ZAZA is a locally owned small business since 2008. Salute Little Rock.

This isn’t my usual part of town, but after receiving a gift card to ZAZA last Christmas, we finally made the trip. Navigating The Heights can be a bit of a challenge with tight streets, heavy street parking, and plenty of stop signs, but fortunately this location has its own parking lot tucked behind the building.
With the sign reading “Fine Salad & Wood Oven Pizza Co.”, we weren’t sure if we were underdressed, especially seeing people out front sipping wine and craft beers. (Also, calling their salads “Zalads” feels like a missed marketing opportunity.) Inside, though, it has more of a relaxed, walk-up feel. There’s limited seating downstairs and outside, with a larger eat-in area upstairs that we didn’t check out. The restrooms are located far in the back in an area that almost feels like you’ve wandered somewhere off-limits.
The menu is straightforward: pizzas, salads, and a separate gelato station. There’s no official “build-your-own” pizza option, though you could probably request omissions. We went with The Roman: Petit Jean bacon, sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella, and tomato sauce, a classic meat-lover’s combo. The pizza was $17, fountain drinks were $3.50 each, and our total came to $27 with a small tip.
About 15 minutes later, our pizza arrived. Fresh from the wood oven, it looked and smelled incredible. Size-wise, it’s comparable to a medium from a major chain. However, the amount of toppings and cheese was noticeably light, and the crust leaned heavily toward crunchy, which was par for the course. The flavor was excellent, but the portion left me still hungry. For the price, I expected a bit more substance. The wood-oven crust is really the main feature that separates it from what you’d get at an average Domino’s.

We were visiting from Texas and looking for a good pizza spot. The service was friendly. Food was great! The crust was *chefs kiss* delicious. If we lived here it would be a weekly spot for us.

Cool little pizza place serving up pizza, salads, and gelato.
We tried the Four Seasons and Zaza Italian Sausage. Both were very good. Great crust. Possibly a little on the crispy/burnt side but not by too much. It’s hard to tell from the photos.
It wasn’t completely full in there and pizzas took about 20-30 min to come out.
Got some cookies and cream gelato on the way out. It’s a nice serving size for the large.

The pizza was poor at best. Extremely thin (even for thin crust) with almost no sauce at all. Very dry. For a 4 cheese pizza, it was absolute bare minimum, a few shreds of whatever kind of cheeses and sprinkled Parmesan. Pizza was soaked in grease; it was pooled up in some areas. Excessive. Only had one slice. The atmosphere was surprisingly unkept. Wasn’t busy on a Monday afternoon. From arrival to just before leaving, multiple tables were covered with food/plates/cups/napkins from prior folks. Watched employees in the kitchen/food prep area eating while our food was being prepared. Food arrived in pretty quickly and nobody was rude. Won’t be going back.

This place is a surprise. From the outside is nice, but the inside is great. The attendants are kind and helpful, and the prices are not bad.
The salads are excellent, while the pizza, the crust of which is made out of semolina, is the best we have eaten in quite a while.
The Gelato, made on the premises, is fresh and excellent.
This place is worth the time and the dollars.

I was pleasantly surprised about the menu and quality of food. Got a fresh salad and meat pizza. The pizza was better fresh as the crust got very chewy when I I had leftovers later that day. It was good when first served! I would go back and try the other salads and pizzas! Small seating area indoors with additional seating upstairs.

The space was oddly cold inside, which was surprising with the pizza oven going. I got the Driftwood Mushroom Pizza — cheese was solid (a bit salty), and the pesto was flavorful but used sparingly.
The dough under the toppings was extremely thin — probably intentional, but I’m partial to thicker pizza bases, so it caught me off guard. The crust edges were fine, and the slight sweetness wasn’t bad, just not really my thing.
Pizza took about 60 minutes, which they quoted accurately. Mushrooms were standard. Wifi was surprisingly strong (~32 down / ~16 up), and the water was good with lemons available.
Overall, it had potential, but between the super thin base and light toppings, I wouldn’t go out of my way to return.

I’ve been eating ZAZA for years now. For a long time they had the best pizza in town (they lost that out to Raduno several years ago) and their salads are still great and I will certainly continue to order from ZAZA.
However, similar to the post I left October 28, 2024 for Heights Taco & Tamale (owned by same company, Yellow Rocket), the quality of the service has declined significantly over the past two years. ZAZA’s drop in service hasn’t been as bad as HT’s, but it’s not the same quality that ZAZA it used to be. As stated below, the different sections of ZAZA don’t seem to be talking to each other very well, so orders placed from one section (say the bar) don’t get communicated over to pizza or salads as efficiently as they should.
That being said, i came here to state one particularly egregious example that is unacceptable. I called in an order for eight pizza doughs which was accepted. However, when my wife came to pick up the pizza the staff did not have the order ready and in fact told her they couldn’t fulfill it. When my wife questioned it (after confirming with me) one of the employees (not the guy working the bar who was nice) was unnecessarily short with her, clearly told her the order could not be fulfilled and she must be mistaken about the order. She then made snide comments when my wife offered to call me to check if there were additional details she could provide to help locate the order. When we did provide the details (they needed my phone number even though i also gave my name) the order was there. Instead of apologizing or discussing the issue, the rude employee turned her back to my wife and began audibly complaining to the nice-bar-guy concerning who took the order in the first place (i.e., finding someone to blame for the problem). (Apparently the issue was that the bar did not communicate the order to pizza.) She then stormed off without making any effort to resolve the problem. Fortunately, nice bar guy was friendly and confirmed they would find a way to make the order work (and they did). There was no reason anyone should have been negative to any customer (and definitely not my wife under any circumstances).
I will say that I had a good conversation with the manager (I told her I would be posting something) and she did offer to pay for our meal which I declined. I am told there would be a conversation about professionalism and customer service which I hope occurs.
All said, this kind of thing is becoming a trend with the previously-great yellow rocket franchises.

Went here with a friend who believes their pizza is the best in the area (she has weird taste as she doesn’t like Hideway Pizza which has the best pizzas in the area). Service was go to the counter, tell them your order, go down the line and wait for your food. We ordered salads and a pepperoni pizza to split. My salad was OK but nothing to brag about. The pizza was dry, very little toppings and not much sauce. I’ve not been back but she continues to pay good money for sub-par food. To each his/her own.

Always delicious and fresh. The salads are hands down some of the best in the state. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. The wood fired pizza is to die for and then who doesn’t want fresh gellato afterwards? Must go!
