    Created a pizza with garlic white sauce, chicken, mushrooms and artichoke. So good!!!

    Food was delicious, we had pizza and chicken parmigiana. Service was attentive and the restaurant vibe is relaxing. Great place to have a nice dinner.

    Chicken piccata so good

    This place is always good. Haven't had a bad thing on the menu. Bartenders and servers are always friendly. Place is usually full. Which is a good sign. One of my go to spots when in the area.

    Old fashion & Brussel sprouts

    After my first time visiting Za with friends, I knew I had to bring the family and it definitely won't be our last visit. We came in craving pasta but ended up ordering a mix of appetizers, pizza, and pasta. We started with the brussels sprouts and calamari, both of which were excellent. The kids had the Alfredo pasta, while we enjoyed pizza and lasagna, everything was delicious. The service was as fast and attentive. The only minor downside was the taste of the drinking water, but the mixed drinks were perfectly made and more than made up for it. The ambiance was nice and quiet, making it very family friendly!

    Really enjoyed our takeout experience, but would love to eat in sometime soon too. The service was good and it was super easy to place the order online. A cute spot and if you're in the mood for pizza or pasta, it's a great place to check out. Highly recommend reservations, as it was busy!

    New-ish Italian restaurant in Elm Grove! Cute and dim lighting place with live music on some nights. Lots of table and bar seating, however it is incredibly loud inside. It was packed on a weeknight but it seemed many of the restaurant go-ers were friends of the singer. Would come back for the pasta, not for the pizza, and definitely not for the bread

    Tried Za for the first time a few weeks ago. Super cute location. The wood-fired pizza was good and very nice to share a few different types amongst a table. The staff were very nice and attentive. Nice place for a casual date night or catching up with friends/family.

    Spicy rigatoni- Highly recommend!!

    Omg entree was AMAZING! We got the spicy rigatoni & pepperoni pizza & tiramisu. The atmosphere was beautiful. Service was great. We will be back!

    Cannoli. Two for $12.

    Za was amAZing! We went here for a date night but it is definitely somewhere we would be comfortable with the kids. Very mixed crowd of friends, dates, families. The decor looks like something out of a magazine without and the vibe is upscale classy. We started with the brussel sprouts (roasted with goat cheese and hot honey) and are looking forward to trying to recreate the dish at home. My wife had the filet with gnocchi and the steak melted in her mouth. I had the funghi pasta and had to force myself not to devour the entire dish. We finished off the meal with a cannoli!

    The meatball appetizer was delicious!

    My friends and I have a book club, and we try to meet west of Milwaukee because some of the members drive from the Madison area, which is why we decided to check out ZA. Everything was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. I already know a couple things I will be trying when I come back next time! We arrived right when they opened on a late Sunday afternoon, and so it was nice and quiet initially, which made it ideal for our book discussion, but by the time we were done eating, it was quite lively and fun!

    Garlic bread with cheese

    Made a reservation for Dinner before a show at Sunset Playhouse. (definitely recommend this if going before a show as they get super busy) Was a nice date atmosphere. We DID have to use our flashlight to read the menu well and noticed others did too but it happens, when you're old lol The server was super friendly and attentive. Food came out pretty quickly considering how busy they were. And I was very impressed by the portions. I added the chicken to my pesto pasta as I worried about it being filling enough, but I would have absorbed fine without it. The flavor was great, but definitely garlic. (That's on me I never think about that ahead of time and need to start carrying mints lol) The goat pizza was delicious. Flavors I've never had on pizza. And I'm not the biggest wood fire fan but this crust was really good. I didn't try the garlic bread because I just didn't have room but my husband loved it! It is on the pricier side but felt like the service, food quality and atmosphere justified it. I hope to get back to try some cocktails.

