This place played a massive role in filling my belly with hot, cheesy pizza and that addictive ranch. I couldn't get enough of that crispy crust and that creamy, salty goodness dunked in ranch--pure bliss. Honestly, it's so good, I might have to go back for a midnight snack. No shame in admitting Sara's Pizza is my guilty pleasure! read more

The positive atmosphere is felt immediately because the staff seem to really enjoy their job and are pleased they serve some wonderful food! We were 8 family members varying in ages and everyone spoke highly of their choices. The service was so spot on you'll need to experience the pleasure and pride they take knowing you're going to have a great experience! With a full menu there's something for everyone to enjoy. Nice atmosphere. We really have no suggestions other than keep up the same momentum read more

First time trying. Got the Italian sub and spaghetti with meatballs. Sub was good, they were out of provolone so had to sub white american. Spaghetti with meatballs was really good. My only comment its a little pricey ($20 for spaghetti). Service was good and place is cute with neat outdoor seating read more

Great pizza. Local family restaurant. I always enjoy the pepperoni and mushrooms. Love the breaded mushrooms and salads.

Sara's is a good local restaurant. The food is good but some of their recipes are different than you might expect. Examples are their Caesar salad and the chicken marsala. Service is excellent and the staff very friendly. Overall not much on ambience. You can eat outside which is great when the weather cooperates; it's a covered area but too hot or cold can be the problem. Ownership of the restaurant is a caring individual. read more

Great food friendly staff nice setting pizza is amazing as is the pasta dishes. Restrooms could use a little bit of an upgrade.

Waited 20 minutes. No bad in my opinion. I'm Jersey born and raised, so let me tell you: This is definitely Jersey Pizza! It was almost spot on to a place called Mario's in Forked River NJ. The size of the pizza, the quality, taste, everything was amazing. If I ever return to New Bern, this will be my first place to go. read more

Sara's - Supreme Large (16") no sausage. - Pizza Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

Nice staff. Good food and prices. 4 stars because it is usually a long wait for your food. It is better to pick up or delivery.

I was so disappointed I had to make a yelp account to review this establishment. First and foremost the food was amazing, the kitchen staff seemed very lively and made all the food with love and passion. The person waiting our table was also very respectful and had excellent service with me and my wife. Our issue was with the owner of the restaurant and the way she was treating her employees. While me and my wife were waiting on the food I heard at least 2 loud altercations between her and other employees. She seemed to just bark orders at everyone and have no respect for anyone working at any station. I could hear her loud snarky comments from the lobby and it made me feel sympathy for anyone working under her. As an ex kitchen manager I held the well being and respect of my staff over anything. I was grateful to have them there and never wasted an opportunity to highlight their improvements. This lady who we later got confirmation from a staff member was the owner and was clearly not respecting anyone in that kitchen. My wife saw an interaction between her and a customer, where I believe they were unhappy with their food. She proceeded to be extremely passive aggressive to the customer and flushed anger towards the cook when she learned the food was made incorrectly. Thumbs up to everyone that prepared our meal but seeing the manager/owners tone and attitude towards her employees sickens me. My family were routine customers of big apple some time ago and I wanted to come try it out under new ownership but was met with disappointment when seeing the immaturity of new authority. If you are looking to try this spot out, I would be cautious and avoid a sour altercation from the childish owner. read more

Amazing pizza, amazing garlic knots. Staff was a bit slow but they were so friendly so there was a decent balance. Also, they ran out of spinach for our pizza, but added pepperoni (asked us first), so all was good. Wasn't the best New York style pizza I've had, but it was pretty amazing. If you're looking for good pizza and garlic knots, I recommend this place. We will be returning for sure. read more

Sara's - pizza with pepperoni and cheese - Pizza Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

Wings and pizza are really good! Loved their garlic parm wings. Easy to order on line and pick up!

