Zander's Woodfired Pizza

My husband and myself met up with our kids and my mother for dinner at Zander’s. We all ordered different pizzas and salads. Wow! Can you say Yum! Will recommend Zander’s to all of our friends and family.

Good pizza and good staff. I didn't care much for the calzone, it wasn't anything wrong with it, just personal preference. But you can't go wrong with a pizza!

I think this may be the best restaurant in Dixon. Good pizza, friendly service, and very tempting desserts!

We came here after striking out with a restaurant nearby... we were hungry, it was late, and we weren't expecting much. We didn't even want pizza, to be honest. But we sat down and ordered because we knew this was our best bet for the hour.

If you order a large pizza, they will let you do half and half toppings... so that's exactly what we did. Half was Zander's special (basically their meat lovers, with four different kinds of meat) and the other half was their margherita (just mozzarella, tomato, and basil). Pizza came out very fast and we started munching away. The pizza is actually wood-fired, and they do it very well--the crust was excellent! The toppings were of good quality and fresh (they actually used real mozzarella and not the fake plastic shreds!) and their marinara sauce was clearly homemade and delicious. My only wish was that they put a little more basil on top.

We were also tempted by their dessert menu and ended up getting the cheesecake. It was surprisingly good (I think our server told us they make it in-house too) and we enjoyed it very much. Although we were told that the caramel was homemade, too, I didn't think it tasted any different from store-bought caramel syrup. The chocolate syrup is straight up just from a Hershey's bottle... but hey, that didn't stop us from eating it.

The best place for pizza. Always excellent with excellent service. Love the atmosphere. I recommend this place above the others plus it's a locally owned. Can't beat that!

Service and food was great. Had a 3year old and a 5year old with us and they gave them pizza dough to occupy them until our food came. Great idea!
