3,5. Fair food large portions. Poor wait staff , but we were there near closing might give another chance

I love Saggios! But I am sitting across from the counter where I just ordered in total disbelief. I ordered dinners for me, my wife and my daughter, went to order Tiramisu and the lady taking my order said that Saggios no longer sell it! Are you kidding me...an Italian restaurant and there's no Tiranisu? Olive Garden has it, Joe's Pasta House has it, M'tucci's has it. Saggio's, please bring back the Tiramisu, I like your the best! read more

Love their tiramisu! They have an assortment of cheese cakes and deserts. We love ordering their pasta Alfredo. Lunch portion is also huge and very tasty. We have picked up lunch and wait is not long and customer service is great. read more

Best fettuccine alfredo in New Mexico by far!!!!! They also have fabulous pizza, and their food comes super hot from Door Dash.

very kind workers, amazing food, would def rely recommend to ANYONE, I play football at UNM and being a student on campus and on the football team it gets rough sometimes. Coming to Saggios is always a welcoming and yummy experience. read more

This is a tough review to write. I like the place because it has undeniable charm and uniqueness. But the food just can't reach greatness, and I don't think it ever will. Funny thing is, that's OK. I'm giving it 4 stars for everything combined. The food by itself gets 3 stars. I generally go to Saggios either to watch a game on their multitude of TVs or to get a ton of food for the money. I usually get two meals out of each visit, unless I'm extremely hungry after a workout or something. Saggios also has a frequent diner rewards program, and you should definitely sign up. I can't tell you how many free appetizers I've had thanks to the program. My favorite dishes are the My Way lasagna and a turkey sandwich. I can't remember what they call it (southwest turkey sandwich?), but it's on a flatbread that's grilled, and it has a chipotle type sauce on it, the same one they serve for dipping with the calamari - also good. I've more recently discovered another dish I like a lot - chicken cannelloni. Again, a large portion, but quite good. It has a white sauce, so it's kind of on the 'Alfredo' side of things (though it doesn't strike me as an actual Alfredo sauce). I'm sure everything they serve (except maybe the salads?) is terrible for your health. It's usually covered in cheese and just... well... the typical Americanized version of "Italian food." But it's obviously selling just fine, and I can disregard my preference for healthier eating now and then by going there. The "sports bar" side of the place is actually cool too. I've watched a few football games there, and it's nice. Made some friends. They have about 25 screens crammed into the south end of the establishment. The only trouble you may have is getting the audio for the game you're watching. If that isn't a big deal to you, it's a good place to watch a game while you stuff your face. :) read more

Salad was good. Has high hopes, but was very disappointed. Got the full size meat lasagna with large drink. $19.46, ok with price if food had more substance to it. Large hot bowl of cols spaghetti sauce. Big chunks of cheese and a few lasagna pasta does not make lasagna. Please make smaller portions and put more effort into it. read more

So so good. I know it's not a pretty picture but trust me this is the best baked ziti I've ever had. Very very cheesy, how I like it. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the bread sticks, just lacked a little flavor. Still giving 5 stars for fast service, good food, and polite workers :) read more

Saggios - Baked Ziti - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I tried to order the thai chicken pizza and was told they havent sold that in the last 3 years, so the menu in the restaurant bulletin is definitely outdated. I ended up ordering the buffalo chicken pizza with regular crust. The breading and sauce was pretty good. Too much cheese on the pizza. Felt like I was eating a block of cheese at times. The crust was okay - gets tiring to eat after 2 slices. Overall, the pizza was alright. Will likely come again to try their other pizzas or calzones. read more

We were in town for a BMX event and looked for an Italian restaurant. We found this on Yelp. Everyone loved the food they ordered for take out. I had the ravioli and wish I could order more.(Delivery does not go 6 hrs away, curses!) Would definitely go back again. read more

We've been coming to Saggios forever now. It's our favorite restaurant ever. They have the best Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and Calozones in Albuquerque. We drive all the way from the Northside of Rio Rancho just to eat here. The manager Luis is AWESOME!! He is friendly and hilarious and definitely takes care of his customers. He always has an upbeat and happy mood and always welcomes us back with open arms. We'll never stop coming here read more

Saggios pizza is one of the best. Place could definitely use some remodeling. Service ok. Overall, I would recommend.

