We've tried a few different items from Zambetti's and we've enjoyed the food - wraps, salads, soups, the pizzas, cookies. Everything seems fresh and of good quality, and it's all been tasty. However, I have a few issues with the place, too.
The packaging on most of their prepared foods lists the ingredients (the cookies and muffins being noted exceptions), but not the nutritional content. That's a problem when its whole basis is low carb / diet friendly / healthy eating. Having spent plenty of time browsing health food stores like Back to Earth and A Matter of Health has also made me even more skeptical regarding some of Zambetti's nutritional claims, like the 130 calorie pizza. I've yet to see anything like that anywhere else, and I don't believe it's because Zambetti's discovered some low calorie miracle food.
Product availability is an issue, too. I stop in there on occasion to pick up some of their cookies - mysterious, unlabeled, but really good. Lately it's one or two baskets out of the less popular flavors, it seems, and no one knows for sure when the other varieties will be available. "We make one or two things per day, as we need them" was the answer I got once. Well, you're out. You need them. "We should have them Monday afternoon, maybe Tuesday" was the answer another time, until I stopped in on Tuesday. Then the answer became "maybe next week". Meanwhile, with all the secrecy surrounding the product, it's not even really a "Zambetti's" product. The closely guarded secret isn't a proprietary recipe, it's where they purchase the batter from. And the nutritional content, of course.
It's disappointing because I feel like their food is high quality, tasty and probably healthy, but I don't like the secrecy, being led...
Read moreFood products are decent but they don’t label carbs or sugar content on the actual items. They write it on a friggin sign on the shelf so you have to go and hunt for carb content on each item. If you’re a diabetic you know how important having carb and sugar content on the food item is because you can’t memorize all foods. Really stupid decision on their part .. it’s like you ask them how many carbs in the pizza and someone tells you and points to a sign like you have to take their word for it. Stupid. Stop being lazy and...
Read moreWe went here for the first time a month or two ago and enjoyed it. Was a recommendation from a number of people. It is definitely a mom/pop type of deli, where you order your food, sit down and they bring it to you. The twist here is that its all low in carbs. Food was pretty good, large salads were large-ish. I wouldn't say I was filled up to capacity, but its a nice salad and not overly expensive. Would say that it fills the desire for a good, somewhat healthy quick...
