Saints at St. Matthew's Pizza & Pub - Mixed experience, great patio but food was hit-or-miss Stopped by with friends tonight for drinks and apps at the bar. The patio was open and it's honestly a solid spot for a relaxed evening outside. We started with apps and ordered a couple to share. I'd had the artichoke dip and smoked wings here before and enjoyed them, but the artichoke dip wasn't available today. The bartender recommended the buffalo chicken dip instead. The wings came out first and they were the highlight - super tender with a good sauce. The buffalo chicken dip, though, missed the mark for us. The chips tasted stale and the dip itself was overly salty with an off, old flavor. We ended up leaving most of it untouched. We also ordered a pizza later. It was average - tasted like a frozen crust and didn't have much flavor. Decent if you're hungry, but not something I'd order again. When we went to pay, I mentioned the issue with the dip to the bartender. I didn't get much of a response. The other bartender on shift just pointed out that half the plate was gone, which wasn't accurate since we barely touched the dip. The service felt dismissive, especially from the two bartenders working - one lady and one guy with long hair. The bottom line: I'd come back for drinks and to sit on the patio, but I wouldn't recommend the food based on tonight. Rating: 2/5 - great space, needs work on the food and service consistency. read more

Came here for trivia night, honestly say the quality has gone down & the food is not as flavorful as it had been the first time I had gone unfortunately. Got chicken Caesar salad and the chicken tasted burnt, I ordered spinach artichoke dip, but for some reason it wasn't as good as it once was. I ordered LIT twice and it was super sweet and not worth it. I'm a bit disappointed and the trivia was generalized for a specific age group. read more

My friends and I come here for Monday trivia, which we really enjoy. Otherwise I wouldn't come. Parking is always difficult. The food is OK. I appreciate the variety - including some healthy options - but every time I find myself saying that I'll try something different next time. People classify this as a sports bar, but I personally don't think there are enough TVs for that. Staff are hit or miss. Some aren't the friendliest or most attentive. read more

Stopped in for lunch while working in the area. My buddy and I split a large Meat Supreme Pizza. It was delicious and the bacon added some extra crisp to it. It was not crowded during lunch and our service was good. Looks like it would be a fun place to watch sports as it had plenty of TV's. read more

My Family & I Sat Out On The Patio. We loved it. The service was a little on & off. The food we got was pizza. We ALWAYS love their pizzas. But, their "other" products like sandwiches and such are also great there too. But, U just have to taste & see tho. read more

We were at this classic Louisville Pub for a trivia fundraiser. We were upstairs in the rental space. This place is a bit of a dive--in a good way. We had a great time and enjoyed the pizza and the, of course, drinks from the bar. The only bad thing I can say is that parking was a mess. It was a Friday night and I had to circle the place for 20 min to get a spot. Still, a great little place that everyone should visit. read more

Booked the Sky Bar at Saints to host an event and had the best experience! Saints has a straightforward booking experience with information available on their website. Booking was easy, our Bartender was Amber and she was wonderful dealing with a crowd of 40+ thirsty people! Great venue, great service! read more

Huge fan of this random dive! Our family friends have a second home in the area, and they said Saints was a MUST on our visit. I'm glad we listened because it was exactly what we needed after a busy day running around for tours. Super chill, tvs with options to watch, easy and cheap drinks. Bartenders were very nice and friendly. It's a classic dive in every sense, and I'm totally here for it. read more

Not bad. Went on a crowded Saturday afternoon to meet friends for the UofL-IU game. There were six in our group. Our server was very slow & inattentive at first, but picked it up after a few minutes and we didn't have to wait long for anything. Pizza and wings were solid. We don't go here very often but when we do, we enjoy the lively atmosphere. read more

I have been here a few times and now I'm just getting around to reviewing this place. They have a variety of different foods from burgers to pizza to wings. I have had their pizza a few times and it is very good. They also have special of the days as well. I had a hot ham and cheese sandwich on a hoagie on Easter Sunday and it's one of the best I have had. I also like the fact they have a good variety of local beer on tap and by can or bottle. This is definitely a great after work or just whenever you got time to be here. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. No complaints other than maybe trying to find good parking. read more

Miserable attitude, unwelcoming and crappy management. That combined with mediocre food is why I would never give them my business again. ***Do Not Recommend*** read more

I've gone to saints probably once or twice a month for the past 3 years. Consistently I have ordered the nacho and consistently it has been delicious. They also have the best water and very quick service. I haven't been to the Sky Bar yet so I can't comment on it but I'll get there. read more

Rude staff. I'm 48 and was carded... my son is 22, almost 23, and they wouldn't serve him because he has an out of state ID... I'm from IL... I don't know their policies. The waitress and manager were total bitches. We left. read more

Went once and will never return. The staff are terrible and you can find better food elsewhere.

