Went here on a Friday night, 30 minutes prior to closing, a small group of six. The welcoming of the staff and service was Superb throughout the entire experience. The waitress was very patient didn't make us feel rushed, took all of our orders didn't write anything down and nailed it. The Fried Okra was hit and the salads were freshly made and a good portion. Everyone enjoyed their entrees from small pizzas, lasagna, wings and the Greek salad. There's outside sitting and pet friendly. Highly recommend and I'll be returning soon! read more

So much cuter on the inside than the strip mall exterior would lead you to believe. Prompt service (at least at the bar) and really delicious pizzas. Looking forward to checking out brunch! read more

Za's has just reopened, and the inside looks like a totally different restaurant. Swanky wood paneling, hip modern lighting, and a funky tree sculpture/light fixture behind the bar that mesmerized our small child. We had the caprese and the three cheese pizza. Even though the caprese was huge for two, with fresh heirlooms + perfect little clouds of mozzarella, I almost wanted to order two. The garlic flavored crust and quality of the cheeses on the pizza was delicious, but the ricotta made it almost too rich. With the long lineup of sauces and veggies available, I'll probably build my own next time. I love that Devine St. has another slightly fancier option with a solid looking menu. This is definitely a place I'll come back when I want to feel a little swanky while eating something simple and delicious. read more

They refused to substitute their breaded, fried chicken in their chicken parmigiana for grilled chicken. There's a big difference between "can't do it", and "won't do it". For example, I could return, but we won't. When you try to tell someone what can and can't be done in a kitchen, make sure it's not to someone that knows what they're doing in a kitchen. The worst thing you can do. When you choose to work in the service industry, is to lose site of customer service. read more

A go-to place for me when I want their zucchini noodle pasta or personalized pizzas! Good wine selection and good prices! Great for groups too! Sometimes slow/ lackluster service, and the food quality can vary. But when it's good, it's really good. read more

We used to love Za's but have noticed the past couple of times we were there that things were off. A lot of little, lazy, easily fixable things have turned this family away. First off, I know this is a fun place to work but it seems very unprofessional. The hostess doesn't smile, and the servers smile and play around with each other but barely speak to the customers. The music is fun but way too loud for the clientele. The kitchen is an open concept so you can see and hear everything. The person who seemed to be the kitchen manager would take the food from under the heat lamps and set it on the counter- this is the counter that most customers walk by, the hostess leaned on the counter talking with the kitchen staff- over all of the food!! The employees left their drinks on that same counter next to the customer's food. The last straw for us was when we asked for a box for our leftovers and an employee reached behind a trash can and to get one off of a rolling cart. My husband asked if he could get a box that wasn't behind a trashcan and she said "yeah, I don't know why they put them there". The food is pretty good but not worth the money if these lazy habits aren't corrected. read more

We came a few months ago for Wine Wednesday and had a great meal and drinks. The only regret was leaving our leftovers on the table when we left. read more

I'm very glad Za's re-opened! This 3 star is based largely on the past, but may change up or down after our next visit. We've been enjoying Za's since we moved from Charleston a long time ago. My favorite menu item is not on the new menu, which was the Cali Salad with tuna. They took several menu options away. Instead of the old try-fold menu with different pizza options, pastas, salads, etc., they have narrowed it down to a one sided menu (cocktails/wine/beer on other side). Thank goodness they had the Chicken Ranch Calzone, or my wife may have rioted. The new updated look of the restaurant was needed, but on our first visit back the kitchen had a bit of a back slide. I blame this largely on execution. My wife's calzone was not cooked long enough, only had a few pieces of chicken, and was only about 1/2 full. They also raised the price on this dish, and took away the side dish? Yes, you read that correctly more expensive, less food, and poorly executed. I'm not sure how long they've been back open, but as a former cook I attribute this to lack of experience. The flavor was still there, but it was like when you buy a big bag of chips and open it and it is mostly full of air. The dough wasn't cooked through, and it didn't have nearly enough ingredients inside (especially for the price). I had the Greek chicken pita. It was exactly what I thought it would be. Not bad, but not something that had me wanting to come back for more. The staff was very nice, attentive, and good at their jobs. I hope these kinks can be worked out with more experience by the guys preparing the food. My wife said she didn't really miss the side dish, but was baffled at how they would take it away and raise the price. We'll go back after they've had a little time to work the kinks out. I hope it can return to their former greatness of years ago! This was one of our favorite spots for years. read more