My original order was not totally accurate but Luis (assistant manager) addressed the situation and handled it perfectly!

Food is tasty, I tend to come here often because their shrimp Arrabiato is good, and Crystal is great!

I ordered through Doordash (never again!) and received half of my order. I contacted Saggio's who told me to contact Doordash for my money back. Which didn't happen. Saggios then told me they would replace the missing pizza if I could claim it in two weeks. unfortunately I had an emergency which called me out of town. I recommend the pizza, just dont count on an order being fixed, or feel like you are a valued customer. you are not. read more

Great pizza and very large slices. Loved the pepperoni. The salad was another story. It was not edible since it was right out of the deep freezer. The entire salad was frozen. Stick to the pizza here, it's delicious. read more

Sad to say this place has really gone downhill. I've been coming here since this place was Nunzio's, but past years (maybe covid related) everything has just gone south! I was there last week right when it opened and the woman taking my order was rude. I did nothing to warrant her attitude, but she didn't care. She messed up my order and charged me for something I didn't order. She then made it sound like it was my fault. Always check your receipts! When I got home I saw an error in my order. Again, always check your order before you leave. I should have known better because it's happened before. Just bummed that place has changed. I've been coming here for many years, but after my last visit I'm just turned off from this place. Sad because this was a great university hangout to get good food for a good price. read more

I've been eating at Saggios since it was Nunzios in the early 90s. Tonight was the worst experience at any restaurant. The cahier was very rude and dismissive. We waited almost an hour for my father's pasta and just kept getting dismissed. The manager was by far, the rudest person I've ever had to deal with. We will never patronage your business again. read more

Saggios near the university is the best and GM Crystal is the amazing! This location has the best food and the atmosphere is one of a kind.

Wow, best pizza in ABQ! You can't go wrong with the classics like pepperoni and green chilie. Although I am a fan of thin crust pizzas, Saggios proved me wrong. Their dough is so soft and thick, just elevated the pizza to another level! Ive seriously had nothing like it. Must try! read more

In the era of Covid 19...there are still spots to find and explore. Glad we passed this one! Best dang lasagna that wasn't homemade I've ever had. Highly recommend! read more

The food was absolutely amazing. Had an great experience with my family. The service was absolutely amazing. Luis was very nice and helped us choose the best option read more

Nobody likes to be proven wrong and I can honestly say that the crow I'm eating right now has left me more satisfied than the food I ordered from Saggios. It's going downhill fast and I'm not sticking around to see it crash and burn. I don't recommend ordering from Saggios unless you want to wait a half an hour on top of the 40 minute wait time they claim to have. They make half your order and have it ready as soon as you get there only to leave it sitting while they just start making your other half when you arrive. Half your order has gone cold and the other half took an hour to make. The portion sizes get smaller each time. The food is not worth the price and it's definitely not worth wait time. And to top it off, the machine is always conveniently "undergoing maintenance" anytime I try to redeem my rewards from the Fivestars app. read more

I'm very dissapointed in what happen today. I been to saggios across UNM twice already ordering a full pie and having to wait over an hour to get it and having the first time be burnt and the second time being slightly raw, but the food was okay. However today I was recommend to try the calzone from my coworkers saying it was better then the pizza so I placed am order at 11:30 and was told it would be ready in 15mins. I get there at 11:43 and come up to the counter to ask about my pick up order and they said it would be ready in 2 mins, so I sit down and wait for my name to be called no call for my name after 2 family come in and order their food. I come up to the counter again at 12:00 to ask if my calzone was ready and the employees were messing around with the owner in the front playing telephone laughing and having a good time they finally notice that I was standing there and said they were still working on it. The resturant wasn't busy when I went in they had about 5 tables sat and they all had their food already out. It wasn't till 12:10 that they called my name and I had to go pick it up and when I went to go pick it up the other 2 family food that order food came out at the same time which was a pizza and a calzone also.I was excited to try the calzone from the other family calzone that I saw,but when I went to grab my box the emlpoyee glared at me as I picked it up I said thank you but they just stared at me no thank you for coming in or sorry about the wait. I got back to my place excited to try the calzone to find out that when I open that box it was burnt and completely dry. I was very angry about this and will not be return to any saggios from the service I got and the qauilty of food that they are serving. read more

