  1. This place has the best pizza in New York, let alone the United States.
  2. The coal-oven pizza is perfect in texture and taste.
  3. Do not attack the food and the decor "which by the way a "fire place" is quite cozy during the winter
  4. But food is good.
  5. The rigatoni filetto pomodore is perhaps the most flavorful pasta dish I've ever had.
  6. The pizza is good, again not great.
  7. Taste fresh and not defrosted like the other places.
  8. When it was brought to the table it was warm -- not piping hot as you may expect a fresh pizza.
  9. Great Italian food with TERRIBLE service
  10. Whenever we want consistency and a delicious meal, we'll choose Sac's.
  11. Sacs Pizza Is the greatist place to eat in the whole city if you want great itallian food go to Sacs.
  12. Every single piece has that perfect balance of cheese and sauce.
  13. Warm service, hot food, cool location!
  14. Most individuals give their opinions but all agree SACs pizza is the best out there so I question yours.
  15. So I tell my wife about how good the pizza was, so we decide to order it one Friday night, I ask for it well done, and head over to pick it up, pay $23(yikes for 3 toppings), get it home and it tastes like they make the worst pizza in Queens.
  16. Putanesca is amazing; Four Cheese Gnocci is like ma's; can't go wrong with their Mama's Meatballs or Sausage; fahgheddaboud the pizza!
  17. We ALWAYS get the same server, Milton, who takes care of us like family and memorizes how I like certain dishes.
  18. again i repeat for the full expierience allow the owner to take you out of your comfort zone and let them create a wonderful expierence for you that is beyond just anothet italian meal.
  19. It's unfortunate that some reviewers have had unpleasant experiences, as we've had tasty food and welcoming staff every single time.
  20. Great food, but if you get delivery, be prepared to wait, a very long time.
  21. know good pizza when I eat it.
  22. The food is good but not worth wasting an hour and a half waiting.
  23. There you will find both great food and pizza plus, the atmosphere is much nicer for dining in.
  24. The crust is thin and chewy, the sauce is spicy and they use fresh mozzerala.
  25. The food is good but certainly not worth five stars!
  26. This is the best Italian food I have ever had.
  27. Has one of the best tasting Sicilian slices I've ever had, and the regular slices have the perfect blend of fresh mozzarella and tasty sauce which isn't slobbed on.
  28. If available, I highly recommend the lasagna and of course their pizza.
  29. The service, food, price and ambiance are terrific.
  30. Sac's Pizza has the best pizza in New York City or Long Island.
  31. Best Pizza, GREAT Italian food
  32. Come on people get real, the food is good but certainly not worth 5 stars.
  33. The seafood is great, pizza is amazing, pasta is yum!
  34. take many big parties there and it is always a 10 as far as food and service.
  35. Chicken rolls are also really good-- tastes very similar to homemade chicken cutlet.Yes-I did notice a bit of an attitude with the guys up front--but seems like the regular "I hate working and serving people all day" type of thing.
  36. Now the brick oven pizza is actually mighty tasty, and would have saved the restaurant for me, had it not been for the excruciating prices.
  37. The food was good and the service was excellent
overall

  3. bit pricey but its a nice place and the service is great.
  4. Sacs Pizza Is the greatist place to eat in the whole city if you want great itallian food go to Sacs.
  5. Seroiusly we started to get Dominoes b/c it was better, but now there is a really good place on Crecent and 30th ave, called Taste of Italy, and it is worth every penny.

Great Food, Great Cannoli!

by MAKnGer at Citysearch

Wow. What a fantastic place. I was on the hunt for a cannoli spot and boy was I glad that I found this place! I agree with the review below! What a great cannoli! I even brought them home for my boyfriend and he too loved the cannolis! I am going to be coming back for more!

Great pizza, great food, but...

by the quickthinker at Citysearch

I go here a couple of times a week for a slice or to get something to go. The pizza and food are amazing!

What I have found to be a bit disappointing is that, like some others have mentioned here, some of the wait staff can be rude/obnoxious/lazy. The last time I sat for a meal my waiter was Luis and he couldn't have been more unpleasant. If I ever go again I will request a different waiter.

Don't bother unless you live nearby and/or starving

by bklynqns at Citysearch

I ate there for the first time in 2002 when I moved into the area. I thought it was very good (would have recommended it to others)but a little on the expensive side. I continued to go there occasionally usually for the pizza. On my most recent visit it just didn't seem the same. I don't know if it has changed owners/management, but I was very disappointed!! The pizza was really lacking cheese, the slices seemed smaller, and the service was bad. I will not go back. As for the people who say it is the best pizza in NYC, they must not get out often. I know good pizza and it is in Brooklyn, not Queens.

  • Pros: great location, good crust
  • Cons: expensive, sparse ingredients, poor service
