Sabatino’s

Maplewood is lucky to have this gem and I wish I still lived there. Glad some of my family still does so we can grab a couple of pies when we visit. Sabatinos is serving up some great pizza with perfect dough/crust base and fresh and interesting flavor ideas. We look forward to trying them all!

I recently went gluten-free and decided to give one of my favorite local pizza spots a try for their Cauliflower crust pizza (several others raved about it on social) and it DID NOT disappoint. Honestly, hands down, one of the absolute best Cauliflower crust pizzas that was thin crust and jam-packed with flavor. Above anything else, it truly hit in all the right places. Will definitely be purchasing again in the future.

Great place to try... The staff here are great.... Very pleasant and helpful. I enjoyed the pizza and mozzarella sticks and definitely would have them again. The garlic knots were not good they were stale and I did not enjoy them at all. I also tried the saba-roni fries.... They were good but I would say maybe the chili sauce should be on the side... My fries got super soggy from the sauce pooling at the bottom I guess some people may like that. Overall I would go again besides those 2 problems

Sabatino is a talented chef, and the quality/taste of his pies is a testament to his skills. He greatly cares about the customer experience - ingredients quality, service, and taste are all considered. Sabatino's is the place to go for the best pizza around - basta cosi!

This came up as a highly rated Pizzeria so I figured I would give it a go for the Pizza Hunters App. Parking is tough. You have to find a spot on a very busy street that has many trucks coming through at a high rate of speed. The service was excellent and the inside and outdoor areas were good to grab a slice and eat. The slice itself was not very good. The cheese was very chewy and no sauce. The slice in the bag was very greasy and it changed form in 5 min. 2 pie Yas.. Will give them another try at some point.

This is the first place I've ever seen a Chicken Alfredo slice. And it did not disappoint. The plain slices were delicious. And the pepperoni sausage slice was great. It had a slight spice which made it stand out from other places I've had that from. I think maybe they use hot Italian sausage? Want to go back to try more of their food. This being the first time here I would definitely go back again.

Solid slice. Great neighborhood pizza if you live in the area. Nice thin slice with a great taste. No need to add any seasoning. Only critique is that it is super greasy. My plain slice had enough oil/grease on the plate, you’d think I had a pepperoni slice. However, that’s not deterring me from going back for more pizza. 7.7 out of 10.

I usually don’t write bad reviews, but I feel like I have to this time because it’s a serious safety issue. The person making the pizzas went to the bathroom and came right back to roll the dough and make pizzas without washing his hands. You could clearly see his hands were dry when he came out, and he immediately started handling food again. Maybe it was a busy day, but that’s not an excuse when it comes to hygiene. On top of that, the staff were rude and unprofessional. I’m really disappointed food safety should always come first

this was pretty good pizza, i enjoyed grandmas pizza the most! we tried four different slices- the grandma, general tso's, vodka, & a standard cheese. the general tso's was definitely worth the try & tasty, but i don't think i'd get it again. the pizza crust was nice and crispy but soft and fluffy on the inside, just how i like it.

Ordered take up from this pizzeria and had a pretty solid experience from start to finish. The ordering process was seamless--simple, quick, and efficient on Grubhub that took about 45 minutes to eventually get delivered. I opted for the pasta with red sauce and meatballs, a Caesar salad, and a classic Margherita pizza. Each dish was delicious, starting with the pasta, which was perfectly cooked and coated in a rich, flavorful tomato sauce. The meatballs were tender and savory. The Caesar salad was fresh with crisp lettuce and just the right amount of dressing. The Margherita pizza was the highlight of the meal. The crust was thin, crisp, and slightly charred around the edges, with a delicate balance of tangy tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil. My only gripe is that it took almost an hour to receive the food. Overall, everything was generally solid & I'd definitely consider ordering again from this spot.

Came across a video that said this is SZA's childhood pizza place so I pulled up and it didn't disappoint. Both the regular and margherita slices were delish. We shared a buffalo chicken wrap which was also good and it came with a side of fries. Good vibes in there. Friendly staff. Would def recommend and not cause of my girl SZA but because the pizza was actually good!

The pizza is delicious and has good flavor . Not to thin not to thick perfectly balanced . The wings were small and not a lot of meat . They could be better. I would definitely be returning to try more flavors in the pizza.

