Sauce Pizza & Wine

Love The Sauce… What Can You Say… It’s In Dana Park TheName Is Sauce & Who Doesn’t Love A Finer Pizza!

Attentive and friendly service and great food! Suprema pizza, salmon and kale salad, portobello and artichoke, bruschetta, and chocolate chunk cookie are all a must!

Went tonight with my family. Ordered All on one ticket. They said my husbands lasagna would take longer. That was fine we ordered a salad so that should give us time to eat our salad. 2 minutes after the salad came out my sandwich came out. I asked his my husbands ready to come out, «oh yes». 10 minutes goes by my son gets his dinner. Another 10 minutes no husband dinner. I asked about it, said we had planned to eat as a family. She said oh well I’ll bring you another sandwich so it will be hot when your husband gets his. Ok… Nope. My husband gets his dinner & the lady says «oh do you want me to make you a new sandwich now?» So now my husband would have to wait to eat his dinner!!! I just shut up and ate my cold sandwich. Meanwhile there are 5 people working there standing around doing nothing. Never again! Pricey & cold.

I like this place because it’s fast and fresh. I usually stop in for lunch and get the chopped, veggie salad and tomato soup. The flavors in the salad are crisp and bright! Food usually comes out quickly.
Yesterday I decided to mix it up and get the turkey/​gouda sandwich with pesto instead. I have to say, if this was the first time and the first thing I ordered from Sauce I would never go back… that’s how bad it was. Barely any pesto, lackluster flavor. That sandwich was so disappointing… the only thing I enjoyed on that plate was the red pepper used as a garnish. So guess I’ll stick with my salad, I try to go early as that place fills up pretty quickly!

They have the best tomato soup I have ever encountered. I also really enjoyed their Caprese bruschetta. Pretty good pizza (last time it tasted pretty dough-​y to me), not one of the best that I’ve had, but good for the price.

This place has been around for years and I can’t believe I have overlooked it for so long. I took my son and a friend on Sunday and I had a roasted winter vegetable salad that I fell in love with. Perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts, squash, cauliflower, cranberries and walnuts in a light vinaigrette. So good on its own, but I added chicken and it was all the mire delicious. I thought about that salad all week so I went back today and ordered it again. I’ll probably be back in a few days!

I love Sauce! I have been here once and will definitely be back. The food was great! They were kinda busy and our food arrived in no time. The service was caring, helpful and friendly. I really have no complaints!
The portobello, artichoke, goat cheese bruschetta has to be the best thing I’ve ever tasted! It’s so good and feeds four people for only four and a half dollars. (As an appetizer and everyone gets a piece).

Sauce has the kind of thin-​sliced pizzas you can’t stop grubbing (lol). I usually order the chicken sausage pizza with sweet grilled onions. I believe it’s eight slices per pie. They also make those amazingly huge chocolate cookies which you will be tempted to grab and run away with since you can see them there staring at you on the counter next to the cashier. The location is great and the employees are friendly. Their service is quick, in less than 15 minutes they have my pizza ready when I do takeout. Their prices are reasonable. Never a disappointment.

I love this place. The food is always great and the service is even better. At many restaurants, you never see the manager unless there is a problem. At Sauce, the manager is usually out front and interacting with guests. On our last visit, my son had the Meatball and Mozzarella Panini and loved it. It was more than he could eat. I had the Chicken Caesar and Parmesan Pizza — which was unique and delicious. We love stopping in here when we’re in town (frequently).

Excellent food and a friendly staff. Lots of options and all reasonably priced. Great place for lunch or dinner. Love the outdoor patio!

My wife and I have been going to the Sauce at Dana Park for years. We actually went here on our first date.
The food is always consistent and tasty. My wife loves the Chicken Caesar Pizza as well as the Lasagna. I always get either the Meatball Panini or a thin crust Pepperoni and Caramelized Onion Pizza. Or sometimes both.
The main reason we love this Sauce though is the service. Always friendly and helpful. Accurate and quick. We always see Justin, the GM, whenever we are there. He is so kind and genuinely cares about our family.
Always a great time at Sauce.

The chef robert is awesome. He was very nice to my autistic child. He even made him a gluten free dessert just for him. Very nice staff. We plan on coming back again.

