Eatzi's Market & Bakery is definitely a great find that my husband and I discovered while visiting this part of Dallas (we were across the street at La La Land Kind Cafe earlier). We popped into this Italian market on a Thursday, around 7 pm.
As soon as we walked in, we smelled some amazing bread baking (the entrance is right next to the bakery). This market has some really great meal options that you can get. From the chef's case with premade sides, pasta salads, entrees, etc, to the grill where you can order some made to order hot food. You can also get a sandwich and/ or salad made to order. There is also a create your own pasta area with different types of noodles, toppings and sauces to choose from.
In the back of the store is the chef's corner where there are many options of premade meals that you can grab for dinner or lunch. Surprisingly not just Italian meals and American meals, but also Asian. I do want to note that one of the best deals of this market is the red dot sale. The red dot sale is where you can purchase buy one, get one free premade meals in the chef's corner. It seems like the time of this sale varies, based on other fellow Yelp member's reviews. But when I visited this store, there was a sign that informed me that it occurs about 15 minutes before closing. If I lived closer, I would probably come here all the time, before closing.
Anyways, on this visit, we ended up purchasing:
Chicken meal, $13.99 prior to tax- My husband picked this for his dinner that we were going to eat back at our AirBnB. This enree came with chicken, rice pilaf and a good portion of green beans. I had a bite of his chicken and liked the herb flavor. My husband thought this meal was pretty good and filling.
Korean BBQ Chicken Lettuce Wraps, $11.99 prior to tax- I opted for something on the heathier side with these lettuce wraps. I was surprised how much food this was. There was definitely a lot of chicken and felt like I had a large salad for another meal after putting together a few lettuce wraps to eat. In addition to Boston bibb lettuce (which I prefer over iceberg lettuce for wraps because they hold better, are tastier and have more fiber) and chicken, this meal also came with shredded lettuce, broccolini, shredded cabbage, chopped peanuts, sliced cucumbers and a side of sauce.
Banana cream pudding, $5.99 prior to tax- Consumed a few days after purchase, this pudding was very, very sweet. I don't know if I would buy this again because of how sweet it was. I do like banana cream pudding and know it is supposed to be sweet but I think whoever made this may have been heavy handed with the sugar and double the amount for whatever the recipe called for.
Bread Pudding: $4.99 prior to tax- This was also consumed a day after purchase. I really liked this dessert. It was perfect with the cinnamon, plumped grapes and side of sauce (although you didn't need the sauce because it was just perfect as is). I heated my piece in the microwave, which I would recommend doing because it was fantastic. I would definitely buy this again.
--------------------------
(Total= $40.01 after tax)
The prices are definitely on the high side, but I think the quality of the food warrants the price.
Please note that there is an outdoor, covered patio that has heaters and also coverings if it rains or is very windy, so you are protected, if you wish to dine in.
The next time I am in town, I will definitely be visiting Eatzi's. In fact, it may be the first place I stop by when I land in Texas (or even better if I come to take advantage of the red dot sale).
