Za’s most popular item isn’t even of the menu, the “half with garlic roll.” It sounds innocuous enough but it’s a small piece of genius; instead of discarding the leftover dough from half-orders, husband-and-wife owners douse it in garlic-butter, sprinkle it with cheese and roll it up into an aromatic appendage to your pizza (it’s looks like a pizza shaped like the letter ‘D’). A menu of standards and a vegan pie is brought to life by creative signatures (Oh Canada: maple syrup, mozzarella, bacon, potato chips) and monthly specials (like Pumpkin & Speck: pumpkin puree, bufala, Grana Padano, speck, arugula, maple mascarpone, roasted pumpkin seeds) that fly out of hickory-smoke-breathing ovens at this fast-casual favorite. Come on the right day, and there may even be a dessert pie on offer (strawberries & cream: mascarpone, strawberries, maple, mint).
