Cbs13.com reports the passing of Zelda’s Original Gourmet Pizza owner Zelda Breslin.
Friends remember she ran a tight ship, riding herd on restless customers waiting in line, discouraging patrons from lingering after meals and insisting on cash-only payments.
Wow, I had no idea. I have only been a handful of times and have enjoyed the pie. I’ve never had the opportunity to experience Zelda herself, however. How disappointing. I’d love to hear from you down/mid townies on your experiences there and with Zelda.
Any way you slice it (waa waa waa), she’s a part of Sacramento history and deserves recognition on this here web log.

Zelda was a good woman. We shared the same hair dresser for years, Robert Brown. I always lovd her, she would always bring Pie to her appointments w/ robert…we all shared the slices of Joy!! I saw her 3 weeks ago, she was very tired. I am sure she is making pizza for Jesus as we speak!!

Little known fact: Zelda was also the owner and landlord of the “oh-so-cute” cottages on H St. and 35. They’re the white adobe jobs with tile roofs that sit down the street from the park. It’s quite the idyllic environment right in the heart of E. Sac.

Zelda was a walking, talking, hard-working, living, breathing classic. I was with a group that was told to mosey along and did so with no hard feelings. A place that tiny needs a stage manager. I always appreciated the way she treated everyone the same way and never moved or expanded.
