Peculiar Pizza Please and Thank You! Zablong's is tucked into the Latta Arcade... Probably one of the most things I miss about working right off of Tryon, is coming to the arcade and all the lunch options during the day. The "inner" locations are probably very easy to miss, unless you are seeking out places.
The last time I went to Zablong, I don't remember a staircase, but that could just be me... I felt like there was another tenant upstairs that had the staircase in the center, but whatev's it's there - but don't go up. You walk in and decide on your crust style... then go down the assembly line. You can either do a signature pizza creation or customize your own. I usually do a half and half signature pizza and add on whatever I feel like. Farmhand is definitely the way to go... they also have the pizza for goat cheese lovers (which is also amazing).
Servers are really nice and make sure your pizza is just the way you want it. After the pizza is assembled, it makes its way through the oven and you get to customize it even more! Chili Flakes, Cheese, Oil, are just some of the options located on the other side of the oven.
Beers in bottles here... soda machine. They will pour your bottle into a plastic cup for ya. After you've paid, make your way "under" the stairs and into the dining area with some communal tables. They do have some outdoor tables as well. I'd imagine this place gets packed during lunch... but we were there for dinner and it was super cool sitting inside and looking at the graffiti brick wall.
