The cuisine here is just as legendary as it looks! Everything is homemade (which can be tricky to find in restaurants). The staff is unbelievable (especially Chelsea!). It is a 5 star restaurant experience with insurmountable beverage options and incredible patio seating and a fun bar inside. Cannot go wrong here. You will be SO happy you visited! A million/ a million! read more

They offer delicious gluten-free calzones! It was a great experience. The waiters are knowledgeable about the items offered and the speed of service was great. read more

This is a great spin on the make your own pizza (but with a calzone)... but ramped up another level with creative stylings from the team. The ideas like Figgy Piggy seem intriguing, but then deliver on the promise that they knew what they were doing. Each time they push the envelope, they deliver on taste. For instance, in January, they have a Sausage Scramble. This breakfast calzone includes eggs, cheese, potatoes, sausage, and seasonings. The included maple gravy butter makes this great dish perform on a new platform altogether. We tried this, and found this was even better than it sounds.... We all expressed wishes that was year round. My wife and I both have our favorites (with our own tweaks), and we are recurring customers. The Caesar salad rocks, the S'mores, the ingredients, and the dedication to making it right. We've also been to the other location near Chesterfield Mall, and it's equally impressive. If you're unsure, give it a chance... read more

This was my first time ever going to one of these. I actually didn't know it was a chain until I went in. They had a great menu with many options. We picked 3 and all split them. All were AMAZING!!! The amb read more

I have a gluten allergy so I check menus before going. Was delighted to see there were GF options! For Calzones! Met a friend, went to the counter to order only to be told they didn't have GF. It wasn't offered if they were just out or they never stock it. Ordered a salad. Greens were fresh but the nicest thing I can say about the vinaigrette is that it was wet. No flavor. read more

The salad is great but wayyy too much dressing. The calzones are good. Nothing to write home about but it's a different form of Italian fast food which is nice. read more

Recently we spent a week in Lake St. Louis to visit family for the holidays. I was overwhelmed with all of the chain restaurants available there, but Sauce on the Side was such a good find! Will have to keep this in rotation for our next visit. What they are known for are calzones served with, as the name tells you, sauce on the side. If you know me, you know that I Love SAUCE, so this is the restaurant for me! In an effort to eat more vegetables, since my diet mostly consisted of fast food for the past few days, I got the Magic Carpet Ride ($11). It came in a huge portion, that was enough to feed me for 2 meals and a side of the most delicious garlic butter I've ever tasted. Mmm...still drooling just thinking about the flavorful, gooey, sauce. My husband got the Meat Me in St. Louis ($10), which was loaded with CHEESE and meat. His only critique was that it was a tad cheese heavy, but I didn't see that stop him from devouring his entire calzone. To continue on my quest for vegetables, I also ordered the small Beets Me salad ($8). The salad was very flavorful; however very light on the beets. There were probably 5 small strips of beets in the beet salad, which was a tad disappointing because I love beets. The wine pours were also on the skimpy side. I feel like I took two sips and needed a refill on the wine, but maybe as a toddler mom, I expect larger wine portions than the average consumer. All in all, I would definitely recommend. Very clean atmosphere, friendly service, and huge calzones! See you next time St. Louis! read more

Always love the "cock a doodle noodle" but this time I wanted something different. Tried the Gonzo and it was amazing! The staff was super nice and helped me pick something new. You can never top the service I've gotten at ever sauce on the side location. It's also a comfortable place to chill in and enjoy your lunch. Honestly I'm surprised how empty it is. Lol. Big shout out to Brad for being so polite. read more

Good selection of entrees that taste great. Casual seating with moderate lighting and plenty of room. Large calzones packed full. read more

Overall, good. Not fantastic, not stupendous, but good. The menu is mostly calzones and they do them pretty well. The calzones we had were ok, but nothing overwhelmingly good. The Garden was a nice chancce to get some veggies back in a diet and the Dukes was a play on BBQ, I presume an homage to Duke's BBQ, a nearby classic joint. The Figgy Piggy was easily the best. Sodas are not brand name and there is a decent beer selection. The door opening and closing meant a near constant draft every minuteNor so, even sitting in the middle ooF the restaurant. The further from the door, the better. Will keep it on the list to eat at agin. read more

