Zest Pizza Berceni brings a breath of fresh air to an area where good options are pretty limited. Their pizza stands out thanks to a dough that’s made with care — airy, slightly chewy, the result of long fermentation and high hydration. It’s not the heavy, overloaded kind of pizza, but one where the flavor of the crust actually matters. The pasta is surprisingly good too — well-balanced sauces and just the right textures.

It’s a small place, but with a warm, welcoming vibe — the kind of spot where you feel like a guest, not just a customer. The menu isn’t big, but it’s well thought out, and the pace of the place makes you want to sit and stay, not just grab and go. Zest Berceni pulls off something rare: it keeps things simple, and makes them genuinely good.
