Steps from the Belmont Park roller coaster at 728 Ventura Pl, Suite C in the 92109, ZoZo's Pizza Mission Beach is a women-owned Italian pizza restaurant that has been slinging giant New York-style slices since 2008. Current owner Cameron, who took over the shop in November 2023, represents the newest chapter in a San Diego pizza family with nearly fifty years in the business and four restaurant locations to their name. The dough is made fresh every morning using reverse-osmosis water to keep the flavor clean and natural, and the kitchen never uses frozen dough. ZoZo's sources what it calls the best cheese money can buy and tops pies with Ezzo pepperoni, a craft cured meat prized by pizzerias nationwide. The menu stretches well beyond slices—calzones, meatball subs on toasted Italian rolls, Caesar salads, buffalo wings glazed in house sauces, and desserts like cannoli and tiramisu round out the offerings. Gluten-free crusts give celiac-conscious diners an option that reviewers call some of the best GF pizza they have tasted. Beachgoers who need cold drinks and sunscreen before heading to the sand can stop at CVS Pharmacy on nearby Mission Blvd. With up to twenty varieties of whole pies and slices in the case at any given time, the shop keeps both walk-up beachgoers and sit-down families satisfied. Cameron has earned consistent praise in reviews for his hands-on customer service and genuine enthusiasm for the craft. Outdoor picnic tables seat about a dozen guests, and the indoor counter area keeps the vibe casual and quick. The restaurant identifies as LGBTQ+ friendly and offers no-contact delivery through multiple platforms. Those craving a different slice style can compare notes with the Detroit-style squares at Sauced Pizzeria farther up the coast. ZoZo's is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., making it an easy post-surf lunch or a laid-back dinner after a sunset ride on the Giant Dipper.
