My boss took our team out for lunch last week for our department holiday party. Zza's was wonderful. It was my first time, and the food was great. They have the best shrimp pasta I've ever had. ... more on CitySearch

The Munchie Man ZZA'S has great food, great wine, and a really cool view of the lake. I am still licking my fingers from the especial pizza with smoked bacon, mash potatoes, truffle oil and zucchini. The ZZAS light sign that blinked ... more on CitySearch
