Amazing pizza place. My very first taste of the famous Connecticut-style "apizza". It was crispy, thin, had a flavorful punchy sauce. Also the two ladies who served us that night were fantastic and super nice.

Great atmosphere, beautiful decor and very friendly staff and wait staff. Coal fired pizza you say? It was cooked the exact way I was hoping. Great thin crust, fresh, sweet enough tomatoe sauce, cheese was the exact right proportion, sweet onions were exactly as I like them, pepperoni and 1/2 artichoke hearts, also proportioned just right. I was told good things about Sasso's and they did not disappoint.

May 2023 - always happy to return to Sasso's. We chose to sit outside on this warm windy Spring day. The garlic and herb wings were flavorful, crisp and moist but a little oily. The white clam and bacon pizza was a new choice for us from their menu and really delicious. # Another fine meal at Sasso's in August 22. It had been some time since experiencing their shrimp, bacon and spinach pizza with red sauce and we wanted to try it again. Still delivers. Also still excellent are their smoked chicken wings. We ordered half Buffalo and half Garlic and Herb. Two special cocktails, Lavender French and the Perfect Manhattan above par. # If an opportunity presents itself to go to Sasso's, personal or professional, I'm there. Delicious food. Sitting outside after a recent event, a good variety of a dozen pizzas came to our long table, as well as two salads, Caesar and mixed vegetables, and sausage with broccoli rabe. Favorite pizza for me was the white pizza with sausage. # Every time I drive by Sasso's I want to pull over and get a pizza. There is always some pressing appointment, or too small a window to sit down and eat or some other reason it doesn't happen. So the other day driving my partner somewhere nearby, we agreed we didn't care if we only had twenty minutes, we were getting Sasso's pizza. We didn't have time for their wings sadly, but ordered their Meat Head pizza with bacon, sausage, pepperoni and meatball. Even better, we were glad to see we could order two specialty cocktails from the new bar Sasso's built next to their main room and kitchen. Great idea. We would get wine or beer before, but it was the right idea for Sasso's to expand and add a full size bar and tables to their already popular establishment. Our waitress said they put it in around a year ago, which shows how many times we or I have driven by and not been able to stop! Taking photos, I was pleasantly surprised to walk by the door that connects the newer bar to the original space and see the chef was actually tossing our pizza dough high in the air and catching it, in true old style. Each catch and spin the dough got bigger and thinner until it reached the right size to be prepared for the signature coal fired oven. Sasso's has always had a cool interior with high ceilings, wood, metal, exposed brick and a combined rustic but modern feel. The bar space is an extension of this with plenty of tables, a long bar and the same modern soundtrack playing over the speakers. Our service was quick, the pizza was hot and savory and the drinks were well-made in petite glasses. We boxed up what we couldn't finish to enjoy the next day and were only five minutes late! We will find time to enjoy this spot more frequently, it's such a delight. Give it a try if you haven't yet. # We returned here a few days ago and the wings are still double baked and juicy. We tried the meat pizza this time with sausage, pepperoni, bacon and hamburger and it was really good just like their shrimp pizza we usually order. We do find since the crust here is so thin and crispy it's best to eat right there in the restaurant rather than take it to go in a box which steams it in transit to be too moist. # Great smoked wings with a crispy skin from the coal fired oven. Today's pizza was delicious with shrimp, bacon and spinach. Diners have a choice of red or white sauce. Wine and beer bar. Our cappuccinos were really good. The chef came out and asked his patrons how their food was which we appreciated. Their sangria which the menu says is made daily wasn't on hand except for one last glass which we ordered. Tasty.

Jazz brunch was incredible! Classics on the menu like eggs benedict and waffles but kicked up a notch with short ribs and chorizo sausage. Excellent cocktails and cappuccino! Excellent value and support local. They grow their own lettuce and make their own bread! Live music for free from 2 well-known musicians for freeeee! Haven't even tried the pizza yet but it looks phenomenal as everyone raves about it. Everything on the menu is so good and the salads are huge!

