Reviews for Alza Osteria in Brea, CA
Do not order pizza from this place! I have had good food here years ago, but friends have told me they stay away now. I just... ordered pizza for carry out because I wanted something quick and good. The pizza was horrible. It tasted like frozen pizza. Thecrust had no flavor and was dry and tough. The rest had minimal flavor. I can't imagine how you could make pizza from scratchthat came out this bad! It was also very expensive - over $29 for a 16" pizza with 2 toppings! It was more than the menu showed,so the cashier said they had recently raised their prices even more. Extremely disappointing. Most of it went uneaten. Read more
This place is absolutely fantastic! This was our second time at this restaurant and the same service and food quality was... superb! Our beautiful waitress/ bartender was super nice, attentive and made sure out orders were good to go! I definitelyrecommend this establishment for a dinner date, gathering or a pizza fix after a long day! Read more
Service and food were great on a Friday lunch. Eggplant parmesan was super tasty and warm, and a nice side salad. Left Alza... Osteria feeling satisfied and eager to come back again. Read more
We dined in for lunch on a Sunday, and it was not crowded at all. We had the minestrone soup, and it was very good. Also... ordered "The Works" pizza, it had a ton of ingredients on it, including big chunks of sausage. Lots of esoteric beer and wineselections to choose from. Read more

Always liked coming to this restaurant when I was a kid when it was called Grazio's. It's still great now. Our server was Angel... ???? We were very impressed at how polite and helpful he was. My mom really appreciated it! My mom had the salmon with zucchininoodles, my bf had the Pescatore, and I had the linguini with clams - favorite since childhood. I know the owners and chefs aredifferent, but the food is still delicious and the restaurant is still a delight! And prices are very reasonable.. If everyou're in the area, definitely stop by. The restaurant is on a quiet corner of a mostly residential area, but it's crowded onsome nights. So call ahead for reservations. You won't be sorry. Read more
