" I was disappointed with my latest visit to Zia Lisa. While the food has always been decent in the past, the quality seemed to have slipped this time. The pizza crust was soggy, and the toppings didn’t taste fresh. Service was alright, but the overall experience did not live up to the restaurant's earlier high standards. I'm hoping my next visit will be more favorable, as I've had good experiences in the past. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Italy for a couple of years, I can be picky about Italian food, but Zia Lisa truly impressed me! The pasta tasted homemade, and their marinara was rich and full of flavor. The staff were genuine and accommodating, really going above and beyond to ensure we were happy. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and have been back multiple times now. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zia Lisa is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving Italian food. The grandma pizza is out of this world—crispy crust and bursting with flavor! Plus, the ambiance is cozy and welcoming, and the owners treat you like family. I can't get enough of their desserts either; every visit feels like a little piece of home. Honestly, I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, Zia Lisa was a delightful experience! I was recommended this place by my friends, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was cozy, the food was fresh, and the prices were reasonable. I enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs which were delicious! I'll be returning soon to try their pizza based on what I’ve heard about it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Zia Lisa, and while there were good moments, there were too many misses. The pizza was average at best and underwhelming in flavor. The service was friendly but slow, and we waited too long for our food. The ambiance was nice, but it can’t make up for an uninspiring meal. Perhaps they were just having a rough day, but it was hard to overlook the shortcomings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a bit conflicted about Zia Lisa. While the atmosphere is lovely and the food had its moments, my pizza was a bit bland compared to what I was expecting based on the reviews. The service felt preoccupied, which made the experience less enjoyable. I’m not sure if I’ll return anytime soon, but I’ve heard lots of great things from others. " (*Curated Review*)

" I feel torn about my experience at Zia Lisa. The atmosphere was inviting, but the service was lackadaisical at best. The pizza was average; I've had much better elsewhere. I wanted to love this place based on all the positive reviews, but I left feeling let down. I'll consider revisiting, but I hope for a more consistent experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)