    Calamari

    I made Valentine's Day reservations for Za. They get busy pretty quickly so I recommend making a reservation. The restaurant has a very nice date atmosphere. I was fortunate that my party was sat near the large pizza oven. It was awesome to see the pizzas get baked in real time. For appetizers, we got the calamari. The calamari had well seasoned batter and was a nice golden color. The calamari is accompanied by 2 sauces-- a fresh tomato sauce and a lemon aioli. I preferred the lemon aioli since it provided a nice twang to the calamari. For entrees, we ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka and the chicken alfredo. I must admit that our humble party of two was surprised by the size of the pasta dishes. Given that each dish is over $20, it's nice to see that the portions are ample. Both entrees came fresh out the kitchen! The spicy rigatoni is truly spicy. The color and the spice level match appropriately. The chicken alfredo has a good amount of chicken in the pasta. You won't be skimped on your protein. The pasta had us so filled we passed on dessert this time. For drinks, we ordered the limoncello margarita and the espresso martini. Both drinks were strong (compliments to the bartender). The limoncello margarita wasn't overwhelmingly bitter. It was a nice balance of bitter and sweet. The espresso martini is not a creamy martini. The base for their espresso martini is Kahlua so it has a bolder, robust coffee flavor. If you like a creamier espresso martini (usually lighter in color since the base is Bailey's) then I would pass on this one. The service was friendly and quick. I loved that there was a live singer for the night. For a party of two, we spent $95. So, you'll likely spend almost $50/person. 10/10 will come here again to try the pizza.

    Date of visit: January 16, 2026…read more This is a favorite with many of the teams at work, but I haven't always been able to partake as many of their recipes are very heavy on onions and those frankly, are just not my jam. Since I was ordering this time for a non-work event, I had control of the mic, er, keyboard, and was able to order online things that I would be sure to eat. But of course I considered the desires of the others in the group as well! Online ordering was a snap and while I don't have enough points yet to get anything, I appreciated that I was working towards something with the nearly $70 I spent on the food. While not cheap, the pizza was quite good. The two different types of pepperoni they have is very interesting and the chicken alfredo pizza was outstanding! Everything we got was a big hit with the fam. The place itself is small, but the handful of booths and tables would allow you to dine in if you so chose, and they were very smart with the window tinting given how your headlights shine directly into the restaurant as you turn into the parking lot.

    This place never disappoints! The staff was super friendly and helpful as they were soooo BUSY! I…read moreordered for a specific time and they NAILED it! Piping hot and fresh Italian beef pizza, spinach calzone (sadly they discontinued artichoke hearts!!) why? It pairs soo well with spinach! But the calzone dough is pillowy delicious with Marinara sauce to dip. Jalapeño poppers are a bit spicy but plenty of cream cheese. Mozzarella sticks were also on point and pretty standard. Love the Chocolate Shoppe ice-cream! A pint is a great finish to a good pizza dinner. Thank you Glass Nickle for maintaining your quality and service throughout the years!

    Went today for the first time to meet up with friends. We were warmly greeted when we entered and…read morewere given an introduction and explanation of the business. There is a small retail section in front for those who wish to purchase games, but there is a massive selection of games to use while you're there, we were told over 950 games! There is an adequately sized menu to cover standard gaming fare, as well as beverage options to cover most tastes and ingredient intolerances Our group ordered a sugar free vanilla latte, unsweetened ice tea, bottled water, and a pizza. The pizza is made in-house and is pretty good. A soft hand-tossed crust topped with a tasty sauce, and we added slightly spicy sausage and pepperoni. I would definitely order it again! The service was excellent despite being a busy with one person handling the guest check-ins, order taking, order delivery, and checking guests out. There is currently a $7 cover charge, which I will assume covers the use of the 950+ games, and is a bargain. You are allowed to bring in your own games, but I assume you can't bring in your own food or drink, but I didn't ask because why would I? We want to support a small business, so buying drinks and food is the least I can do, since they let us have access to all of their games. Overall, we had a great experience, and we will be back! Highly recommend!

    Tastes great. By looks, I thought it was overpriced. Then I tasted the all meat offered, and man…read morewas it tasty and filling. We were happy with our purchase.

    I have visited Sluggo's frequently over multiple years. My latest experience has disturbed me. I…read morehave noticed that a "service charge" is included on their bills that they will remove for cash payment. But, it is illegal to add a service charge when using a debit (not credit) card . (https://www.google.com/search?q=is+it+legal+to+add+a+service+charge+when+using+a+debit+card+in+wisconsin&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS913US913&oq=is+it+legal+to+add+a+service+charge+when+using+a) I asked our server politely about this and she wisely referred my question to her boss (the co-owner, I learned). He came to our table and was immediately irate. "I'll take the charge off your bill tonight, but never again. If you don't want to pay it, find another bar!" I never complained loudly or raised my voice so I was shocked by his angry attitude. I explained I had done some research and learned that a service charge is legal when using a CREDIT card, but is NOT when using a DEBIT card. I thought Sluggo's had been a friendly place, but I learned differently tonight. I'm confident I was right, but I realize customers are not always right. However, customers should ALWAYS be treated better and more professionally and graciously than what I experienced.
