Sauce Pizza & Wine

Hadn’t been here in about year… New staff. Very friendly! I have been coming to Sauce for the lady 5 yrs. I go to the location on 7^th str & Glendale. Love that they know what I’m going to order before I get to the counter :)

Omg, gluten free, egg free pizza!!! It is such a treat to come here and be able to have pizza. They also have amazing green salads. The crust and sauce flavor aren’t quite to 5 star level… a bit too sweet and lacking in Italian spice goodnees, but definitely one of the better gf experiences I’ve had.

I just wanted to say how extremely disappointed I am with my order. I placed an order for delivery and first off I ordered the supreme pizza and only got a pizza with mushrooms and onions. Second I ordered the broccoli cheese and chicken pasta with extra sauce, well there’s no extra sauce and the pasta is undercooked. Every time I pass by this restaurant it looks so intriguing and thought I would get something at least decent but this uncooked pasta???
Very disappointed customer

My friend and I ate have eaten here a few times, and we’ve always had excellent service. I love that they offer Kale Salads now and that alone deserves four stars. I’ve never tried any of their pizzas, so I can’t comment on the quality or the pizza tastes. I’ve always gravitated towards the salad selection. I don’t care what other Unilocalers say! 4 Stars in my opinion.

This place was really good. Only four stars because we got it delivered via Postmates and can’t comment on anything about the restaurant itself. But the food was really flavorful. We had the pesto bruschetta, a pizza, the quinoa-​beet-​arugula salad, and some kids’ noodles. Everything, including the dessert cookie, was devoured happily. Great food for sure.

We go there at least once a week. The prices are reasonable, the portions are good and the food is excellent. Additionally, the service is excellent. Definitely make this part of your regular restaurant rotation.

Great service, great food, relaxed atmosphere. Pizza cookie with gelatin was on point. Definitely a place I will recommend and return to. Thank you Sauce for a wonderful experience.

We ordered dinner for pickup from here last night (¹¹⁄₃₀) and had a really good experience thanks to missy at the register (don’t know her name). My guy and I thought about eating there, and we would’ve if it wasn’t so busy… It was ok tho, we enjoyed dinner at home with our puppies.
Ordered soup, salad, pizza and Mac n’ cheese. Total came out to be slightly over $ 25. What a steal! Apparently, Sauce has a special going on for the holiday season where you buy a $ 25 gift card and you’ll get $ 5 for free! I LOVE FREE!!!
Missy at the register suggested we get the gift card to use towards our dinner and that way we’ll get $ 5 for free. Had no idea that was going on if it wasn’t for her, and we absolutely appreciate her taking really good care of us. She was very sweet, smiles a lot, and seems to really enjoy her job! She radiated a lot of good energy for being up since 4am.
I’ve been here many times and each visit has been very pleasant. Food is great, service is excellent EVERY SINGLE TIME! Thanks for always being on point. We love our neighborhood, and the restaurants on this side of town. Thank you for always taking such care of those that take care of you, Sauce!
P. S. I would really like to recommend the winter roasted vegetable salad, it’s the bomb! Mac N’ Cheese not my favorite. Other than that, Sauce is a great place to enjoy dinner and it’s good on the wallet too!
Happy holidays!

Consistently amazing Italian food. This is not Olive Garden or Applebee’s level of quality– this is very decent quality food. They appear to use wholesome ingredients and their wood-​fired pizza is the bomb dot com!!!

Tried it for the first time. I ordered their panini .the meats were very salty. ithe place is average at best

They have great food, the service was great! I got a pizza with meatball, and pepperoni and that was probably the best pizza I’ve ever had.

Sauce = dinner on a Tuesday night; it is fast, affordable, and satisfying fare for a weekday. The tomato soup and Caesar salad are excellent. They are very generous with bread rolls, which are delicious! The lasagna is great if you’re a beef eater. You have to recognize Sauce for what it is– fast pizzas, salads, and sandwiches in a casual dining atmosphere. If you’re expecting gourmet or «Bianco-​esque» pizza, you’re at the wrong place.

