Za's Pizza Pub

Za's has one of the best pizzas in Louisville. The Garden Za is usually our go-to pizza, and we always get cheesesticks (which is basically a delicious sauceless cheese pizza with the sauce on the side).The employees are very friendly. We usually sit at the bar when possible. The bar stools are difficult to get into, but very comfortable once you are seated. The beer selection is amazing...so many international beer options! And a nice selection of draft beers.They also have a full bar with lots of liquor options.There are gender specific bathrooms. The women's bathroom is clean and has two stalls. It's a little dark and kind of awkward getting in and out. Parking in the Highlands can be a challenge, but there are usually side street parking options if there are no spots on Bardstown Road.They have televisions that only show sports, and there is usually music playing.Since it is a pizza place, there are times when lots of children are there. There is a back room that is usually peaceful when the front of house gets too loud. And there's a pool table back there. The only thing I would love for Za's to change is the ceiling fans and lighting. When sitting at the bar, there is a constant strobe light effect from the fan passing in front of the lights. This makes me dizzy and could be very unpleasant for someone with sensory processing or light sensitivity issues.Overall, I highly recommend Za's! If you have never been, you should definitely check it out.

The service was fine and very friendly. However the food itself isn't very great. The dough on the cheese sticks and the calzone is so bland, there's zero flavor to it. The calzone was so thick and with the bland dough, a lot of it was inedible. We won't be back unfortunately. Nice bartender though so maybe just go for the drinks.

Pretty classic pizza place vibes at Za's. Seems a bit frozen in time. It's definitely a little gritty and is extremely casual. The pizza itself is average and service is OK.

Long ago it felt like we came to Za's 2x/month and this continued for several years until we burned out. I'm sorry Za's, we'll be back soon!We came on a Saturday afternoon and our party of 8 easily got a table. Exactly how we remember, Za's lighting was dim and the windows were open. It was a bit warmer and we all felt a little flushed by the end of the meal. More air flow was needed. The breadsticks were amazing! A large amount, each one big, nicely seasoned and the marinara was flavorful. The cheese sticks were okay but didn't get me as excited.We had three pizzas amongst us and everyone chose a pick your own for toppings. Be warned that asking to split toppings on half the pizza is a charge for each one, despite using less. Service was friendly and fast. Our tickets got a bit jumbled and were fixed. Street parking. Many meters must be paid on the main strip, excluding Sundays.

ZA's pizza is a must and it's always delicious. There's a reason it's been around for so long.

This has been our go-to neighborhood pizza place for many years. They have a great gluten-free crust, choice of thick or thin, both are great. I love the veggie pizza. Service is always fast and friendly!

Za's pizza pub is a as the name suggest a pizza and bar located in the very popular highlands neighborhood of Lousiville Kentucky just off the main strip of Bardstown road. Like most highland establishments they do not have a private parking lot so you will have to street park. Today me and my family finally got to visit this place when bringing our daughters for some after the first day of school pizza. We walked in and it said please wait to be seated. There was a line at the bar and only one guy. After a few minutes he eventually told us "sit anywhere you like". I am about 99.9 percent positive this poor guy was the only one there. Because walking back to the bathroom you can see wide open in the kitchen and nobody was back there. And after the toll our order he was in the kitchen until we got our food. That said the guy did what he could. Very nice and for being bar tender/waiter/host/cook he was pretty darn efficient. The interior here is pretty small. Not much space. It has a pub type decor and a very nice bar setup.For our order we started with two apps. Buffalo wings and cheese sticks. My wife ordered a garden salad and we got a large cheese pizza and medium pepperoni pizza. The Buffalo wings were very good. Nice and tender and large. Good tasting sauce that wasn't overly spicy. Good app. The cheese sticks was a bit of a swerve. On our heads we was thinking mozzarella sticks but being a pizza place we probably should of thought "this is cheese bread". Regardless it still had great flavor and the cheese on it had a good flavor that was very different from the cheese pizza. So that way it didn't feel like we got two of the same things. The cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza were very good pizzas. Nice firm and thick crust and great tasting cheese. They really load up the pepperoni with toppings. Which is cool but I avoided it because heart burn is a real struggle for this guy and too many pepperonis. Sauce also had good flavor. Overall it's a pretty good slice of pizza. Kinda smaller pieces though. My only major complaint is there plates are super tiny. Like you couldn't get more then one slice on the plate. On actually tried and fumbled my slices on the floor and dropped a few f bombs. But it ok we still had leftovers for supper that night. Overall cool place. I bet it has a really good and fun night vibe for drinking and eating some slices. They have boozey popsicles which sounds appealing to me. Maybe I'll come without kiddos one day and sample the pub portion.

Myself and 3 best friends are trying to find the best pizza in Louisville. This place ranked 12 of 18 here's why:Come here for the pub atmosphere and service, not specifically for the pizza. We got the pepperoni and blanco za's and both were very average za's. Nothing special, but nothing lacking. We gave the pizzas a 6.8/10 rating. We spent the evening playing darts and pool and loved every minute of being here, we just didn't love the pizza.

Za's has been my favorite pizza joint in Louisville for at least a decade. Their pizza is amazing, nice beer collection with good draft choices, and a full bar. The bartender/ waiters are very friendly and helpful also. I personally enjoy sitting at one of the tables outside so I can enjoy my food and ppl watch.

I have been frequenting this restaurant for about 15 years. It is always carry out. The service has always been excellent.All the pizzas that I've tried here are delicious.Excellent food which is value for money. I typically have to wait for a couple of minutes as I pick up my order, and I have noticed that the atmosphere in the restaurant is always excellent, it is neat and tidy, they have several large screen televisions for viewing, and everybody there is typically having a good time. The bar always has some people sitting there and enjoying their drinks.I would recommend this place highly in terms of food, service, and it's atmosphere.
