Alza is my go-to spot for Italian food whenever I crave it. They’ve got a great menu with baked dishes, pastas, and pizzas. Each entree comes with a choice of soup or salad, and complimentary bread is served. I tried the creamy arrabiata with chicken or...Read More

Not being located in busy areas, no fancy signs or decorations, yet, it is really a local gem. We ordered calamari as a starter, it was good, with the right amount of breading and a nice marinara dipping sauce. However, the complimentary bread was more surprising....Read More

First time going to Alza Osteria. It's tucked inside a mini mall on the corner of Birch and Kraemer. When walking up it's not to much to be impressed, but walking in, it had a simple sleek look and feel. We were...Read More

We were craving pizza and wanted to try something new (to us). We'd seen the great reviews over the years and chose this small business to support. We couldn't decide which specialty pizza to try when the owner suggested we do half-and-half. ...Read More

Service and food were great on a Friday lunch. Eggplant parmesan was super tasty and warm, and a nice side salad. Left Alza Osteria feeling satisfied and eager to come back again.

My Teenage niece and her friends will eat here once a month after practice and they love the staff and the food. I have a job where I work with people and I understand it's impossible to please everybody and then sometime, some people just absolutely unreasonable. Bring the whole family here, they have high chairs for my little one and have always treated everyone with kindness. The Karens will take themselves out lol