Sasso's is definitely my top choice for brunch. The menu is inventive, and the brunch egg pizzas are delicious, especially the Lovely Lady and the Piglet!! The waitstaff is wonderful. Aaliyah and Taeya really stand out as they are super friendly and attentive, making Sasso's a warm and welcoming environment.

Fun spot, great place to hang out always attentive and wonderful staff! I've had the smoked wings and eggplant fries. Can't go wrong with either. Veggie pie was full of veggies. The sausage and pepperoni pie was great. Good sauce and crust.

We went for brunch and there was a band playing outside on the patio/sidewalk area. Was really good. I had the banana bread French toast which blew my mind cause I had never had,heard or seen it before. I’m not gonna lie it literally looked like meatloaf but it wasn’t and was delicious. My kids got the bacon & egg on a English muffin pizza. Literally the whole dough/crust was a English muffin basically. Normal pizza size. Was just out of the box I thought anyway. Was my first and only time I had been there. Hopefully we will get back there someday

The place looks nice, but I never dined in. The staff was friendly. I recently ordered a large cheese pizza for takeout. The pizza was ok. The crust was burned in places and the pie was a little chewy. Again , it was ok pizza, but for a $25 plain cheese I kind of expect excellent. It was definitely not worth the price.

We had ceaser salad for starters followed by small pizzas that were more like large. The drinks were tasty.

This place was amazing!! Had a really delicious escarole, bean and sausage appetizer, the arugula, fig, prosciutto, ricotta cheese pizza is amazing, and so was the spicy sausage pasta dish, as well as the vodka sauce dish!! Servers were all lovely in the atmosphere was fun and vibrant! My Garden Sour drink was very good too!! And my dad didn’t complain about the espresso, so that means it must’ve been good. We also got the tiramisu for dessert and that was delicious as well.

As a pizza-centric foodie sasso's has been on my list of places to visit w/ a reasonable distance....finally made the way out here toting a good buddy along to rate these pies. The ambiance of the location feels old school n SCFP was the most active spot on the strip when we got there. We were seated promptly and everything was pretty streamlined. The menu had a solid layout and some interesting toppings We chose a cpl pies and waited for them to pull up on us. We ordered a hot sausage special And a classic pepproni They got to us in a decent amount of time and we got to see them working the coal pit which was nice. The verdict.... These pies landed in around a 7.7 on the pizz-ah-meter. The cook on them was good, there was nice char and some quality ingredients all around. The only bumps in the road were the heavy handed saucery. The sauce is good its just too much for the crust to handle which leads to the nxt bump which is the flop.... Its seriousssss which makes a fork n knife a requirement rather than n after thought or else youre challenging to shovel a slice in your face fast enough before and epic collapse leaves a pile of toppings on your lap. Outside of this you can see why they have been at it a min. Will return eventually

3 NOV 2023 UPDATED: Wow!! I could not have been more wrong about Sasso's in my initial review. I was invited back to the restaurant by the owner (through google), and I made a reservation right afterwards. The owner offered a free pie, something I rejected. I simply was touched by the amount of care Sasso's has for their customers, and even my lone review could spark that response. Upon our second visit, we were seated right away and treated to the same service we had previously. I truly believe that the pizza the first time was a fluke. This second one we ordered was spot on, everything I've come to love from a coal-fired pizza. Perfect crust, wonderful cheese, not greasy, and able to be held. We ordered the eggplant parmesan pizza. I seriously wish I could leave a higher review for the service at this place. Please, if you ever find yourself in Torrington, stop by Sasso's. You will not be disappointed. OLD REVIEW: Food 2 Service 5 Atmosphere 1 The service here was fantastic, I'd like to open with that. We entered at a busy time and the waitstaff were able to pull some strings to seat us. However, it doesn't get better from there. The pizza was pretty mediocre. I've had coal and wood fired pizza all over Connecticut, and Sasso's came highly recommended to me, so it was disappointing to get such bland and underwhelming pizza.
