Sauce Pizza & Wine

Since the sale of Sauce from Fox, this place isn’t the same. I just placed a take out order for a salad and caprese bruschetta and it took 36 minutes! The service isn’t as sharp and the food is changing. The bread in the bruschetta is different, thinner and not fresh. Disappointed, this use to be one of my go to favorites! :(

First of all, don’t confuse «Sauce» with all the new Pizza places popping up, like «Pie Five,» «Pizza Me,» and «Fired Pie.» At «Sauce,» you still order at the counter, but you should plan on it taking a good 10 – 15 minutes for you to get your food, and also for it to be worth the wait.
The service here is great. Everyone is very courteous, even when they’re incredibly busy.
I’ve really enjoyed my food both times I’ve been there. I had the Chicken Pesto Pizza, and while I wasn’t a fan of the crust, the pizza as a whole was outstanding and very fresh.
I also tried the Salmon & Kale Salad. Actually I ordered it with Chicken instead of Salmon at someone’s recommendation, but they brought Salmon by mistake. Still very good.
Overall, this is a great restaurant. If you don’t mind hanging out a bit, come in and sit down. If you’re in a rush, I would recommend ordering To-​Go in advance.
Enjoy!

We stopped by Sauce after leaving the Fairmont hotel’s Christmas lights. We were looking for yummy, fast pizza and Sauce was perfect! We ordered a pepperoni pizza and a sausage pizza and both were great. Also ordered a side salad. Would give it 5 stars but kids declared the crust too «crunchy and flaky and charred» and husband declared the salad «had too many weeds in it». Other than that… perfect. Hot, yummy, fast pizza.

I’ve been coming to this location since it opened. They have always been near perfect on their take-​out orders — going over the order with you before you leave. Twice in two weeks I was unhappy. The first time, I arrived home and my pizza was cold. It was like someone ordered the same as I did and didn’t show up so they held it until they could unload it on someone else. The second time, I mentioned the pizza to one of the crew members (I didn’t see any management) and he brushed it off. When I got home, they forgot the dressing for the salad. I went back to get the dressing and I received no apology.
It seems that ever since they were bought out, it’s gone a bit downhill. I think the new owners need to get back to running the take-​out section like it used to be. Disappointing as this was always my number 1 go-​to for take out.

Amazing pizza and service! I have celiac disease and the gluten free pizza is the best pizza i have had!

After ordering my Kale Salmon salad and sitting on the bench for 25 min, still nothing. The person I was waiting with had already received their food, several people that were behind me whom ordered pizza’s had already received their food and left.
When I asked again about my salad they said they were still making it since they were trying to figure out what to do since they ran out of salmon again. They decided to give me chicken… UM…Were you going to ask the customer if that was okay? What if I didn’t like chicken or had an allergy? The guy says, oh oops they haven’t talked to you yet… UM no.
Finally 10 min later I get a salad with chicken. It’s missing half the ingredients this salad comes with. All that’s in here is romaine lettuce, some kale and chicken and the dressing. Missing the farro, currants and cashews. At least they gave me $ 3 back for the cost of the salmon, but at this point they should have just refunded me for the 40 min it took to get a salad and not even what I ordered. Maybe take a look at your inventory and start ordering salmon if you run out often? Just a thought.

I came into sauce today around 3pm and received the worst service ever. First I go up to the counter and ask do you guys have white pizza and all he said was yes and rang it in not even telling me what the pizza was! Then he dropped the food off and we asked for another bread for all our soup and he just nodded and walked away and never came back. Then as we are finishing we ask the young girl for a box for our pizza and she never came back just stood up front talking to her coworkers. Really disappointing this place has great food and terrible employees.

I always forget about this place! I need to frequent it more often! Always great food, clean restaurant and relaxed atmosphere. I had a mistake with my order and the employees were so accommodating, the manager even came and brought me my new pizza. EXCELLENT example of customer service, I was very impressed.

Just felt compelled to write a quick review of Sauce. My company orders from here ALL the time, everything is always spot on as far as substitutions, correct orders, and anything extra that we might have requested.
I can really appreciate exceptional customer service and I was in there Tuesday around lunchtime and I completely forgot my wallet at the office, I offered to call in with the number or even use my husbands card over the phone but they don’t have capability to do that so the manager just comped it — maybe she recognized me because I’m there weekly but it was very appreciative and it’s rare to find companies that go above and beyond these days!

