Read More On Citysearch by the quickthinker at Citysearc 9/26/2010 - Not what it used to be.
It's hard now a days to find a good, respectable restaurant. This wasn't as bad as others, but the environment isn't really comfortable and the people aren't welcoming. The appearance from the outside is appealing, but they need work inside.

I ate there for the first time in 2002 when I moved into the area. I thought it was very good (would have recommended it to others)but a little on the expensive side. I continued to go there occasionally usually for the pizza. On my most recent visit it just didn't seem the same. I don't know if it has changed owners/management, but I was very disappointed!! The pizza was really lacking cheese,...

I saw him there a couple months back and those guys are as Italian as it gets! The seafood is great, pizza is amazing, pasta is yum! A bit pricey but its a nice place and the service is great. I been to Italy a few times, the food here compares nicely. Taste fresh and not defrosted like the other places.

I live across the street from Sac's, and was totally ecstatic to have a new fine dining Italian restaurant in the neighborhood when it opened. And then I ate there. The food was generic and lackluster (were talkin' frozen cheapo calamari generic, in fact the calamari at Sanford's diner up the block greatly outdoes Sac's in quality), and generally oversalted. Now the brick oven pizza is actuall...
Read More On Citysearch abcascio 8/23/2008 - Wow. RUDE. But food is good.This is a tough one. A perfect example of having to chose what's more important to you. The waitstaff can be downright arrogant, abnoxious and RUDE. The food... ? It's delicious. I'm disheartened that Louise or whatever his name is, gets away with being arrogant and lazy with people. The other staff working were hard-workers and seemed very friendly. Please please please, bring some of those guys...
Read More On Citysearch sandj26 7/6/2008 - ITS MY Family But the truth is the truth.Look the service is not the best ,prices a little high but the FOOD is GREAT.The Sacramones are great owners and very freindly .Domenico is the man to ask about wine, Anthony is the best man to talk to and understands what you want. He will have you in stiches. I think its a great place to have dinner .So go try it you will enjoy yourself .
Read More On Citysearch Rock65 4/5/2008 - Favorite Italian in the neighborhoodThere are at least a dozen restaurants in Astoria that likely qualify as somebody's neighborhood Italian restaurant. Sac's is mine.
The staff was low-key, accommodating, and efficient; the lighting appropriate for both a date and family night; the grapevine mural decorating the walls corny but appealing. The bread basket, which could easily have been filled with a perfunctory ciabatta, contain...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/3/2008 - One of the best Italian restaurants you'll findThe coal-oven pizza is perfect in texture and taste. The rigatoni filetto pomodore is perhaps the most flavorful pasta dish I've ever had. There's a thoughtfully created wine list and nightly specials for steak, chops and fish. The restaurant has a cozy neighborhood feel and terrific service. I've tried all the great pizzerias and Italian restaurants in New York. This is the one I keep coming...
Read More On Citysearch jackhough 2/10/2008 - What can you say about a $27 pizza?Three of us were in Astoria and wanted a pie and a pitcher of beer. So we tried Sac's. What could warrant a $27 sausage pizza? Not ambience; Sac's doesn't have any. One side of the place is very below average slice slinger decor. The "restaurant" side has either a small dark area or a cold plexi-glassed sidewalk area. All in all, the place does not strike you as exceedingly clean. As a few...
Read More On Citysearch ellend 12/5/2007 - Delivery ServiceGreat food, but if you get delivery, be prepared to wait, a very long time. I waited for an hour and 15 minutes until I cancelled my order. The delivery guy showed up an hour and a half after I ordered. The food is good but not worth wasting an hour and a half waiting.
Read More On Citysearch jdc203 8/10/2007 - Great Italian food with TERRIBLE serviceMy wife and I ate here many years ago, and since we were in the area last Saturday, we decided to try it again. Parking, like all around Astoria, was a nightmare, and took forever. The place decor is very basic, but is very cozy. Service was the worst I seen in years. The waiter was too busy talking with his friends, and after taking our order, kept on chatting instead of taking the orders to the...
Read More On Citysearch thewhitetiger 8/5/2007 - What's with all the great reviews??? The food is good but certainly not worth five stars!Come on people get real, the food is good but certainly not worth 5 stars. The pizza is good, again not great. I will give it 3 stars. This is a pizza place with seating. If you want to dine out, see my suggestion below:
Try Manettas in LIC. There you will find both great food and pizza plus, the atmosphere is much nicer for dining in.
Read More On Citysearch maryanngallo 7/5/2007 - Great all around place to eat or enjoy a glass of winePizza the old fashion way, you can just taste the sauce from the aromas, I prefer little less cheese and well done. I am easily swayed for the homemade pastas, the lasagna (every other week) rivals any here and Italy. The staff is a little slow at times but never a big deal.
Read More On Citysearch vinodatavola 4/26/2007 - Warm service, hot food, cool location!Our "go-to" neighborhood place. Whenever we want consistency and a delicious meal, we'll choose Sac's. It's unfortunate that some reviewers have had unpleasant experiences, as we've had tasty food and welcoming staff every single time. The owner personally walks around to meet, greet and bus tables. We ALWAYS get the same server, Milton, who takes care of us like family and memorizes how I like c...
Read More On Citysearch mzrose 4/25/2007 - Best Itlaian family style dinnerI take many big parties there and it is always a 10 as far as food and service. Best situation is to just let the owners feed your table family style. allow them to be creative. 1 of the owners Anthony is a character out of a Sopranos episode and Domenic has one of the most sophisticated wine palates i've expierence at any price range.... Don't go there and order veal parma... I've been there wit...
Read More On Citysearch robo211 2/16/2007 - Dreadful dining in -- only for takeoutThe comments of the last reviewer are right on the beam. My wife and I have given this place three chances and all three were a nightmare. First time, they brought the wrong pizza to the table -- and it was stone cold. Second visit, we requested dessert menus from the very unfriendly waitress -- she disappeared, never really to return as we sat there for at least fifteen minutes and then paid our...
Read More On Citysearch djcamara 2/2/2007 - Great Pizza, Horrible serviceI had always walked by the restaurant since its in my neighborhood, and it looked like a really cozy, attractive place to eat. I finally stopped in one night with some friends who were visiting, and we had a rather uncomfortable dining experience. It was around 6:30PM on a wednesday, and the place was pretty much empty, and a busboy standed about three feet from our table during the entire meal, ...
Read More On Citysearch daizi1121 2/1/2007 - Best Pizza in New York CityI'm responding to EllenD's review. While I agree everyone is entitled to their own opinion I have to wonder why I, a born and bred New Yorker love this Pizza. I know good pizza when I eat it. So did "slice.seriouseats website", NewsDay, TimeOut, Zagat and New York magazine. Most individuals give their opinions but all agree SACs pizza is the best out there so I question yours. Did your $27.0...
Read More On Citysearch susie_r 8/3/2006 - OverratedWe moved into the area a year ago and I happened to try a few slices from the take out side, a little pricey, but very good. So I tell my wife about how good the pizza was, so we decide to order it one Friday night, I ask for it well done, and head over to pick it up, pay $23(yikes for 3 toppings), get it home and it tastes like they make the worst pizza in Queens. It was not well done, it wasn...
Read More On Citysearch stulofski 8/3/2006 - Mixed Feelings...I had order pizza from here a few times and it was excellent so I decided to try out the restaurant part of Sac's. I went there twice and left with the same mixed emotions. The service was slow both times despite it being a very small sized restaurant. They do however have some great bread that you can snack on while you wait. The food was good both times but was vastly overpriced for a small...
Read More On Citysearch captmorgan20 7/23/2006 - Delish!Have probably tried a little of everything on their menu, and can't seem to find anything I don't like! Putanesca is amazing; Four Cheese Gnocci is like ma's; can't go wrong with their Mama's Meatballs or Sausage; fahgheddaboud the pizza! Potentially the best pizza I've ever tasted. And... when you call for delivery... they'll deliver beer, too. Beer delivery with your pizza? Heaven!! (If you din...
Read More On Citysearch timothydunn 5/31/2006 - I would eat it out of a dumpster...Best. Pizza. EVER.
Fresh mozzarella. Incredible sauce. Thin, crispy crust for the regular slices, and the best sicilian slice I've ever had. I feel bad for anyone who hasn't had Sac's pizza cause they haven't truly lived.