Fantastic atmosphere; almost like the rainforest cafe. Identified as a sports bar, mixed with a splash of New York Italian. Neutral: No waiters / self seating Pros: Amazing decor and art murals Indoor water fountain Heating / air conditioning- set at comfortable temperature Cons: no outdoor seating / friendly dog area Gets very busy at night, weekends, and during events Takes a while for food to cook read more

A nice little Italian restaurant serving salads, pastas, pizza, drinks, and cheesy deserts. Loved the nirvana asian salad and chicken cannelloni which was submerged in a creamy ricotta. Food tasted relatively fresh and serving sizes were pretty big. I'm thankful for the variety! Great AC and hodgepodge decor which makes the atmosphere lively and fun. The sports bar room is to the left while the sit down eating is to the right. Cheesecakes and cannoli for under 1 dollar by the door. read more

I have been a fan of Saggios for more than 20 years. Picked up a pie 6 months ago and italian sausage was so thin it was hard to taste. Italian sausage use to be thick and tasty Decided to give the Cornell location another try tonight. Ordered small pizza, original crust with italian sausage and extra sauce. I received a small pizza with extra cheese and hardly any sauce with thin cut itallion sausage and completely burnt crust! I trully miss the OLD Saggios!!! read more

Absolutely horrible service and food was horrid. Wouldn't recommend what so ever. If i'm being honest it was the worst food i've ever had.

Good prices and huge portions! We had a Giant Slice of Cheese, the Milano pizza, Breadsticks, and the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Calzone.

Went for dinner, we were very hungry as my husband and I only had breakfast. Wanted to go to another pasta place but decided against them. We live in the NE side of town and forget Saggios. Went in and ordered over $80.00 worth of food for two adults and two kids, ages 12 and 5. We recalled other pasta chain portions being ok and got full orders, it was definitely so much food for the prices!! We were all so satisfied and full from breadsticks, salad and bruschetta. By the time the main dishes were ready we just boxed them up and took them home. We will go back!!! So delicious. We had a sweet and spicy calzone, meat lasagna, make your own lasagna (I chose pepperoni and chicken), a lunch portion of spaghetti and meatballs, bruschetta, two salads, order of breadsticks (better than chain restaurants), tiramisu, two kinds of cannoli and blueberry cheesecake! read more

Love, love Saggio's. Have several good memories meeting up with friends for lunch at the Cornell location- very customizable pizza slices and always a coupon to use of some sort. I remember coming here with a friend of mine one time. She wanted to split a side salad, a slice of pizza, and a calzone. I was able to finish my half of the salad and part of the calzone before feeling stuffed already. She asked me if I was still hungry, finished off my portion, and still ordered a cannoli for dessert! Just goes to show the portion sizes of this place and the quality of food here. The SUB location was also a convenient way to pick up the Tuscan pasta salad (one of my favorites) read more

Pizza good Order Wrong Ordered a full pepperoni & sausage, add half onion & bell peppers. They charged me for all the toppings... But only gave me a half veggie pizza/half pepperoni & sausage. Like I said, good pizza, wrong order. Just that lil extra attention to detail to get the order right would have made the difference! Oh yeah, napkins are cool to have with the meal. Send those with the delivery next time! Fair? read more