Meat me in Saint Louis with Queso is the absolute best Calzone in the history of mankind. I have had this for personal consumption but have also had Sauce cater in for my work. The food is excellent, the customer service is excellent, and the attention to detail is what continues to bring me back. read more

My first trip to this restaurant was not the best but that was the at their grand opening. The owner actually personally reached out and made things right which was incredibly appreciated! Everytime we have gone after the food has been great! They make some unique calzones and their garlic knots are to die for! They also have a variety of local drafts on tap as well as in can. You will be greeted with a nice modern ambiance and upbeat music to accompany the great food they serve. Service is really quick they get those calzones in and out of the oven at a great pace! read more

I enjoy a good salad, and there are many to choose from here. Calzones are generally too bread heavy, but Sauce on the side does it well.

Ordered to go. They gave us the wrong calzone. The salad had rotten tomatoes. We couldn't eat any of it. I tried calling back. No answer. The second time they messed up. They never offered to fix the first one. Even an apology would be nice. read more

The food is okay, not great. The service is good. The ambiance is like a warehouse, it's okay. The problem with this place is that it's nothing special. Food is similar to a folded over pizza. This is not a bad place, I'm just not into ordinary. We may go a couple of times a year if we're in the area. read more

If I could give more stars I would. Ryan the manager went above and beyond. He was very friendly and accommodating. We ordered four calzones to be delivered and he arrived before the stated time. This is our new favorite place to eat! read more

First time diners at Sauce on the Side today for lunch. My small Italian salad with roasted chicken (an add-on) was close to ten bucks. The Meat Me in St. Louie calzone my husband ordered was about the same. A canned Schlafly Pale Ale and a glass of wine rounded out our meals. Bottom line: about thirty bucks plus tax. Warehouse-style flooring so nothing fancy there. Menu on the wall. Order at the counter. We received our drinks at the counter and our food order was brought to our table. I was impressed with the cloth napkins, wine served in a stemmed wine glass (tastes SO much better than when served in a plastic cup!) and real service ware - no plastic. Tasty food, quick service and friendly/courteous staff....what's not to like? We'll be back. read more

A-ma-zing. I've been twice since I discovered it about a month ago and nothing I've had has been less than stellar. And I've tried salad, calzones, and dessert (btw s'mores calzone is out of this world). Won't hesitate to recommend this place, and have many times already! read more

The food is okay. Too much sauce for my taste. When I go back I'll ask for less sauce. But their salads are great. The service is excellent and staff is friendly. The ambiance is okay. We will return but will know how to order our food. read more

If you like calzones you have to try "the duke". Don't forget the spinach and artichoke bites. Great for lunch or dinner.

Have been to this restaurant like 10 times and have yet to see them follow proper sanitation rules when it comes to preparing food. I've tried to give them many chances but never see a change in them actually wearing gloves or washing their hands. Just not a good time and I never feel good about getting my food here. Ambiance is cool though I'll give them that. read more

I love calzones from this place, the Duke is my favorite and the salads are delicious!!

We ordered the Meat me in St Louis calzone was delicious. It was large enough that we split it & it was plenty. Nice staff, clean place.

We went here for dinner tonight. The place is really cool and modern looking. They were fairly busy when we walked in but it didn't take them hardly any time to clear out the line. This is the kind of place where you order at the counter and then take a seat with the number. They had two pills going to clear up the line. When we got up to the till to order II cashier I decided to close her drawer without saying anything to us so we had waited all that time and then had to wait again in the other line for the first person. Not a particularly big deal because they cleared everyone out quite quickly. I had a salad and a calzone that I ordered with an extra sauce. My boyfriend ordered a calzone. When the salad arrived it was the wrong order but be very nice server quickly exchanged it for the correct one. Even though the service had a rocky start to begin with all of the servers bringing us our food were very friendly. The salad was very obviously put together with fresh materials but it had red peppers in it when I had asked to have them leave out the red peppers. The dressing was okay at first and went really nice with the tomatoes but eventually towards the end of the salad it was all just too salty. My boyfriend really enjoyed the calzone he got, but he thought the inside were a little salty. He really liked the Italian herb topping is it canceled out some of the salt. I didn't care for either of the sauces on the side that I had gotten the garlic butter or the original. And while the calzone was really well cooked the breading was flavorless and the insides were separated where you would have a bite of cheese calzone and then a separate bite of mushroom calzone. I thought they used too many italian herbs and it threw off the flavor for me. We will probably give them another try. read more