Amazing! Had a bunch of beer on draft, and the pizza was delicious. We went with a large group celebrating a party, and the food was still hot, fresh, and fast. The service was great and well and very attentive. Highly recommend! read more

We decided on pizza and chose a visit to Saints. Despite March Madness games we found a table easily and sat ourselves. Our server came back quickly and took good care of us throughout the visit with soda refills. We ordered a small cheese sticks and it was super disappointing. Basically a small cheese pizza without sauce and extra seasoning, not the fluffy cheese sticks we were hoping for: Our large pizza was good to split. We got pepperoni (yum, thicker and crispy edges) and sausage (a bit spicier than we'd prefer). For $22, a bit average. Saints won't be at the top of our list for pizza. This spot is a long time St Matthews staple. Casual and divey with high and low-top tables plus bar seating. Space is available for rent upstairs. Be careful with parking as it's limited and each store has designated spots. You don't want to risk being towed! read more

Saints is decent place with a good atmosphere and great bar vibes. The patio is very spacious and dog friendly. The service was alright, when there is not a bartender outside you'll need to go in and place an order. The cheese bread is pretty great. If you've ever had cheese bread that bends over when you lift it, get ready for this. It's a perfect balance of crust and cheese and the marinara sauce is chefs kiss. The whole meal comes together well. The burger was good. I'm pretty plain so it's not hard to please me in that department. Overall would go back for a football game and a good patio spot! read more

Saint's is always a reliable place to hang out for some food and drinks. The food is okay, but there's nothing in particular on the menu that is great. Service is good and the patio is nice when the weather is good. The upstairs area is great for hosting parties for a reasonable fee. Parking can be challenging, so we usually Lyft there. Bathrooms are not so great, so I try to not use them there. Overall a good neighborhood sports bar. read more

I've been coming to the pizza bar-restaurant to watch Tottenham Hotspur games for almost four years, but every day it keeps changing because of the owners. They have a lazy and crazy attitude, and their service really sucks. The only trick to getting them to improve is telling them, but they call customers liars. Nobody comes to the bar just to sit and watch TV because everyone has a TV at home where they can watch the game. We always go to sit together with other supporters and have fun while supporting our club. Recently, it was a shock when I went to this place and was really mistreated by two ladies who claimed to be the owners. People come to the bar to have a good time, but all you get is bad attitude from the bartenders and owners. When you own a bar, you expect to serve people who come with different attitudes, but they all have one thing in common: they come to have a good time. When I walked in, I was happy and excited for my team's game and expected a nice smile and some conversation, but these ladies seemed unaware of what they're doing. They just vent their frustration on the people who come to have fun. When you call them out, they call you a liar. Of course, I was escorted out by the police because I was trying to buy a beer, but this lady with the attitude just smiled dismissively--maybe because I'm a foreigner or because I'm Black, I don't know. I just wanted to try and find out. Another lady, whom I thought would listen, instead called the police on me, and I was escorted out again. I tried to explain my point of view, but she attacked me. When I look at other reviews, they call everybody liars instead of saying they are trying to improve to the best of their ability and give every customer good service. Instead, they just attack. I was in shock, and she lied that I was escorted out because supporters pushed me. If you really want to tell the truth, I believe every bar has cameras; they should release the footage to show what really happened. They are just trying to cover their own mess instead of admitting fault and saying they will improve next time. This shows their character, and they should be checked by authorities in charge of licensing and inspecting restaurants to see if this place really follows protocols. It seems like these two ladies will collapse this place, which many laugh at, and they decided to ban me because they claimed I didn't want to buy anything. For four years, I've been coming here as a customer; I am not the only one who sometimes doesn't buy anything. Even if you don't want to buy anything, they could at least provide water for customers. Not everybody drinks alcohol; some drink water or juice. That would show good character and a smile so customers feel better and want to come again. You need to do better!!!! read more

I got into town early on Sunday for a business trip and wanted somewhere to watch NFL and found this place close to my hotel. There is plenty of seating at the bar as well as in the place and outside as well. The place has a laid back vibe while also friendly. I was served at the bar by Amber B. She was friendly, professional and thorough. I have a garlic allergy and she literally went back to the kitchen and got the kitchen's recipe book and looked through everything I wanted to order to make sure I would be ok. Seriously thorough. She was always on it to refill my drinks and the food was really good. They have a great beer selection and everyone was really friendly. I would definitely come back! read more