Never been here but glad I took a chance! The mimosas, wings with sweet bourbon sauce and the white pizza was stellar! Can't wait to go back and try some other items. The live music was a plus as well! read more

The chicken Parmesan is amazing! Get it with the Zucchini noodles. Very flavorful and savory. The bartenders are also amazing! It was so good I forgot to snap a photo before I dug in read more

Za's on Devine - Pizza Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

First time here, house salad was fresh and shrimp were cooked to perfection. The wife enjoyed her pizza. Service was good and wait wasn't long for lunch hour on a Saturday. Definitely recommend and will be back again read more

I went here for brunch on Sunday and the breakfast pizza was amazing. I love the blend with artichoke on the pizza. My sister ordered the breakfast bowl and it was delicious as well. read more

Um. Definitely not my favorite. It seems like everything we ordered was drenched in olive oil. Not a light drizzle, not just a little too much - I mean, absolutely drenched. It made our meal basically inedible. My husband, whom I've deemed "the garbage disposal" wouldn't eat it, which speaks volumes, ha. Although, the place had a nice atmosphere and our server was polite. We might return but will definitely ask for "no oil" on our pizza and appetizers. read more

The staff and lasagna was amazing!!! The food was so tasty! We will definitely be back. The atmosphere is great and food didn't take long to arrive over lunch! We will definitely be back! read more

This is a local pizza place near us so we thought it could be a good Thursday night dinner spot. We got two pizzas, both of which were ok, not as good as Dano's or Marco's pizza on rosewood. My mom got the Italian sub and the presentation was AWFUL! It looked very unappetizing and it looked as if the chefs just threw it together. And that was just the appearance, the taste was no better as it was very heavily vineagared, making it barely edible. We were not pleased. For the overall price and quality of our food, its safe to say we won't be eating here for a while. read more

My friend and stopped here for a quick bite before a class and we ordered an 8 inch Pizza which was the perfect size for us. Everything was fresh and it was brought to the table fairly quickly. The staff was amazing and their selection of alcohol is pretty good too. Quick great service! read more

The customer service is awesome...I walked in and was greeted by the own and he gave me the best seat in the house at least that's what I think. My waitress was prompt with my drink and order. The wait time for food seem like it all happened instantly. The food was delicious. I encourage anyone to stop and experience what I've experienced read more

Za's on Devine - Can we say oh sooo good - Pizza Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Food was amazing! My family and I are on vacation here visiting relatives and we found this place on google. We gave it a try and it was great! We were sat down right away. Although we were informed there wasn't much staff, it was still fast service. Only reason 4 stars instead of 5 is because our silverware was a bit dirty. Even though we asked for another batch it still wasn't the cleanest. besides that it was great! I'd come back. read more

Best hand tossed pizza around. We always get the Traditional and Devine. Good food and nice staff

We love Za's! The pizza and calzones are the best that we have had in Columbia. The atmosphere is cozy and prices are affordable.

Good food but still waiting for pizza after 1.5 hours. Haven't seen the waitress in 38 mins.

I cannot sing enough praise to Za's. I've lived in Columbia for nearly 10 years and I can't believe this is my first time here! My husband and I have been hunting for the best buffalo chicken pizza in Columbia and we have found it. Not only was this pizza fantastic, but the crust nearly made me cry. I have never had such amazing pizza crust in my life. I will come here again and again and I hope you will too! read more

Great pizza and nice place to dine outside in the evening. Tables were spaced apart following the COVID-19 guidelines, hand sanitizer was provided for customers and the employees were all wearing masks. Efficient service and friendly staff. read more

The food is great and the atmosphere is very inviting, whether you choose to dine outside or in. The pasta dishes are exceptional, especially the cajun shrimp or salmon pasta dishes. My wife and I always ask for Alena when we dine at Za's. She is friendly, pleasant, and sincerely cares about her customers. The combination makes for a great dining experience. read more

The service was actually immaculate & everything came out on time and so good!!! Proud of them for being able to continue the good service despite all the pandemic complications read more

Amazing pizza! Heard about them from Opinions on Pickens and have not stopped going since. Would definitely recommend.

