    Food is as expected from Zio's, but the lunch service workers are much more interested in what's in the back.

    I'm not sure how they do it, but their salads are always fresh with the best ranch dressing.

There are some small tables on this side also. On the other side is a small room with just tables for dining. We went in for dinner so we sat on the dining side. The service was hit and miss. We sat there for a good 10 minutes before anyone came to say hello. After that there were multiple people who came by to take our order or fill our water glasses. We ordered a couple drinks and we both enjoyed those, they were made very well. For food. we ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and we felt it was a little on the bland side, no big flavor popping out at us. I ordered the Italian sausage Diavolo with shrimp. This had a good flavor and the shrimp complimented it well. Both were good sized portions, I took home more than half of the Diavolo pasta but we felt we would not eat the Alfredo. I did not feel we received the value for the prices we paid. I don't expect to be back for dinner, we probably will for drinks some time though.

Not to mention that one of our dining companions had a 4 hour dinner, the last time he was there. Mind you, this was NOT their intent. Back to the review.....we were seated right away (we had reservations). But after that things took a turn. We were told by our waitress that she'd "be right back". After 40 mins another waitress asked if we wanted drinks. Took our drink order and then we waited another 20 minutes for our drinks to come. An hour to just get a drink?!?!? Ordered our meals and 3 out of 4 got the lasagna. HUGE portions but not hot....Luke warm at best. Like I said, what is happening to this place?!?!?! It was a Friday night and honestly not very busy. Not sure if they're short on help or just trying to "coast" on their reputation. Regardless, there will be some time that passes before either couple decides to roll the dice here again. Hopefully they step up their game so I can call this place my "never disappoint" place again!!!

I love that they constantly rotate their pizza of the week. Even when I'm hesitant because it's something I've never tried before, I find myself excited and eager to go for it--because everything here is consistently a 10. After experiences like this, it's hard not to trust every specialty pizza they put out. Our server, Lexi, was absolutely on point--friendly, so personable . They also let you sample any beer you're curious about, which I really appreciate. I tried the Cotton Candy beer, and it was over-the-moon good. I'm not a big beer drinker at all, and I honestly couldn't believe it was beer. I also got to sample the drinks my party ordered--wow. Every visit, there are new beers on tap. You might miss one and wish it was still around, but the ever-rotating selection is just another reason this place is such a delight. As for the food, I took a leap of faith with the Sriracha BLT pizza. I was very hesitant, but I threw caution to the wind--and I'm so glad I did. It was absolutely fabulous. Need Pizza continues to impress on every level, and I can't wait to come back again.

The service is always good, just know if it's busy you will wait, but it's so worth it! We ordered the all meat pizza and the bacon cheese burger pizza.

My margarita had a good flavor but I tasted no tequila or triple sec in it, I ordered a second one, same thing. We ordered food as well, my friend ordered a quesadilla which looked good and was good according to him. I ordered a lasagna and was not impressed - the temperature was slightly less than the surface of the sun, the marinara sauce had too much sugar in it (like Filipino spaghetti sauce), the portion size was small (I ate again later that night), and for it being lasagna, it had one lasagna noodle in it. I've had a similar dish in Napa, CA with similar results. I wasn't impressed, not in Napa, not here. Not sure where they got their lasagna recipe from but it needs to go back and stay there. The "cheese bread" on the side was disappointing as well. It was essentially dry French bread with pepperjack cheese melted on it. If you're going to do that, at least put some butter on it and grill it, otherwise it's a bland, tasteless side mess, which it was. I usually have a mixed drink and their pizza and have yet to be disappointed, so next time, that's what I'll do. Avoid the lasagna or whatever it is they call lasagna. As far as the bar itself is concerned? I love the retro look and feel of the place, always have, always will. This time though, there were A LOT of kids there - must've had some sort of special going on. It wasn't loud or obnoxious or kids running everywhere while we there, I've just never seen that many kids there before. No biggie.
