Disgusting pizza We both got the 3.14 pie day cheese to try a new pizza place. Neither of us could get more than half down. It was very nasty. I feel sick. Something tasted like anchovies and the dough tasted like it had too much yeast. I could see more sauce than cheese. I came hungry and that's how I'm leaving. I saw tables with half eaten pizzas inside and out, so I don't think I'm the only one. read more

I visit this location a few times a month, usually ordering online and picking up a kids' Mac & Cheese meal for my daughter. Today, I noticed I had reward points expiring and enough for a free entrée, so I placed our order through the app as usual without any issues. When I arrived, there were dirty dishes left on the patio tables, which had attracted birds. Inside the restaurant, no employees were visible at first aside from the cook, who greeted me from behind the counter when I mentioned I was there for a to-go pickup. After waiting a few minutes, another employee approached to assist me, and shortly after, a third employee came out of the restroom and handed me my order. I noticed that a side of cheese sauce was missing and mentioned it. I was told that because I had included it in the order notes, it did not guarantee it would be provided and that I would need to be charged separately for it. This was surprising, as I place this same order--including the side of cheese sauce--regularly and have never been told this before. As I left, I again pointed out the dirty dishes tables, as birds were still actively picking at the leftover food. At the time, there was only one other party dining in, and it was disappointing to see the tables left unattended. read more

I was here over the weekend and food was delicious along with service. I came in today just to get two cookies of theirs and the best service always even while just grabbing two cookies! Amazing staff all around read more

Sauce is one of my son's favorite spots and we've grown to like it too. The people at the register are always friendly. Our go-to pizza is the Mozzarella, Fontina and Basil - simple but delicious. My husband had the Spicy Chicken Sausage and Hatch Green Chili Mac n Cheese and liked that too. The two suggestions I have for Sauce to work on are: 1) They always bring my family's entrees out at different times. Sometimes the last person is waiting up to ten minutes for theirs. It makes for awkward dining. 2) This location is small and crowded, and we're happy that they are popular. But there are always several tables that haven't been cleared off and cleaned. They need to do a better job of turning over tables. Other than that, we've had a good experience dining here. read more

Sauce Pizza & Wine - Spicy Chicken Sausage & Cheese Sauce Hatch Chili Mac n Cheese - Italian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Went last night. Ordered a pizza and the chicken, broccoli and cheese pasta. We sat around for over 35 mins waiting for these two dishes to be done. I finally went up to the counter & our food had been ready what looked to be a while ago. They finally give it to us & we get home. The pizza was burnt and cold. The pasta had sat longer the cheese sauce was not hot anymore. Nice kids that work there- but was not worth the money at all. Really like sauce so it's a disappointment. read more

Waited an hour for 2 small pizzas. They gave away my order and had to wait longer. Unorganized to say the least. Make it worse the pizza was so-so. read more

It's been a while since I've stepped foot into this Sauce location. I was craving pasta, and wanted something on the cheap. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Sausage w/ hatch chilè and it did not disappoint! Perfect portions, saucy & flavorful..it definitely hit the spot! We also had the cheese pizza & pasta/marinara sauce. The cheese pizza excellent..perfectly flaky thin crust & also good size for being a small. They have about 5 different pastas to choose from, along with a good variety of pizza options, salads and more. They also serve wine to pair with your meals & have a great summer meal & wine deal going on right now. Service was good & restaurant was clean. Perfect spot if you're looking for something quick, casual & cheap! read more

After getting an adjustment at The Joint, I stopped in here for a late lunch/early dinner. I ordered the mozzarella, fontina, and basil pizza on a thin-crust, which was good. I also had their iced tea, which was also really good and refreshing. The workers were a little on the gruff side and I noticed multiple tables were left dirty for a long time. When I arrived for my adjustment at The Joint, there was a dirty table outside and it was left in that condition for over an hour. I wanted to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful weather but I couldn't because all the tables were dirty. Food was good but service could be a tad bit better. read more