If you like being treated like shit and seem like liar, then this down the hill dive is for you. John Mark, said he is the general Manager. Louis was off today. I told John, Louis offered to remake my pizza. John Mark said "Oh Really'! He asked "why is that"? I was telling John about my frozen pasta salad then about the rancid broccoli that was served from their back "fresh" bar. He flagged his hand down to hush me. I apologized am I being loud. He said "No, people are eating"! The Giant Pizza I ordered was NOT done correctly. John Mark was Telling me about their restaurant guidelines and those are NOT their rules nor policy. Sorry Sir, that Has NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. That your order had to be remade within 2 weeks of purchase, it's been 3 weeks to date. . Sorry, I had emergency HEART surgery and couldn't be here. Louis your manager did NOT specify those specifications to me. Louis was very professional and kindly offered to remake my pizza due, to all the mishaps. My receipt was over $100.00. To add, I told John feel free to call Louis, his reply was "Oh I am". John comes back to me and says, give me your name and number as Louis did not answer his phone. John said, "Louis did not write this information down or told him anything of such"! That he will contact me when he hears from Louis. ARE YOU FUKIN SERIOUS?!?! I live deep on the west side 40 minutes drive and I have to wait to hear from you. NOPE, I'm not leaving. I was being as kind as I could with just having heart surgery, and keeping my blood pressure down. This John Mark guy may run that slum pizzeria BUT NOT ME! I seriously feel sorry for those employees and Louis. read more

Best food around town, and the best service ever. I drive all the way from Rio Rancho to have a great meal. I've been coming here for at least 13 years. Luis (the manager) goes over and beyond his calling on customer service. Makes it welcoming and enjoyable to come to. I always look forward to see him when I come in read more

I really enjoy going to Saggios! It's so much fun if you are going to eat with the family or just if you are going to have a beer with some friends. The serving sizes are huge. We all really joy just looking at all the art and murals they have and play the "I spy" game since there's so much to look at. High recommend this place as their pizza is the bomb! read more

Saggio's is a one of a kind local hot spot! They have huge slices of pizza so cheesy and the crust is just perfect! Spaghetti is always my favorite here. The ranch is home made so when eating a salad or dunking your pizza in it you'll be pleasantly surprised on how yummy it is. The desserts are awesome as well. My son loves the " Holy cannoli" as we call them! read more

First off, I remember when Saggios, was Nunzio's! Old man Nunzio was the Absolutely Best! There were two, Italian Restaurants, I won't name the other, but it was Great as Well. Anyway, I went off to study abroad, and have not lived in Albuquerque for a while. Now, that I am back, I noticed Saggio's had taken place of Nunzio's. Come to find out, the Nunzio family is still somehow (?) I am not sure. Well, I go in and I ordered Two slices of Pizza. I waited and I waited, no buzz! So, I asked and sure enough, my Pizza was on the shelf, BURNT, I might add! Okay, maybe it was a fluke. I go back, and Order a whole Pizza! I waited AND I waited, no Buzz. So, again, I ask about my Pizza. The guy goes and looks at the Pizza's on the Shelf, there it is! I'm sorry, but I will NEVER go back! read more

For a sports bar, the bar itself is rather disappointing. It seats about four people, and has no permanent bartender; in fact, it juts out of the wall at an acute angle, making it uncomfortable to look at, let alone work behind. If you come here to drink, you'll be better off getting a table. They have online ordering, but you can also still call it in. I had a Milano pizza last night, and it was nothing special. The sausage was extremely disappointing, though the prosciutto and salami were decent. I got the chile crust, which was perhaps my favorite part of the meal. Beer and pizza specials are fair, perhaps the best way to stretch your dollar at this restaurant. I also recommend the cannoli to satisfy a sweet tooth. At the end of the day, nothing special, but they mostly know what they're doing. read more

I ordered a calzone for lunch on a Saturday. Took 40 minutes, and it was just so-so. Disappointing!

I love Saggios. Have been a loyal customer for decades. Food is always delicious. But this evening only half of my to go order was in the bag. I was not willing to drive across town to rectify the situation. But sad that I only have half of my order! read more
