Minnesota’s Zorbaz Earns Spot on New York Times’ Global Pizza Favorites List

by Emma

Zorbaz, a distinctive pizza restaurant in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, has gained international recognition for its unique offerings. The New York Times recently included Zorbaz in an article titled “15 of Our Readers’ Favorite Pizza Places Around the World,” highlighting exceptional pizzerias from diverse locations such as Japan, Lithuania, Amsterdam, Australia, Rwanda, and beyond.

Published on July 5, the feature showcases the Food section staff’s favorite reader submissions, drawn from over a thousand responses. “We combed through over a thousand responses, recapping the experiences of readers’ favorite slices, nostalgic pies and of course, their version of ‘the best,'” the article states.

A notable submission from Conor Rayl of Las Vegas brought attention to Zorbaz in Minnesota Lakes Country. Rayl’s enthusiastic endorsement placed Zorbaz among the global elite. “It’s the greatest Mexican-Italian pizza joint in the world,” Rayl praised. “It is also right on the lake.”

Central to Zorbaz’s acclaim is the Lowden pizza, which features an unconventional combination of peanut butter sauce, pepperoni, and jalapeños. The New York Times article recommends this innovative pie for those dining lakeside at the iconic establishment.

The Lowden pizza, named after its creator Kenny Lowden, first appeared on Zorbaz’s menu in the late 1980s. Since then, it has become a beloved staple, contributing to the restaurant’s reputation for culinary creativity.

Zorbaz has expanded its presence, now boasting 11 locations across Minnesota. Each venue continues to celebrate the original’s spirit of blending Mexican and Italian flavors in a unique lakeside setting.
