Sawtelle's has been a Kingston mainstay since at least 1981, the first time I remember going with my parents to pick up takeout. It's still a classic. Last night I picked up a cheeseburger sub with pickles to kick off trivia night at the local brewery. It was a takeout order, so I brought it over to the brewery and unpacked it at the bar. I got so many inquiries about where I got such a delicious looking sub. So good! read more

Friendly staff. Cheese pizza was good. The Buffalo wings were not that great... very fatty

Was running some errands around the area and decided to try this place out on a whim as I drove by, I got a steak and cheese to go and it was really good, the steak actually had seasoning on it a problem I find at so many sub shops Is they don't do anything to a steak and cheese but this place did it right. I will try the pizza next time read more

The best pizza around. New owners are great. Couldn't recommend more. Always the same so you know exactly what you're getting read more

Sawtelle's Pizza - small cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Kingston, Massachusetts

very kind and friendly staff! Big menu, clean space, nice stop on the way to Plymouth

Food and service were great! We got our food to go, we called our order in and it was ready when we got there!

My daughter tried it again, and the new owners are very rude. Pizza is not the best quality and it's way overpriced. Go to Kingston House. Much better quality and price. read more

If there was a higher star I would rate higher. today I got Sawtelles and I ordered a delicious cheese pizza and it was great and just the right size ,the service on the phone and at pickup was great and friendly I highly recommend going here if you want a authentic pizza and great salads! read more

Great place!! The service here is excellent, everyone who works there is so nice, the food here is amazing and never disappoints! Definitely recommend. read more

Several years ago we tried Sawtelle's and said "meh" but decided to give it another go about a year ago and are so happy we did! The pizza is great - consistent and yummy and their Greek salad (I haven't tried the others) is awwwwwesome with and without grilled chicken. They are super nice, extremely accommodating and reasonably priced. If you had a "meh" experience years ago, give them another try. We go there about once a week now and haven't had a "meh" experience yet! read more

I stopped going to Sawtelle's a while ago, when I found out they had new owners I thought I'd give them another try. I haven't tried any of the sandwiches but I will say their pizza is the fantastic, the best around. read more

I had the best Italian sub, I've ever had in life here. No substitutions had it make how they make it. All ingredients super fresh down to the sub roll. I'm extremely picky person who wanted pizza and it sucks that they don't do slices. Normally order small subs and never finish them. This sub was off the charts bomb...hit all my taste bud. Definitely going back...exceeded well over my expectations. read more

Sawtelle's Pizza - Italian sub - Pizza Near Me - Kingston, Massachusetts

The service was amazing, all of the employees were so kind and helpful. I truly felt welcomed into the sawtelles family. My steak and cheese sub was hand delivered with a smile from one of the owners himself Hany. The sub was almost as good as the smile he gave me. The food was delicious and hand crafted with love and care. Anyone looking for a great pizza and sub shop should join the sawtelles family. Highly recommend read more

I popped in with my husband (a former local) on a simple Sunday afternoon for late lunch. Hubby grew up enjoying this specific establishment & the consistent flavor profile for over 30 years. He has raved about the menu since we met over a decade ago. Let me just say, he was spot on! If you enjoy delicious, memorable, FLAVORFUL food that evokes fond memories you thought long forgotten then pop into this shop. The only drawback to our experience was that the shop does not have a restroom for customers, but that was a minor inconvenience for a mouth watering lunch. Like the recipes used here its a policy unchanged over the years. If you want fine dining, modernized customer centric bend over backwards services, or are a finicky eater, go elsewhere. New England has PLENTY of Italian shops for food but the flavor here us one of a kind, IMO. This shop is about the food and flavor so set your expectations accordingly and enjoy. read more

I've been getting pizza here basically my whole life. The pizzas are great! Wait times are long, and the phone can ring forever. But, the pizza makes up for most of the negatives. read more

Excellent as always been going there since we moved to Kingston in 1987...when delivered always hot, cooked perfectly, that's just the pizza, the subs are excellent too, made the way you ask. The salads are fresh never once a brown piece of lettuce. We've had everything...for the more than 15 pizza shops in Kingston, Sawtells's is the only one on speed dial and they really care about who they hire always nice! read more

Horrible. Worst Italian sub I have ever had. Literally one cold cut (I wish I was exaggerating) no tomato, lettuce or other cold cuts or cheese. I called *management* to complain and was told that if you want and Italian with all that, you have to request it. So let me get this straight, you offer an Italian sub on your menu but you need me to instruct you on how to build while you have the audacity to charge me $14. Um, ok. read more

