    Food: I'll start by saying I am by no means a Philly cheese steak connoisseur, but Ive had a handful in my time. But their "standard" Philly cheese steak is hands down the best Philly I've ever had. The meat was so flavorful and not dry in the slightest, it was topped with juicy fried mushrooms and onions and real melted American cheese.(bread was great too) it was just so unbelievably good, so much so that I might stop again before leaving the keys. The menu said the $5 fry is "HUGE" they are not kidding, it is WAY more than enough for 2 people They had beer, canned soda, and fountain drinks Service: The whole crew was great, from taking our order, to the cooks to the servers everyone was overly friendly and courteous. The crew worked very well together in a very small kitchen, and it seemed that all the workers were happy to be there and had great chemistry with each other which i don't believe you see very often. I rarely rarely RARELY write reviews, and if so its really only if a place is really good or really bad and this is one of the greats

    The true bastion of Key West drunk comfort food. If there is a lighthouse to lead the drunken masses to the safety of slowing down the poison--this is it. The pepperoni pizza is magic. The right amount of crispy, notes of carbon, and greasy pepperoni. I am not sure you could ever exactly duplicate the magic. They are open insanely late and there is always a line. It's worth the wait for the drunken slice lifeline.

    The hours state open to 4am. I called the number and there is no answer. I’ve called multiple times. I can’t say what the food taste like. I was very interested to order. If they are not open, I feel the hours need to be updated on their page to reflect current hours of operation.

    Best thin crust I've ever had. High gluten flour makes the flavor really pop without feeling too heavy. Their golden rule: make a pizza they would want to eat. And they deliver!

    The pizza was really good and filling. It also came out quick. It's a small place and filled up while we were eating. Staff seemed nice and one of the customers said their Italian sub was good. Someone also ordered a cheesesteak that looked good. Might have to come back to try the subs.

    Philly cheesesteak hands down best in south Florida. It’s the perfect combination or gooey cheese and steak. You have not been out drinking in Key West if you haven’t ended your night after midnight with a Mr. Z’s cheesesteak and some awesome pizza. The pizza is nice and thin with just the perfect amount of chew to the dough to sop up all that alcohol before bed 😜. 100% hit them up at the end of the night, you’ll thank me that night and in the morning.

    Best cheesesteak ever, no kidding, their white American cheese sauce is it. Pizza is also fantastic, perfect slice with slightly crispy pepperoni and very flavorful dough. I also tried the classic Italian Stromboli and it did not disappoint. Keep up the good work, great spot

    The smell of the food was very good, but i find the pizza not that good its hard to bite and some of my pizza was burnt. and i recommend coming here although the pepperoni pizza wasn't really good but the Philly cheesesteak looks amazing if i come back ile order one. Service and Atmosphere is good

    Best Philly cheesesteak of my life! This place is a pregnant woman’s dream. Friendly and fast service too! If you’re in key west, do yourself a favor and stop by!

  • 5/5 Jason g. 9 months ago on Google
    Best Philly cheese steak ever. Stromboli is outstanding, however it will take a minute. We'll worth it. I see some bad reviews on customer service and wrong orders. The cooks deal with drunk a holes on the regular, I saw a bunch and I was only in key west for three days. Be courteous and know what you want, you will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Henry K. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place, great slice. Staff are funny and friendly even if they don't seem it. Love the vibe, great pizza but that cheese steak rocks. To go orders are great since it's small but nice to sit outside and share a basket of fries. Everything these guys do is awesome. Don't let the small place fool you, great food.

    Cheese steak is awesome! The cheese dip is so tasty that you can’t get enough! Great place and the location. Good prices as well.

  • 5/5 Jim D. 9 months ago on Google
    The best pizza I had in a long time while on the island, NY style thin crust with great ingredients, I almost ate the whole pie by myself lol. My wife had an Italian sub which she enjoyed.

