Mr. Z's Pizza - Clinton

Food is always spot on great. Cooks are friendly towards the patrons and the counter help is Always very friendly and helpful. I love this place!

I have to admit, nostalgia might get the better of my 4-star rating when it comes to good old Mr. Z 's pizza. To rate Massachusetts sub shop pizza compared to what you will find in NYC, LA or Naples is a bit of a fool 's errand. It 's like picking apart a middle school play. Why bother? The sweet sauce, spongy crusted Greek-style pizzas in Massachusetts with their sheet of cheese are almost a category of pizza in amongst themselves. While it 's not by any means good pizza, if you grew up eating it in the parking lot of a high school growing up, you are going to have a soft spot in your heart (and a hard spot in your arteries) for this style of pie I didn 't grow up in Clinton but early in my career, I came to town on a project and fell in love with Mr. Z 's 'house special ' pizza. Today, the pizza tastes a bit different and costs a lot more. Mr. Z 's special contains copious amounts of shredded green peppers, onions, canned mushroom slices, pepperoni, sausage and hamburger meat. Or, at least I think that 's all in there mixed in with sauce as sweet as ketchup. I loved it back then ... this time, the water from the peppers and canned mushrooms made the pizza kind of soupy and soggy. It was tasty ... average ... and hard to eat. The double cheese pepperoni came with a layer of cheese like cement. Minutes after eating a piece, I could smell my body emitting a strange grease smell ... like when you eat lobster generously dipped into fresh melted butter. The pepperoni wasn 't that spicy and the pizza was average and unremarkable. Unlike the watery Z 's Special ... this was dry. The double cheese either soaked up the sauce or they didn 't put as much on. I had a steak bomb sub here once ... once. It was as dry as sawdust and tasted like Dyson came out with a tool to suck all the flavor out of the meat. I won 't be getting a sandwich again. If you want small town Greek pizza ... you 'll do no better, or worse, than Mr. Z 's. Not much atmosphere inside ... but the food is reliably average and the food comes out relatively fast. Stick with the pizza you know and you won 't be disappointed. Don 't expect greatness here ... but it 's not money wasted, either.

I'm a fan of this style of pizza, the crust isn't too thin or soft with a good amount of toppings. The onion rings were also good and they have awesome fresh bread for the sandwiches.

Great Food Friendly Service... Very Clean and Organized... Repeat customer for over 6 years now.

I don't know where to begin to describe how bad this pizza was. My husband did his best when he said the cheese had the texture of the dried out, leathery skin of an elderly man. So how did the pizza get to this unfortunate state? It was likely that delivery driver was waylaid by a member of the Foot clan and he had to cower while the Ninja Turtles rescued him from his fate. When we called to check on our pizza an hour after we had ordered, the very rude girl on the phone said he had already left so we just had to wait. When the driver arrived, he must have had the afore mentioned ordeal because he looked like he'd been through hell. Hopefully the sympathy tip helped him but the cold pizza and the soggy onion rings have made us rethink our life choices. Skip these guys. Their food belongs in the trash and not in your stomach. On the other hand, if you like pizza that tastes like that post-frat party pizza that's cold and probably had some random dude throw up on it... go for it.