Sauce is one of my favorites! I think they have great customer service, all their employees are always so well put together and friendly! I order a salad that isn't on the menu anymore... And I know who the new employees are that take my order when I go in, because they always look at me with a blank stare for a moment! But they always find someone to help them learn how to enter it! I love that they give local brewing companies a chance here, they have the IPA Jungle Jack tropical hazy they are from Chandler! If you like tropical flavor this is a beer you should try! The food is delicious, we love the Salads, Lasagna, Pizza,Mac and cheese, and their bruschetta!!! The passion fruit black tea is my go to tea at Sauce! read more

We came here for my sisters birthday dinner. It was everyone's first time, aside from my parents. We all explored the menu and then went to order. The guy at the register was not super friendly. We had asked how big the pizzas were and if they could feed 2 people. He said he didn't know and it was just a regular pizza. So we never got an answer on that. We ended up just ordering a few pizzas to serve our table. For anyone curious, the pizzas are 12in and can be shared if you don't eat too much or get something small too. My cousin ordered his own meal at the counter and the guy mentioned they had no change after taking the money into the register. So my cousin awkwardly said to keep it as a tip because he couldn't get anything back. We got table numbers and waited for our food to be brought. The lady who brought our food was not very friendly either. She never smiled just kinda rushed on asking who's food it was. We mistakenly said it wasn't anyones when it was my cousins separate order. He went to the counter to get it back were he was handed his food with attitude. The service had a sudden change after that and when the lady came back with our other orders she seemed nicer. The food itself was okay, I got a panini which was pretty good. However, my chips were too hard for me to enjoy and the meatball I got was chewy and weird textured. The pizzas seemed to be decent. Everyone ate and said it was okay but they would rather have gone somewhere else like MOD. Overall the experience was okay and a bit disappointing. The staff was not knowledgeable with the questions we had and they started off with attitude or just sour moods, which I can understand in a busy setting but it is a turn off. I don't think the food stood out for me to ever return but it's not a bad place for those wanting to try. read more

Amazing customer service!! So nice, the man at the front counter deserves the world. We showed up a bit early and all the staff was so kind.

Perfect customer service!! The man who helped us went above and beyond, so yummy! Our favorite place to get pizza & bruschetta!!

Extremely tasty and great value. The seasonal sandwich was ridiculous! Caprese grilled cheese should be all the time

Jose the manager took my order over the phone and made sure I was taken care of with my mushroom and artichoke bruschetta.

Good solid pizza. The meatballs are a very good top icing for the pizza. Nice staff. Pizza was completed when they said it would be done. read more

Disappointed in the ingredients used as pizza toppings. Pepperoni was paper thin, flavorless, see thru like lace. Red peppers were thick side cut chunks and had the consistency of thawed veggies. One too thin another too chunky & not aesthetically placed. If corporate is ordering low quality food the independent managers should document the change against the poor sales. It's the only way to get back to a serving high quality product again. read more

Its starting to get hard to come here, if it wasn't my kids favorite place to eat I wouldn't be coming here anymore. I went in tonight 12/2 and was absolutely dumb by the service. There was no one in the dining room but the young lady up at the front was glued to her phone or the other male server, not even paying attention to me or my kids. my food then came out wrong and we had to wait even longer to eat. only silver lining was the very yummy pizza and my kids really liked their pastas. I just wish they'd do something about their servers, it's like this every night we come in. read more

Service was good. Food was not. Went for the summer sampler deal on a really hot day. From the outside it didn't look open but it was. Ordered thin crust pizza, the crust came out like cardboard and burnt. Had the chicken spinach apple salad. It was chunks of chicken thrown in the salad. No one took the time to shred or chop it up properly. It's been some time since I frequented there. Cooks not as good post pandemic. read more

This place is awesome. From the pizza to the salads or the sandwiches. Have never had a bad meal. Always clean and very friendly staff. Outdoor seating a huge plus! read more

We took their recommendation to get the thin crust. BIG mistake. Outer edges completely burnt and would fall apart at your touch. The inner dough was dried out and unflavorful. We only picked off a few toppings and the rest was wasted. read more

