Best

Chocolate lava cake a must pasta is delish!

Worst

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 ...

Great all around place to eat or enjoy a glass of wine 4/26/2007

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

Warm service, hot food, cool location! 4/25/2007

Our "go-to" neighborhood place. Whenever we want consistency and a delicious meal, we'll choose Sac's. It's unfortunate that some reviewers have had unpleasant experiences, as we've had tasty food and welcoming staff every single time. The owner personally walks around to meet, greet and bus tables. We ALWAYS get the same server, Milton, who takes care of us like family and memorizes how I like certain dishes. We opt for the enclosed patio for a quieter, less family style feel, even when we bring guests (which is frequent). Try the caprese salad and the gnocchi! Pros: Consistently great food, fabulous service, Milton Cons: None. more

Best Itlaian family style dinner 2/16/2007

I take many big parties there and it is always a 10 as far as food and service. Best situation is to just let the owners feed your table family style. allow them to be creative. 1 of the owners Anthony is a character out of a Sopranos episode and Domenic has one of the most sophisticated wine palates i've expierence at any price range.... Don't go there and order veal parma... I've been there with execs from food network and they were all amazed, satisfied and have been back. that is a tough jaded crowd to please ! 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...... They want to please their customers.... most of them regulars on a first name basis.... Pros: Great family style atmosphere Cons: everything is fresh so be prepared to wait for your meal ( i don't really see this as a con) more

Dreadful dining in -- only for takeout 2/2/2007

The comments of the last reviewer are right on the beam. My wife and I have given this place three chances and all three were a nightmare. First time, they brought the wrong pizza to the table -- and it was stone cold. Second visit, we requested dessert menus from the very unfriendly waitress -- she disappeared, never really to return as we sat there for at least fifteen minutes and then paid our check at the counter and left. Third visit, were led to a table where the waitstaff (not kidding here) lean against a pillar almost up against the table. Can't describe how uncomfortable this made us feel. We requested another table but were refused. We walked out without ordering. Don't feel good about writing this one. This is a neighborhood place for us and I hate to knock home. But I have to tell it like it is. Pros: none that I can tell; pizza is overrated Cons: everything possible in a dining experience more

Great Pizza, Horrible service 2/1/2007

I had always walked by the restaurant since its in my neighborhood, and it looked like a really cozy, attractive place to eat. I finally stopped in one night with some friends who were visiting, and we had a rather uncomfortable dining experience. It was around 6:30PM on a wednesday, and the place was pretty much empty, and a busboy standed about three feet from our table during the entire meal, staring at the table, which was rather akward. But the pizza was terriffic, also the calamari. When we paid, the waiter did not understand that the 40 dollars I had given him were for the bill, and the credit card was to take care of the rest of the meal, even though I carefully explained it. So when I got the check back to sign, the money was gone, but my credit card had been charged for the full amount. I tried to explain that he needed to give us the cash back or refund the credit card fr the amount. In the end, it was confusing and I was really shocked by the waitstaff's bizarre behavior. I will definitely order delivery next time. more

Overrated 8/2/2006

We moved into the area a year ago and I happened to try a few slices from the take out side, a little pricey, but very good. 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. It was not well done, it wasn't even cooked, the crust underneath was wet like a sponge, and the cheese was barely cooked enough to melt it. We ended up putting each slice in the toaster to get it to where it should have been. By the way, it wasn't like this b/c I picked it up late, b/c they were boxing it as I showed up. OK, so we give Sac's another shot, and this time I told them that I wanted them to burn it, but the pizza was again completely under cooked. So that's it no more $25 pizzas from Sac's, they have lost me and anyone that will listen to me. 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. more

Best Pizza in New York City 8/2/2006

I'm responding to EllenD's review. While I agree everyone is entitled to their own opinion I have to wonder why I, a born and bred New Yorker love this Pizza. I know good pizza when I eat it. So did "slice.seriouseats website", NewsDay, TimeOut, Zagat and New York magazine. Most individuals give their opinions but all agree SACs pizza is the best out there so I question yours. Did your $27.00 include the beer you ordered. Why didn't you look at the price before ordering. If you're main concern was the cost which appears to be your issue than complain about the price. Do not attack the food and the decor "which by the way a "fire place" is quite cozy during the winter". I'm not sure what occured but your review seems more like it's based on revenge and not a true analysis of the food. I've been eating at Sacs regularly for over 10 years and have never had rubbery pizza crust. INTERESTING. I highly recommend looking at the Sac's wine list, they also have one of the largest selections of by the glass. Pros: Great food, Family neighborhood feel Cons: none more

Mixed Feelings... 7/22/2006

I had order pizza from here a few times and it was excellent so I decided to try out the restaurant part of Sac's. I went there twice and left with the same mixed emotions. The service was slow both times despite it being a very small sized restaurant. They do however have some great bread that you can snack on while you wait. The food was good both times but was vastly overpriced for a small Italian restaurant in Queens. The quality/quantity of food does not support the prices. Pros: Pizza, Bread Cons: Service, Prices more

Delish! 5/31/2006

Have probably tried a little of everything on their menu, and can't seem to find anything I don't like! Putanesca is amazing; Four Cheese Gnocci is like ma's; can't go wrong with their Mama's Meatballs or Sausage; fahgheddaboud the pizza! Potentially the best pizza I've ever tasted. And... when you call for delivery... they'll deliver beer, too. Beer delivery with your pizza? Heaven!! (If you dine-in, the owner will usually ALWAYS stop by to see how your meal was. He bought us dessert once! Huzzah!) Pros: All the food, Staff, Beer delivery Cons: None. more

I would eat it out of a dumpster... 5/15/2006

Best. Pizza. EVER. Fresh mozzarella. Incredible sauce. Thin, crispy crust for the regular slices, and the best sicilian slice I've ever had. I feel bad for anyone who hasn't had Sac's pizza cause they haven't truly lived. more
