Sabatino’s Pizza

Always great and friendly. Parking is a plus. perfect downtown location. Thanks guys!

Hands down, the worst pizza I’ve ever had. Zero flavor and no sauce. This is only the second time I’ve ever used Unilocal and I’m really sorry, but, it was awful. Even my husband didn’t like it and he’ll eat anything!

Amazing food, good service and a great atmosphere!!! Always good service even though it’s a late night atmosphere!

No clue where or what year the photos of the slices depicted were taken but they have little relevance to what I was served tonight at Sabatino’s Pizza. Don’t say NY style when your not, because it offends the New Yorker greatly. I have probably eaten 10,000 or more slices of Pizza in my time here on Earth and don’t think I have ever seen less cheese on a slice of pizza anywhere. They have this big bin of Mozzarella sitting there and you look at the slices and start scratching your head wondering if the bin of Mozzarella is a year’s supply. They don’t put corn meal on the bottom of a slice in NY either. You are basically paying $ 3 a slice for a thin layer of zero flavor crust with no cheese and very little low quality sauce. The good news is if you are lactose intolerant you will be 100% fine here. If you ever wondered why places like Domino’s stay in business, here is your answer. I don’t even think this would be appealing if I was on day 20 on the show Naked and Afraid.

Girlfriend and myself went, I got a sub and she got two slices. The two slices of pizza were huge and she couldn’t finish it by herself. And the subs tasted great! Good lunch deals would definitely recommend. Only knock on this place is that they had no forks at the time.
EDIT: The next day after eating at this place I got food poisoning, and I assume this is the place I got it because my girlfriend and I shared all other food we are that day besides here. Pizza was great, don’t get the sandwiches

Awesome 2 slice and a drink deal $ 7.25 and the slices were HUGE !!! 1ST time today but definitely not the last !!!

In town from L.A. for a business conference. Saw Sabatino’s from the hotel window and it triggered a craving. Walked across the street to give it a try. AMAZING! I’ve got to say it was by far the best NY style pizza I’ve ever had. Perfectly crispy thin crust with excellent foldability. Had to force myself to not eat the whole pie.

Very solid New York style pizza. Great for a quick lunch or a late night post bar crawl meal. The place is pretty small but the staff is friendly and there is more than enough room for you to grab a quick bite. I will be returning here in the near future.

I’m honestly surprised at the reviews here that gave Sabatino’s one star. This was my go to place while attending CofC to grab a slice and I’ve always had a positive experience. It’s some of the best quality pizza I’ve had downtown and great calzones as well. Obviously if you order your own pie it will be more expensive than if you’re just grabbing a couple of slices but if you’ve got a large group of people the issue isn’t the place you’re ordering from it’s the people you’re surrounded by.

I wish I could give less than one star we ordered pizza on a Saturday night — it took 10 minutes to place an order. Then — we were quoted a 30 min delivery time and 1 hour later I called for the status. They lost my order and we’re not apologetic. Then I called again at 1 am and saif the delivery was leaving and guess what — it never showed up! They took my credit card information as well. Also what kind of late night pizza place doesn’t have breadsticks? Ugh. So upset.

We were exhausted on our last night of our vacation to the area and decided to just order pizza in to our hotel. I ended up paying over $ 40 for two small pizzas and a 2 liter of pop but I was hoping it would be worth it. It was not. The pizza was cold and just looked awful right away. It looked like it had been sitting all day! The toppings on the veggie were just gross. They all tasted like they came out of a can and they had gone bad! Awful! We also had the red and white pizza with sausage which was better than the veggie but still not great. Definitely not worth the money. We barely ate the pizza and had to get it out of our hotel room because it almost made us sick and it even smelled awful.

