I ordered through the website and there was some confusion when an Uber driver came up to get my order. I was told I wasn't going to receive my order so I asked for a refund. Twenty minutes later my order showed up and I called back asking what happened and apparently the driver came back and I got my food on the house from Louis due to their mistake. Great service! read more

I have been coming here since I was a teenager. Even then, the food and environment were beyond anything I had ever seen. I can't go in and eat right now due to my own vulnerabilities, but my husband did a pickup order for us today. I'm going to take my time and go through it slowly because.. well, when you know, you know.. you know? The potato gnocchi covered with basil cream sauce with tomatoes was the first dish. Let me start by saying that gnocchi is easy to mess up. Never, ever buy store-bought gnocchi! This, my friends, was not store-bought. This tasted like handmade gnocchi. It was soft, slightly sweet, fluffy and sticky (in the best way). The sauce was absolutely aromatic and flavorful. It included a signature roll with it. The portion was much larger than I realized, but that just means I can have delightful leftovers! I also grabbed a slice of straight cheese pizza because that has never steered me wrong. As usual, it was perfect (also leftovers.. this was a lot of food). My husband had a calzone with olives, mushrooms, pineapple and green chile. To hear him describe the experience, he said, "The ingredients were perfectly proportioned. It's not a sloppy mess. There's an even-ratio of toppings. The crust was soft and buttery, not hard. The sauce that accompanied it added to it instead of overpowering it. I loved it! Overall, this was fantastic!" He also grabbed an order of the fried ravioli with marinara sauce. It was absolutely lovely! My only qualm was that the edges were a little tough, but they were still lovely! Now, we come to dessert. First, the tiramisu. This tiramisu was done perfectly. Handmade whipped cream, espresso powder, ladyfingers perfectly dipped in espresso all coming together for one delectable, sublimely beautiful flavor and richness that only tiramisu can offer. Secondly, the cannoli. Cannoli is another thing that is surprisingly easy to mess up. I've had (from another restaurant) a cannoli that had almost no filling inside (I know, right?!) and that was beyond depressing. THIS cannoli, however, was freshly made, overstuffed with filling and absolutely divine. The filling Saggio's uses for their cannoli tastes simple, yet stunning. To my palate, it only has one or two ingredients before the chocolate pieces are added. You can't get much better than that. All in all, the flavor was on point. The portions are allowing us leftovers. The food wasn't too sweet, wasn't too salty, wasn't under or overcooked. Saggio's, it seems, has gotten better with age. Thank you so much for this treat. We love you. read more

Food was okay. Service was lousy!!! An online order places before 3pm, with the notice would be ready at 330 pm, not ready until after 4pm. RUDE SERVERS!! Did not offer any compensation for the 30 minute delay, and kept on removing her mask while on the front line. The RUDE lady in the leopard print mask. The service has really gone to Hell. read more

Haven't been there in years and i always thought it was divey but it is not! It is very popular and busy! They have great lunch specials and beautiful desserts. Really nice pasta dishes, pizzas, salads and sandwiches. I got the Roman sandwich with side of caesar salad and it was delicious! My friend got the chicken alfredo pizza and it was out of this world! Cheesy, garlicky, pesto amazing and very nice crisp crust! I will definitely be back more often!! read more

What a cool, hip little place! My boyfriend took me to this place or I probably would have never discovered it. And I instantaneously fell in love with it. It reminded me of a place I would find in the So-Co strip of Austin, Texas (the South Congress strip). I just love the atmosphere of the place and the cool mural that each time I come, I find something on the mural that I didn't see before! It also has a cool sports bar. I haven't tried the desserts yet and I haven't come back for dinner yet, but when I do, I promise to update the review. I have only come for the lunch rush and it is really awesome. I have tried their sandwiches, salads, and pizza! And they do not disappoint! The prices are what you would expect for anything in Nob Hill. There is some parking in their lot but not enough to accommodate everyone in their restaurant, so street parking may be necessary. The food is hot, delicious and the portion sizes are good. My favorites are their meatball subs and their pizza. Their seating isn't the most comfortable in the world (wood benches) so don't expect comfort when you go there but come for the delicious food and atmosphere and you will leave with a full belly and good expectations! read more

I have been coming to this iconic restaurant for many many years, usually the people that take orders are not the nicest (must be a hard job?) but this time it was worse, worse than it has ever been in the last 20 years, Brendan was really rude and unwelcoming, it really made me want to just walk away, maybe I should've, but I realized I won't have to deal with him after I place my order, some people are just not meant to work with people, he is one of them, I hope he finds something he is happy with, this is not it. read more

