This spot totally hits the mark when you're craving comfort food. My favorite dish is the mac & cheese. Game… Changer... The cavatappi noodles are the perfect match for that rich, creamy cheese sauce. Like, it’s the kind of dish you think about later and wish you had leftovers lol. It’s a simple thing but I love that they serve complimentary rolls with the pasta because I can eat all the sauce up! Their pizzas? Always fresh, always fire. I’m vegetarian so I stick to the basics but besides the plain cheese I do also like the White Pizza too. Okay now our fave thing to get before we leave are their cookies. They’re soft, gooey, and just magic, not your average cookie. Trust me, get one (or two). The staff is super friendly and actually knows the menu and will give great suggestions. Plus, seating inside or out depending on your vibe (and the weather, obvi). Now the only negative we have encountered so far is parking. It can be a bit of a hassle during peak times, because you have to pay and walk a bit but honestly, it’s worth the mini hunt if you can’t get parking up close. Overall, a solid spot and highly recommend to our friends & fam! Sauce Pizza & Wine is the vibe.

I am so pleased that I happened by this sweet little spot after the christmas boat parade! You order at the counter, if you can decide! The menu is extensive and everything sounded AMAZING! I ordered the white pizza with pesto chicken, fresh mozzarella & marinated tomatoes. Sooooo good! As suggested, I also got their spicy ranch to dip the crust. 10/10. The food came out quickly, the salads were fresh and the guy in the pizza costume was the best part. Great seating inside and outside and really fun to get the dinner rolls before the meal. I would def. stop back for dinner or lunch! Great job!

It was actually good, the servers are nice at this location as well! I got a side salad but they ended up giving me a large one instead which was nice. It’s always nice to get served by people who are also nice. Recommend the small pizza and something else, it’s always good and never a miss! Kids love it.

Salmon kale salad is pretty good, except that the veggie is not all kale; it has some lettuce too. Meatball spaghetti has only two meatballs; but taste is good. Draft beers are good too. Didn’t try the wines though.

Thin crust pizza with spicy chicken and garlic knots. The staff were friendly and helpful. The place looked clean and the noise level was average. I recommend call ahead and order if you don’t want to wait over 15 minutes, typical as most fresh made pizza pizzerias. The crust and the other items were cooked properly, nothing burnt. The taste did not stand out, I tasted mainly the cheese. For me a pizza is about the crust and sauce, which was lacking the kick a pizza sauce should have.
