Nestled in the heart of Regent Park, Café ZUZU Pizzeria is the neighbourhood spot where everyone feels like famiglia. By day, ZUZU hums with coffee, conversation, and the smell of fresh-baked pan pizza. By night, our dining room transforms – 16” pies, Nonna-style cooking that doesn’t hold back on the sauce, flowing wine, and that signature warmth only Nonna can teach.
Café ZUZU Pizzeria is open Wednesday-Friday 4-10pm, and Saturday-Sunday 11am-10pm.