Best pie around! Just melts in your mouth with flavor and goodness!!! Delicious crust. High quality ingredients and perfectly baked to perfection! The customer service is great and everyone is super friendly! Love love love this pizza place! Our go-to for pizza!

Placed an order via the Slice app for pickup. Order was ready on time. Got it home and it was still nice and toasty. Nice chewy dough/crust, nicely seasoned cheese and sauce. Really good pizza, would definitely reorder. Also got a Caesar salad. Romaine was fresh and crunchy, dressing was excellent...would definitely reorder that, as well. Overall 4.75/5, rounding up to 5/5 because Yelp.

Terrible pizza! We ordered the game day special with up to 100 pepperonis. Pizza was burned to a crisp, the crust was charred black and the same amount of pepperoni dominos would use on a pepperoni pizza. The supposed Sicilian crust was garbage and actually peeled up so you had a slice of bread and a New York thin slice with toppings not to mention we watched the driver through the app waiting on our pizza yet it got here almost cold. This pizza is trash and tasted like Pizza Hut.

So I'm At work I decided to get lunch I stop at this pizza spot Sabatino's the pizza is ok I ask for extra cheese sausage and pepperoni look how light the cheese is horrible the pizza is good but stop the cheapness I spent 12$ for 3 slices the guy working the counter looks like he just dabbed a lil more cheese on top I'm A lil disappointed so I'm gonna leave one star smh ‍

Was told my order was ready at 7:02. They then burned the pizzas, had to redo them and made me stand in 20 degree weather for 50 minutes waiting. I asked if I could come inside in the heat for a few minutes to stay warm as I waited for them to remake the pies and they refused. Worst customer service experience I have ever had at restaurant. Do not ever go here, and patronize this business!

Great takeout pizza option in the SOMA area. Love the special white pizza with zucchini and balsamic glaze.

First off let me say that the pizza here is amazing! A slice only costs around $3.20 and might be one of the best slices of cheese pizza I ever had. Drinks at Sabatinos are really fairly priced with a can of soda costing $1.20 which is cheaper than anywhere around. It is no wonder that famous celebrities have come to this pizza place like Dave Portnoy and SZA. The service is excellent with the moment you walk in the door being greeted. I would totally recommend this place especially if you are in the area.

Once again Sabatino's overachieves on excellence. Stopped by to grab a pair of slices for lunch. I highly recommend the General Tso specialty slices. The toppings compliment the exquisite dough texture. Splendid! You deserve this!

Fire. Absolute amazing food. There's some real thought going into each of the dishes. Sab is not afraid to experiment with flavors and to accommodate his customers (more like family). I highly recommend the general Tso pizza or chicken parm pizza. The tomato soup is also very hearty and house salad is divine. Really anything from Sabs is worth trying and I don't doubt it will be splendid. Super affordable and great welcoming vibe. Sabatino takes family recipes and personalizes them. 10/10!

What a great find in SoMa! This pizza place is legit. We ordered meatball and sausage and broccoli rabe sandwiches and got fresh baked rolls-hot out of the oven! We will be back for sure!

Upfront, the food is delicious. I've been ordering from here for 3 years because I think it's one of the better pizza places in the area. Having said that, I'll never order from here again after last night. I ordered a pizza online through Slice at 4:30 for a 5:30 pickup. Upon arrival I was told my pizza just went out with a delivery driver even though I ordered pickup. Turns out they sent my order out to be delivered to someone else. I was told the driver would be bringing my order back. A full hour later, I was told I was getting a refund and I can keep the pizza and a new pizza was being made. When the new pizza finally came out, they then tried to charge me full price after standing out in the cold for an hour because they gave away my first pizza. After an argument with the owner I was told to "take your food and go home", which I did. This morning I woke up to find that they added the charges back onto my slice account after I left the restaurant. Moral of this is review is that if Sabatinos messes up your order in any way( which they do often based on my past experience and other reviews), don't expect them to take any responsibility for it. Check for any refund they've claimed to have given because they are super shady and may not have actually given the refund. It's a roll of the dice if your going to get your food or a night of frustration

Great pizza take out! The title says it all. Great location next to O Canary on Valley. There's quick temporary parking outside. I called ahead and my pizza was ready. I had the general Tsao's pizza which I was initially skeptical about, but it turned out to be yummy. I probably wouldn't dine in.

