About Zi Teresa

Zi Teresa delivers unpretentious, thin-crust Italian pizza straight from an owner-run kitchen that ignores modern trends. Long-time regulars pack the modest dining room—furnished with retro tables and chairs from the 1980s—for honest portions, bubbly garlic bread, and piping hot pies crafted right in front of you. Angelo runs the counter with spirited hospitality, remembering orders and tailoring chilli levels to your liking. Note that it is strictly cash-only, whether you grab a table inside or carry a takeaway box over to the park.

  • Hands-on owner kitchen: Pies are built and baked personally by the owner-operator in plain view of guests.
  • Classic trattoria setup: Modest dining room outfitted with original, retro 1980s furniture and zero modern fuss.
  • Cash-only policy: Transactions remain strictly cash-only for both dining in and pickup.