C & I stopped by on our way to his performance in Pinocchio. I have been a fan of Sauce since the first time I stopped by the original in Tucson years ago. C had never been here before however. I’ve always liked how the restaurant feels. The exposed brick & modern furnishings, pictures on the wall all make it very pleasant. However, here is where I have to toss in one of the negatives. This location can get loud. There’s really nothing to absorb the ambient noise floating around so as the place gets busier, and louder, it can become a bit intrusive. If the noise is too much for you, outside you will find a nice patio which you pass as you enter the front doors.
The menu covers pizza, pasta, panini’s, salads, soups, kids meals & desserts. They offer a decent selection of wine & beer as well. The person who took my order was very pleasant, he read the order back to me which I appreciated. He gave us our table number and off we went to find a seat. So yes, this is yet another fast casual restaurant where you order at a counter, get a number and find a seat and they bring your food to you.
C and I ordered the Build Your Own Pizza ($ 7.75) and added Sausage ($ 1.00). We chose the Artisan Hand stretched crust. The crust came out pretty good although I did feel it could have been left in the oven another minute or two. The sausage was not overly spicy and had good flavor. Winner winner sausage pizza dinner.
Lovely décor, nice patio, good food, fair prices, nice staff, loud accoustics. 4.5 Stars.

We ordered a watermelon salad and a customized pizza with a variety of vegetables, mozzarella cheese, and grilled chicken. The person who took our order read it back to us to make sure it was correct. It was correct. I preemptively gave a decent tip before our food came out.
Our server was very friendly and brought us our food. Everything was great, except the grilled chicken was missing from the pizza. I mentioned this to the server and he said he had to speak with the manager. After some time passed, we were hungry and started eating our chicken-​less pizza. He asked if I wanted some grilled chicken on the side, but I asked for a refund instead. We waited for awhile, and was asked if we wanted a cookie instead. No I didn’t want a cookie, so he gave me $ 1.50.
Well, I’ll definitely come back because it was still tasty, but shouldn’t a order be pretty easy to read especially when the main ingredient is grilled chicken? I’m sorry, but taking a food order shouldn’t be like a game of telephone.
Addendum: I was contacted with an apology so I’m going to change the review from a 3 star to a 4 star.

I love sauce, the food is always good.
I have gotten to go orders before and its always ready on time. Every time I have came here its been great food and service.
I usually get the Mariana and pasta. My tired the chicken mac n cheese once, it wasn’t my cup of tea and the manager was nice enough to trade it out for my regular without charging me.

These guys are awesome — food is always great and the service very friendly. Love the turkey and feta salad (sub chicken for me!)

My husband and I have been to Sauce a few times now. Everyime we visit, it is a terrific experience. The pizza and salads are delicious and fresh, perfect portion sizes, and the décor is very Italian inspired. The prices are just right, with a menu that’s very easy to read. They offer the basics, and they are fabulous. The décor is very cozy and inviting, with outdoor seating as well. The staff is exceptional! From the person taking your order, to the person delivering, they are super friendly, and inviting. They always have a smile on their faces, and genuinely seem to be enjoying where they work. We will definitely continue to dine at Sauce!
P. S. Their tiramisu is wonderful!

Fresh ingredients and excellent sauces are the stars at this restaurant. We ate here for lunch and in addition to the indoor seating, there is an outdoor patio for al fresco dining.
After browsing through the menu, I decided on the meatball panini. The order came out quickly, but I was surprised to see that the sandwich was placed in a thin, folded over pita-​like bread rather than a thicker panini bread. Since it was only folded over and thin it was hard to eat it without the meatballs falling out of the sandwich. Additionally, the sandwich came with a marinara dipping sauce. The sauce itself was superb but any attempts to dip the sandwich in the sauce also resulted in the meatballs rolling out of the sandwich.
The actual ingredients were good though. The meatballs were hearty with good flavor, and the thin bread was nicely toasted.
If I eat here again I probably won’t be getting the meatball panini, but perhaps another lunch item will be less unwieldy to eat!

While Sauce is always good, this time wasn’t our favorite. Pizza was a bit too burnt and lacked its flavor. Service was great. We aren’t sure if it’s this location or just an off night.

Solid 4 stars.
Service=5. The gal taking our order was friendly and helpful; ditto for everyone else who served us.
Appetizer=5. Roasted portobello and artichoke bruschetta was great!
Vegetable salad=4. The contents were good but I felt it needed something to make it pop.
Red sauce and mozzarella pasta=4. The pasta shells were on point. The sauce though tasted similar to the marinara sauce at Costco.
Molly’s Caramelized Creation pizza= 5. We substituted the bacon for mushrooms but it was delicious. I imagine it would have been even more so with the bacon.
The rolls= 3. Taste of bread was good but it was very hard. Maybe if they warmed it a bit prior to serving…
Overall great experience!