Kingston house takes the cake but runner up is sawtelles. I ordered a roast beef sub and asked for toasted but that it was not. I asked for Mayo and just a tiny bit. If your in a pinch go here but other wise look for different options. My friend said the pizza was good so I will have to try. The people nice though. read more

Sawtelle's isn't worth the hassle, bottom line. My biggest issue with Sawtelle's is that their wait times are always longer than what they tell you. Deliveries take forever and their pick up times are always later than what they tell you over the phone. If they say it will be 20 minutes, give it 30 minutes (sometimes 30+). They don't let you add a tip to your card, which is just bizarre. So whenever we chose delivery we have to scrounge up cash, coins, winning scratch tickets, etc just so we can give the delivery man a tip. The food is good. Not great, but not horrible. It really just adds another option to the local delivery competition. The pizza is not bad. The final straw with this place was placing an order then being called 20 minutes later and told that the delivery driver had locked his keys in his car and that they can't complete anymore deliveries but ummm "would you like to pick up your order??". NO, I'll go to KHOP. This place has ok food but their staff is run almost entirely by incompetent high school kids. They have 2 squinty eyed older guys that I'm guessing are the owners. I'm not sure how they continue to operate as understaffed as they do, but they do. So I'll choose to stay away from the place. read more

I do not understand why Sawtelles cannot get orders right or on time? My husband called long before he picking up the order. Food was not correct, missing food from the order, told it would be another 15 minutes, then another 15 minutes. Cancelled the order, left a fat tip anyways because it's kids working there, only to be told " "have a good night" as he was walking out the door. As a smart ass. This has been the way for a couple of years now read more

Overpriced 14 inch pizza is NOT a large pizza for $20.00 Overcooked and dry, crunchy crust unappealing. Won't be going back here others in pickup line agreed it was overpriced read more

Sawtells is one of our regular places. Food is always fast and good. Really can't understand the bad reviews. Staff is always friendly. Our "go to" pizza place. read more

I really want to like this place I do. It's convenient to my work the people are nice the food could be good if they ever got my order right. I've had three salads in a row now all three were missing various things. This time there was no dressing. Everyone loves a dry salad I know. I even peeked in the bag I saw there was pita bread, which turns out to be very stale today, a knife and a fork and I thought I saw the rim of the dressing. I should have looked harder before driving back to work because it turned out to be a cucumber edge. So me and my dry salad are having a very sad lunch. Last time I asked them at the register if there was utensils and dressing in the bag and they said yes. Silly me didn't think to double check them and I drove back to work only to open the bag and find out there was no utensils no dressing and no pita bread. Cool. Various other times I've had a garden salad that only had lettuce. When they get the order right though the food is good. Very frustrating though read more

Constantly get order wrong. Tonight I ordered ham & cheese with mayo mustard and lettuce. Get home with ham and mayo. Called them at 8:30 and they answered saying they are closed. Called back and they said they couldn't remake it. Thanks Sawtelles. read more

Hit or miss. Pizza is usually good and consistent, then some days it's a 3 times the cheese. Wait time can be random, answering phone is not a priority. Staff is usually pleasant, though chaotic. Lack of consistency and staffing issues keep this place from its potential. Long time customer. Doesn't look to be getting better anytime soon. read more

The third generation of family is letting the legacy down. I stop in most Fridays on the way home from work. The food is good but slipping a little. The service is deplorable. As I sat there tonight waiting for an order , I witnessed the downfall of the legacy and total chaos. I realize a pizza shop can be chaotic , but it has to be Orchestrated choas not total confusion. Something has to change is this shop or I see a short future for what was a great shop 10 years ago. read more

I only come by infrequently -- living a hundred miles away from the South Shore now, I'm only in the area once in a while to camp in Plymouth or visit family. But I've liked this place since the 70s, and come in for a pizza to go when I'm through. It's a perfectly good neighborhood pizza joint, nothing fancy, but that'll do to be going on with, as the Brits say. The only fly in *my* ointment? Well, they used to have a sign for their pizzas ... "two way," "three-way," "four-way," and "Chinese Special," 35 years back or so. My gang made the expected risque comments (based around what a "Chinese Special" could possibly be), and I took a picture that made it into the National Lampoon Tru Facts section. Such a posting, alas, is long gone. I never did find out what the Chinese Special was. read more

Mediocre food - at best. Customer service is hit or miss. Some of the staff is friendly, some seem bothered when you put them to work. And the most egregious case of customer apathy is when I called to order a steak and cheese and they told me no, they were only serving pizza because they were closing soon. It was 8:20 and they close at 9:00. Awesome work ethic. Not. read more