Worst pizza I ever ate. Toppings were from a can and a jar. Crust had no flavor. who wants slmmy mushrooms. Sauce had no taste either

If you are longing for NY pizza and you are in the South then Sabatino’s is the place for you. I am a Californian who loves me some NY pizza and this place hits the spot. Do I miss crazy toppings that are indicative of California style pizza? Yes, but NY pizza has its charms. I went in and spoke with the owner and he was nice that made me believe in this place outside of just great food. This is the place everyone who is going out drinking talks about.
I found myself across the street from this place around 7:00pm and strolled on in. I have tried other pizza places and they just do compare. I can name other places on the same street that are good but greasy and scalding hot.
Now I think the prices are little high in comparison to places I have known in other cities, but hey lots of options usually drives prices down.
I have never gone here when all the drunkards are out and crowding this place so understand the experiences may be different given the time of day you go. When I went it was near empty. I got 2 slices of pepperoni pizza and garlic knots and they were good. They were pepperoni on slices with sauce. If you want cheese that is a different topping. Trust me, I liked it as they are. The garlic knots are really garlicly and I love that
This isn’t a place where you go after a kick ball game with your friends and get drinks and pizza. They are too small for that. This is the place you order from or get slices from.
I would honestly like to give this place more then 4 stars and would give them a 4.5 if I could. What is holding them back is things they cannot really control. They don’t have the space to breed that place that you go. In terms of quick pizza places then it is a 5. Unilocal should be out of 10 points, but that is a different story.
If you love NY pizza and are in Charleston, go here.

Hands down the worst pizza I have ever had anywhere. I moved down from New York in September and have been on the hunt for some good pizza in charleston but have had no luck. This pizza had a terrible cheese to sauce ratio, it was undercooked and the crust was soggy because it was so thin and saturated with grease. As soon as you pick it up the entire front half flops down. The crust was white not a nice deep golden brown. The guys in there are nice but the pizza is simply awful. This is no where even close to New York City pizza. Another thing I have found is that many of the pizza places down here have these huge slices. I’m sorry but bigger is not always better. Work on getting a normal sized slice right.

Definitely a good place to grab some pizza and a meatball parm sub. I’m visiting for the week and was missing home. Good crust on the pizza, and a perfect NJ personality behind the counter.

Ordered 2 cheese slices. It was okay.
No offense but, I’ve had better.

Not bad pizza, actually it’s very good. Please keep in mind this is not by any means a fancy-​schmancy restaurant. But it is good and it is affordable. Specialty pizzas are made by the pie. The tastiness of the pizza and the great customer service make up for the décor. Will definitely come back the next time in Charleston!

If you’re thinking about ordering delivery, take my advice and do not order from this place. After room service for my hotel stopped serving, I turned to Sabatino’s for a very late dinner. I was told the pizza would arrive in 30 minutes; it took an hour and forty minutes. The pizzeria is located exactly four minutes from my hotel. At the one hour mark, I called the place back to check on status only to be informed that the pizza had just been put into the oven and it would be another 10 – 15 minutes. The unapologetic tone with complete lack of urgency or concern was infuriating. Forty minutes later, I received 3 repeated phone calls from the poor soul physically delivering the pizza since the dispatcher sent him to THREE incorrect hotels before arriving at the correct address. The pizza was cold and the dough/​crust was slightly undercooked. The only reason I am giving this a 1 star is because Unilocal will not let me rate this place with zeros.
Worth noting that the delivery company (quickfoxes) was lovely, but they are not owned by Sabatino’s.

Not sure where the rest of these reviews came from, because this pizza was terrible! Virtually no sauce or cheese & the toppings were very light as well. I luv a good slice of NY pizza, but this is not anything close to the good stuff. Skip this place and try somewhere else.

My friend Johnny and I stopped in here late night on Saturday just before the bars let out for some much needed nourishment. We were starving so I’m sure we were pretty easily pleased… alcohol can do that to you.
I am originally from Boston and he is from NY so northern style pizza is something we both can attest to. We just had a couple slices of cheese and the flavor was way up there. They must use good ingredients. It was insanely thin, but not crispy. I like my za to be a bit firmer but every place does pizza different. The only downside was that it was so thin I felt like it wasn’t very filling. I ended up getting a third slice of pretty mondo slices, and I felt like I could have eaten three more. It may have been the booze talking but I really felt like there wasn’t much to it.
Great pizza overall. Not the best I’ve had in the area, but I was impressed.