I hadn’t been to Sauce since Fox sold it. Ordered my usual sausage pizza, no cheese (due to a food allergy), extra sauce. There was sauce in the center of the pizza but nowhere else — do they know the meaning of extra sauce? The sausage tasted different. I got a sore throat and an upset stomach soon after so my guess is that there was dairy somewhere in the pizza or in the extra sauce container that they gave me on the side since the pizza was more white than red. Won’t be going back.

My first time here. I spent 9.75 on a pizza my friend and I shared. I was super impressed. Loved the pizza and the service. I will return with more friends :)

Love the food here. Great service, too. My favorite is the rosemary potato pizza, with pesto chicken added.

The kid who took my order was lost all the way through my slow deliberate explanation. Then a few minutes later the supervisor calls me back to double check the order that was way wrong. They said 15 min. We get there 15 min later and our pizzas are not in the oven. The first one is tossed in and the girl doing the tossing giggles and points out something to her coworker. Meanwhile a friend is there and I lose my train of thought and forget about the incident. I get home and this (pic posted) is the pizza that earned a giggle but NOT a remake. Keep hiring children who don’t take employment serious sauce! It’s great for business.

I was passing by 7^th Street and Glendale with an itch on my tongue for something sweet. Should I run into Safeway and deal with the multitude of aisles and lin– hey there’s Sauce! I’ve yet to try their desserts.
It was already late and only a few tables were occupied. More importantly there was no line at the register. Score! Let me just pop in there and grab a cookie.
During a prior visit, an amigo of mine told me the cookies were good. It looked good in his hand, too! So on this particular night when the cashier informed me that a batch of their triple chocolate chip cookies had just gone into the oven, I decided to wait the 20 minutes or so that it would take for them to finish baking.
And how yummy would it be to have one freshly out of the oven? Right? Right? Am I right? Ooh, I could hardly wait.
Fast forward… to my utter disappointment. What the heck happened? You call that a cookie? I think (maybe) someone got the recipe wrong. For the customers’ sake, I’m hoping it was a simple recipe mistake.
I don’t cook, so I understand how difficult all the mathematics of a recipe can be. A tablespoon here, a teaspoon there, here a half cup, there a quarter cup, everywhere a whole cup. Maybe whoever made the dough that evening put too much or not enough of something.
The dough was so oily it could not even hold itself together. And I don’t think they use butter. Butter doesn’t feel like that. This was, this was… sad. Just sad. I didn’t even put it into my mouth. The oily residue on my fingers probably would have worked wonders rubbed into my dry wintered skin, but inside my gut. No thanks.

I am a regular at Sauce and have had many dishes. Every time the food has been fresh and made in a timely manner. Also enjoy the atmosphere of the place. Could be a little more friendly with the bread rolls. Overall have had solid experiences at Sauce.

Not bad for fast casual Italian. A step above the likes of Fazoli’s and Pizza Hut.
Their pizza is thin and light, so you won’t feel the «ball of grease» effect that you can get after richer pizza. On the downside, they’re also a little light with the sauce and cheese, as the crust cannot take as much as a pan or Sicilian crust.
The flatbread sandwiches are decent and good for lunch or a lighter meal. The turkey, salami/​ham, and meatball are all a step above Paradise Bakery’s glorified «cracker» flatbread and Subway’s lackluster options. I’m not a big fan of the pasta, but my family likes it. The lasagna wasn’t spectacular, but was a solid 3.5÷5.
The potato chips used to have a lovely Parmesan garlic garnish, which was eliminated. Now they just grab chips from what looked like the same Sea Salt flavor of Cape Cod chips Costco sells. I’ve also had them forget to pack my chips once.
I did not care for the Nutella trifle (not a fan of the slippery banana slices), but their cheesecake is nice, and their cookies are excellent with tons of white and milk chocolate chips and obviously lots of butter in the dough.
Call-​ahead orders make takeout lunch orders pretty easy. Gotta love convenient parking too!

