Please know I do NOT enjoy leaving bad reviews, particularly for smaller, local places. I'm originally from Davis and have eaten at Zia's a plethora of times in the multiple decades I've lived here, and not much changes with them, from the lengthy lines to their menu. People continue to go, so there's not much drive to improve either of those things. They're on DoorDash now though, which saves your sanity from the craze of downtown, but not from Zia's lengthy waits. I genuinely don't know why they even allow DoorDash if orders are inconvenient for them, or place a limit on the amount of sandwiches one can order. We ordered 6 sandwiches at 130 on a Sunday, and it took 2 hours for them TO EVEN START MAKI. I called multiple times to ask if we could pick up our order, but the dasher was not the problem; they had not even started our food yet. I'm not trying to be rude, but there's nothing special about them to justify the wait, and nothing to justify why they didn't communicate the wait time clearly. It's my mom's birthday and we are still waiting for her food, really regretting getting sucked in by Zia's again, but wanted to leave the warning, if you have any remote time constraints, choose one of the million other restaurants here to eat at. To top it off, we had multiple incorrect items when our food finally did arrive.
