Established in 2010, Red Zeppelin Pizza has been giving local pizzerias a run for their money, and with good reason. The small spot is located at 4395 Perkins Road, nestled right outside the Southdowns Village shopping center. With an old-time rock ‘n’ roll vibe that’s perfect for college students and families, and featuring an excellent tap beer selection, Red Zeppelin is in the perfect position to become the Capital City pizza joint.
My eyes jumped at the sight of the “Bou-Ray,” a specialty pie covered with boudin and topped with plenty of tasso, jalapenos, onions and cheese. While local purists might balk at the suggestion, this is the best boudin pizza I’ve ever tasted. A customer could easily top off a 10-inch in no time.
The key to Zeppelin’s pizza is a thin crust that lets the toppings do the talking. The restaurant’s pizzas don’t have the “too much carbs” or “too much sauce” problems, either. All the ingredients manage to be balanced on each slice. Simply put, this place is a pizza lover’s dream.
