    Awesome pizza! :) Haven’t found a great pizza place here in ABQ yet, and we think we found it! Ingredients were great, cheese was extremely melted and the pulls were oooof. Sauce and crust were tasty, and the atmosphere was pretty dang cool. ONLY downside was parking, first time here, and we parked and paid $2 on the street meter, but some meter maid decided we weren’t within the lines and charged us $20. If you go, just find somewhere to park OFF the street.

    Checked out to see where I could grab a calzone for dinner this evening and stumbled upon this restaurant. Headed there and enjoyed the unusual Raquel’s calzone made with chicken and pesto! The crust was made right and the ingredients blended nicely for a great favor profile. Enjoyed the whimsical atmosphere of the restaurants interior and the service was very good. All and all a fun place to eat while in Albuquerque!

    I did not enjoy the food at all. It tasted like canned ravioli. The sauce was bland. Even the bread sticks were flavorless. What I wanted in the menu was not available. The decor looks like a Vegas replica... murals of movies and actors, Greek columns, etc. Service was ok and the barely warm food came out fast. Parking is OK. Even my husband said it tasted like canned ravioli and he'll eat anything. I would not recommend this place.

    I’ve been coming here occasionally for over 20 years (since college) and it has always been solidly mediocre and sometimes it has been somewhat disappointing, and for my most recent trip it was the latter. I stopped in for a salad and a slice. Ordered the Nirvana salad which is supposed to come with rice noodles. Well, as you can probably tell from the picture, the salad didn’t have rice noodles. PLENTY of dressing though, so much of it that I had a soup at the bottom of the salad bowl. Ordered a slice too which was meh. El Presidente Portnoy would probably be disappointed. Plenty of cheese but that sauce is hella salty. Add in a drink, and I was set back over $20 bucks.

    When you drive close to 300 miles for a restaurant, you know it’s the best at what they do! Saggios has ALWAYS been amazing. I’ve never had a bad experience. The food is incredible. The calzones are unique (or traditional if that’s your flavor) and enormous! The bread sticks are beyond tasty, especially with ranch sauce. Their pasta dishes range from traditional to some of the most interesting combinations. And the cannoli….OMG the cannoli! I dream about them. John Mark and Crystal are the most helpful and kind people. They helped us a lot on our last visit, and really all the staff are courteous and accommodating. Saggios is a must visit for lunch or dinner.

    Saggios absolutely sucks! 9 out of 10times they mess up my order. I keep giving them chances because when it’s actually done right it is good! This is supposed to be shrimp Caribbean salad with extra pineapple and cilantro lime ranch. they gave me some spicy gross dressing. There’s always something wrong with my order, even though we sat at the counter for 5 minutes with the attendant who looked clueless. Very disappointed for how how much they charge. $13 for salad that is made wrong. What a Shame

    The service was awful. I placed an order, waited for over 30 minutes, only to have the staff tell me they lost my ticket. Then the manager after asking if I could get a refund rolled his eyes at me and only refunded a single ticket item. Horrible experience! I was so upset I didn’t even want to discuss why he didn’t refund what I never received and walked off. Lost a customer! Update this facility did not even refund what they said they were going to. Saggios just hoodwinked me! The management team is super shady. How can you in all honesty tell someone you’re going to refund them falsifying a receipt to only charge the original amount without compensation for your mistake. I still have not received anything on this receipt other than a glass of wine and a drink.

    This place is so neat! So many things to look at around the restaurant. I went during lunch on Tuesday, things went smoothly, but you can tell that this place gets packed. Parking is a bit cramped, but worth a wait! Great food and a fun experience!

    The food was fine. I thought it was large portions. We are not from here so we weren’t familiar with the process of how this place works. You order and they give you a pager with a number. If someone in your party orders a salad you get paged for that first. Then the rest of your food later. We realized we didn’t get a side salad after the rest of our food was done so the gal behind the pick up counter said they should have given us that first thing. But then didn’t help us get one. So we had to stand back in the main line to let them know. That took an extra 10 minutes because they were pretty busy. The atmosphere was fun though.

    A great spot for a quick bite to eat. They have everything from pizza, pasta and cannolis. Pepsi products only. Their dining area is interesting as there are murals and statutes everywhere. The staff was polite and attentive. I got the slice of pizza, a drink and pasta salad for like 10 bucks. They also had a small wine menu

    Apparently, the best time to visit Saggios is right after work. There are virtually no lines to wait in! The service was friendly. I had the veggie pizza and my sister had the classic focaccia with a pasta. We also had the 4 cheese ravioli with came with a ranch and marinera. Everything was delicious!

    Ordered salad ,pizza, pasta and drinks. By the time we got the pasta everyone was finished with their food. (40 minutes) The expeditor rolled her eyes when we checked on our food and was not apologetic at all. Literally had to get it to go bc everyone was done, and then acted like that was a problem. The tables were dirty and we had to bus our own table to ensure it was clean. Holes in the sealing patched over with little slabs of wood. You can see the physical lack of up keep or care, very sad for a place we always loved.

    We went in for pickup. The place is awesome inside. We order pizzas, thinking skimpy no way they were amazing portions flavor was epic. They have brought amazing pizza to Albuquerque and this is the place. My dinner was amazing, tomorrow breakfast will be epic.

    I think this place is wonderful. Selection of beer is kinda small. The food is great for the price especially on certain days when they have specials. And the atmosphere is awesome! Lots of art everywhere and even a waterfall inside. It feels like an amusement park for adults.

    This place definitely saved me in a crunch multiple times while in college. After graduating, I still come here with family and on dates. The food is delicious, fresh, and filling. It is a good value for the price and it's simply delicious. I once spent a birthday that I had to spend alone here for lunch, and the staff were so nice! I recommend this place 100%. However, make sure you're ready for leftovers if you're not too hungry

    Hadn't been to Saggios in awhile. Was craving a good tasting pizza. Still the best pizza in the 505!! Grren chili, Canadian bacon & Mushrooms😋

  • 5/5 Shaun 8 months ago on Google
    I ordered a meat calzone, and my wife ordered a mushroom and spinach calzone. They were both delicious and served very hot 🔥. It took a little time to get our calzone, but that means it was hand made! The decorations on the wall kept my eyes busy. It was interesting to find the small details here and there. Many places to make memorable pictures. It's a great place with an old movie charm.

    Funky and fun food is good. Mild in flavor, atmosphere makes it all worthwhile.

  • 4/5 Keira P. 1 year ago on Google
    Soooooo many options it took a while to pick something to eat. The cannolis looked legit but they have no tiramisu. I had a special ordered pizza just wanted no cheese on a pepperoni with some garlic sprinkled on but it cost $10 more than a gourmet pizza because I didnt want cheese 🤦🏽‍♀️ The food is alright but didnt end up finishing it. you gotta be careful when ordering so you dont go broke.

  • 3/5 Beth F. 1 year ago on Google
    It should get a 4.5 for food, but there is SO much waste, it’s hard to consider coming back. They’ve branded plastic water bottles (instead of banning them), and even branded plastic wrapped plastic forks. I hope they will consider the planet. The food is good, portions amazing and the value really there.

    Really cool place we just stumbled upon. Got really yummy calzones. Not too bad a wait (you picked it up at the counter), super neat environment with outrageous things to look at everywhere. Don’t even feel like photos do it justice! So unique. They also had TVs up If you want to watch your sports and take a break from the Americana decorations everywhere. The fountain was pretty wild!
