I had to make sure that the first chicken sausage and wild mushroom pizza I ordered wasn't a fluke. Nope, the second one confirmed it. I really think this pizza is the best I have ever had. If you are reading this in December you need to move fast. This amazing combination of flavors is this month's special and won't be around next month. Thank you everyone at Saporito's for coming up with this delicious pizza. I'll be back for a third before the month is up.

The Wild mushroom pizza with chicken sausage is the best pizza we've had in a very long time. We were very happy with it even tho we questioned even getting it. The house salad was awesome also. The Staff are always super friendly even tho very busy. Very happy experience all around! When dining in I'm always amazed by how fast the guy cuts and boxes up the pizzas.

This is our go-to place every week. Salads are so fresh and are very reasonably priced. House dressing is my favorite. Best cheesecake around lena. Homemade ranch dressing, I believe. Pizzas are always on point. Cooked fresh in a clean kitchen in front of you. Front staff is very friendly and if you visit once a week they remember you! Local owned pizza restaurant.

I order a small salad. It has hard boiled egg, homemade Italian sausage slices, tomato, hot peppers and homemade Italian dressing. Then my child size pizza arrives with wonderful crust and flavors. I like sausage, green pepper and onion. Always good service and friendly local people enjoying their pizzas. A couple times the whole building shook as a train came barreling down the track. That's an additional perk since I love trains.

Best Pies in the area!! Anytime we order from here, we usually always order the Junk pizza. BUT, you absolutely have to try their specialty pizzas as well! The spaghetti and meatball pizza is amazing...all the way through to every specialty they offer! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

The food is good and the prices are pretty normal. The waiting times can be a little, but I usually get delivery, so that might make it longer. The staff is nice and there are quite a few items to choose from. I recommend going here :)

I can't say how frustrating it is to live in an area where there are at least 10 different pizza places within a 10-15 minute drive and not one can hold a candle to this place! We had a party of 8 which as you know isn't always easy to accommodate. However, for Saporito's they had no issues doing so. The staff was very friendly but the shining crown on this place was their pizza. The sheer amount of toppings you get on your pizza made my jaw drop. Having ordered 2 16" pizzas (one meat lovers and one the junk) we still had pizza left over! We are normally a neapolitan pizza only kind of family but the cracker style crust with bubbles in the dough that was also slightly charred to perfection with an amazing sauce makes me sad that they aren't my nearby pizza place. If we ever are around this way again you'll best believe I'll be stopping here again!
