Saggio's Uptown

Bravo! I mean bravo! My compliments to the chef on this one! Last night I got real curious about the uptown location after visiting the old location near UNM. I had heard that one of them was better than the other so I was very curious to find out which that was. Last night it was a site for sore eyes!The staff was stellar! Very friendly and very accommodating. Those who know me know I freaking love cheese! That being said you know I had to make sure my calzone had plenty. Let me tell ya they did not disappoint. Before handing it to me they let me take a gander. Omg that thing was a work of art. It was so beautiful. When they asked what I thought I said it's perfect! Like a bandit I ran for home with this treasure. I saw a raccoon sitting on the dumpster next to where I parked and I clenched that box ready to fight if I had too. I got inside took that first bite and I was in heaven. The crust had the perfect crunch, the gooey cheese layered between the savory pepperonis sent my taste buds on overdrive. Combined with the sauce I thought I died and went to heaven for a moment. It was that freaking good.Thank you Saggios in Uptown for restoring my faith in calzones. I've been searching high and low for a great one in town since my go to place recently closed shop at the new year. I'm so glad I came in. For real my compliments! I definitely owe the chef from last night at least a beer cuz that calzone was amazing! I'll definitely be returning to this location!

I've been on Keto for 1 and 1/2 months and was really craving an actual good pizza. I used to be a Dion's fan until they decided to increase their pizza prices by an insane margin. They lost a customer for life...I've spent $1000s over there. From a few friends to personal parties, to team parties etc. Before Keto I had ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut and was hugely disappointed in the entire experience and I never got my final farewell to delicious carbs. So with these things in mind I set out to find a new pizza to call my own. I searched for online reviews...best pizza in town. Saggio's was in the list but not at the top....and I remember from previous experiences I never had a complaint....besides the location. I was surprised to see they opened a new place 5 minutes from my house. I read reviews...and didn't see the best reviews but I decided to go with my gut and give it a try.Not disappointed at all. I got there and it had a similar ambiance as the Cornell location. Very bright. It had a great painting on the roof.... Creation of Adam. It brought back memories of their original location and I became more than excited.Me and my wife sat at the bar and decided to have a beer and ordered TO GO. The Bartender worked diligently. Business oriented man. Extremely clean bar. I was impressed. I also noticed the bartender, took our order, was serving guests, and then he also went back and made my pizza. This dude was doing like 3-5 peoples job. I've worked in the restaurant space and I noticed the hustle. I appreciated seeing someone with work ethic. Someone not afraid to work. I have also seen other comments about this same man. And I believe they mistake his professional attitude as rude. Sure he's a bit short when it comes to small talk but the dude works. I can relate to him as well. Nothing is worse than having to work 3-4 jobs and get paid for 1 of them. I would give this guy a raise. Either way the pizza was delicious. I was worried about the $3.50 up charge for toppings on the giant pizza.... but they put $3.50 of the topping on your pizza. So you get what you pay for. And thats a good thing. I will be going back to Saggio's probably in May when I will allow myself to eat another Carby Pizza.

I don't recommend this restaurant. I had the shrimp scampi which was flavorless and just oily with pasta. They wanted to charge me for a glass of water too but didn't. Really? My friend had a green salad and slice of pepperoni pizza. While she finished her salad it was just a bunch of lettuce and a few tomatoes. She didn't finish her slice. Service staff were young adults who didn't seem like they enjoyed their work. I won't return and neither should you.

We went here today because my wife loves their pizza, I don't care for pizza so I got the shrimp scampi, I was very surprised at how bad it was, pasta was rubbery and the shrimp was cooked to a jerky like substance it was not cheap or edible, odd that a Italian restaurant served such poor quality food. Stick with the pizza I here it is good

I've always liked saggios but they keep undercooking the chicken in their chicken parm special. It was pink and has a gummy texture. Probably won't be back. Not up for risking getting sick.

I've been a returning customer for over 10 years.Saggio's pizza is the best in town, period. Ever since my college days, Saggio's was always my go-to-place for pizza (there used to be a location inside UNM campus).Although the pizza thickness seems to have gotten thinner over the years, I love Saggio's still. I order Saggio's giant size once a month.Cost about $30 for a full giant pie but it's worth it.My favorite pizza in Albuquerque.Dion's is overrated.The best pizza I've ever had in my life was in Chicago but Saggio's is almost close enough.I definitely recommend it.

Saggio's never disappoints if you're looking for good pizza this is the place to go for sure! Not only do they serve delicious pizza but they have pastas, salads, soup, sandwiches, calzones and desserts. The portions are big so you can share pretty much anything if you'd like to, I've had good customer service every time I have gone. It's usually pretty busy during lunch time and dinner time.

BEST EXPERIENCE Hands down, that we've had in a while. The staff was friendly, food was fast and incredible. We were able to eat and enjoy our time and watch the Lobo game all at the same time. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I NEED ONE ON THE WESTSIDE, preferably in Rio Rancho close to Rust but will take it anywhere closer than Uptown. I don't like the original location, not because of anything more than the area so UPTOWN is our only option. But living and working on the Westside make it a trek to have a great meal. We had two slices that were HUGE, a bowl of chicken alfredo that was big, but not overly so and the calamari. Each of these dishes were perfection and left me planning my next visit.

They gave us chicken Alfredo with no chicken. We called to see what they can do and they said: did you eat it already? We told them we started to. They said since they can't confirm if there was chicken in it, there's nothing they can do. They wanted our dish that had two bites taken out of it. We offered to send them a photo so we could just get a credit, but the rude unprofessional girl who answered said her bosses Rhea and Matt said there's absolutely nothing they could do. The managers didn't even bother getting on the phone. Were they going to re-serve our chickenless chicken Alfredo? Gross. ​

I went to this place to watch Sunday afternoon football as I wanted to have a slice with a beer. The service was extremely slow as the bartender was also the cook, making a pizza. When he finally arrived to the bar area where I was sitting, I told him I wanted a beer. He asked for ID, then asked what type of beer I wanted. He quickly said he was "not comfortable" serving me. I was puzzled and asked why, he said he could not give a reason. I then went to Uptown Sports bar which was nearby, and got service with no issues whatsoever. Ordered wings with a brew. Extremely puzzled as to why I was not served at this (Saggios Uptown) place, a real dissapointment. I been going to the Saggios near the UNM for years with no issues. Don't waste your time, go somewhere else.
