We live nearby and wanted to try this place after we saw the positive YELP reviews. Once again, YELP for the win!! We started with the Arancini, a deep-fried ball of rice, pesto and mozzarella; rolled in bread crumbs. Never had anything like it before. It's amazing. Their tomato sauce is so fresh and salted perfectly. For your entrees, you "build your own"....choose your pasta, the sauce and the protein.My wife had the penne pasta, tomato sauce and meatballs. Very good. I chose the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce. Excellent. The bread is also terrific. Prices are fair. Service very attentive. It is a very minimalist dining room, boardering on spartan, but who cares, you can't eat ambience. We will definitely be back. Want to try their margherita pizza. Also saw another diner's entree of pasta with pesto sauce. This place lived up to its stellar YELP score!! read more

Pastaza in Trophy Club keeps things simple, and that choice pays off. The menu sticks to Italian basics. Nothing feels padded or overworked. What lands on the table tastes careful and confident, like a kitchen that knows when to stop. Sauces feel balanced. Pasta comes out cooked right, not rushed and not tired. Portions make sense. The dining room is clean every time I visit. That sounds minor, but it sets the tone. You trust the food before the first bite. Even the cheese pizza makes the case for the place. It looks plain. Then you taste it. The crust has structure without going stiff. The cheese melts evenly and carries real flavor, not just salt. It is the kind of pizza you keep eating without thinking about it, then notice the plate is empty. Pastaza does not chase trends. It focuses on doing familiar food well. That guardrail is likely why it works. read more

First time here and I'm impressed. Seems like a family run operation since they really care. The service was excellent. Andi was quick to answer any questions. He also made very good recommendations. I got the cheese ravioli with the roasted pepper sauce . Plus some meat balls. The food was great. The potions were fair. I will be coming back for sure . Great food ! read more

Pastaza, Olive it so much(get it because olives are in Italian food lol). The pasta was good, and Giuseppe in the kitchen was saucy. Wouldn't be surprised if remy was back there, so let's make sure not to call the health inspector. Enjoyed the straws as well they were kind of silly; 5 stars. read more

Pastaza - Pastaza Pasta - Pizza Near Me - Trophy Club, Texas

We love Pastaza. In fact, we probably eat here WAY too much. This is one of the few places that I've actually tried everything on the menu, and I actually mean that. Every single item is truly excellent. Everything is hand made, and you can really tell as the quality of the food is something out of a fine dining restaurant. Our personal favorite item is the Margherita pizza as well as the arancini rice balls. The pizza is delicious, and the arancini are the best in the area. Their pastas are completely customizable and they're all really really good. You really can't go wrong here. I've never actually eaten in the restaurant, we've always done takeout - we live about 25 minutes away and the food is still hot and delicious by the time we get home. You really must put Pastaza on your list of places to regularly eat at. You won't be disappointed. read more

Love this place. Excellent pizza, pasta and other homemade Italian food. Cooked as you order and the cheesecake might be some of the best I've ever had. read more

Such a fun find in an otherwise unassuming strip mall. Pastaza is an order at the counter spot that serves up a surprisingly good risotto and a reliably tasty bowl of pasta in a fast casual setting. Al dente rice and noodles: check. Fresh veggies, especially the asparagus: check. Saucy, but not overly so: check. Cute-as-a-button interior: check. Friendly service: check. The only miss for me was the proteins: the chicken was slightly overdone and the meatball was unremarkable. Pastaza hits all of the other marks, so I'll just go with an all veggie pick next time. read more

Wonderful concept, delicious food, great pricing, great service. Pastaza is a true gem in the Trophy Club area. While the ambiance is fast-casual, the food is something out of a fine dining restaurant. The premise of Pastaza is that the everything is customizable, so there is something for everyone. Great for a date night or family meal out! read more

