Azzip Pizza

Awesome service-​great staff. Incredible choices and fast pizza. Lots of different sauces to choose from at the beginning and even more sauces to put on top when it’s done.

I red the reviews on Unilocal and decided to give it a try.
There is large and small personal pizzas and salads.
It’s easy to make a custom pizza. various sauces and toppings. a good vegetarian selection. The pizza we got were very good. Could use more cheese. I am not an extra cheese kind of guy. the pizzas cook really fast. the bacon is extra crispy .the crust is softer and had a slight taste of biscut dough. the crust is not crunchy or rubbery. we had a very good experience. We will be back.

I read a few reviews before heading to Azzip and was absolutely starving. A quick walk from my office and I was in line. It was pretty empty so I was able to walk right up. Someone immediately came over and helped me. At Azzip you build a pizza: size (big is 11″, lil is 8″), sauce, meat, and veggies. A lil zip was more than enough for me (it comes to about 6 medium sized pieces) and it was only $ 7! They let you have as many veggies as you want so I got plenty of spinach and tomatoes. I waited about 5 minutes and my pizza was finished! Checkout was super quick. The pizza itself is pretty good. There wasn’t a ton of sauce but the sausage was good and the overall taste was very pleasant. Not the best pizza I’ve had but this is probably the best pizza on campus and you cannot beat that price. Hope this place sticks around.

This is great, easy pizza. Decent variety (try the different sauces!) for decent price. $ 6 8″ thin crust is plenty for me.

Good pizza made on the spot. Nice variety of ingredients, unlimited veggies. A touch on the pricey side, but worth a try if you like thin crust pizza custom-​made.

Went there when it first opened. Friendly staff. Good idea about the pizza, poor execution.
My friend and I both got too much sauce on our pizza that it overwhelmed a multitude of toppings. I paid $ 8 to eat tomato paste. I’ve had other friends report the same thing about getting too much sauce. Perhaps we all got the wrong pizza makers, but it’s enough to discourage me from going back.

Restaurant review
Although Champaign does not have a Blazed or Pie Guys, Azzip comes a close second. It is a chiptole version of thin crust pizza. You step right up and select the size of your pizza and the associated sauce. I went with the italian red which was a bit under powered in spice/​flavor. You get to chose one meat and each additional one for 1 dollar, finally you get unlimited veggies. I found that the selection was quite limited with spinach, sundried tomatoes, baby portobellos (however they are so finely sliced), and green peppers. Avoid the chopped garlic and onions at all cost as the oven does not cook them well enough and they end up tasting raw. Overall I actually was impressed with the thin crust even though it lacked the crunchiness and smokey flavors you get when cooked over a brick oven. For a quick meal inexpensive meal you can’t go wrong with Azzip pizza.
Pros: Inexpensive, quick, customizable pizza
Cons: Lack luster sauce, not cooked in a brick oven, very thinly cut veggie ingredients

I really enjoyed the pizza and the guy who makes the pizza is really polite and respectful. He is always cheerful and smile at the customers. You do not see that often in many restaurants here. I hope you all enjoy the food.

Went in at 6 pm on a Thursday and not many people there. You can get a bunch of toppings for a flat price, and the pizza cooks as fast as advertised. Tasted very fresh to me with quality ingredients. Smaller pizza and fountain soda was under $ 9. Might not be enough food for someone used to eating a whole pizza in one sitting from a chain place but then that itself is just no way to live. About 45 minutes after I left I could still smell a nice pizza smell on the outside of my drink cup.

It’s pretty good! Would go back!

I called last Wednesday, to make an order for pickup. The man on the phone informed me that their pizzas take a mere 2 minutes and 20 seconds to cook & that I would be much better off coming in to order it so it would be fresh. «How precise!» I initially thought which changed to the realization, that they might be making their pizza in a microwave! When I walked in, the smell reminded me of subway which made me a little anxious about my decision to try this place. I went with ranch sauce and chicken. I like that they list the farms that provide their meat. That’s a nice touch if you care about where your meat is sourced. When you walk up to the counter, you basically find yourself at a sandwich line but instead of loaves of bread, there are two sizes of pizzas. I saw a girl busily rolling out crust so that’s a good sign that it’s made fresh in store and there’s also a real oven. When the woman at the line started assembling my pizza, it soon became painfully obvious that it was probably her first job ever in food service. She was soooooo sloooow and needed instruction from some of her more seasoned coworkers. I went down to the cash register to pay. The employees there also didn’t seem to have much experience ever working jobs. The girl on the register didn’t really know how to use it and she busily chatted with the girl who boxes and serves the pizza. What felt like way more than 2 minutes and 20 seconds later, I finally was walking down the street with my pizza. In the end the pizza was definitely bursting with flavor but Azzip Pizza is just another fast casual chain and I’m not sure it’s worth going out of my way for it. There are only two sizes and they’re both pretty small and designed for one person so don’t expect to come here with a large group of friends to socialize or anything.

My new favorite place ever. Great as a snack to share or a meal. So healthy too!!! I love the option of endless veggies. This is the best thing ever. The service is friendly too.