  • 4/5 Jordan B. 9 months ago on Google
    Came here because this was one of the only spots Dave reviewed from Barstool. This pizza was really good though, just super thin and not worth the price I paid for it. It’s definitely a great spot to go if you’re halfway to black out and craving a pizza. At that point you really don’t care how much you spend and this place is open really late, so then it’s worth it. The staff was pretty cool, it’s a really small shop so not alot of room in there. Doesn’t matter though because you can one hand a pizza slice while you drink your beverage of choice. 4 for the pizza, 3 for the value, 5 for the vibe. You get a 4. 4 1/2 if I could

    Wow! Someone at the hotel told my hubby that this place had the best Italian sandwiches and he was sold. Me not so much! I’m in Key West from Ks! A sandwich was not my first choice. But boy was I happily surprised! The cook suggested the Cheesesteak sandwich with their fresh made white American cheese. It was amazing! And HUGE!! It literally took up 2 plates! So did hubby’s Italian. He agreed it was the best he ever had. We also shared an order of fries that also came out on 2 plates. Very good & reasonably priced for all the delicious food we got!

    Best cheese steak in the whole continental US, fresh made to order and great value for money. I had to wait 5 years to come back here and it was worth the wait, the flavour and quality haven't changed a bit still freaken amazing.

  • 5/5 Dawn S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing veggie pizza. The guys are great. I just loved the banter between them. Definitely a must have whenever I come down here.

  • 5/5 Mike R. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down the absolute best Cheesesteak in Key West!! Everything looked amazing and people lined up to get this amazing food! The people that work there were very friendly! Wish I could give this place 10 stars!!

  • 5/5 Heather B. 1 year ago on Google
    We were staying at the Pegasus and found this spot. The pizza, stromboli, and cheese fries were delicious. Don’t forget to ask for marinara sauce for your stromboli.

    We arrived late for our check in and were hanging out at the Green Parrot trying to figure out our next step. We were hungry and the bartender recommended Mr. Z. He said they would even deliver. This pizza was the best I have ever had and arrived quicker than expected! It was so big it fed my husband and I for 2 days and we even shared a few slices at the bar!

    Husband and I stopped in for lunch and had the best experience! We haven't enjoyed a meal in Key West until we came here. We were genuinely greeted by Isiah and he engaged in friendly conversation. We received our lunch and it was hot and fresh! We ordered their cheese steak and pizza and the pizza was outstanding! Isiah continued to check on our experience and invited us back! We live 30 minutes away and will be coming all the time now! Thank you Mr. Z's for a great experience!

    On vacation to Key West on 7/30/2022 and we were walking down Duval and the amazing smell of pizza was blowing down the road as we walked by this area. Had to follow it as we were pretty hungry by this point. Found Mr. Z's. Ordered our pizza and was amazed how much it all came out to be with drinks. Everything priced decent. Pizza Quality was amazing. Thin crest dough, light tomato sauce and perfect toppings. Quality was perfect. Highly recommended.

    The day time staff were so fun and helpful! So happy to eat the food and enjoy the company of the people who work hard here! :) the Philly steak was BOMB! Don’t forget to check out Mr. Z’s

  • 5/5 Jake H. 2 years ago on Google
    Huge cheesesteaks and subs. Fast and super friendly service! Great lunch stop

  • 5/5 Casey M. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely an interesting late night stop. My buddy came out with two pizza pies and said " oh you want pizza too" and ran back in to get my wife and I a slice each of pizza. Meanwhile he had just gotten married the day before and his wife was bombed hurling around the corner. During this time period I walked in and to grab a water and it was like a crazy Disco inside I've never seen dudes vibing so hard making pizzas. I will definitely be coming back here for another interesting night.

  • 5/5 Cassie Largey C. 2 years ago on Google
    We walked by several times and finally made a stop before leaving Key West and glad we did! Extremely fast service... sandwich was done in 2 minutes. My husband said this was in the top 3 steak and cheese sandwiches he's ever had!

  • 5/5 James S. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped in for a slice Togo. Got a pepperoni slice. This FRICKIN pizza was the BEST I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME...thin crispy crust with loads of cheese and pepperoni...check out the picture. $4 for pepperoni...$3 for cheese
