“I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. It was slow so I would think that more attention would be placed on the customers that did come into this place but nope. It's kinda like a self service restaurant where the only interaction with the staff is when they bring out your food and drinks.
Why would I even tip in such a place but AI did anywho. Next time I'll just order to go . The wings were good and extra sauce to add ..it lacks a bit“

“Went here with my family to celebrate my sister's birthday. I never got his name, but the guy working at OG Zaza was incredibly generous. We got a second pizza for free and my sister got a free ice cream sundae. The pizza was amazing and the old fashioned from King Coil was delicious. If you do your research on how to order food and drinks, you will also have a pleasant experience. Will definitely return again when visiting the area!“