Since the start of the pandemic, it has been fascinating to experience the range of responses from businesses, locally as well as nationally. We set out with some trepidation at the beginning of the summer, ordering at many of our beloved local establishments. Sabatino's pizza quality has remained at the same high level as always, now with the added changes of them moving to take-out orders only. Completely understandable, and it's also heartening to see that the staff wears gloves and masks, as far as I could see from my sidewalk waiting perch. Yet the wait times vary quite a bit here, probably more than at other pizzerias. Some days, the stated wait is 45 minutes to an hour. Other times, it can go as long as 90 minutes. This, in and of itself, wouldn't be a problem if the estimates were accurate, but on our last order (two pies: one plain, one veggie, which is pretty awesome) there were up to a dozen people outside waiting for their food. My own wait was a half-hour longer than expected, which seems longer when it's chilly outside and there's nowhere to sit. Again, the situation is understandable, although it appears that they are understaffed during high-volume periods. There's one guy making pizza and a few more folks in the back kitchen, and no doubt that it would be a challenge for anyone to operate in such strange times. If you're not looking for a last-minute dinner option at the start of the weekend, or if you order earlier than usual, chances are you'll have your order promptly. But make no mistake: The food is excellent. (The veggie pizza was a pleasant surprise, with eggplant and roasted tomatoes among the mix of edible goodies without a face.) We still haven't tried the chicken parm or other specialty pizzas but hope to as soon as things calm down. (For posterity, I've included the text of my previous review below.) When our family saw that a new pizzeria was opening in Maplewood, we kind of wondered why since there are some excellent places to get the ol' round sauce-cheese-crust creation. After visiting a couple of times, we are SO GLAD that they did open in a space on Valley Street. So far, we've only sampled the plain ("cheese" in non-NYC speak) pizza, which is absolutely exquisite and the basis for everything else any Italian-based eatery creates. The sauce is fresh and flavorful without being overpowering. The crust is the perfect balance between chewy and crispy in all the right places. The cheese appears in the correct proportion with its ingredient companions. The net effect is a perfect slice or pie. One member of our household calls it their favorite local pizza, hands-down. I'm inclined to agree, though I find that I am often in the mood for one or the other. We're excited to try some of the specialty slices and the chicken parm sub!

Stopped in for a slice for lunch on a weekday. I ordered the grandma slice which was really good. Giving a fair rating of 3 stars for the small space and the fact that there's other places in town that are just a bit better. Either way, I enjoyed what I ordered :)

Sabatino's is incredible. Is it the dough? The sauce? I especially love the grandma pizza. It's simply a chef's kiss every time we order!! Love this place so much.

This new pizza and Italian restaurant is quickly becoming a Maplewood favorite. The staff is as friendly as can be and the food is delicious. We ordered their signature roasted zucchini pizza, the "whole lotta burrata" pizza, and arugula and prosciutto on cauliflower crust. They were all fantastic. The roasted zucchini and burrata were both packed full of toppings and flavor. They do an especially good job with the details, like an extra drizzle of olive oil or balsamic. The dough was tender and had just the right thickness. The only thing I will say is that you need to eat it right away, because it gets tough and chewy as it cools and sets, so if your taking it home, keep it warm in the oven. This was my first time having a cauliflower crust pizza and it was great. Thin and crispy with a nice flavor. Everyone is so friendly and genuinely interested in engaging with the customers. This is definitely a great addition to the community.

Excellent pizza!! We ordered the general tsaos and cauliflower buffalo chicken pizza. It was phenomenal. We travel almost 25 min to go to Sabatino's and it's worth it! We have also ordered chicken chicken cutlet over pizza which was amazing as well. You can absolutely tell that the ingredients are fresh. The crust has the perfect balance of sweet and savory and the sauce is perfect. Highly recommend!

Sooo, i'm torn on what to leave as a review. I ordered fries, a 513 chicken sandwich, and a slice of pizza. The fries were definitely reheated and were terrible, i ended up just throwing them away. I actually thank them for that since i'm on a diet and shouldn't have ordered them anyway. Now, the chicken sandwich was very tasty and exactly what I had a taste for, but it did not include the garlic i requested, and the mozzarella was cold. I expected the cheese would be melted and not just placed on the sandwich cold. Aside from that it was good so I will order again and clarify my expectations next time. If i have a similar experience again I will drop the rating, but overall the taste was good. The slice was good and I would try the pizza again.

