Sauce Pizza & Wine

I love sauce! Their food is just so yummy. I can’t complain about anything. My favorite is the chicken ceasar salad

Amazing! This place always makes me hungry when I think of it. The customer service is great! Everyone is very friendly. I think he pizza is the best besides the macncheese. I think everyone should give this place a try!

Tonight was my last night visiting a former Fox Restaurant business that has gone downhill. I learned Sam sold off Sauce two years ago and it explains a lot. It used to be excellent. food, service, and upkeep. However, my last two visits have been very poor. So much so, that tonight when our pizza showed up 30mins after our salads and it was cold and soggy. I outright asked for a refund. Something I normally would never do. The manager tried to tell me it was not sitting long, but you could tell by looking at it that was just bs. I’ve worked in the restaurant business for some time. I would say your service is below standard. Cleanliness of this restaurant was also in bad shape. On another note to the current owner that may or may not see this review. Management should look like managers. This young lady was not in business attire. She was so casual I didn’t even know who she was when looking for assistance. So, that’s why I stood back in line to ask for a refund. Total fail. Too bad. I will give my business elsewhere.

I was pleasantly surprised with my experience here. Delicious food that is very casual and laid back.

Food was ok, wine was ok, service leaves a lot to be desired.
The whole meal was pretty «blah» nothing stood out as amazing, but the biggest issue was nearly every table was both dirty and empty. We were there for maybe 40 minutes and no one cleaned any tables, it was disgusting.

It’s a great place to go and share a pizza with a friend since their «personal» size is perfect for two! I was basic and just tried their margarita pizza but it was so amazaing! I would absolutely recommend it to a friend!

This review comes a little late as my grown children and I ate at this location back in the late summer (August). It was our first time to dine there. We ordered the mac & cheese, pizza with pepperoni and olives, and pasta,– red sauce and mozzarella (gluten free). It was a delightful visit, the food was cooked to near perfection, the pizza was fresh, with a thin crust.
I would recommend this establishment to others who like to have a nice place to eat pasta and pizza and drink wine. I didn’t drink any wine this visit but I will try a glass on my next visit. Very helpful staff, relaxing atmosphere and good food.

Love love love this place. Such friendly service. I have tried several different pizzas there and they were all great! The tropical green tea is the best! Salads are fresh and perfect. The spicy chicken pizza is the best to me, right amount of spice and hand tossed, brick oven cooked to perfection!

I have to say that I had the best experience at Sauce that I have had in a long time.
We used to frequent Sauce quite a bit, but lost interest in the past year or so, when their food seemed to have changed and their portions were altered.
Once in a while I try them with the hope that I will once again be happy. Tonight, was that night. The food was fabulous, but what made the restaurant shine was the staff. Everyone that I interacted with seemed to really care about their job and truly wanted to give the best customer service.
I will be back, this time I won’t wait for long. Way to go Sauce

Amazing service! The food was Incredible! Had the pizza and the chicken broccoli pasta

So yummy! I love their mac n cheese. It’s my favorite place to go for mac n cheese! Great place to go when going to the movies at Norterra or shopping in Happy Valley.

At first I was skeptical about the idea of fast-​casual Italian food but, actually this place rocks!
Great place to take the family before or after a movie.
Options include glutten free pizza & pasta.
So far, everything we have tried has been fresh and delicious! (pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salad)
They even have a good «mini» wine selection which is a bonus for the wife and I.
The line might be long, but give it a shot and you might have a new favorite.

Great atmosphere, clean restrooms, food comes fast and is always great! I love the thin crust pizzas, and the tomato basil soup that comes with fresh bread and butter is my favorite, a must have! We go there at least once or twice a month and it never disappoints!

Great food. Great atmosphere. Sometime the service is slow especially during peak times. However the food is always hot. Never had a bad
Meal.

Fast Food pizza is all the rage these days, but these guys seemed like they started the craze before it even officially started. Now, these kind of fancy small crust pizza places will never get more than three stars from a true NY guy, but we were hungry and it was time to at least sample the food here. It was a pretty basic pepperoni for about 9 bucks, nothing stood out and nothing will be remembered and likely no need to return. It was barely foldable and we went with the stretchable crust which at least is closer to NY pizza than that cracker crust Chicago crap that is all around the Valley. I would rather talk about the giant fresh baked cookie for just over a buck that I snagged at the end of the meal. This was chock full of every cookie add-​on item that was invented and was worth the price for sure. When you own 45 restaurants in eight states, there will be some average food served along the way, but those non-​folders and pizza snobs might enjoy this style of pie.