Wooooooow! My boyfriend and I wanted to try a new food place, so he found Pastaza in Trophy Club! The service was awesome! The guy at the front was very helpful with recommendations on what to order. We ended up getting calamari, margherita pizza, and a build your own pasta. The calamari was perfectly battered and fried, and not too greasy like other places. I don't usually like calamari, but I have to say this is the best one I've tried and I ate half the plate! The margherita pizza was a beautiful tasting pizza. My boyfriend took one bite and immediately was hooked. It's not too thick and not too thin of a pizza- perfect imo. It was just the right amount of crispy to where the pizza was not floppy. Aesthetically 10/10 looking too. We also wanted to try their pasta. We got the cavatelli pasta with Alfredo sauce, tomatoes, spinach and chicken. It also comes with a fluffy piece of bread. The pasta was great as well! The food came out very quick and tasted great. Overall I'd rate it a 10/10! My boyfriend and I will definitely be back! This was a great trophy club find!! read more

Excellent fast-casual joint to satisfy your pasta cravings! Ambiance & Service: The interior is clean and modern! You order at the register and then find a table. The owner was incredibly nice and mentioned they'd been open for over a year. It wasn't very busy, and I hope that changes for them soon! Food: - Caesar Salad: It was okay--just romaine, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan. I wish they would add croutons! - Cavatappi with Rossa Sauce: I love that you can add three toppings. I chose spinach, mushrooms, and asparagus. The pasta was delicious--piping hot and very fresh! The Rossa sauce was creamy but not too heavy. The homemade bread served on the side was also delightful! TL;DR - Perfect option for fast-casual Italian! I'd skip the Caesar salad but highly recommend the Rossa sauce with your pasta! read more

Strong modern (minimalist) vibe. Great pasta. Counter serve but we still felt attended to. Decent prices - but maybe a tad high for counter serve? If I could give 4.5 stars I would. But we'll probably keep looking for our favorite NWFW Italian. read more

Pastaza - Cesar Salad - Pizza Near Me - Trophy Club, Texas

This is a solid pasta/pizza spot for anyone in the area. It's a no frills, elevated fast casual spot with proud owners and cooks. Quick tip: It's on the right side of the Tom Thumb plaza How it works: Choose your pasta, choose your sauce, and choose the toppings to add. Up to 3 toppings are a set price and proteins are varying prices. Same goes for the pizza orders as well. The reason I say it's an elevated fast casual spot is because they cook everything you order, fresh. You also grab your own water/drinks, utensils, etc. This spot is also BYOB so could be good for hanging out, but it looks like a lot of people grab this spot to go. Overall, a solid choice for lunch or dinner read more

Pastaza - a piece of bread on a plate - Pizza Near Me - Trophy Club, Texas

167 reviews that average 4.8 stars? C'mon now. I will say it's good. It's not that good. The pizza was very good. In the words of Dave Portnoy, I would have liked it a little tighter. The crust was not quite as crisp as it should have been. However, flavor of crust was very good. As was the overall pizza. We also had an order of pasta. The concept reminds me of a Dalmoro'esque vibe. Picking the pasta, sauce, toppings. Anyway, the pasta was overcooked and over sauced. The flavor was good. The bread they gave us was also very good. Good crumb. Good texture. This is a solid choice. Casual. Easy. Basic menu that works. At a time when restaurants are trying to be everything to everyone, Pastaza stays in a lane and sticks the landing. read more

10 stars! So authentic. So fresh. So delicious. It's a gourmet meal in a casual, quick setting. I didn't expect the food to be so scrumptious but it has been EVERY time! To make it even better: They could serve alcohol and play Italian music (I'm not a fan of the karaoke-style music) but it's quiet and they have great service. The bread tastes like it's right out of the oven, the salad is so fresh and heavily dressed in a delicious dressing. The menu is meant to give you lots of choices so don't be overwhelmed, just ask for recommendations. If they had gelato, I'd never leave. Questo posto ha un autentico delizioso cibo italiano. se servissero il gelato, non me ne andrei mai.

I absolutely love this place. Delicious food; the pasta is a must! Quick service, option to BYOB, and the food is always amazing!

Amazing experience, even more amazing food! Friendly service and owners are doing a fantastic job! Chill atmosphere!

I'm picky about my pizza - this was just about perfect! I went with the classic Margarita. Super fresh-tasting tomato sauce, generous fresh mozzarella topping, & fresh basil. Loved how the crust was perfectly cooked - crispy & thin, but still a bit chewy - very very good! Took as a takeout & it was ready in just about 10 min. Service was friendly, thoughtful, & professional. read more

Simple, no frills, delicious pasta and pizza. They allow you to customize, which was super for my mother's health issues.

