They have a freaking bar in here lol!!! That's a big plus but no drinks for me today. They have plenty of space in here do different party sizes. The menu on the blackboard in back I believe are specials they change, the item I wanted was actually in the menu itself. No coca cola products, my brother told me to mention that lol read more

Came here with my family (5 of us ) We ordered a pitcher of soda, Clam strips, a large bacon pizza and large BBQ Chicken pizza. Everything was good but the sauce on the bbq chicken pizza tasted like sweet and sour sauce not bbq. Staff was quick and prices were reasonable. read more

Sax had amazing service, delicious food and allowed us to enjoy ourselves all afternoon. We hosted my daughter's birthday party there and it was an amazing time. All thanks to Sax pizza! We'll see you again soon. read more

We ordered a medium sausage and mushroom pizza. The pizza was nicely done. The crust was crusty and soft inside, there was plenty of sausage and fresh mushrooms on the pizza. The sauce was just the right amount and very tasty. We will visit again we were pleasantly surprised at how good the pizza was. read more

A party of 5 seated right away. We ordered Clam strips, a large bacon pizza and large BBQ Chicken pizza. Everything was tasty however the sauce on the bbq chicken pizza tasted like sweet and sour sauce rather than bbq. Service was quick and prices were decent for our party size. read more

See all

I survive on their tortellini Alfredo and chicken parm grinders. Great quality for a great price. read more

Food is always excellent! That's why they've been around for so long! I highly recommend!

This is a great non assuming place. It's been here for decades! The Food is fresh, prices reasonable and staff always friendly!

Amazing service awesome food Atmosphere is great and every employee is more than accommodating of everything you need read more

Great chicken parm grinder & very friendly staff! Easy to order & fair prices. Will be back if nearby.

Not fancy, but who wants fancy, anyway? My son loves their penne alla vodka, and I have to agree, it's great. Pizza is good too; even my Italian grandmother liked it (it's Greek pizza so our hopes were not high!). Staff is very friendly. However, they are still using styrofoam to pack takeout, which is pretty gross. Eat in, and bring your own container for leftovers. read more

One thing I actually do miss about Connecticut is the calzones. The calzones here are just a little different, and by different, I mean way better. I stopped at Sax's Pizza on Sunday night after calling ahead to place my order of a calzone with mozzarella cheese, sausage, and of course the meatballs. When I finally got home and dug in, I got the exact calzone that I was craving for the past year. It was meaty, the crust was perfect, and the pizza sauce on top was the final touch needed to make the perfect calzone. Maybe this place isn't worth 4-5 stars to most people, but to me? This is a great place to come for pizza or a calzone! read more

Sax Restaurant & Pizza - This is my paradise. - Pizza Near Me - Plainville, Connecticut

Are they the best? No. Are they the worst? Also no. But I live really close and their pizza is pretty good and reasonably priced so they're good in a pinch. Service is so-so. Most of the staff is friendly but I ran into one woman who was literally whining about how much time she had left on her shift. I always order my pizza with light cheese and it's usually a luck of the draw if they actually get that right. Regardless, I'm willing to look past all that as long as they stay relatively consistent. I'd be interested in trying some of their pasta dinners done day as well. read more

Pizza is still the best. We moved to the Jersery Shore 9 yrs ago. When we return, first stop, is SAX. The crust is airy and the sauce has the right amount of tang. We get it well done so there is no flop. Come on, it's real and u gotta stop in read more

I like Sax pizza - not because it's great pizza lol. It's been a staple for plainville for years and years. You know what you're getting and the taste is consistent and a great place for lunches or dinners with large groups. Nothing fancy but hometown feel. For some reason soccer is always on the TV on top of the drink coolers lol. You could actually have some choices of draft beer or choose from two shelves of liquor for drinks lol - hey it's a family joint read more

Great pizza and steak sandwiches highly recommend! The staff is friendly and it's great for family gatherings! You can not beat the price for the deliciousness of John's cooking! read more

my wife and i ordered a large and a medium pizza from sax's and the sauce was not all that great at all. when she ordered my large pizza she told the person that she wanted extra he called it meatball and it supposed to called hamburger. the sauce gave me such an upset stomach that i had to have saltines and milk to help settle my stomach big time. i remember at one time when the sauce was really good, i am not sure what happened. but on thing i do know is that i am not going to ever order a pizza from them ever again. and when he cut my pizza instead of cutting into pie shape it was cut into square shape. any other place that i have gone to to order pizza it has been cut into pie shape. when you go to this place, be real carefull as to what andd how you order your food read more

This review is only for their "cheesesteak". I have been going here since I was a kid and they used to offer free hot and sweet peppers to go with your meal. Anyways......I've only ever gotten the cheesesteak with the house made chili. The chili is basically just a simple meat sauce, but they load it on the bottom of the crispy oven toasted roll. It's so good! Try it......you won't be disappointed. read more

I used to go here a lot. Basic pizza shop, I mainly just had the pizza. There are a lot of pizza ace in the area and this is the only one I would eat at. That was until I pulled in today and they have a sign stating you have to wear a mask. Since I got vaccinated months ago I don't even keep a mask in the car any more. Well I guess I now have to find a new pizza place. read more

I have never eaten such a good Hawaiian pizza in my life, and I am already 87 years old... I have eaten pizzas in Spain, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil, but not as delicious as the one you make , and with that special taste of the dough and the tops... Keep up the good tastes and work... Congratulations. read more

waitresses unprofessional with customers and always making remarks about their bosses. Presumed joking from owner in very poor taste. Food somewhat OK but other local pizza restaurants in same vicinity much better and service also much better at other restaurants. Will never go back to Sax! Customers need to be treated with respect and any and all interaction should be in good taste. Remarks about other customers is very undesirable Prices are also fairly high and contents of grinders and sandwiches is skimpy. Pizza not the best. read more

