I first heard about Pie Zanos here on Yelp while searching for dining out ideas in Peoria.  I'm a big fan of the independents, and I go out of my way to check them out whenever I can.  Pie Zanos was a nice find.\nI've never been to a build your own pizza place and it took me a couple of minutes to find my groove.  The pizza servers were quick to explain the process.  I read that it's a little like a Subways except with pizza and that's a fairly accurate assessment.  I got a wheat crust pizza with tomato sauce, wing sauce, mozzarella cheese, sausage, green olives, garlic, and black pepper.  You get the picture - you can highly customize your personal pizza.  I really liked this aspect of pizza creation.  Whenever I order a large pie for the family, compromises must be made.  Here at Pie Zanos, it's all about me!\nMy daughter wasn't as adventurous and got a Pepperoni & Sausage pizza with garlic powder and pepper.  My wife got a Chicken Ranchero sandwich that looked amazing.  It was a little on the large side, so I traded a slice of my pizza for half of her sandwich.  The bread was the most remarkable part of the sandwich.  I could eat just the bread with some of the ranchero sauce and consider it a good meal.\nThere was a small line ahead of us, but the servers moved things along pretty fast.  One of the things I like about independent  establishments is how the owners are personable and go the extra mile to take care of customers.  The owner, Jayce, came out from behind the counter to personally welcome us and check on the quality of the meal.  Great meal...great dining experience.  5 Stars.
