Zia Pizzeria and Café - Artisan Pizza Menu

We love it when people write about us, perhaps it is because it is almost always positive. Below you will find some things that Laurie Higgins wrote in the January 27th edition of the Cape Cod Times:

Husband-and-wife team Rik and Caren Morse have created a cozy little eatery at Zia Pizzeria & Café in the Windmill Plaza in East Orleans. The Tuscany-inspired décor with tall booths, copper topped tables and antique appliances is warm and inviting and the food, all made from scratch, is delicious and affordable.

The menu includes artisan pizzas, calzones, specialty sandwiches and salads, homemade soups and a “pasta classic” winter value menu item each night. We decided to try a little bit of everything and the plastic forks were flying as we sampled each other's food.

The chicken and wild rice stew ($3.50 a cup) was as hearty as the name suggested with bits of tender chicken, chunks of carrots and plenty of wild rice to stick to your ribs. A blend of herbs added nice flavor, but it needed a little extra salt. The accompanying corn muffin was moist and sweet.

I'm a sucker for a Cuban sandwich and for $7.95, Zia's did not disappoint. The ciabatta roll was piled high with tender pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, piquant slices of dill pickles, and spicy mango mustard. The accompanying red-and-green cabbage slaw with shredded carrots was slightly sweet and truly delicious. The sandwich also came with a bag of Cape Cod Potato Chips.

We brought my mother to dinner and she ordered the “Down on the Farm” pizza ($14 for a small, $19 for a large). The crust was thin and chewy with a delightful crunch of cornmeal. It was a red pizza topped with chicken, applewood smoked bacon and mozzarella cheese and then drizzled with ranch dressing. She enjoyed it so much, she declared it her new favorite pizza spot.

The enormous meatball calzone ($7.95) our son ordered received a similar rave. The crust was awesome
