Tony Sacco’s Coal Oven Pizza

I keep coming back to Tony Sacco’s again and again — A fact that surprises me, because service is highly variable if at times just not good at all. I must therefore conclude that I really like their pizza! And, I do!
Pies are hand-​tossed and wood-​fired, and absolutely loaded with toppings. The pepperoni is my favorite, with meaty slices overlapping to cover nearly every available surface. I appreciate that there is a personal size, in addition to the tradition small through large selection. Salads leave something to be desired, so I would skip them all together.
A call ahead to-​go order is probably your best bet to avoid the annoyance of potentially bad service, while still enjoying great pizza!

Worst experience I have ever had at a Resturant. There was only one waiter for the entire resturant at lunchtime. As you can imagine service was very slow. The waiter did not have anything to write our order down on so he used a napkin. He brought our drinks to our table by resting them against his chest instead of using tray, he mixed up our food orders to the point where it was impossible to figure the checks out separately. Where we sat there were spiderwebs all over the picture and wall — right next to our heads and above our table. It took my co-​workers and I seventy minutes to complete our lunch. Needless to say we won’t be returning.

Flavor on the capo was delish! Pretty dead in here on alunch hour, crust was a bit burtn but flavor was still delishiouse so can’t really fault it.

Terrific pizza: great thin crust, perfect amount of fresh store-​made sauce, and lots of fresh basil. Nice atmosphere, if a little too casual. Lose some of the TVs so there’s a little more choice, but there is a small outdoor seating area. I’ll be going back for more!

To me, this is one of the best pizza places (if not the best) in the Ann Arbor area. Have been here a couple of times now and it’s hardly ever busy. They have a nice bar with a happy hour every day and about 10 – 12 beers on tap.
For a starter, I had their oven roasted wings, which was excellent (love the garlic that comes with it). For my pizza option I went with the capo (pepperoni, sausage, basil, garlic, etc) and that was also on point and great. I have also had their chicken Caesar wrap and that too is excellent.
Overall this is simply the best coal oven pizza (which is the type of pizza served here) that I have ever had. If you want pizza in Ann Arbor, this is on the short list of places to have.

This is great pizza. We had a hard time deciding, but ended up ordered margherita and capo personal pizzas. First recommendation — one personal pizza is not enough (either that, or I’m fat, or both?).
Margherita pizza — As you may know, it’s a pizza with tomato sauce with fresh mozzarella cheese and basil. At Tony Sacco’s they add fresh basil (and olive oil) to all their pizzas after it is baked. This was an excellent pizza despite not having any meat! Nice fresh taste and good proportion of sauce, dough and cheese. Nothing was too overwhelming.
Capo pizza — Tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage,
roasted onions & roasted mushrooms. Although this had meat, I think I liked the margherita pizza more. Not to say this wasn’t good because it is. The only (very slight) downside to this is that I thought the sausages were a tad bit salty. Other than that, it was a great pizza.
Wanted to try the strawberry shortcake dessert, but apparently (according to our server) they don’t «have dessert.» I was confused since it was on their menu, but oh well. Service was kind of lacking despite a not-​so-​busy time.
TIP: Could see this as a possible venue for watching major sporting events, especially with the bar they have on the side. Only drawback though is that service might limit the experience.

Went here after a meeting in AA. I tried to remember places to go since I haven’t worked in that area in a while. We stumbled on this restaurant.
We kept it simple by ordering just a pepperoni pizza. Very good thin crust coal oven taste. We really enjoyed it. The service was fast and friendly. The bathrooms clean. The prices were fairly reasonable. This is a place for me to remember when I’m back in A squared.

Reasonably priced decent food and fast service!
Ordered a half house salad to split — fresh simple salad. Sausage and peppers/​onions app — decent but nothing special and would not order again. Ordered 2 personal pizzas (the Aloha and Marco Polo) for 3 people and it was plenty — pizzas were very good.
Atmosphere is not great — feels like a fast/​casual type restaurant with table service.

I’ve given them a few more chances, but we just never hit it off.
Food is 3-​stars, though I find it odd they still can’t make a crispy crust — the options are apparently either «soggy» or «burnt.» Salads are good. Service is spotty. Most servers are friendly and helpful, but not always. And the atmosphere just feels like an upscale Cici’s.
#1 reason for a 1-​star review? The management. And bartender. (Well, once he told me he was the owner, last time the manager). Anyway, the chubby guy with the perennial shorts is simply a dufus when it comes to service. On my last/​final visit, both he and the bartender gave one server hell for helping us — when no one else did!!! He was so unconcerned with anything happening in the restaurant, he failed to notice all the cascading issues that were ruining many meals. Once we got his attention, he was argumentative and treated us as unwelcome guests. His language and demeanor were worse than I would expect at the aforementioned Cici’s. And, as I showed him, our pizza was both black on the bottom AND soggy/​raw at the same time. He did not offer to remake it, refund it, or… well do anything.
Two years to work out the bugs and you haven’t. No wonder you have to offer so many promotions to try and bring people in (or back). My money deserves better.
p. s. if you do go, try to get a table that doesn’t wobble.