The pizza and lasagna were very tasty. The service was not good. The lady asked if we needed another minute and didn't come back for a long time maybe 15 mins. The appetizers were smalls portions 6 poppers, 6 onion rings, and maybe 15 small fried mushrooms in an order. Took over an hour to get our main entree. Just two burgers, 1 pizza, and a lasagna. Seemed like they prioritized online orders over in person which is odd. The waitress seemed like she had better things to do than wait our table. My burger was decent but they didn't ask what cook I wanted and I suspect it was premade or frozen patty very firm. Inside of the place is small but cozy. There is art on the wall for sale. The bathrooms are dog and cat and were cute. read more

We ordered for delivery chicken alfredo. Good but too peppery Linguini with clams. Low on garlic but ok Caprese pizza. One slice dry but taste especially the tomatoes was very good. read more

This restaurant was highly recommended and I'm so glad my wife and I took the drive to enjoy the food in person. Appetizer: We ordered the pepperoni rolls which consisted of 4 large rolls filled with tasty cheese and pepperoni. It came with a side of delicious red sauce (assuming the pizza sauce). Entree: We ordered a BBQ chicken pizza which was perfectly cooked and "packed a punch" with incredible flavor with every bite! The positive: Many options on the menu! Great food and good prices. The negative: It is a little drive over the river from downtown New Bern. Be careful turning in and leaving the restaurant, as people tend to speed. Overall I will return here to try different things on the menu. P.S. BBQ chicken pizza tasted great still as leftovers. read more

Sara's - BBQ Chicken Pizza - Pizza Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

We had take-out pizza by the slice and there was nothing special about it. It was rather greasy and the crust wasn't crispy, but soft in the middle and tough around the edges. As for the service, they forgot to include one of the slices, so I had to go back to get it, fortunately just a few minutes drive. Sara's is one of the few restaurants on the north side of the river and gets business because of its proximity to Fairfield Harbour. But if you have the time and want better pizza, drive into New Bern, where there are more choices. read more

A male employee behind the counter provided me and other members of my family with wrong information and was abrasive several times. He also doesn't pay attention to order details. Overall the food is good. read more

We've ordered from here -delivery- twice and both times I was unimpressed. The second time was the worst! We tried again because the first time was so-so. The second time, The food was eh and the delivery service was lengthy. We were staying less than 5 miles from the restaurant and it took over 90 minutes to be delivered and it wasn't even a Friday or Saturday. When I called to ask what the hold up was the woman answered with "We're closed!" I had to interrupt her before she hung up to let her know I was still waiting for a delivery. Once we received the food the wings were barely covered with sauce and the pizza proportions seemed off - too much cheese, not enough sauce. The garlic knots were doughy and just covered in congealed butter - super greasy and slightly gross honestly. I won't give a third try - just not worth it. read more

Nice nice neighborhood place not expensive. Very good food very good service. Great parking and I've been there every time I visit my friends in New Bern. read more

Food was great along with the service! I had the bruschetta and the eggplant parm, both were delicious

Not much "atmosphere" but solid good food. Pizza for one, spaghetti for one,and a delicious fettuccine alfredo for me. Our server was very knowledgeable about their items plus she was fun and personable. The food came promptly at the correct temperature. The beer and wine lists were limited but a bottle of "grocery store" brand chardonnay was only $17.99 unlike many restaurants that will charge upwards of $30 for a type you can purchase for $9 from the grocery. We enjoyed our meals and opted for the cannolis that were offered with my Yelp check in for our dessert. SMART move--we went back the next afternoon to get a to go order of cannoli. DEELISH! There is ample parking on site with easy exit onto the highway leading to the restaurant. In such a remote area, outside of New Bern, it was quite nice to find a really good venue with so many choices of well prepare dishes. read more

We really enjoy going to this quaint little Italian restaurant. The food is delicious and the service is very friendly. This is becoming our close to home favorite place to go. I love the angel hair pasta and meatballs are good too. Heading now to lunch. read more

I had to fly down to North Carolina two weeks ago and gotten in rather late. Nobody felt like cooking, so we looked up pizza spots in the New Bern area and this place seemed to be well reviewed. I ordered over the phone and the individual taking my order was extremely friendly, took the order accurately, and had the food ready when we arrived. We ordered three extra large pies, and they were extra large. We only went with plain, as we're not big toppings people. The pizza like I said, was big, cheese was good, the sauce tasted good, and the crust was very good but could've had a bit more crisp. . This kind of reminded me like New York style pizza where I'm from and we enjoyed it. 4 solid stars on this pie. read more

Delicious pizza. Nice staff. There are a nice variety of options on the menu, but we specifically went for the pizza. Tasty!