Love this place. Such great food and great customer service. My boyfriend and I had such a warm welcome when walking in. I don't know our servers name but he has the best smile, had his hair up in a bun and was wearing jordans. Such great service by this guy. Will be coming back to this location because of his great service. read more

Haven't been to Sauce in a while and was craving pizza. i ordered the rosemary potato pizza, beet and arugula salad, a grilled cheese sandwich and chicken noodle soup for hubby & I. The pizza is one of my favorites but it has significantly less potato that it used to. Still tons of good flavor though and the olive tapenade is the perfect salty addition. The salad is always fantastic, the apples are crisp, the avocado fresh, and the dressing is nice and light. Hubby loved the grilled cheese, super gooey and the bread was crisp. Only negative was his chicken noodle soup ended up some other kind of soup, which is fine, mistakes happen, but whatever he got was overly salty and not very good. We ordered takeout and the food was ready on time and still tasted fresh 15 min later by the time I got it home. The gal packing our order was also really friendly and pleasant! read more

amazing food! mac and cheese is so good and Jose is the best! very kind and awesome service

Food: 5/5 Italian Chopped Salad: This salad is filling and meaty. The toppings pair deliciously with the iceberg lettuce. Rosemary Potato Pizza: The pizza is a combination of salty and earthy toppings. The olives and feta cheese provide a salty canvas while the spinach, potatoes and truffle oil offer an earthy complement. Overall, the food is delicious and affordable. read more

Life is not about finding yourself; it's about finding pizza! Happy National Pizza Party Day! Having heard about Sauce for years now, even seeing Yelp Perks being offered at Sauce, I've always wanted to pop in. After getting the good ol' snap, crackle, pop at The Joint Chiropractic next door, we decided to grab some takeout from Sauce. The two of us ordered the Sunday soup ($5), Prosciutto & Fig pizza ($13.75 - white pizza with black mission figs, goat cheese & arugula), and a Spicy Chicken Sausage & Cheese Sauce pasta ($10.50 - with hatch green chile). I call it "Sunday Soup" because while the menu showed that it was supposed to be chicken noodle soup, it had no meat and lots of delicious vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms. I'm not sure what it was but it was hot and tasty --- just what I wanted on a rainy Sunday afternoon! It reminded me of minestrone but with corkscrew pasta! The Prosciutto & Fig pizza was lovely and the Spicy Chicken Sausage & Cheese Sauce pasta was amazing. It had good heat with the hatch green chile. So good! I'd definitely get the pizza and pasta again. I can see why this place is so loved. I can't comment much on the service since we got takeout but the bags were definitely packed with all the essentials you would need to enjoy a good meal at home. Two thumbs up! read more

I just waited 30 minutes to get a caprese salad. Overall, salad tastes good! But, almost everyone who came in after me got their food before me. I complained and they told me with was because others had a pizza and I had a salad and those are two different "food lines". If a salad is too much of an inconvenience to get done I will go somewhere else. read more

I have made 2 visits within a week, and the experience was night and day different. I used to love sauce, but then the noodles changed, the sausage changed, I just ended up holding off from visiting... years later (this week) I went back hoping to love it! I ordered a mikes hot honey pepperoni pizza and a kids Mac, Mac n cheese was dry and the pizza was not crispy. I told my mom how disappointed I was, who invited me back for a better experience because she loved it there! Our return visit was amazing!!! My favorite part was the ricotta appetizer with mikes hot honey, yum!!! It is sweet with a kick, so great for a dessert too. The Mac n cheese was creamy and flavorful. The sausage and caramelized onion was crispy and so yummy. And to add to the prosciutto and fig we topped with balsamic glaze, yum! Everything was great, I'll certainly return. Hopefully the next visit is like this most recent one. read more

