Reviews for Za Arlington in Arlington, MA
(Picture taken of leftovers at home, 2 days later). I?m a pizza go-er, so I was excited to try a fun, new pizza location in the... Arlington area! Service was family-like. It was small and generally quiet. Fairly responsive and attentive staff. I appreciatethe unique pizza recipes, so we tried the chorizo pickle with mustard and a classic buffalo chicken. The buffalo chicken wasslightly disappointing in my opinion, as it didn?t have much of a spicy kick and didn?t represent a typical buffalo chickenpizza- though I do appreciate the addition of green onion. It was quite refreshing. Chorizo pickle with mustard was unique andthe flavors all complimented each other fairly well. I would have preferred more spice overall, but it didn?t take too muchaway from the experience. Crust was pan style and generally pretty thin, but had a decent flavor and texture. Worth a try ifyou get a specialty pizza, but I don?t think I would frequent this location due to price and overall quality. Read more
This is somewhat of an upscale pizza restaurant. Lots of interesting ingredients and toppings. I got the corn and bacon pizza.... Good salads. I got an arugala and watermelon salad w pine nuts, cheese, and croutons. Nice drink selection. Overall, it'senjoyable. The pizza itself is good. The crust is more close and crunchy than light and chewy. It's closer to a biscuit doughthan the traditional, yeasty, chewy New York style dough. I'm not saying that's bad, really. I definitely liked it. But that'show it is. And there are a lot of odd cheese choices that for me, personally are not my favorite. Cheddar? No. Gorgonzola? No.Anyway... you can just ask for mozzarella only if that's your preference. And there's all sorts of other interesting, yummytoppings that you don't see in your average pizza joint. The staff is pleasant and the outdoor seating is appreciated. Check outthe menu... if you think you'll like it... you probably will. Read more
Went to this pizza place with our family. I already knew that one of the servers was not that kind, from previous experiences,... but tonight it turned ugly. In short: I asked if they serve bread, pasta, or anything else. The server answered as he waswalking away from me and with his back half-turned at me: ?No! We only serve pizza and salad! nothing else!? So the first thingis that the menu is very limited. Which wouldn?t be a big issue in itself if the next thing wouldn?t have happened, but itdid. I needed bread or pasta for my 4 year old who is a picky eater. We lived next door so we knew the area. So I stood up andwent and bought some pretzels for my child to eat, from the convenience store next door. Upon re-entering the restaurant, thesame server who is apparently the manager stopped me in my tracks to say: ?Mam, we don?t allow outside products in therestaurant ?, I explained it?s for my 4 year old who needs to eat something and that they don?t serve anything he eats, noChildren?s menu, nothing. The answer was a firm: ?no outside products in the restaurant, we serve what we serve and that isthat.? So we put our pizza?s, which were already on the table, in boxes, paid, and left. How outrageous is this experience? In2022 to have NO accommodation whatsoever for children? No need to say that we?ll never return! So if you are a family withsmall children, don?t bother. And to the management of this establishment: SHAME ON YOU! To make a scene about a bag ofpretzels, for a child, in the middle of the restaurant!!! Read more
Sweet spot in Arlington to pick up a good, simple, and affordable meal. The place is immaculate and the staff are warm and... welcoming to all. Food was perfect. We were extremely pleased and recommended this restaurant. Read more
Za is always a win. They have the best crumbly and buttery deep dish crust, the staff is wonderful, and the toppings are good... quality, all for the same price as most other pizza places! Although the pizzas are a little smaller than other pizza places,since the crust is denser and they pack more toppings it's just as filling as any other place, but tastes better! I highlyrecommend, you can never go wrong with Za from either location. Read more
That was some awesome food! The Pizza was in point. You actually feel light eating them. So was the Salads. Which were quite... simple and elegant and tasteful. The service was wonderful as well! The 10 inch Pizza would be perfect for an individual and youcan of course split a salad as the cherry on top. Highly recommend. Read more
Good pizza and salad spot right along Mass ave in Arlington. This is more of a take out/kid friendly local pizza place kind of... vibe but they do have sit down dining and table service (some outdoor seating too) along with serving beer and wine (2 beers ondraft). The service was nice and the food was good with many salads and pizza options to choose from. I would also say that thisis a very affordable place. Overall our group had a good time and I?d recommend here. Read more
It?s simply divine. The fig pizza was heavenly, it?s sweet and savoury - an amazing combo. Everything is great. Don?t miss the... salad too. Oh, and they are super friendly and helpful too. Read more