First I will mention the only positive about my experience here. I ordered the Green Chili Chicken Alfredo and it was amazing. Now for the not so good, after I ordered, I waited for approximately 30 minutes before receiving my food. Various people who ordered after me recieved their orders before me. This is a very long time for just 2 pasta dishes and what was supposed to be a thin crust pizza. The spaghetti itself was overcooked and sticky. Meatballs did not taste homemade. They were good but frozen. Once I was called to get my food, I was given a sicilian pizza which is the complete opposite of a thin crust pizza. When I adviced management, they only reconfirmed with me that the order was taken incorrectly and they made this pizza for me. They did not offer any type of solution or apology. I simply requested my money back for the pizza since it was not what i wanted. read more

This place has gone down the rabbit hole, for the past ten years. Until finally Saggios had hit rock bottom. This is the pizza that I was given on my last and final try. Saggios has let Burque and myself down for the last time. Goodbye worst service and food, don't waste your money read more

This place is great, if you like mediocrity. If you want something bland and flavorless and a lot of it come to this place. Their plates are stupid huge, it became unappetizing. Their regular sized "go green" salad was enough for 4 people and their pizza slice was huge, tasteless, and cold. The salad also had a-lot of lettuce and only toppings at the surface. The veggies were fresh I'll give them that. The only thing worthy of my $40 was the free refills and they had a huge TV that I could watch the football game. Never coming back to this terrible place again. I asked for my money back, the manager wasn't even around. They had to call him and he told his employee to "make it work". I settled on three desserts my partner will eat and didn't get my money. I wasn't going to take all that food home to throw it away. Big disappointment! read more

I wasn't even hungry when I walked in but once I smelled the yumminess walking into this restaurant. My hunger spidey senses kicked into overdrive. I was super hungry. I loved loved the food choices. Salads. We got the greek VERY good. Lots Feta cheese, olives, tomatoes, sweet peppers and fresh lettuce. A really fresh great salad. Pizza We got the 10-inch pizza with pepperoni and green chile. A light fluffy not too dense crust, with the perfect amount of crunch to the crust. It was tough not to overindulge in pizza because I knew I was going to have to have something out of that crazy awesome dessert case when you first walk in. Dessert We had to indulge in a dessert. Thank you to my husband fpr allowing me to pick what I wanted to share. An amaretto cheesecake with a brownie baked into the top. Was truly a slice of heaven on a fork. It was so amazing. The decor is super fun and an experience all in itself. It has fun murals and odd statues and fountains that add to this eclectic atmosphere of yum and fun. Parking can be a challenge but totally worth the effort. It will be one of those got to place for me every time I am in ABQ. read more

This place is still my go to, after many decades of coming here. The food is solid, service is great, and the authentic Italian menu is one of the best in town. read more

I'd been there several times before, but I will never forget the day I ordered my first calzone from Saggios. When I went to the counter to pick up the plate I immediately went into minor shock: I was absolutely not worthy. And sure enough as I stuck my knife into the belly of that beast and the steam wafted past my nostrils, as I gazed into the carcass that was stretchy cheese, tomato sauce and probably six different meats, I thought Now How in the Hell am I Going to Eat All of This? It was an entire pizza, folded over and baked, for just One Guy. I felt like more than a glutton. I felt like a thief. Here I'd ordered just one meal and they'd given me four. I dug in and, sure enough, managed to down one quarter of the bastard. This is a memory from, oh, probably 1997. The footage still rolls in my cortex. Shortly thereafter the restaurant received a major remodel, which is still worth a visit today: a fountain, portraits of famous Italians, every inch of the place has character. But the food never changed. While I recently noted that they serve a smaller version of the classic calzone, the original beast is still on the menu. Nowdays I stick with the salads, which are tremendous in their own right but still, um, humane. I think the pizza's quite good, nothing to write home about but in the upper echelon of ABQ choices. Pastas, panini and focaccia rarely catch my interest because the specials above the register are always innovative, definitely consider them. And then there's the cannoli. It'll shut ya up. Big lovers of futbol, the Lobos, and UNMs ever-changing student populace, Saggios is one of those classic University restaurants that everybody recognizes as an old friend, a place to grab a booth, open a book, feed the family or flirt on a first date. Well, maybe a second date. So go ahead, even if you aren't a cash strapped student, save yourself some coin and just split a calzone. You'll find the other half in the fridge tomorrow. read more