Food, service and ambitious was excellent. Not a quite place with lots of televisions on and music going on. Parking for handicap customers is available. read more

I've been going to Saints for more than a decade. I've watched teams take it all at Saints and I've watched my own team lose it all. Literally, they lost it all and haven't gotten it back. But even now, with a team that isn't worth watching, Saints continues to be a sports bar worth patronizing. The pizza is a crowd pleaser. It's extra cheesy. The sauce isn't overly sweet. The pepperoni is crispy and thick cut. The wings are juicy. The prices (drinks and food) are reasonable. They have a crave-worthy Greek salad. Seriously, it's delicious. It's $10. Saints is often crowded and loud. It still feels family friendly enough to bring my toddlers. The patio is huge. The upstairs (SkyBar) has a venue that I've frequented over the years for Latin dancing, Thanksgiving Eve parties, and even high school reunions. If you're looking for venue, it's worth checking out. If your team has a game and you're looking for the place to meet with friends and watch, Saints is perfect. The beer is cold. The service is good. The tabs are cheap. Mostly though, it has that certain sense of togetherness that makes fandom fun. read more

Solid pizza place located in the east end of Louisville. When I visited here I was in the area doing work and heard good that a about the pizza so stopped on in. I ordered a cheese pizza and it was pretty good. Nice cheese to sauce ratio and it hit the spot. The service and atmosphere there was pretty good and overall I enjoyed my Lunch break there. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and looking for a new pizza place to check out. read more

Great local bar for sporting events. They have a huge upstairs called SkyBar that can be rented out for a private event, but often is dedicated to the local big game (UK BB, Ohio State Football alumni club, Derby City Outlaws for World Cup etc.). The pizza and cheese bread are fantastic, you won't be disappointed, lots of gooey cheese. They also have a single 1/4# cheeseburger with fries for $7! Talk about an inflation fighter (make it a double for 11). Beer selection is always great with craft and domestics, in varying sizes including pitchers. Titos drinks are $5 all the time. Make it a group outing or sit at the bar for the next event (outdoor patio is available too). read more

Solid pepperoni pizza! Nothing spectacular about it and nothing to write home about but it's decent when you're hungry! You order at the bar but they're pretty attentive to customers. I had walked away to chat with friends and the waitress came over to let me know the pizza was ready. I appreciated that she took the time to do that! It looks like a regular sports bar inside. Tons of TVs. Lots of families too. Kind of a low key place. It was a Thursday afternoon but it never got overly busy. Parking around here is interesting. There are parking spots but for the most part, parallel might be your best bet. read more

I've been coming to Saints for almost 20 years. When they're on their A-game, it's honestly hard to beat this place. The burger, the wings, the hand-breaded chicken tenders.. the cheese bread, the pizza. All of these items are enough to drive the extra mile or two past my neighborhood watering hole and over to Saints. Bruce is one of the nicest, hardest working guys around and the fact that most of his staff (Amber, Kelly, Jamie, etc.) have been there for years and years attests to the fact that he takes care of his people. I love supporting this spot above the chains and other establishments where that isn't the case. Another reason I keep coming back here is their pricing. Everything on the menu is fairly priced. Yeung-ling is always cold, well carbonated, fresh tasting, and downright cheap. The only nitpick is there are occasional consistency issues that pop up here and there, but the same can be said for almost anywhere. For example, the last couple of times we got cheese bread, there was literally so much cheese on the cheese bread that the crust was saturated with cheese grease and not in a good way. That was a few months ago, so that may have been a temporary kitchen issue. Support your local establishments, folks! read more

The best pizza and smoked wings in town! The smoked wings are great but the Halo sauce makes them awesome! We eat here every time we visit the area. It's a usually a pretty busy place which confirms that others think it's great as well. They do have an upstairs seating area that has also been open when we have been there. read more

Definitely take care of customer during the pandemic and check everyone coming in. Social distanced and cleaned after and sanitized after someone left. All wearing masks unless seated and eating/drinking. Met owner and he is one hell of a guy. Nice conversations and staff made you feel welcome and special. Smoked wings were great as usual. Pizza was also very good! Everyone had a good time a were as safe as could be in these trying times. Restaurant looked out for safety of its guest and still had fun. Packer game or not; great place to come! read more

