    They took great care of us. We had a large group of friends and family members for a birthday party. The pizza was good but, for me, I thought the crust was too thick. Just my opinion. Overall, a great experience.

    Zao Island is great fun for the whole family. I have a spicy take on their pizza. I absolutely love their pizza. It is a little expensive, but I would place them top 3 pizza joints in Valparaiso so it is definitely worth it. The vidja games are great for the little ones, and i enjoy playing the 3D games while my children scream about it being too scary. Whenever I ask my kids what they want to do on their free days, they always recommend Zao Island, So it is kid approved. I can't argue with good pizza, dunking on my kids in some go karts, and putting a 41 on the 18 hole dragon. Lots of fun and great times.

    Excellent time. Took my son for his 7th birthday. Even though they do not take reservations there was more than enough seating and service to accommodate the amount of people for the party. The pizza was delicious even though expensive. We won my son a electric guitar for 15000 tickets in one day. So the prize rewards do reflect time spent at games. All in all. Great time :)

    Dream date night!!! We had pizza which was gluten free and perfect! Then played goofy golf, laser tag which was incredibly FUN! Go karts which was a blast then video games and after we were good and wore out we went to sit and listen to live music. This place is great for any occasion and group at any age. They also had batting cages and a child's amusement ride. My new favorite place!

    Not really much to say. About as average as pizza comes. Nothing special, it was ok. Boiling lava hot for sure, took ages to cool to an edible temp. Main dining is off the arcade with only 2 small tables near the counter so if your kids get distracted easily it's going to be a struggle. Not really much service to comment on, there's some kids behind a counter...if you need anything that's where ya go. Seemed nice enough but only interacted with them briefly to place my order. Lastly, the place is most definitely expensive.

    It was fun and pizza was great. It was early spring so attractions not available. Or so we thought. I will go again.

    It's a great place to take your kids for arcade games, food, Lazer tag and go carts. It's a bit on the pricey side but tell me a place like this that isn't. Only complaint, I wish they had more interactive arcade games instead of all the games that revolve around tickets.