SOTS was a UNIQUE experience, a lot of TASTY OPTIONS! Their menu has a wide and MINDFUL variety, they also support other smaller businesses by offering CRAFT, small batch SODAS. These are better than your average Pepsi/Coke lineup. THE FOOD!!!! Wow. I decided on the Mac & Cheese and my partner chose the TASTE OF ST. LOUIS! They were both DELICIOUS, filling and not your average calzone. The only reason this was not a FIVE-STAR review was because the sauce on the side was served cold. Otherwise, a perfect place to grab some ARTISAN grub with a casual, MODERN vibe. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK! read more

As with all of my other Sauce on the Side reviews, 5 stars! If you have never been to any of these locations you have no idea what you're missing out on. This is by far one of my favorite local eats. The meet me in St. Louis calzone is out of this world. And the fact that they have Excel soda is a massive bonus! I'll continue to eat here forever. Now, can we get one in St. Charles?! read more

We first tried the Chesterfield Location and then followed it up three weeks later with trying the Wentzville Location. All I can say is Sauce on the Side is AWESOME! I've been to 3 locations as of now, and their overall customer service was GREAT and takes you back to when companies took pride in the kind of customer service they provided to it's patrons! We are a family of Five and we all UNANIMOUSLY AGREE that this is a GREAT PLACE TO DINE AS WELL AS DELICIOUS FOOD! read more

Love it! Turned my calzone hating boyfriend into a fan because he can customize it however he wants. I want to try everything, but can't seem to stop myself always getting the Figgy Piggy or the Duke, both fantastic. I have tried the Cock-a-doodle Noodle and Gonzo before and they were also really good. read more

I've had sauce on the side a few times, I've always enjoyed it! The Duke and meat me in Saint Louie happen to be among the calzones I would recommend! Today was a rough day, I decided to order out, we just moved and the kids were going crazy, as I open the door to pay for our delivery, my children are screaming, opening the door, letting the dogs out, I apologized to the girl delivering our food, she said, "you look like you need a hug" I don't think I even replied to her I just hugged her and held back the tears of moving, the holidays, sick parents, young children and just an overwhelmingly crappy year. She said, "I don't know if anyone has told you today, but you're doing a wonderful job as a mother!" I replied, that I was about to cry. We exchanged smiles and I closed the door. It was incredibly nice for her to acknowledge me as a human and the compassion she showed was remarkable. It was a simple hug, but THEN, hours later my husband answers the door and she came back by to bring desserts to us to help off set my terrible day. I remember seeing this girl before at target, she was dropping off a sauce on the side order. She was bubbly and patient. This girl is going somewhere. She is someone i would never let leave bc she is the reason people will come back, especially with the overwhelming lack of service around the world at the moment. Sauce on the side is one of my new favorite places because of this girl and the kindness she showed me and my family. read more

I've never wrote a review for any restaurant ever! So that has to tell y'all something about our overall experience!! My husband, my 15 month old baby, and I went there tonight for dinner. We had a voucher for a free calzone that someone had got from a manager and gave to us. Everyone was super nice to us when we were ordering and answered my random questions. We've eaten here before and have always liked the food. This is the first time we've been here since our baby was born. We ordered a Caesar salad to share, the calzone with chorizo on it, and "meat me one St. Louis." I had my baby on my lap when Darren came over and asked if We wanted a high chair. He was super nice and got this for us without asking and then offered to get the baby some strawberries and mandarin oranges. That really made an impression on me and I thought "how sweet." We were eating all the food and it was delicious when out of no where, our baby threw up all over the place. It was so embarrassing. We were trying to clean it all up because really, no one else should have to deal with our baby's throw up. Darren immediately came over, said it wasn't a big deal, and happily helped us out and mopped. He told us to just sit at the other table and he would take care of it. Again, I felt so bad about this. But he really did act like it wasn't a big thing and made a joke about that's why they have the type of floor that they did. He mopped the floor and sanitized the whole area so it would be nice and clean for someone else. This was our first time back at Sauce on the Side since we had our daughter and we will definitely be back. I think once you have kids, it's the caring people like Darren that will bring you back to an establishment. read more
