I think there are two kinds of zoom involved here, the pinch zoom crops the page, where the 'Close', 'Medium' and 'Far' selections under settings is more like a desktop browsers 'Zoom' where the page elements (text fonts and images) are resized, but then the browser tries to wrap the page to keep all the elements on screen.

I have noticed that some web sites disable pinch zooming in the browser of many Android devices entirely, where others do not.

When a site does allow pinch zooming on my Sony PRS-T1, I find that I can almost always un-zoom and go back to full page default with either a squeeze together gesture or by simply double tapping on a blank area of the screen. On the PRS-T1, you may have to repeat the double tap, because the first will cause an even larger zoom (or cause the page to reformat at the present zoom), then the second double tap is read as an un-zoom.