Instacart delivered the wrong order charged me full price, i was unable to resolve. Then I called the establishment and was told they would redeliver the correct order for delivery fee only since instacart wasn't able to refund. So I felt ok about that until I checked my bank account and paid the same amount 2xs $48 so. No matter how nummy 2 chicken Cesar pizzas shouldn't cost almost $100. Food was fabulous when the right order arrived. But it wasn't worth the money I paid. I'll never ever order from here again. I would have called to try to resolve the order issue but I can't afford another $48. So nope not me. If I were you I'd order there and eat there. The food is good eat there for sure. If I were you and you do order delivery just expect not to get what you ordered. I had to order over my daughter is gluten intolerant so she couldn't eat what they brought us. Again definitly eat there, food is great! Don't order delivery. read more

Sauce Pizza & Wine - Chicken Cesar pizza - Italian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Wow... what in the world has happened to Sauce? They completely screwed up our to-go order. Arrived on time to pick it up, ended up getting a plethora of excuses, and having to wait another 35 minutes. No offer to help offset the inconvenience with some sort of discount, etc. We used to love Sauce. Hopefully, it's just this location that is the problem. But we will not be spending our hard earned money at Sauce again anytime soon when there are just so many other excellent options. read more

Ordered delivery via Grubhub. I ordered and paid for protein on both salads. There was no protein to be found in my delivered meal. The manager with whom I spoke did not seem very concerned about the error in my order. I contacted Grubhub about the error and both salads were refunded to me. Thank you Grubhub! I'll skip Sauce next time. read more

My boyfriend and I are regulars at sauce. We come here about 1-2 times a week. It is one of the very few places I can eat out at because of stomach issues. I'm not sure if there's been a change in management or what the problem is with the staff/kitchen but the last couple weeks have not been it. I always get the chicken pesto pasta, Poor quality with some of the food and when I had returned it for the first time ever when I received a different plate I was told by the server that "management said we will not be making that for you anymore". He should've came out and told me himself as to why since I've been getting it for months now. The portions have also been noticeably different the last couple times. read more

I've gotten the salmon kale salad for many years but the last few times I've ordered it, it has been hugely disappointing. There is hardly any kale-it's mostly Romain. Also, the salad is so small it isn't filling at all. There is just the tiniest bit of every ingredient. You raised the prices and lowered the portion size. read more

A group of 10 of us came in for dinner on Friday, 2/23/24. The minute we walked in the door we could tell the workers were all annoyed by the way they looked at us. There were only 4 or so tables being used and we were warned before ordering that all salads would take 30 plus minutes and all pizzas would take 45 minutes. We were okay with it and the kid at the register was even more annoyed we were okay with it. The manager (we assumed because she was dressed different from everyone else) was so rude when she brought us our food. Her tone was so unwelcoming and gave attitude when we had to ask for silverware. She gave us plastic forks because they didn't have any clean ones. While I was waiting by the register to ask about our forgotten bruschetta a group of teenagers came through the door and one of the employees said, "are you serious?!" They literally didn't want people coming in. It was a Friday night at 7pm! if I was the owner of the restaurant I would be so pissed that they were telling people salads would take 30 minutes just to try and get people to walk away. If you don't like your job GO GET A DIFFERENT ONE!! read more

Perfect place for lunch or dinner. Great food, great service and perfect for older couples, families or anyone in between.

As we are sitting here in a near empty restaurant. Ordered 2 pizzas and a salad. Salad was 1 persons meal. 10 mins in and salad came. 25 mins later and no pizza. A ton of staff and again 1 table seated inside and almost empty patio. This should have been my sign. If they were full, you probably need to order your pizza the day before and schedule in advance your lunch time. Salad gone and still no pizza. Review edit. One of the tables outside had 20 minutes in between food being brought out to them. Half the table was done eating and a pizza came out. Can I undo my tip? Wow. This is nuts. when I go inside to ask, I get attitude. Management needs to be fired and so do the staff and replace cause if this is how the manager transit staff they got a lot of issues. Another edit: Pizza finally came. Pizza on a flour tortilla. Clearly why it's empty. 30 min for this crap. Grease bomb. nOT worth it. Skip this place. Avoid it. read more