I’ve never been disappointed in this place. Now that it’s summer, they have a $ 20 summer special where you get a salad, pizza, and two glasses of wine… perfect for a dinner date :) I love their turkey feta salad, and you can ask to substitute the lettuce for spinach which is even more amazing! We tried the chicken pesto pizza for the first time, and wasn’t disappointed at all. I always love stopping by for a nice casual dinner… there’s so much to choose from!

QUALITY spot.
excellent service and management.
pretty much ALL fresh-​made food/​high-​level ingredients.
manages the lunch rush well. (efficient food runners, bussers, etc.)
plenty of parking.
high-​ish prices but it’s scottsdale and it’s worth it for the quality.
solid.

This is one our families go to quick casual spots for lunch or dinner. Nothing fussy, just good food that comes pretty quick.
It’s a walk up, order, seat yourself kinda place.
Always busy but magically there is always somewhere to sit too.

Totally a fan of this place.
The pizza is great both thin and hand tossed.
The spinach salad and Caesar salad are also very tasty. Not a fan of the chicken that they put in their salads, so I get it without the chicken.
The employees have been nice all the times I have been so no complaints there.

I absolutely love this place! The chicken and pine nut salad is fabulous, as well as the chicken pesto pizza, for my not-​as-​healthy days. Other pizzas are also good and the roast beef panini. The chocolate chip cookies are fabulous!
The restaurant is very clean and the staff very friendly. I actually pick up food more than I dine in and I am always impressed with how they repeat your order back to you and show you everything before you leave with it so you know your order is correct. I’m here at least twice a month!

Quick and easy spot to grab a quick lunch. I have had their Broccoli and chicken pasta and their winter salad. Both were good. I love that they bring you a roll when you eat there.
I absolutely love their triple chocolate chip cookie. It Caramelizes to a nice crisp.

Love the pizza, salad, pasta, and Panini. Basically everything is good. Food comes fast and service is good. I always grab and go because the restaurant is like a dorm dining hall.
Save room for a fresh chocolate chip cookie.

We came to Sauce for lunch on our way to a Diamondbacks game. It was my first time, and I had some pretty high hopes. I am a BIG fan of pizza, and with a name like Sauce, they must have good pizza.
Fired Pie opened a few months ago, and while the pizzas are smaller, and cheaper, they taste better. However, the range of toppings is impressive at Sauce. They also have pasta and an impressive wine and beer list.
Glad I got the chance to try it, but if I had to pick, I would pick Fired Pie over this place all day long. Good, but not great. Although, it does have a fun atmosphere. Makes me feel like I’m in Italy!

Knowing Sauce is part of the Sam Fox Restaurant group is part of the reassurance of a quality.
Order at the counter from a menu chalkboard with a good selection of pizza, salads and pasta.
I have had so much pizza lately that I will have to come back another time to try the huge selection of combinations.
This time we shared the lasagne, meatball panini, pasta with meatballs and mac and cheese. Each was very good and pretty small in size portions.
The décor is very simple with brick style walls and a drink dispenser.
Very simple and casual, reasonable in price and not the usual Sam Fox Restaurant.
Will come back to try other items and certainly the pizza.

I’ve always driven by this place but never really had a desire to try this place. My son kept on asking if we could go here today and I gave in. So it’s our day on this place. Both my son and daughter has been here multiple times so I guess we’ll give it a try.
The interior is nice with brick and decorated somewhat contemporary. The menu is on a big black board so you have to figure out what you want before you order. Fairly good sized menu. Once you order, they bring the food to your table.
I had the Meatball Paninis which was actually pretty good. Really good and tasty. They give you potato chips on the side. My wife and son split the pepperoni and sausage pizza. Thin crust and they give you about 8 slices. Really good and they enjoyed it. My son also had their Mac & Cheese which was gobbled up. So what can I say but the food was terrific. Only problem is that it’s a good portion but on the side of not enough. I left feeling a little hungry still.
They come by and pick up your empty dishes in a really timely manner so there weren’t any table with dirty dishes. The staff was very friendly and did a good job.
So overall, I enjoyed the meal and the experience there. I would say that this place is a good lunch spot and not sure for dinner. So enjoy.

I’m a HUGE Fox restaurant fan. Huge. (I think it’s because of the time I spent in their birthplace of Tucson)
Did you know that Sauce has $ 3 wine specials from time to time? Nice. I’m a big fan of the entire menu. The salads are delicious and filling. 2 new salads are available for the winter (see my uploaded photo of the menu).
Service is quick and friendly.
My personal favorite menu items are: Chicken, Spinach & Apple Salad, side of Mac n Cheese (for when you just want some kid food!), Salmon & Kale salad, and the Wild Mushroom & Truffled Arugula pizza