They have gluten free items labeled on the menu, but even though they have a ton of veggie options, the vegetarian/​vegan options are not labeled so we had to ask about everything and held up the line. If they had things labeled as vegan, they’d get 5 stars because the food and service was good and they were very accommodating regarding our «allergies.»
Order: Roasted winter vegetable salad, dressing on the side. No other changes. Quinoa, beet, & arugula salad with no goat cheese, and balsamic on the side. Build your own pizza, hand stretched crust, red sauce, olives, asparagus, and spinach. All vegan.
Tip: order extra red sauce if you get a pizza with no cheese.
The Roasted Winter Vegetable salad is almost exactly like True Food’s autumn/​winter salad — yum!

Maybe I’m spoiled and expect too much out of pizza restaurants, but for some reason I just wasn’t impressed with this place. It was my first time at a Sauce restaurant too. I think I’m just not a fan of the «pei Wei» style ordering. I want to sit and have a waiter/​waitress come to me.
The food was eh. I got the Mac and cheese side, which is pretty big for a «side» and the basil, fontina, and Mozzarella pizza. It was ok; nothing to rave about.
Prices are good. Cheap and reasonable.
I wouldn’t dismiss this place if someone suggested it, but I won’t be recommending it.

My favorite pizza toppings are mozzarella and basil and Sauce answers my pizza needs with toppings and excellent crust. The staff was friendly, it’s clean, the prices are agreeable and you can get a Peroni while you wait for your pie.

Salads are great. But it seems the profit margins have been boosted by shrinking the portions. Order for take away get far more. Order it for eating in and it shrinks.
The service is fantastic. They are not getting tips but kept on checking how we were. If they could top up out iced teas. Excellent service.
Ps. Actually maybe the portions are fine. Making them a little smaller worked perfectly. Great place

Been to Sauce a couple of times, and just realized that I haven’t done a review for this location! We’ve had a couple of different things from here. During one of our visits we decided on two different specialty pizzas to try out and I have to say that it was more than enough for the two of us and then some. We ended up boxing up a couple of slices from each of them and taking it home with us.
Next go-​round we were more well informed and decided on sharing a pizza with half and half toppings so we could both get the style we like most, but still share. Since we were sure to share the main dish, we were able to get the Tiramisu for dessert.
There isn’t much interaction with staff at these locations after your initial order at the front cashier. Someone brings out your meal, but drinks and all else are up to you. The cashiers on both visits were nice enough and seemed to move the line quickly.
Overall: B+
Definitely A-​OK!

Had a great pasta dish
(chicken, broccoli, with mozzarella sauce)
Actually very good.
Only complaint I could say was listening to the cook and his annoying whistling.

Sauce was a delightful place to enjoy lunch with friends after a grueling hike up Piestewa Peak.
I have been really impressed with all of the other Fox Restaurant Concepts, so I was excited to finally try Sauce and see if it was on par with the others. Short answer: YES, this fresh Italian restaurant has something unique and delicious to offer!
It’s not on the menu, but here’s a little secret a friend shared: You can create your own half and half lunch combo! I ordered a half salad and bowl of soup which was perfect!
The Tuscan Tomato Soup was warm, full of flavor and perfect for dipping the complimentary warm bread roll.
The Golden Beet Salad with Quinoa, pistachios, avocado, goat cheese and other amazing goodness was in a word DELICIOUS! Seriously, if you like beets — you have to try this salad! You can thank me later ;)
The service here was great. Staff were friendly — even came over to ask how our hike was and about my friend’s FitBit fitness band. They even gave us an extra bread roll to enjoy later with our leftovers.
I’ll definitely be back! There’s just too much good stuff on the menu — I want to come back and try it all!
