ZA Reviews
Went for a lupper date with my husband on the referral of a friend. Had the Natalie house drink which was well balanced and bright for us gin lovers. Enjoyed thier spin on Poutine with a tater tots base. Lots of goo goodness with bacon and sausage. Sausage pizza with Vodka sauce had real Greek olives and was delicious. Will be back again!
The bestest, yummiest NY style made from scratch pizza I've had in a very long time! I love ZA and their 5 star staff!
the mushroom pizza is amazing

ZA is a restaurant known for its exceptional pizza and friendly atmosphere. Many customers praise the pizza, with some calling it the best they've had in Maine and highlighting particular favorites like the mushroom pizza with truffle. The pizzas are described as thin but rich, with a thick, chewy crust that adds to their appeal. The food consistently impresses, to the point where diners often find themselves sharing and devouring multiple dishes, including pepperoni pizza, macaroni and cheese, and BLT sandwiches.
The service at ZA receives mixed reviews. While many mention the staff as wonderful, friendly, and professional, some note moments of slow or confusing service, especially during pickup orders. Despite this, staff are generally described as smiling, pleasant, and accommodating, with a few reviews mentioning special touches like learning a song on the synth or making a heart-shaped pizza with “Just Married” in pepperoni, which added a personal touch to celebrations.
ZA also excels in hosting events, having made a wedding reception memorable with a fun pizza bar and excellent food, leaving guests raving about the experience. Easy parking and the convenience of online ordering are additional positives. Overall, ZA is celebrated for its delicious pizza, great people, and ability to make any occasion special.