Azzip is an assembly line-​style, customizable pizza place. I had no interest in coming here until I found out that they make VEGAN PIZZA FOR THE SAME PRICE AS NON-​VEGAN PIZZA. Do you even understand how rare that is in these backwoods? You don’t even understand (unless you’re vegan): vegan drunk/​junk food in this town is limited to garlic breadsticks and water (Yeah, that’s right. Fries aren’t always vegan. Not at McDonald’s, anyway). There is no stumbling to a kiosk down the block for vegan cheese-​laden heart-​attack-​on-​a-​stick like we’re in NYC. We are not in NYC, son.
True, it’d be cool if vegan pizza cost less than non-​vegan pizza considering the fact that vegan pizza doesn’t require the cost of raising ACTUAL ANIMALS, but that’s the USDA for you. I’m just happy that it doesn’t cost MORE than non-​vegan pizza like other vegan specialty foods do.
When I found out about the vegan options here, I blew my phone the fuck up texting people who might be interested. I had to go try it. The food looked amazing in the Unilocal photos.
All right. The pizza did not taste as good as what the photos looked like. It was not tasty, period.
The sauce was weak and not flavorful. The dough– the base, the mother of the pizza– was not good. It tasted like how play-​doh smells, you know what I mean? It had the consistency of play-​doh as well. I wanted to run away when I saw that they had pre-​rolled a sad, flat looking piece of dough out, but I stayed to give it a chance. I only like thin crust pizza but this wasn’t a crust at all. It was just unyummmy, undercooked flatbread. Good pizza should have everything on point from the bottom up.
There was no artistry in the ingredients either. At Chipotle, they have creative, proprietary blends of even their most basic ingredients. Azzip was nearly grocery store-​to-​pizza level of involvement. The sauces, the toppings, the spices were just meager and uninteresting.
The vegan chicken was also really bad… I’ve tried a lot of meat alternatives and have made my own seitan, so I can tell you that this chicken was subpar. It tasted like cleaning chemicals. The consistency was good though.
The good part of the pizza was that the vegan cheese was fantastic. Daiya is known for making great melting cheeses, and they delivered. This has nothing to do with Azzip’s performance, but at least they carry it.
All in all, I would come back only because they can make vegan pizza. Not because their pizzas are made well. I added another star for this. Otherwise, Azzip would definitely be a two-​star place. The food is not worth the cost, considering how basic and untasty it is.

They now offer vegan cheese and vegan chicken! And it’s the same price as non vegan. I’m not a vegan but a friend had it and said it’s awesome.

Azzip Pizza was running a promotion on Hooked last week for 50% off pizzas. I was pretty hungry after class that day so I decided to give it a try.
The line was nearly out of the door and it wasn’t even 5pm yet, but seemed to be moving so I figured I’d wait it out.
I got to the front of the line and tried my best to recite a very specific order. I had a big zip which was half just red sauce and sausage, the other half was a chicken pesto with literally every topping.
Since I had two different meats, there was an upcharge and my 11″ pie still only came out to about $ 5.50, which was a pretty good deal, I’d say.
My more «traditional» red sauce and sausage half of the pizza wasn’t bad. I thought it needed a little more sauce, and the sausage wasn’t anything special but still alright. I feel like coming from the suburbs/​Chicago my pizza standards may be a little high in general.
The other «everything» half was better, I’d say. The pesto sauce was pretty good and most of the toppings tasted fresh. The chicken was kind of buried but it seemed to be tender and blend well with the other toppings.
Overall it was great for $ 5.50 and definitely a unique concept as far as the build-​your-​own pizza goes, but I think I’d prefer a more traditional style pizza place if I had to pay full price at Azzip.

I love their pizza! Tried for the first time today, and fell in love with it right away :) The pizza dough is thin and crispy, just how I like it. The pesto and garlic sauces were extremely flavorful. I have to say this is probably one of the best pizzas I have ever had!

This place was great! It just opened up on green street a little over a month ago.
The pizza I had made was great it has barbecue sauce and pulled pork and topped with crushed up barbecued chips and drizzled with sweet soda syrup which I thought was strange but it was quite good!
Very reasonable price too, $ 7 for the small which was more than enough for one sitting for me.
Would definitely recommend

It’s pretty much a chipotle place that makes pizza. Was walking down green looking for a place to eat and noticed this new restaurant, so decided to try it out. I’ve been to Pie Five back in the chicago suburbs, so this is pretty much the same thing. You get to pick your own toppings and they make your pizza in front of you. Pretty neat, and it does only take about 5 – 6 minutes for it to cook.
I ended up making a buffalo ranch chicken pizza while the wife made a pesto chicken one. They were pretty good, and wasn’t overly priced. Though I remember being a college kid and a penny pincher, and if I were still a broke and in school I don’t see my self coming back here too often with some other cheaper choices around. Though give it a try, it wasn’t too bad.

Their pizza is very average and incredibly expensive. The toppings looked questionable as well. I was disappointed. It’s like chipotle but for pizza. I actually enjoy chipotle and am willing to spend the money though because it’s more filling. I wish they would offer more specials or have a more expansive menu. I’m not a huge fan of this style of pizza service anyways so if this is your thing don’t listen to me.

I first had Azzip Pizza when I was passing by one day and they were offering samples. It was pretty good so I decided to go back and give it a real try!
This fast casual eatery was pretty quiet and I was impressed by how clean the restaurant was. (I hope that when this place becomes more busy, they keep up with the cleanliness!)
I ordered a «big zip» and my friend ordered a «little zip». The staff makes the pizza in front of you and adds as much or as little of specific ingredients as you’d like. They are very friendly and will add as many veggies as you want with no extra charge!
The big zip was easily enough food for two girls and costed only $ 7.50 before tax (with no meat added). The staff was VERY friendly and seemed to be excited about having customers come in.
The pizza was pretty good, typical thin crust pizza. As a veggie fan, I really enjoyed the limitless veggies on my pizza! It only took a few minutes to make, which was awesome. My only 2 complaints– the cheese wasn’t completely melted. It could’ve probably used another minute in the oven. Second, I was disappointed that there was no option for whole wheat crust.
Regardless, I was very pleased with the atmosphere, service, and food. I will definitely be back and would recommend you try it too!