The pizza at Sabatino's lives up to its stellar reviews on Yelp. We walked by and placed an order for a small personal pie, which was ready in 10 minutes. The entire process was contactless and they had a very good system where patrons could wait in their cars until their names were called, limiting interactions with staff and other patrons in waiting. The pizza was wonderful: piping hot, heaped with melty cheese, with a generous amount of pepperoni. The sauce is homemade, tangy and garlicky, enjoyed by all including picky kids. The seasoning was perfect and I cannot wait to try out their more sophisticated combinations.

Not enough staff to handle calls. On hold 10 mins. Then called from different number and they answered right away so I placed an order. Went to pickup the pizza, that was even more of a disaster. There were people waiting 2 hours for slices, huge unorganized line in front of the shop. Somehow I got my two pies 20 minutes after my original pickup time which was great compared to others last night. The girl taking names was doing the best she could but not organized and had people and food waiting when they didn't need to be. The kitchen staff is a disaster and the main chef is rude to the staff and towards the customers. Pizza was terrible undercooked and just not good. Avoid this place like the plague!!!

For another pie today - large cheese half pepperoni and it's burnt - pay attention guys this isn't good.

I have not been ordering pizza in a long time because I never felt very safe since most of places had no protocol in place to avoid any contagion, and I'm happy I found Sabatino, because they really do a great job in this regard. Thank you! The pizza is also good, I enjoyed the Mimma pie. I would definitely return and try something else

Their pizza is one of the best pizzas I've ordered by the slice. After a very long and emotional day I decided to randomly look up a nearby pizza place and I'm so glad I found Sabatino's. I noticed they treat every customer like family, knowing their names and asking about what they're up to. It makes me wish I lived closer as my local pizzeria doesn't have half the customer service nor taste in food as they do. Despite not knowing me, and the very obvious drained and tired demeanor I had, they still made it a point to ask about my day and get to know me. While waiting for my pizza, I could tell the quality and love they put into their food just by how they add the finishing touches and double-check every order. I had the margherita slice, highly recommend.

Excellent pizza! The ingredients are so fresh and you can taste every single one each bite!!

Great pizza; today I bought their chicken pasta chicken slice, which to no surprise was outstanding. The cashier "A. James" was very helpful with recommending an order. Definitely coming here again.

Awesome pizza, the crust is thin and crispy. The quality of the ingredients are absolutely A+. It reminds me of old school east cost pizza with an upscale twist. Very authentic Italian American pizza. LOVE IT. And the owner is committed you can see it as he's standing behind the counter calling out orders. He cares and that alone is why it's better than any other pizza place in the area!

Great food, great service, good for family dinner or a quick bite. don't sleep on the sandwiches!

Their pizza is great. But do not pay until you've received your order. I was told they didn't have an item, offered a substitution, which I was happy to take. But the kid at the door could not tell me what else I could substitute it with so I didn't know what to say. He later said they would just refund the item. I was never refunded. If I go back will make sure to pay in cash or just not pay until I get my order. It's unfortunate because I've ordered a lot from here, but this experience has definitely left a sour taste and it seems like others have had some similar experiences. Great pizza. Poor customer service.

Great pizza, Great salads, and Great Sandwiches. The only thing better than the food is the service. Must haves: Sabaroni fries, Sunday dinner pie, Whole lotta burrata pie, Roasted Zucchini pie and the meatball parm sub.

Pizza--4.5 stars. Managing orders--1 star. This only pertains to Thursday-Saturday nights. Whether it's using the Slice app or calling in, Sabatino's hasn't figured out how much business they're able to manage when it's busy and the orders back up, to where it can take up to 2 hours to get your order. If they or the Slice app could give you an accurate time (even if it's 2 hours) for pick up, that would be fine. But there have consistently been over a dozen or more people (mostly delivery drivers) waiting for 30-45 minutes AFTER the Slice app or Sab's employees via the phone tell you that your order will be ready. This sucks because their food is so good, but will look elsewhere for now on predictably busy nights. They should stop taking orders at some point--a tough formula to figure out--I hope they do and I'll be back for sure.