Great thin crust pizza is really really good. Give the summer salad a try, the mix of vegetables is really great, with a mix of crunch and soft. They also have some great summer specials for couples.

Sauce, Part II. Arrived at 11:40 on a Friday and there were 25 guests eating and 15 in line. Got to the counter in 5 mins. Ordered a salad this time since that’s what most order here.
I ordered the Caesar Chicken Salad and a soft drink for $ 10.83. Yikes. That’s a lot for veggies and chicken. My order arrived in 11 minutes. It was fresh, crisp and cold. The chicken was shredded but the whole dish was assembled in a way that didn’t make you think ‘pre-​packaged’ portions.
The dressing had a good garlic note, the croutons were seasoned well but were tooth-​shatteringly hard. The meal also arrived with a French roll.
Speedier service and less toast on the croutons and we would’ve had a real winner.

So Sauce used to be one of our favorite restaurants. I mean we ate there like 3 times a month on average… probably more. Yet something has changed!
What used to be reasonable portions and appropriate pricing, has become skimpy portions (at best) and I presume the same pricing. I’m not a particularly price conscious or a frugal diner… so I really can’t tell you what they’ve done with prices, but I know what they’ve done with portions.
Last time my we got carry out, I actually thought my wife ate half of my chopped veggie salad on the way home!
When we talked to the manager about it (who was gracious, fantastic and well trained in the biz) they told my wife that the portions were «pre-​measured». O.K. I get that…
HOWEVER, what that translates into is 1) «plan a trip to McDonald’s» after Sauce (which in our case is often before a Movie) 2) eat across the intersection @ Pita Jungle 3) plan to fill up on Popcorn or 4) don’t go there if you are hungry.
We need more good restaurants in the North Valley, not less.
I want my old Sauce back.

I have always loved Sauce, up until it was bought out from Fox Restaurant concepts as of the first of the year. Boy, have I noticed a change in quality! Went last night, we were craving the Mac N Cheese which previously was always the best. Last night, after having a salad as an appetizer, our 2 bowls of $ 7.00 Mac N Cheese arrived. My friend dug into his first. I asked, is it a great as ever and all he said, was taste it and you tell me. I dug my fork in and found that the pasta was over cooked, all stuck together and there was little cheese sauce. I took a taste and it was awful! I mixed up the bowl hoping it would help but there was so little cheese sauce and the macaroni noodles were so overdone, there was nothing to help this dish.
We didn’t eat either of the 2 bowls we were served. Two girls sat right next to us and ordered the exact same thing and after about 5 minutes of watching them play with their food, I asked them how it was and they both said the dish was completely off from «normal» and they too did not finish their respective bowls.
I don’t know who took the Sauce restaurants over but come on — it’s Mac N Cheese!!! How do you mess up that dish?
I may have to revert back to making Paradise Bakery to place to go for Mac N Cheese and Grimaldis our pizza go-​to and skip Sauce all together or maybe it’s just the Norterra location? Either way, please get your stuff together new ownership!!!

My friend brought me here for primarily one thing: their macaroni and cheese. One of my favorite foods is cheese thus making mac and cheese a staple in my food groups. I grew up eating the blue box, so mac and cheese is near and dear to my heart.
We stopped in on a fairly busy Friday night, ordered at the counter and sat down to wait for our food to be brought to us. I ordered a half caprese salad and a side of mac and cheese. I was NOT disappointed! The salad came with huge chunks of mozzarella and it was absolutely delicious. The mac and cheese was absolutely AMAZING. I was told it has 3 – 4 different cheeses in it (YESSSS) and it was rich, but it didn’t feel overwhelming in any way. I believe I used «light» to describe it just because it didn’t leave a heavy taste on my tongue. It was sooooo good. It’s a smaller portion but it is a bit bigger than Panera Bread’s. However, this side portion with a half salad was a perfect amount. I left feeling stuffed!
There are so many yummy items on their menu that I know I shall be back soon! I know I will be back when I’m in dire need of some comfort food. Macaroni and cheese for the win!
