Pizza joints that allow diners to customize their pies are offering their guests more than just convenience. They’re giving visitors the chance to put together their own perfect pizzas.

If you’re aiming to construct one of these signature creations, look no further than Za’s Brick Oven Pizza, on Devine Street in Columbia.

At Za’s, you can build your pizza from the ground up, starting with the sauce, which doesn’t have to be the traditional tomato-based variety. Try something new and unusual, such as barbecue, basil pesto, honey and more.

Then it’s time to choose your cheese, whether it’s blue, goat, feta, good old-fashioned mozzarella, or fromage of an entirely different feather.

Toppings at Za’s range from traditional meats to some not-so-conventional ones, such as teriyaki chicken and andouille sausage. You can also opt for seafood, and not just anchovies. Try the smoked salmon or blackened shrimp. And if you want a healthful pie, pick among the peppers, Mandarin oranges, broccoli and many other fruit-and-vegetable options.

Of course, you may not feel like building a pie, and that’s fine! Za’s has plenty of its own tasty specialty pizzas on the menu. And if you’re not even craving pizza, try Za’s pastas, calzones, salads, soups, wraps, clubs and more. Or grab one of the restaurant’s take-n-bake pizzas and make it yourself.

Whatever you’re hungry for, Za’s can dish it up.
