About this business
Pizza joints are a dime a dozen, but this little eatery is a unique Arcadia find. Their pies are made with cornmeal, making for a light, crispy crust thats packed into a deep dish, high steel rimmed pan. Scooped from the pan, patrons can get a variety of classics as well as vegan options with yummy toppings like eggplant, mushrooms and roasted peppers. The red sauce is made from daily hand crushed tomatoes, and the pizzas can even be half baked to be finished off at home!

Didn't live up to expectations – After reading Jonathan Gold's review and browsing the impressive menu, we couldn't wait to go get a pizza from Zelo. The pizza we got wasn't bad (andouille sausage), but it also wasn't worth the $20 we paid for it. The crust was pretty oily, the "spicy cajun sausage" was completely mild and off-puttingly salty. Overall I just felt that the pizza was priced WAY over its value. The employees there were also rather icy and snootyfaced - not at all the warm, family-style reception other reviewers... read more
Mike you make THE BEST PIZZA hands down! – We've been going here for a while now, as you drive down Foothill, blink and you'll miss it (look for the umbrellas out front) but once you find it, Mike (the owner) has redone the interior a bit but it's still got downhome flavor and the pizza is just to die for ...really Corn Meal crust, all fresh toppings (no canned sauce here) try the corn with carmelized onion or the spinich with sausage. Salads are also yummy, beets with blue cheese, greenbeans and peppers. If comfort food is ... read more
It's all about the cornmeal crust – The "con" from the previous reviewer will change, I'm sure. Jonathan Gold of the LA Weekly raved about Zelo in a recent issue and put the corn pizza on his top 10 distinctive dishes in 2005 list (not sure if I quoted that accurately, but it's close). Great neighborhood feel, the prices are more than fair, the house wine is very decent and it's all about the pizza-- especially the cornmeal crust. There are 6 standard pizzas (the fresh corn pizza w/ smoked mozarella, chives & balsamic marina... read more
Hole-in-the-wall restaurants are the best! – The reviewer before me was right on the money! This pizza place is nothing fancy, but it's a treasure find. It is like a best-kept secret! I was skeptical about the corn meal pizza crust, but it is delicious. The salad I ordered was different--beat salad with blue cheese (not my thing, but i can see how people like it) My server was very knowledgeable and really helpful when it came to choosing toppings. After dinner, I ordered another pizza for later. :)
Best pizza in CA? – CA pizza generally sucks, especially in comparison to NYC/Chicago. Zelo, however, is some of the best pizza I've ever had, and definitely the best I've had in CA. After reading a review, I ordered one with great skepticism. My wife and I were shocked at the quality of the pizza. Closer to a Chicago-style deep dish. Don't be put off by the cornbread crust, it is awesome. Toppings were excellent (sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and huge chinks of garlic). Just wish I didn't live 2 hours away (although it is p... read more
Great food! – My brother eats here regularly. They have great cornmeal pizza, and wonderful salads. Great value. Try the corn pizza (yes I know it sounds weird, but very tasty).