I can't find enough good things to say about this place. It was so delicious! I recently tried this place for lunch. The restauranteur was incredibly helpful and took great pride in his menu. I expected another fast food pasta place. However, this place rivaled pasta sold at the fanciest Italian restaurants of the metroplex due to its flavor, price, and quality. There was ample seating and high chairs for little ones. Fountain drinks and a few bottled drinks were available. It was quiet and had a modern look and feel. It is easily one of the best lunch options in the area tucked away in a strip mall near Tom Thumb. read more

I had read great reviews on Pastaza. I decided to give it a try. My only thought was what took me so long. Walking in the menu is a bit daunting because you have choices to make. Once you take a minute to figure it out, it's easy. There is a nice selection of pasta's and pizza. The restaurant is family owned and operated by three generations. Everything is homemade and fresh. I had the spaghetti with roasted pepper sauce and meatballs. It was probably the best sauce I've ever had. Portions were more than ample. It's BYOB if you want to drink. The restaurant is no frills but charming and you pay for the fancy frills Do yourself a favor hurry here to eat read more

First time trying this place and it was amazing! I will definitely be coming back to this place continuously for my pasta fixes read more

Amazing amazing clean family environment some of the best pasta I've had in a long time. Try the roasted pepper sauce with chicken. Great service as well read more

Came here for lunch yesterday. Walked in and the place was totally empty. I asked my husband if we should leave as it was right in the middle of lunch and the place being totally empty concerned me. The gentleman at the counter took our order. I don't believe he greeted us when we first walked in. We got a Cesar salad and a margarita pizza. The salad was a bit over dressed but tasty. The pizza was delicious. The service that started out as almost nonexistent got better throughout our meal. We even got a "have a great day" greeting as we walked out. We will try this place again another time as the pizza is definitely worth another trip. read more

Italian food and pizza is not a Texas specialty at all. I will try this place soon but from what I see on pictures of the pizza it might just be like all the others ( small and dough is not fresh and is not baked in a high temp oven but lets see ), As far as food goes I am spoiled being from NY and NJ where this type of food is far supreme and no place in Texas can compare at all . I recommend that anyone opening Italian restaurants in Texas go to NY and NJ and work in a restaurant there and come back here and apply what you learn. and P.S if you buy bagels in Texas the same applies don't waste your money just go to the Supermarket and buy Thomas bagels and for pizza just try QT of 7-eleven it is just the same . I will update soon on this restaurant and update the stars. Hopefully I am surprised. read more

Absolutely amazing, this place will not disappoint. Second visit here sharing a meal with the fam, we love the simplicity of the place. The menu is very simple, not over-crowded with choices -- K.I.S.S. The host and kitchen staff are very gracious. It has an Italian or Mediterranean ambience. Will do this again, absolutely adore this place read more

Food was very good. We ordered Togo on a Saturday night and it was pretty quick. Pizza was fresh out of the oven as they put it in the oven when we arrived to pick up. Only thing not exceptional was the spaghetti and meatballs and the extra side of meatballs sitting on the counter and wasn't the hottest when we got home. read more

The arancini was perfect. Definitely homemade marinara. Will be back for the pasta and pizza next

Nothing quite like an authentic Italian spot. I'll be honest...the name didn't scream authentic Italian at first. I thought for sure this would be some frozen lasagna/boring pizza type of place but they definitely are NOT! The pizza is to die for! Straight out the oven with a crispy on the outside but soft on the inside crust. Every single thing that I have tried is amazing. The lobster ravioli, cheese ravioli, meatballs, risotto...OMG the Cacio E Peppe risotto is THE BOMB! Honestly, their rossa and basil pesto sauce needs to bottled and sold! Even the tiramisu had me wanting more! I have obviously been several times and I plan to be back several more times! This place is SO good. read more

Delicious flavorful pasta/pizza! Love that you can customize your sauce, veggies, and meat.

So many choices! I like how they give you options to select from. The pasta was a little over cooked for me but the alfredo sauce was delicious. Very creamy with a hint of garlic. The bread was also freshly made and good. I really wanted to like the pizza but it was just too greasy for me and the dough was dry. I would go back for the pasta! Inside it's very clean and open. read more