Great pizza and great service. I'd recommend saints pizza to anyone I know looking for a nice thin crispy crust and heavy on the toppings. They know how to do it right here especially for a topping whore like me :) Also with plenty of staff working, the food comes out fast and piping hot. As far as the atmosphere it's about as good as it gets on game days. Make this your go to place to catch a game and have some food quality eats. The more I write about it the more I'm craving it. Maybe this time I'll get more than just a pizza & try an app or two read more

Short and sweet. The burger sucked. The fries were good. The cheese sticks fucked, the meaty calzone did too. There is no sweet tea, but the wings were yummy. The flat bread was a delight, but the non-cash surcharge made me wanna fight. Too many great restaurants and bars that don't upcharge to use a credit card. Saints is good, but it would be better to raise prices across the board than to discriminate against credit card users. read more

My wife and I stopped in here one evening for a quick bite to eat and listen to some live music that they were showing at the time. It was pretty good little place in the walk-in believe we got a couple beers and got a pizza both are pretty solid had a guy playing acoustic guitar and singing at the front of the stage so we had a good time Definitely worth checking out read more

Well this was an unpleasant experience. My friend and I decided to grab a quick bite before going to an event. Neither of us had been to Saints so we wanted to give it a shot. We walked in and waited for someone to tell us to either sit ourselves or show us where to sit. We walked over to the bar and asked and she told us to sit ourselves. The building was packed due to the games on TV so finding a spot was difficult. The only table we found had darts, wet spots and shot glasses on it. Since it was the only table open, we stuck with it. Our waitress came over with the most unpleasant look on her face. She didn't seem like she wanted to be there at all. The first thing she said to us was "How long do you plan on being here?" Not the first thing you want to hear. We told her we just wanted to eat and plan on leaving. She then said "Okay because there is a party coming in later". I hope you asked other people that and not just us. It just gave off an unwelcoming vibe and we just felt like an inconvenience. We decided to order something small because at that point we just wanted something to hold us over and leave. I went with the nachos. They were good, just not anything to really rave about. I had high hopes for Saints but the service is what killed it. I absolutely hate writing bad reviews because I feel like I'm screwing people over. I would attempt to try it again to see if it can change my opinion but right now it's not the best. Sorry! read more

I was really hoping to get a lot more out of Saints Pizza Pub. From the vibe I get, it seems like it *could* be a nice hangout to watch a game and grab a beer. It's a very relaxed environment, some sitting at tables, some standing around mingling and some playing darts. A friend and I came here around 5 on a Saturday and had a pretty unpleasant experience. When we walked in there was no one or nothing that directed us what to do. Do we seat ourselves? Do we wait for someone? The bartender looked at us a couple times and looked away. We eventually walked up to her and before we could get a word out, she said "You can just seat yourselves." It was very packed, which was understandable since an Ohio State game was going on. Almost all of the tables were taken and a few were reserved. We found one table that was still wet and had darts on it, but since it was the only one we just made due. A few minutes later our server came up with a sour look on her face. "How long are you guys going to be here?" She asks. We tell her we're just here to eat. "Okay good, because we have a big party coming later." You could imagine the unwelcome feeling I got from that. What are those reserved tables for? Um, thanks for making me feel like a huge inconvenience? It definitely put a sour taste in my mouth after that. I honestly didn't even want to order a pizza or anything big because I feel like they were just waiting for us to leave. I just went with an order of buffalo chicken dip, which was good, nothing out of this world but enough to fill my stomach. I probably would have went somewhere else instead, but my friend and I were on a time constraint to get dinner. That was enough to advise me that I will not be coming back to Saints. read more

I have been going to Saints on and off for years and it is has many great qualities but the food can be hit or miss. One of the best things about this spot is Thursday night salsa dancing upstairs at Sky Bar. All levels are welcome and they usually do a little lesson at the beginning. It is also a great place to watch sports and grab a cocktail. If you are looking to have dinner- I love the Greek salad with chicken or a flatbread pizza. They have a fun outdoor bar area when the weather is warm. read more

My hubs and I dropped in for a last New Year's celebration and some football. Not too busy as we arrived mid afternoon. Service was prompt and friendly and we were soon sipping cold suds while waiting for our order of cheese bread to arrive. We were delighted with the presentation of crispy, cheesy and perfectly salty bread. We also indulged in a Deluxe pizza. It was a perfect choice; thick slices of pepperoni on top of generous portions of fresh veggies, meats and cheese. So delicious. read more