Read More On Citysearch vatcat 4/24/2006 - Great for take-out or dining inIf you want to just grab a slice, enter the take-out area - the plain and sicilian slices are great, but the marinara is to die for. Or, if you're in the mood for a nice sit-down, enter the restaurant. The entrees are huge and great for sharing. They also have live music some nights, and a fireplace during cold winter evenings.

Read More On Citysearch mjfklga 4/27/2005 - One of the Best! Has one of the best tasting Sicilian slices I've ever had, and the regular slices have the perfect blend of fresh mozzarella and tasty sauce which isn't slobbed on. Chicken rolls are also really good-- tastes very similar to homemade chicken cutlet.Yes-I did notice a bit of an attitude with the guys up front--but seems like the regular "I hate working and serving people all day" type of thing.

Read More On Citysearch tomhyland 9/30/2004 - Bellisimo.Sac's Pizza has the best pizza in New York City or Long Island. I've eaten at every other top rated location, and they trail Sac's in terms of taste and quality.
His Sicilian, Napolitano and Spinach Pizza are as good as it gets.

Read More On Citysearch krys_nyc 2/25/2004 - Best Pizza Outside Of ItalyThis place has the best pizza in New York, let alone the United States. Patsy's has nothing on Sac's. The first time I ate there, I thought I had discovered Pizza Heaven. The crust is thin and chewy, the sauce is spicy and they use fresh mozzerala. They don't load their pizza down with tons of cheese nor is it dripping with sauce. Every single piece has that perfect balance of cheese and sauce. I...