Came with a group for a Wednesday night event. The staff was clearly busy but ensured the job got done.

My neighbor ordered food for delivery around 6pm and the order never showed up! I drove her to Saras as she had been drinking and was not about to drive and we get there just after 8pm (8:12ish). They were closed up tight! There wasn't a soul at the place and the lights were all turned off. I understand they close at 8pm. They could have at least given my neighbor a call. I hope they refund her money plus give her a free meal! That is just ridiculous! read more

Always delicious food and more than ample servings. Great bang for the buck and the staff are always friendly no matter how busy it is.

Absolutely love this place! Definitely recommend trying this place. Other than pizza, their other food choices are delicious as well. I always have trouble trying to decide what to buy, everything is so good! read more

Sara's - Yummy cheesy pizza! - Pizza Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

incredible! what a nice surprise a bit off the beaten path but incredible new york style pizza. and they offer provolone as an extra cheese option. will become regulars soon read more

InFirst time customers here and it was well worth the visit. We ordered the pizza sub and the Gyro. The food was very reasonably priced and tasted good. It wasnt the very best we've had but it sure was worth the money. The dining area was kinda small but it wasnt that crowded on this Wednesday night. Other reviews said they were slow serving. It took us 15 minutes to receive our meal. Not bad at all. I was very satisfied with the waitress too. The kitchen staff was certainly working hard. I could see them all running around back there. I would say this is a great little place that is a local hangout for the adult crowd. Well worth the stop and will definitely come back. read more

Sara's is one of our local favorites. Amazing pizza, subs, and pepperoni wheels! When friends or family come to visit, they always request a Sara's Pizza night and our guilty pleasure is at least one pizza night a week from Sara's. Also, the best ranch ever! read more

I really love this place!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pizza is so delicious and the people are very nice

On a recent trip to the area, I tried this place for a meal after a round of golf. I had the chicken parm hot sandwich, which was very tasty. I got the big size, which was very filling. Instead of the chips that come with the sandwich, I had an order of the Philly Fries. They were wonderful, and were almost enough for a meal by themselves. Service was good, and the place, while not fancy at all, was clean and neat. read more

I was a little nervous after the mixed reviews but the restaurant is right near the time share and we'd been driving all day and didn't want to venture further. The pizza was tasty and the crust thin and crispy. We ordered half cheese and half sausage. The sausage was mostly meat, very little fat. The highlight of the meal was the steak and cheese wedge with lettuce, tomato, banana peppers and mayo. Really good! read more

Not a great experience. Ordered a sausage parm sandwich with peppers and onions. Asked that the sauce be put on the side and no cheese. When I got home with it, there was no peppers or onions and the sausage or should I say lack of was dry. Pizza would be a 4/10. Ordered a calzone and strictly asked just for cheese. Well, there was ham in it and one of our family member does not eat meat. They did accommodate supplying us with plates and tin foil. read more

Very yummy food at reasonable prices. They do deliver to our subdivision which is a bonus since no other restaurants will. The cordon blue chicken is my favorite. read more

A great place to eat. It can be very busy at times. They have local artists works on display & for sale

We recently ordered their lasagna and a medium meat lovers pizza to go. Their food is very good and we enjoyed the leftovers the next day.

Due to recent surgery I've had to have food picked up or delivered. With two deliveries my orders weren't right, and they were subpar. However, I decided to try Sarah's big apple because my husband and I had eaten there in the past. I believe they have a delivery service, but my husband picked up our food. It arrived hot, my order was correct and the food was as good as it was the the other times, we'd eaten there. read more

Lovely people and delicious food. With Covid, there's a shortage of staff but they make up for it with the service and quality. The orders are always correct and doesn't come to you cold. You may have to wait a bit (short staffed) but it's worth it for authentic Italian cuisine. Cheers! read more

One New Yorker's opinion: Sara's Big Apple is wonderful. The pizza is excellent, love the Tuscan Pasta. Sara's special pizza is soooo tasty. The Philly Cheesesteak is awesome. Last but not least, the spinach/bacon salad is my favorite. The salmon/ spinach salad is my wife's favorite. The staff is always excellent, the restaurant is spotless. A real 10. read more
