Sazza is a somewhat different farm-to-table restaurant. Unlike others, Sazza specializes mainly in salads and pizzas, and actually, that’s how it got its name (sa from salads and zza from pizzas). People who run the place have a rather planet-friendly attitude, and as such, they tend to source from organic and sustainable suppliers and farmers, but they also recycle, they use biodegradable materials, and they compost as often as possible. The place operates daily from morning till late evening, while delivery service is also possible.