Food mediocre, servers great. heard managing staff was discriminating based off race when hiring workers so will not be eating here again

Maybe the best non-green chile related food that I have found in ABQ and it was found in a very unique place. Knew things would be good when I saw the statue of Babe Ruth waiting by the interior entrance. The outside sign special was chicken parmesan over spaghetti with a side cesar salad. This was a huge portion and woth the $9.99 for sure. The cutlet was breaded to perfection and served over a huge bed of pasta and sauce. Plenty of good marinara and a large cesar with shaved parmesan and croutons made for a great meal. Cool ordering system with the buzzer for takeout and it took about 15 minutes on a pretty busy lunchtime at about 1pm. Would have liked to try more, but you know, don't want to push my luck in the Duke City. read more

The kid behind the counter was rude, as if we were bothering him to place an order. I asked for a chicken Caesar salad with the dressing on the side, and my salad came in a to go box with no chicken! I went back to the same kid, and he very reluctantly added chicken. 4 little pieces! woah! Don't over do it!! We haven't been here in over a year, and we won't be coming back. We we'e very disappointed!! read more

Always the best place for Pizza and Pasta!!! My favorite is the Shrimp Diablo, tried the Seafood Creole with fettuccine noodles... OMGEEE... the best! All sauces are the best... especially when paired with a Santa Fe Brewery Social Hour! Enjoy! read more

Always delicious and good value. I have been coming here since the 80's and it still is fantastic!

The first time I went to this restaurant, I was a little fascinated with the interior design and the big list of menus on the counter. I ordered meat lasagna ( comes with caesar salad) and a slice of pepperoni pizza with green and red chili on top. To be honest, I actually liked it. Their servings are quite huge so I wasn't able to finish my meal and just took it home. I actually observed that their menu ingredients has variations that fits everybody's palate. May it be meat lovers, seafood lovers, or vegetarian, will pretty sure enjoy what they will get. They have seats/division for dinner date and for fun in sports bar. Its located near UNM campus so most of the customers were students. Kind of difficult to get a parking space for your car. The only thing that struck me though or I did not like, was the idea that military guys or men in service should wear a uniform in order for them to get a free soda. Other than that, I will emphasize that the food was great. read more

Saggios - Mussels - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Ordered dinner online for my daughter's birthday dinner. The food was supposed to be ready at 7:26. My husband went to pick the food up and the staff at Saggios said that they had not received our order. I talked to a woman on the phone and she implied that I had not placed the order. I sent a copy of the order confirmation. Then they found it. It took an hour for them to get the order ready, when my husband got it home there were only six meals and I ordered and paid for seven. in addition instead of three lasagnas and one manicotti we got two and two. we were missing a spaghetti and three salads. We talked to them about the missing food and the manager took our phone number and has not called as back. There was no adjustment to our payment at all. we will NEVER go back again. Note we have been going to Saggios for 30+ years. The food that we did get was not very good. Very disappointing. read more

Saggio's is a typical University area bar/restaurant. There are multiple rooms, kinda cobbled together. It is a weird mix of pizza and sports bar, but somehow it works. The beer selection is respectable, with multiple local brews. And their pizzas are pretty dang large, and tasty. Best pizza in town? No, probably not. But they are really very good. On the sports bar front, there are something like a billion TVs in here. Most are good sized too, though not huge. They seem to show all the Lobos games, as expected. I'd hate to see this place really packed with college students - I'm not sure how you would move! But on a not-so-busy night, or for lunch, you could do a lot worse! read more

I've been going to saggios since nunzios this past year they have the meanest rudest cashiers . Yesterday I was there was treated like shit. When I went for a soda refill the employee ask the white blonde guy in front of me come to her for a refill then she looked at me with my cup gave me look of disgust I guess my skin color is to dark horrible what saggios has become from nunzios to to rude rasist saggios employees read more

This is always a solid place to go. Excellent pizzas, salads and cannolis at a reasonable price. It's big enough so there usually is not an issue to get a place to sit. Lots of tvs in the back if you want to watch a sporting event. The downside is you have to order at the counter and it can be difficult getting in and out of your seat if you are at one of the back tables when it's crowded. A place our children always want to visit when they are back in town. read more

