppph. Apps look a little pricey but upon closer inspection, the portion sizes are more generous than other places and they flat out tast a whole lot better. You can't really go wrong with Zesto's, unless of course you're foolish and order from somewhere else in the neighborhood. read more

I love their bbq chicken pizza. We've only eaten at Zesto's so I don't know abou their delivery people, but the guys at the counter are always very nice. The pizza is served pipping hot and they generally have a lot of seats to spread out in. It does suck that they don't take credit cards, but it is something you can deal with. Parking for here sucks, also because of the intersection that it is at. read more

Considering I work nearby, I go here pretty often when I forget to make a lunch. I've had the pizza, subs, and pasta. The pizza is okay. I know they're putting fresh ingredients so I don't mind the price too much, but the dough isn't extraordinary. The food is acceptable, quick, and convenient. I think people should give this place a chance. I know it's going towards a local family establishment. I love the consistency and familiar face of someone working hard. read more

I'm surprised at all the negative reviews about service on here: our pizza came very quickly the night after Halloween, when I imagine many people around town are doing takeout. We ordered the vegetarian pizza with garlic, it was good but not amazing like Bella Luna. They do use all fresh veggies which is more than Same Old Place can claim, but the crust left something to be desired. Not bad, just nothing special. All in all a good pizza at a great price (five topping large for $13.25, way less than any other respectable pizza joint in the neighborhood). read more

First, I have to respond to Greg M.'s review ... Zesto's does not accept credit cards (which has caused them to lose my business on several occasions). Oh, but I see you wrote that in 2006 so perhaps they took them then. Anyway, I have mixed feelings about this place. The service has been off and on. On several different occasions when I've called, either no one has picked up the phone or someone someone picks up only to put me on hold and never pick up again and/or hangs up on me. Fine, I can excuse that ... But the last time I ordered pizzas, they quoted 45min on the phone and then it took about an hour and 15. I joked (sort of) to the delivery guy that it should be 1/2 off and he gave me some excuse about being the only shop open and only having two guys there. Not really a good excuse for poor service. Anyway, fine, we got our food. But then I opened the pizzas to find both were stone cold and one was mostly inedible because it had been completely overcooked. It was like cardboard with some burnt cheese on top. Pretty disappointing for 30 bucks +tip. I will say that the guys are generally very nice though. And I do live literally right down the street and they haven't made me feel like an a** for asking for delivery (only on really really cold days, I swear!). When they do get the pizza right, it's delicious. Favorite pick: the Bianca read more

Tonight I got four pizzas and 30 wings from Zestos. The pizza is pretty good. It's got a somewhat thicker, but crunchy, crust. The flavor of the dough has a bit of character. The tomato sauce is a bit sweet but the hawaiian pizza was GREAT because they put huge chunks of bacon on it in addition to ham. Good bacon, too. The wings were just alright. They're 50 cent wings, and for that I would expect the larger, non-breaded variety, but these are the little breaded (and heavily salted) wing ding variety. Mouse loves em. Me? I'll stick with the hawaiian. The service is what earns this place 4 stars. Prompt, friendly service. Really nice guys. read more

All in all, a pretty decent steak & cheese. Comprised of that loose mystery meat one expects from a joint like this, lots of melty white cheese of undeterminable type, and "the hots." I was tempted to detract one star based on the absurdly epic delivery time, which resulted in a sub-room temperature sammich (nothing a brief stay in Hotel Oven couldn't fix). The only thing stopping me is the fact that I live, quite literally, less than 3 minutes walking time from the place. I have accepted that the 50 minute stretch from order to doorbell-ringing is in fact my penance for being the laziest motherfucker in town. read more

Zesto's has great deals and good prices! It would not be the first place that I would get food, but I've had food here a few times. Pizza is decent! BLT not so good. (But, everyone loves their bacon cooked differently, and I really like my bacon cooked, almost burnt...) I will be back to continuing to try new options. I will be sure to give an update. The staff is friendly and they are quick and always on time! read more

You need to know what to get here - some stuff is fantastic, some stuff isn't. The Mona Lisa wrap / Mona Lisa sub is excellent, for example, perfectly balanced between moist steak, soft spinach, flavorful feta and just the right amount of greek dressing. I'm also a huge fan of their Vidan pizza, which absolutely hit that comfort-food spot when I ordered it a few weeks back. Beyond that, I've liked their sirloin burger quite a bit, but the quality varies - sometimes they get it just right, sometimes it's kinda flavorless. It's generally a safe bet, though. The tuna wrap and the caesar wrap are solid. I really like their smokey joe wrap / smokey joe sub - it just tastes fresh and pleasant. Their fries tend to be soft and soggy, which is a downer, since they TASTE good. I like the sweet potato fries, but yeah, you have to stick them in the toaster oven, otherwise they're just eh. Wasn't a fan of the meatball sub or the italian sub. So, yeah, it's mixed, but the good is very good, and I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

I love Zesto's. The pizza is great and so are the spicy fries. The garlic bread was about average. The price isn't too bad either. The worker there is really nice as well. :) read more
