Fantastic arancini!!
Leanne M.

Excellent addition to Somerville's local food game! I have been here a few times and enjoyed everything I tried. The arancini were absolutely divine! They were super cheesy and soft on the inside, while maintaining a crispy crunch on the outside. Along with cheese, there was also rice and meat, maybe pancetta? Order these! The boneless chicken tenders were crispy, but not dry and had sweet and sour sauce on the side. Also, a great pick! For pizza we decided on the buffalo chicken pizza. It was outstanding! It had blue cheese, chunks of chicken, and scallions. There was no red sauce which I prefer when having a buffalo chicken pizza. Definitely interested in trying different pizzas here! Give ZAZA a try next time you want take out for a game or night in!

I am obsessed with the place. The food and service are always impeccable. This breakfast calzone was so perfect, I would highly recommend 10/10

large salami pizza

This review is predominantly for their pizzas, which is $10 for a large on Mondays if you pick it up yourself. Top Picks: - Salami Pizza - ZaZa Pizza (alfredo, prosciutto, arugula, mozzarella, ricotta) ZaZa's is one of my preferred pizza joints in Somerville/Medford. They make a thinner crust style pizza that I've personally come to associate with Italian style pizzas. Even among similar style pizzas, ZaZa's stands out to me because of the flavor of their crust and their individual toppings. ZaZa's pizza crust has a good bread flavor, and I'll often find myself eating their pizzas whole including the crust. I also enjoy some of their individual toppings better than at other pizza joints - their salami and prosciutto taste closer to what you'd find on a charcuterie plate than a grocery store deli. Their staff is also super friendly. I'm regrettably a little too anti-social to truly appreciate it, but I think most real/normal humans would. The reason I'm shaving down to 4 stars is because I found some of their pizzas to be just OK - BBQ Chicken, Chicken Parm and Sausage Vodka. I've also only gotten a non-pizza item once - a chicken parm sandwich - and I found that to be mediocre as well. Overall I'd easily recommend ZaZa's Pizzeria.

My girlfriend moved into the neighborhood recently and we've been trying a lot of the restaurants in the area. I'm glad I decided to stop in to ZaZa midday to try their Italian sub. It was perfection...the prosciutto, mortadella and salami were sliced thin and melted in my mouth. The bread was also fresh and soft. I got the Buffalo cauliflower for my girlfriend but I ended up eating half of it...delicious! Look for Nelson and Will in the kitchen. Super friendly guys! Glad to have ZaZa in the neighborhood!

We got a pizza and two pastas family style and they were all so good, my favorite of the night was the sweet potato pasta! It's a bit pricey with not big portions so I'd recommend sharing so everyone can try a bit of everything! 5/5 food - the nduja pizza had such a unique flavor, we also got a sweet potato pasta and clam pasta 5/5 service - quick service and very kind! 5/5 vibes

Well-dressed and well executed. Pizzas were ok, was under impressed with the pepperoni/ vodka which sounded amazing on paper but was light on the pepperoni and on the actual flavor. Pastas were tasty and popular with our group, but to me over priced for what they were - pasta with little to no meat for $28-$30. Service was poor... our server ("Hannah") had troubles landing the hot honey to accompany the pizza on our table and it landed on me and another person in our party, ruining my shirt and pants. An apology never came and no effort to make it right or acknowledge the mistake, I guess the guaranteed tip for large parties provided little incentive for our server to provide adequate customer service. IMO, Drinks were overpriced and small (a 12 ounce draft beer for $10???). Gufo translates to "owl"... cute! Based on my experience I'd rename it "Goof-Up" because that was my personal experience. Hope you have a better experience.

It is his childhood favorite (the thin slices) and the measure by which all others are rated. We arrived during lunch... 8-or-so person line that moved quickly. A well-oiled machine. We ordered slices - apparently, only available a la Sicilian, not thin: pepperoni, sausage, mushroom. All three were served room temperature and the cheese had already re-solidified into a tasteless rubbery blob. Maybe that's what pizza is out here. For my first East Coast pizza, I was really hoping it WAS going to be the best pizza I've ever had (until I get to NYC, of course). There were a few tables enjoying hot and gooey thin slice round pizzas that looked amazing. They were also being eaten by grown ups. Maybe that's where we went wrong. Did we order from the kid's menu? Maybe we chose badly? Maybe we were so close to the door that the slices siezed up before we got them in our mouths? If this is the best you've got, I don't need to try another pizza in the whole state.

My go-tos are the mushroom pie and clam pie, both of which are super flavorful and made with high-quality ingredients. They pair really well with the shaved brussel sprout salad, which may be the perfect salad in my eyes: thinly shaved brussel sprouts, crunchy roasted hazelnuts, and slices of parmesan cheese. Not too saucy but extremely refreshing!

I just had a disappointing pizza experience at Area 4 (rated 4.4, one of the highest in the area)…read more My sister even said she preferred dining hall food, and we both agreed that Domino's was better. The service was poor from the start. The waitress told us we would be seated at the bar. She rolled her eyes and appeared visibly annoyed when I asked if it was okay that my sister was under 21. She said it was fine as long as we didn't order drinks, then seated us at the bar. We were only given drink menus. When the bartender came over to take our order, I had to ask for a food menu myself. Our seating was also uncomfortable. We were placed right next to the bar/server station. My sister got splashed when drinks were being opened, and servers repeatedly bumped into her chair while passing. We ordered the Carnivore pizza. The pizza itself was quite salty. The dough was decent, but not impressive. I kept trying to convince myself it was good, but it fell short. Pizza: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Would I return? No. Overall, I was surprised by the 4.4 rating. My expectations were much higher based on the reviews.