A slice of zucchini pizza, especially straight out of the oven, is so wonderful, it worth a visit just to have that. Any other slice I have had had been very good, even excellent, but it just doesn't compare with the zucchini. And they have cold Yoohoos, as well as lots of soda and Snapple.

Got here at scheduled pickup time. Been waiting 30 minutes so far. Not their fault because the place seems to be run by polite teenagers. No adults on property.

I needed a place to have lunch today that was within a certain area and I only have an hour to spare. So when I came across Sabatino's I was intrigued. I read the reviews and decided this was a good choice. Well the great reviews were accurate! I had the mushroom pizza and it was delicious. The flavors were spot on and the crust was thin and crispy. My only disappointment was that we couldn't eat inside. They only had few tables and no AC but it was worth the trip. We eat our lunch in the car and enjoyed every bite! Therefore it got 4 stars and not 5. But we will go back soon and take our pizza to go'

I'm not a Facebook person so I missed much of the news about this new business in Maplewood. Visited last evening and I believe I've found "my new pizza joint ". The crust were cooked perfectly and the flavors were great. (Roasted Zucchini) We chose to carry out. A larger seating area would have scored five stars. If you're in the area looking for something unique, you can't go wrong with Sabatino's. We are proud to support local businesses, especially when they are "homegrown" and will return soon to try more of the special features on the menu. Well done Sab!

The big question--Grandma or Margarita? We get one of each, and no one in our family has a consistent favorite--they are both delicious. If you're in the mood for Chinese food, get the General Tso's Chicken...it's the best in the area, and it comes on top of an awesome pizza--crisp, fresh, and spicy.

Next level pie which far too many fail to get right. The place is super clean (obviously behind the counter as well-as it's a small joint and you can see production) with a ton of heart in quality ingredients. Owner super talented-super friendly and clearly invested in his food in this slammin joint. A must go for you, and a must return for me!

My go to pizza place!! Love the Margherita pie and the meatball Parm is delicious!! The kids love it

Went into here with my work crew. Easily the best pizza around. We all left satisfied, yet we wish the place to be bigger.

I love this place so much but hate it so much. The pizza is so great, but for the love of all pizza, they can't give you an accurate time to pick up your pizza. You call and order and it's going to be an hour and a half. Ok. But then you get there and have to wait 15,20, 30 or even 40 minutes or more. It's never ready on time. I love fresh pizza but they haven't even started making your pizza when you arrive at the time you are told. Why does the pizza have to be so good that I keep going back for the misery of waiting?? FYI, tonight's wait after arriving 35 minutes.

Simply the best. The wait can be long because of the demand so plan accordingly. The price is not inexpensive but the quality and quantity of the dishes support the cost. You will fantasize about the food after it's all gone. They are incredibly addictive. I could eat them every day. As far as ambiance, the outside dining works well for a warm overcast day.

Rob took our order The pizza was delicious Given great service -when the pizza slaps, give em a haiku

Its tough when COVID is here and you cant actually go into a place, Sabatinos is small but standing outside in the elements with a line does tend to make one want to leave.....good thing I didnt, wow is this pizza good. Fresh and with many varieties makes this place a must to visit. Its going to be a wait, no doubt there, especially on a friday, but well worth it

Sabatino's is a great, relatively new, addition to the SOMA food scene. No ambience to speak of, but that's no surprise, and beside the point, for a local pizza joint. Two of us, together, had 5 slices - 2 grandma, and one each roasted zucchini, roasted red pepper/spinach, and sausage/pepperoni. Uniformly delicious - and highly recommended.

If you're reading this now, you're probably debating whether or not this place is worth a try. I get it, you're used to your mediocre just okay pizza from your usual spot. You're not ready to experience perfection in edible form. And that's okay, if you're not that's truly your loss. You can go back to your boring run of the mill pizza you always get and continue on without it. But once you try Sab's it's almost a curse in a way, because no pizza will ever be as good again. No other pizza will compare. You'll search for it, you'll hope for it, at times even pray for it, but it won't exist. Sab has found some sort of inexplicable devine combination that other restaurants won't ever be able to live up to. This place will have to be your new regular and if you're not ready for that level of commitment, I fear this place may not be for you. Once you try it, there's no going back.

Best Meatball Parm EVER!!! I only wish they offered pizza options in smaller sizes.
