Sac's Place

I live across the street from Sac's, and was totally ecstatic to have a new fine dining Italian restaurant in the neighborhood when it opened. And then I ate there. The food was generic and lackluster (were talkin' frozen cheapo calamari generic, in fact the calamari at Sanford's diner up the block greatly outdoes Sac's in quality), and generally oversalted. 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. I spent (and this is no exaggeration) $52 on two small pizzas and an appetizer. Sure I had some toppings like garlic and anchovies, but I think anyone would agree prices like that are ridiculous. If Sac's can get it's act together, and lower it's prices, I would be keen on buying their brick oven pizza more often... but I think I will continue to avoid the calamari Pros: The place has a nice cozy feel Cons: the food is weak, the service is less than, and the prices are bankrupting. more

We order in from Sac's all the time. The best pizza in NYC and great specials and salads. We love to eat at Sac's for the homemade pasta and wine list. more

This is a tough one. A perfect example of having to chose what's more important to you. The waitstaff can be downright arrogant, abnoxious and RUDE. The food... ? It's delicious. I'm disheartened that Louise or whatever his name is, gets away with being arrogant and lazy with people. The other staff working were hard-workers and seemed very friendly. Please please please, bring some of those guys up front - give Louise a break. He told us of his 13-years and quite frankly, it's too long. I never feel compelled to point out someone's bad day, but he's had a bad month or so, because we go in once a week and see how he abruptly takes orders and barely acknowledges that you're HUMANS ordering food. He barely cracks a smile (and we've tried) and makes you feel bad for asking for a refill, another beer or more bread. (REALLY!?!?!?) Ugh. Sorry Sac's, I'm taking a break. Pros: Food is awesome. That's what's really important right? Opt for takeout! Cons: LOUISE more

For me, the best pizza in NYC. Everything else is hit or miss, but the pizza is incredible every time. more

The coal-oven pizza is perfect in texture and taste. The rigatoni filetto pomodore is perhaps the most flavorful pasta dish I've ever had. There's a thoughtfully created wine list and nightly specials for steak, chops and fish. The restaurant has a cozy neighborhood feel and terrific service. I've tried all the great pizzerias and Italian restaurants in New York. This is the one I keep coming back to. more

Sac's is among the best pizza in NYC! I order from here a least once a month and the quality is always consistent with fresh, premium ingredients and the delivery guys are awesome! more

Three of us were in Astoria and wanted a pie and a pitcher of beer. So we tried Sac's. What could warrant a $27 sausage pizza? Not ambience; Sac's doesn't have any. One side of the place is very below average slice slinger decor. The "restaurant" side has either a small dark area or a cold plexi-glassed sidewalk area. All in all, the place does not strike you as exceedingly clean. As a few people have already mentioned, you don't go there for the service. The waiters are more interested in talking with each other than bringing you your food. The biggest insult, however, was that the $27 specialty coal-oven pizza wasn't even freshly made. Judging by the chewy texture of the very thin crust, that baby had been sitting around waiting to be reheated. When it was brought to the table it was warm -- not piping hot as you may expect a fresh pizza. By the time you took the second slice, it was cold. The only thing that deserves 5 stars is the utter audacity the owners have to charge what they do for a less than mediocre dining experience. Pros: None that I can think of. Cons: Greatly overpriced with little pride in product or service. Pie was cold and reheated. more

Great food, but if you get delivery, be prepared to wait, a very long time. I waited for an hour and 15 minutes until I cancelled my order. The delivery guy showed up an hour and a half after I ordered. The food is good but not worth wasting an hour and a half waiting. more

My wife and I ate here many years ago, and since we were in the area last Saturday, we decided to try it again. Parking, like all around Astoria, was a nightmare, and took forever. The place decor is very basic, but is very cozy. Service was the worst I seen in years. The waiter was too busy talking with his friends, and after taking our order, kept on chatting instead of taking the orders to the kitchen. A soda took over 10 minutes to be brought. After waiting an eternity for the dessert menu, we just asked for the check. Food was great, but since the service was so bad, it was very hard to enjoy it. Pros: Food Cons: Parking , service more

Come on people get real, the food is good but certainly not worth 5 stars. The pizza is good, again not great. I will give it 3 stars. This is a pizza place with seating. If you want to dine out, see my suggestion below: Try Manettas in LIC. There you will find both great food and pizza plus, the atmosphere is much nicer for dining in. Pros: good pizza Cons: don;t have the pizza delivered or you will be disappointed more

Pizza the old fashion way, you can just taste the sauce from the aromas, I prefer little less cheese and well done. I am easily swayed for the homemade pastas, the lasagna (every other week) rivals any here and Italy. The staff is a little slow at times but never a big deal. Pros: wines by the glass, friendly ambience Cons: more whites for the summer more
