Reviews for Zia Maria Italian Eatery & Pub in Denver, PA
Ziapreme is a perfect example of a perfect pizza. Meatball parm is fabulous and all of the appetizers are great. It?s kinda like... gourmet bar food. Bar is fun and usually has local sports on the TV, but the music is so loud you can?t hear it. Bartenders arefriendly and attentive. Takeout is great too! Read more
A total let down today! We were seated and waited 10 minutes before a party of six came in next and were promptly served before... us. And there was no lack of staff. Many of the staff passed us by and did not ask us if we wanted anything to drink, no effortwas made to give us service at all. When I complain, nobody even apologized. I walked out and I will never walk back in thereagain. Read more
Edit: Zia Maria failed a health inspection July 11th, 2022, cited for unclean and unsanitary working conditions and prep... practices. Short: The atmosphere and service were good, the drinks were passable but overpriced. The food was not good, andafter two tries we won't be back for a third. Overall price: $60, plus the frozen pizza we got on the way home. Long: We ate onthe deck, which has a great atmosphere, and we were served in reasonable time. We ordered drinks which were fine, nothing towrite home about, definitely not good enough to carry the experience. We ordered breaded Mozzarella as an app, the prime ribsandwich, the baked pasta shells, and cheese fries, the meal came with free bread. Of the food, I think the freshest food wasthe bread. The breaded Mozzarella (Mozzarella sticks), baked shells, and fries were clearly from frozen, and I'm willing toassume the prime rib meat in the sandwich wasn't fresh either. The food came out in an odd order, the app and mains came outtogether, the bread came out maybe 5 minutes into the main course The baked shells were barely sauced, covered in a hard shellof overcooked Mozzarella, and the cheese inside was gritty and dry. All signs point to frozen. The side of cheese fries wereyour average Italian restaurant out-of-the-bag fries with a hard shell of baked on shredded cheddar, tasted as appealing as theylooked, which was not very good. The sandwich was passable at best, the au jus served with it was very concentrated and thusincredibly salty, but was necessary to give the sandwich some sort of juice, otherwise it was very dry. The breaded Mozzarellawas named in a way that might make you think they aren't just your average Mozzarella sticks, but that's all they were, andagain just your average italian restaurant out of the bag sticks that everyone has. If you've had it once you've had themall. The free bread was nice, a mix of Italian bread, a flat bread, and garlic knots served with pads of butter. Read more
The chicken wings are very good, and the stuffed burger is as well.
I would have liked to sit inside but only the outside deck and bar are open due to staffing shortages. I had the Crab dip and... lobster bisque soup and both were excellent! The service was fine too. Music at the bar was loud for my age bracket. I don'tlike being called Sweetie, my name is Dorian. Read more
The service was really great. We were greeted right away, our server was prompt, very friendly and helpful in drink selection.... We were killing time until an appointment and told our server that we might have to leave quickly depending on the kitchen time.We put an order in for an appetizer. She was kind enough to bring our app to go in case we had to leave. Our drinks were reallygood, there's a great selection, we loved the outdoor seating, it was a fun atmosphere. But the food... The menu described thecrab fries we ordered as lump crab meat over fries. There were 3 small lumps. Like I'm not even kidding. The sauce was runny anddidn't have much flavor. Super disappointed.

A decent place to come for a drink and food in the Denver/Adamstown area! Their Stromboli and wraps are delicious and the drinks... are very reasonably priced. The service is always great and the outside area is fun when it?s nice outside! Read more
The service was great, the long island ice tea tasted like Coke. The food was cold and my wifes salad, the fruit was spoiling.... When I asked about the ice tea they said if I wanted the Long Island Ice Tea to taste normal I would have to buy another shot.If I ever eat there again it will be as a last resort. Read more