I recently had the urge to grab a hot pastrami sub. I called in order and they said something about 11:12,I figured it was gonna be ready around 11:15am. But upon my arrival the sub was $11.12 and it felt like a bag of bread. Sawtelle's used to be the go to shop around the local area. Not so much... very disappointing and last visit for me. read more

While it may have pizza in the name, the pastrami sub is a must have! I went to Sawtelle's the other day and had the best pastrami sub of my life. If you're in the area and looking for great pizza, and even better subs, Sawtelle's is the place for you! Also, I made sure to ask for the name of the person who made my lunch so I could thank him here: so thank you Teddy, you make a mean sandwich. read more

Ya yo ive ordered here like 3 times in the 6 month span i lived in kingston and everytime i kept getting sick. I thought myself nah just a coincidence, BUT THEN. I got the buff fuck chick pizza i had two those badboys and it was goodnight and slept into my bathroom. Yall serving people mystery meat figure it out you sickos! read more

So disappointed in this place. Went in one day after a very long day at work, around 8:15 at night and was told that everything had been shut off so the only option was a cold sub or salad. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you close at 9, shouldn't your menu be available until 9? Or at least 8:45 to be reasonable? When I questioned the girl working at the counter her response was "oh no we walk out the door at nine"... Well after the day I had I thought to myself maybe I should quit my job and work at Sawtelles! Also after years of them delivering to our house I was informed on a different occasion that they will no longer deliver because it's in a different town... 2.5 miles away. Not a smart way to run a business at all. I hope that the owners of this place get a clue from these horrible reviews read more

So I've ate here once or twice and the food is pretty good. I work all across the state as a engineer, so I'm always on the go. I happen to stop in today and kindly asked to use to restroom before I got on the highway for 2hrs. I understand some businesses don't offer public restrooms, and that's fine. But when I asked your cashier I was told and I quote; "We do not have restrooms in this area. Go to hell." I was shocked and had no words. I calmly walked out and won't ever spend my hard working money there again. read more

Once again, they got my order wrong. I actually went in to order it and they STILL got it completely wrong. When I got home and realized that it was wrong, I called to tell them of the error. The woman who answered the phone gave me attitude and hung up on me. We will no longer order from them. read more

Sawtelle's pizza is a great local joint. It is small, has a few tables so you can eat there but it's more of a delivery or carry out place. They have some drinks but there's also a Tedeschi's grocery store next to sawtelle's if you want more beverage options. The Greek salad is one of the best I've ever had and the pizza has a unique taste.. The pizza is "Greek" style, it's not super thick but it's not thin either. A large pizza is plenty for two people if they're both hungry. Good food. I recommend it for a pizza night or for lunch. read more

I ordered three artisan pizzas. They were expensive, small and not very good. I know their regular style pizza is much better and I should have just ordered that. Also, I cannot believe they charge a 7% sales tax. Way too much money. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. read more

I would describe my family and I as regular sawtelles customers. We have been eating their pizza since we moved to the area over 15 years ago (used to order every Friday night). Lately though, we've all noticed a big difference in the service we've been getting. The kids who work here are extremely rude and let the phones ring for 1-2 minutes if they even answer at all! To be quite frank we probably won't be ordering from here again anytime soon as Angelo's Coal Fired Pizza up the street and is also family owned and has excellent service. Sawtelles used to be a family run business- not sure why they ever took the risk on changing that. I think if it continues this way.. they won't be in business much longer. read more

This place used to be good. Horrible service & wait time for food. You need binoculars to read the menu posted behind the counter. Your better off getting an awful pre-made sandwich next door @ Tedeschi's. read more

Staff was great on the phone. I recently had surgery and needed to pay with my credit card over the phone because I couldn't drive anywhere, they even let me tip the delivery driver on the phone. Timing was perfect and love there pizza. Couldn't have asked for better service. read more

Fries are very basic and bland. Surely not the kind I would prefer. Not salty at all. pizza was also basic, very thin and didnt taste like anything extraordinary. the bacon on it was good and plentiful however. buffalo tenders were good no complaints there. garlic bread didnt taste to much like garlic at all. more of like a bread with melted cheese on it, overall price was great. no complaints with the prices at all. i wouldnt reccommend going there over any other local spot. if u are looking for outstanding food i would tell you to choose luciosos in downtown plymouth over this place, any day, all day. The food there is 10x better than this place. This place is just basic. Best word for it. Nothing great read more
