I visited this restaurant after my friends raved about it. The salad with basalmic vinagerette (sp) was excellent. The roll that came with my meal was also yummy. The pasta and meatballs was not bad - the meatballs had an off round shape that made me think they were hand made, and were very tasty. The cavatappi (or cellentani) noodles were an interesting choice, as I expected spaghetti or linguini, maybe even fettucinni. My only complaint was the sauce was a little runny, and not as thick as I thought it should be, making me think it came from a can/jar and not being hand made.. Magianno's, it's not, but I don't have to drive to Scottsdale to get it. I'll probably be back.

Love this location, all other locations ive had problems with my orders but this location never fails me always great service and the always upgrade my drink or give me free breads the kindest workers as well😊.
I take back this review after spending over $50 here a week on one person i come in today and i ask for a drink upgrade and they want to give me problems and try and charge me $4 when a medium drink isnt even $4 and charge me for the cheese i was never charge for before, i legit left a good review on this location a week ago because of how happy it usually made me until today. will not be returning. workers were rude not sure what was going on today, makes me especially mad after a long shift im excited to go to sauce and they make my day worse. Mangers name was destiny. never had a problem with any other managers. the other mangers are amazing

The lasagna here is absolutely fantastic! Well flavored but not greasy or heavy at all. We downed it in two bites!! The summer deal is worth it for all the food. Salads great, very fresh. Pizza is okay. Though I am spoiled with New York pizza so it’s not really fair. Service is quick and staff is helpful and friendly.

Sauce has become one of my go-to spots for a reliable and satisfying meal. The ingredients always taste fresh, and the balance of flavors is spot-on. I tried The Pig pizza recently, and it was fantastic - perfectly crisp crust and generous toppings. The atmosphere is casual but clean, and the staff is friendly without being overbearing. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with friends, Sauce hits the mark every time.

This location consistently delivers excellent food and service. The staff is always professional, courteous, and attentive. I've been dining here weekly for a couple of years, and they never fail to impress. I'm especially a fan of their thin-crust pepperoni pizza paired with the pesto ranch - it’s a must-try. The manager does a fantastic job, and her leadership is clearly reflected in the team she’s trained.

The pizza was delicious and the crust was perfect. Kind service too. I got up to get a to-go box but one of the employees was already walking over to me with one.

Favorite Italian-style pizza in Tucson. The sauce is great, Not too much garlic, lots of herbs and flavorful tomato. The hand-stretched dough is deliciously baked and evenly toasted with a good crunch. Thin crust is also great. Both made there. The toppings were proportionate and fresh. I would recommend and keep coming back.

I have to modify my original post. Usually, Sauce has been a reliable go-to for Italian food; my wife and I usually love going. But for the past couple of visits, it seems like the quality, and in one case the quantity, is suffering. More specifically, the Caprese bruschetta looked more like it was prepared with a saltine cracker than on a slice of bread. Very disappointed. I'd definitely much rather deal with a slight price increase than be disappointed with my purchase.
Rude & slow Manager especially was so rude & unhelpful.

Pizza really not that good. Fresh ingredients, overpriced and not even cut.

We dropped in for a quick dinner, the cashier was really personable friendly, we sat down, the food came. The pizza was undercooked, the crust was soggy then we had to watch servers doing side work, like putting boxes together right in front of us during our dinner, not the usual sauce experience

Was an uncomfortable experience witnessed a manager yelling at staff, other guests seemed uncomfortable.