Love this place. Here's the thing though. Ordered the breadsticks app, which says it comes with basil pesto. Pesto is green. Basil, olive oil, pine nuts, parmesean. Simple. They said what was brought is pesto...and I am the queen of england. Someone needs to let the chef know this ain't it. (See pic) read more

Za's on Devine - Basil pesto? Basil pest-no. - Pizza Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Loved the food & service! Only complaint would be the live music in the bar area was WAY to loud. The singer / guitarist was awesome, but the acoustics in that area is not conducive for it being that loud. None of us could have a conversation. If you could lower the volume it would be perfect!!! read more

If you don't know about this place, then you should!! I am a pasta lover! The Blacken Cajun Pasta with Salomon is to dieeeee for!!!! Mixed drinks are a wonderful. The staff are always friendly. I haven't been to any other restaurant since COVID started, but I'll come here. It's clean, the staff wear mask, and respect your space while still giving you amazing service. read more

We just relocated from Massachusetts to the Rosewood area. We have been searching for a new pizza spot and Za's was it. Not only is their pizza delicious but their pasta is AMAZING! read more

I have always loved Za's their pizza is awesome and so is the rest of their food. Unfortunately tonight the service was terrible. Our waiter was very nice but forgot my side salad, silverware, our bottle of wine we ordered, and my friends meal. He had to ask twice what my friend ordered and then got his meal several several minutes after ours. So disappointing. Need to step up their service for sure. Would have been a great experience minus the very below average service read more

The pizza was good and the wait time was decent. The over all experience was okay. I think I will try to eat here again but I will try something other than pizza. read more

Great place to eat, great location. you have a variety of foods, pizza ,salmon orzo salad ( delicious)calzone, lasagna, and pasta. read more

This is my favorite place in Columbia. On Wednesday's they do $4 glasses with live music. I have a blast and have never had something I didn't like read more

Winner, winner pizza dinner! Great spot! Lovely outdoor seating, superior service and a fabulous calzone! Well worth the visit and I can't wait to get back. read more

The only good thing I can say is that my pizza actually was good. Horrible, rude service. Our appetizer of artichoke and spinach dip came AFTER we had already eaten our pizza after we asked about it several times. Several people at the table got the wrong food and our waitress wasn't even apologetic. She didn't discount or take anything off and even after we clearly weren't eating our spinach and artichoke appetizer since we had already eaten our meal and asked if we could have extra pita for it to-go because it came with about 6 slices of pita for a big bowl of dip and she said "yeah okay but i'll have to change it on your bill then" like ??? you can't spare a few pieces of pita to compensate? will not return. read more

First off if I could give a 0 I would. For horrible customer service. I called in my order for the blackened shrimp on my way from work. I order from ZA'S all the time. Tonight when I got home my shrimp was burnt and pasta hard. No sauce or cheese. Pasta was as dry as it could be. I will not be returning to this place, they are trash. I called to let them know my order was not correct and Alexis the host puts me on hold as if she went to the kitchen,to express my disappointment about my meal.Then comes back and acts as if she went to tell someone that they messed my order up. She ask if I can come back so they can give me another pasta. First of all hell no because I'm in for the night and secondly it is 30 degrees pouring down raining. Thats why I ordered take out before I got home. Thirdly why would I bring my 3 year old back into that type of weather. So why should I have to waste my gas because you gave me this dry ass pasta. After I told I wasn't doing that and I'm already 30 mins away. She was like oh well hopefully it's better next time. Goodnight. Don't waste your money here with these rude people and poor business read more

Placed a to-go order. The restaurant representative called us back three times to tell us certain items were not available as requested and even after we arrived, the order was wrong. When the representative discussed with the cooks, the cook rolled his eyes. The menu online has not been updated to reflect the in-house menu. Their pizzas and salads are usually good, but was unimpressed with their to-go service. read more

Stone fire pizza was divine. They have plenty of seating inside and out. The staff were very friendly and helpful. read more

So glad Za's has reopened! Their white pizza with smoked Gouda is one of my favorites. I usually add prosciutto which gives the pizza a great flavor. The crust is on the thin side which is how I like it. They do have take out so you can call ahead and pick it up on the way home. read more