Pizza was really delicious...the herb crust was amazing!! Chicken green Chile pasta was really delicious too! The line was really long when I first walked in but it moved fast. I did have to wait a while for my food but it was very fresh when it arrived!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Second time with phone order for takeout with Saggio's at UNM. Both times waited over an hour and still no pizza. Manager seemed clueless and has no customer service skills. Been going to Saggio's since the early 90's and have to admit, they are getting worse. The place wasn't packed but they had a whole lot of customers waiting on takeout. Hate to say it, but if this is the best they can do, Saggio's need to pack it in and and sell it to someone who knows how to run a pizza joint or just close. read more

Best service you can ever imagine was glad to be taken care of by what seems spectacular service from the manager would go back a 1,000,000 times made our families day :) 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

The manager Crystal made an awesome effort with my food, I seen she was multi tasking like a Queen, and a wonderful person all around. She went the step above with my order, and seen her good customer service with other customer as well. She has the love for the job & I believe she deserves a raise read more

Usually a pretty safe bet for decent american-italian, but last weekend half the pizza was missing, not like it was removed just that the pizza wasn't round it was kinda shaped like an egg. That's not the first disappointment I've had here lately. Hey Saggios, you know what makes or breaks a business, quality control, ya might want to plug into what's comin out... read more

One of my favorite pizza places in town! I am a huge fan of Americanized street food pizza and saggio's is exactly that! I enjoy my pizza crust crunchy so I always request for it to be well done. It consistently comes out crispy and mouthwatering. I always stick to my pepperoni green chile pizza and they are never stingy with the toppings! They also have a pretty decent beer selections including popular local beers such as la cumbre elevated and a slice of hefen (my favorite) and also Marble red ale and double white. The atmosphere is very family oriented and you can always catch an NFL or college game on the tv's. If you aren't into crowds make sure not to go on a Friday night, it can be very hard to find a seat because of how popular this restaurant is. read more

THREE AND HALF STARS. I've only been able to go here once. I was in town visiting family, was hungry and there was a Bears game on. I like there is a place I can go to watch the game when in town. I only tried the pizza- pretty good. Prices are not ridiculous. Good atmosphere. Probably a dozen-and-a-half TVs showing all the Sunday games. I don't know what other sports they show (I didn't investigate.) If I make it back here, I can update this review. I'd go back more for being able to watch a game than specifically for the food. read more

Saggios - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I have been coming here all my life and in fact work with Saggios for many company catering events. Well not only is their food AMAZING but this story puts them in an entirely new light. In light of the COVID-19 situation, I think it is incredible to highlight some of our local business that are currently struggling yet still make it a point to help out their fellow community members. I work for HP and we have a philanthropy group onsite and do different events in the community. We have seen a lot of companies coming together to feed our first responders which is amazing. We took a different approach and chose Joy Junction, tomorrow we will be delivering lunch to Joy Junction to help out the homeless families that reside there. I would love to highlight Saggios restaurant as they are currently struggling to stay afloat themselves now but that didn't stop them from making our $1000 food purchase go the furthest it could. We let Gian Casale owner Anthony Casale's son know of the situation and he didn't hesitate to want to help the cause. It is times like this where members of the community really go all in to support one another. I would love for them to be advertised as a local business doing great things to help another. read more

I love the original location, apart from the unfortunate parking conditions of their particular area of Albuquerque (someone's car gets hit in the metered spaces out front literally every time I visit). I love getting the Napoli sandwich, and I am so happy the Coronado Mall location is now offering a more complete menu; however, the new location's quality is just not the same. I got a Napoli that was cold, cheese not fully melted, bread un-toasted, with uncut meatballs that broke through the bread immediately. The pasta salad was delish as always, but the presentation was wrecked by a mountain of cheese dumped on top instead of the usual "stirred in and lightly sprinkled." Overall, needs some work, but I love Saggios and will continue to support when I can! I might just skip the mall location for a while . . . read more

I went here on my lunch break and it took forever to get a slice of pizza, I ordered the combo with pizza and pasta salad, it took at least 20 minutes to get my slice out.

My meal @ Saggio's was not the best today. I have been there many times. Pizza crust overcooked. Their sauce normally stands out but there was not enough of it. Green chili was good however. There was mold on one of the red peppers in the salad. My sister in law took the salad to the manager. Told her it couldn't be mold because the peppers were fresh daily. He should have just apologized. If it wasn't mold it wasn't clean. I will go back again. Our group did share 2 canollies. They were to die for! read more