I don't visit this place often but each time I do the food and service gets worse and worse. Very pricy food bland it even tasted bad I only ate a few bites I don't send food back you never know what could happen . No free refills on fountain soda and the list can go on and on. read more

Had a very great first experience here service was amazing fast, super nice, courteous. Food was amazing we got garlic bread with cheese which came with a dipping sauce that was absolutely delish. Then got the four cheese pizza which was absolutely amazing. Definite great experience. An added bonus, it was across the street from the GE charging stations which are free so we charged our electric car while we ate. All in all very great restaurant and will be back! read more

Sax Restaurant & Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Plainville, Connecticut

This is our go-to pizza joint. Kids love the pies, wife and I love the salads. Baklava is awesome. A bunch of years ago we had a bad storm and lost power for a week, rare for this area. Sax was one of the few places open. They had no power but the oven was still working. They made some pies for my family and told me to come back to pay, as I had no cash and card reader wasn't working. At that time I had not established myself as a regular customer and was surprised they were so trusting. Always a friendly staff who make it a point to say hi to my kids. read more

Went here last week to eat. Not impressed at all. If it wasn't that food I had wasn't good, this place would get 1 star. I had the fried clams and they were pretty good. Everything else this place has issues. For one the place is about as dated as it gets. Lamps my mom had in her kitchen in 1973. Waitress had this smug personality. I order my food and I'm not a fan of Cole slaw. I said extra fries... We don't do substitutions.. What?? And charge for refills on drinks. Get with the times. I get its one of those old school been around for years establishments. But nothing memorable except that crappy service this place has does it for me. In this day in age when I go to restaurant I want to be able to get what I want for side orders. Not what they decide for me. That shtick went out a long time ago. Won't be coming back read more

Pizza is very good. Sauce is tangy and crust is crispy. Not a NH or NY style, more "Greek." but very good. Service is good, decor is modest but expected for a pizza restaurant. Can not comment on other dishes, have been going for a few years and only order the pizza. read more

Only one thing I ever get here and this item rocks. Steak and cheese with onions. I have had this grinder in many places but they do it best. Steak melts in your mouth, right amount of cheese and the onions are cut small enough so they actually soften when it is mixed into the meat and cooked on the flat-top. My husband almost ALWAYS says "Sax Steak Sandwich" when I ask him what kind of take-out he wants on a Friday night. He doesn't even mind going to get them since they don't deliver (which would make the review 5 star...LOL) so with this ONE item, you can't go wrong. Have been eating these for well over 25 years and they haven't changed. Still GREAT! read more

Love this place! I have be going here since I was a kid, and they still offer a fun, family environment. They are an amazing staff and I love taking my little girl their as well. Food is great and made to order, they don't complain if you need to switch things up, my Dad has been asking for square cut pizza since we were kids! read more

Sub par. Checked it out this evening while aimlessly searching for new dinner options. Not impressed. Food was bland, rubbery. My cheese ravioli consisted of two differently shaped pastas. Is this an artsy approach or did they run out and have to improvise? Daughter's lasagna burnt and lacking flavor, husband's steak and cheese quite unthrilling. Asked for veggies for the grinder on the side, they came out lukewarm and gross looking. Waitress OK, a bit pressing on "which number is it on the menu" and correcting the way we were ordering, as she did to other guests ordering in the vicinity of our table. A bit sad on a wasted evening, off to Dairy Queen to fill our bellies! read more

Food and service is fantastic. Strawberry shortcake is scrumptious.

Great Greek pizza, very friendly staff. Lunch slice special during the week is perfect. read more

Wait staff was pleasant. Was able to get a seat fairly quickly for a group of 8. Food was good. Would recommend.

The sauce has no flavor, Greek salad didn't come out with cheese or grape leaves, when we told the waitress she laughed, took the salad and threw the cheese and grape leaves on and brought it back messy. I asked for a side order of pasta, the waitress said no the owner doesn't allow side orders of pasta. I will never be back. Extremely unhappy. read more

I tried there pizza for the first time in many years and i have to say it is pretty good. It is greek style just like Kensington Pizza.

Back in high school during the 70's we used to hang there all the time. The steak sandwich was a favorite of mine. I took my son there tonight and have to say I was a little disapointed. He enjoyed his steak sandwich but I remember the sandwich having more flavor. But then again that was 40 years ago! Otherwise our waitress was very pleasant and the prices were reasonable. read more

Best greek pizza in CT. I've been coming here since I was a kid. Best crust and sauce. This pizza taste the same since I played little league and our team stopped there after games. In fact I think its gotten better over the years. I recommend this place to everyone that loves Greek pizza. They get it right! read more

I went in the other night,stood at the counter menu open,made eye contact with 5 employees several times and not one of them even acknowledged me let alone said hello..yet they answered the phone 3 times and took their order..so after about 7-8 mins of being ignored I left..too bad..So I called the next day and asked for the manager..his response was "well if were busy"..seriously..so if your busy you ignore guests,you cant acknowledge them but you can answer the phone..now after I pointed this out he of course then said sorry but it was pretty much a BS sorry..I guess they have so much business and money they dont need anymore..no problem cuz you wont get ti from me!!! or anyone I know read more

One of those family owned businesses that have been around forever. Owner and waitress very friendly consistently every time we have come here. They know some of their customers by name. Smallish place, clean and comfortable. Ample menu to choose from-standard fare of a greek restaurant-food is tasty. Great baklava, eggplant parmesan and fresh, crisp salad. They even have gluten free pizza available. I know when I come here I will be greeted with a smile. Keep up the good work! read more
