I love ordering delivery from here because it's free delivery so I feel better about tipping! They've delivered my pizza in the same amount of time as me waiting to get a table, sitting down and ordering.
I also LOVE this place because I can add toppings FOR FREE!!!! Their website is AMAZING!!! I can easily order something on half my pizza and double something else on the other half.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE TACO PIZZA!!!! It's sounded really good and I was nervous about ordering it, but if you sign up for their email coupons I got a free pizza with my taco pizza in case but turns out my fiance and I were fighting for the last slice of the taco and didn't touch the backup!
I also recommend the Hawaiian with double bacon and double pineapple!!!
Puke food. Literally. I ordered a pizza from Sarpino's via Grubhub which was so revolting that it made me sick.
The cheese of the pizza was curdled so that it looked like a mound of scambled egg on top of a red sauce that didn't taste like tomatoes. It was oddly sweet and grainy like it had sugar in it. There also was this pink stuff in the pizza that looked remotely like bologna. It was a cheese pizza so perhaps I don't want to know what that was.
Was this an off-night for Sarpino's? Quite possibly. However, grubhub not returning my phone call or email has convinced me that I won't do business with either place ever again.
I am thinking that the only time I am going to go here and order pizza is when it is 2:00 am during the week and all of the places that I normally frequent are closed.
The pizza is OK, but like I said when everything else is closed, it will do the trick. I ordered a large mushroom and sausage pizza and the bill only came to $13.36. Hmmmm... the menu said $20???? Hmmmmm... I was afraid that I was not going to get what I ordered, but it looks like it was an error in my favor. Hooray for me. If I did have to pay over $20 for one of these pizzas, I don't think that I would order from here again.
When i returned with the pizza, we received a phone call asking if we were going to pick up our pizza? Huh? What? I am eating a slice right now? Anyway, I will not become a regular here by any means, but it is nice to know that they are open late to satisfy my pizza cravings if needed.
Sarpino's has okay pizza, but I have to agree with the other Yelpers that their wings are terrible. They don't have any breading (I realize many people like them this way, but I don't) and the skin does feel really soft and blubbery. Yuck. The sauce does not taste like typical buffalo sauce (it's sweeter and not spicy enough), and the bleu cheese dressing is like glorified Miracle Whip (too sweet/tangy and hardly any bleu cheese in sight). Major bummer - I really REALLY wanted some wings, and I couldn't bring myself to take another bite after the first one I ate.
A friend of a friend recommended Sarpinos, saying it wasn't quite deep dish but not quite thin-crust. She said it was unique and amazing.
It was unique, but that's about it.
When I pay $22 for a 14" pizza and two cans of soda, that pizza had better blow me away. Instead, it was dry, flavorless and barely 14".
In a city loaded with amazing pizza, this place shouldn't be in business.
This place sucks. Seriously. I'd rather have Dominos.
Actually, that is an insult to Dominos.
I'd rather starve.
I really realllly didn't like the taste of this pizza. Even intoxicated, it was merely edible.
To their credit, it was delivered hot and quick.
Tastes how I remember Pizza Hut tasted like back in the day....greasy...oily...my chest hurts..oh my stomach huts...now I have a lot of gas....although this will do the trick to satiate the late night hunger, you'll pay for it in the morning.
The food here was okay. We had cheesesticks, a pizza, and some kind of soup and everything was edible but nothing really stood out. A good place for late night food, especially since delivery is free, but not really what I want during the times when other options are open.
In, out, quick! I only had enough time to run out and grab something quick to bring back to my desk. Sarpino's was a pleasant surprise. While the spinach pizza from their ready-to-go display case was rather greasy, it was tasty and had a crunchy deep dish crust and plenty of spinach. The real surprise was the "salad" I grabbed as well - a thick sliced tomato, chopped fresh basil and a dozen or so small mozzarella cheese balls. It was absolutely heavenly with a ton of flavor!
It was a good meal, i was very pleased. If I lived in this area, I'd be ordering from them all the time!
-Late night delivery - may be all night?
-Fresh and hot delivery
-Great sauce!
-Local place, unique flavor
-Deep dish is not really that deep, but was good
Sarpino's makes online ordering so easy. They let you make 1/2 and 1/2 pizzas and there are specials and a 10% off coupon for online ordering. Also, they have options for lightly baked or well-done pizzas, and some other options I skipped.
Sarpino's pizza is for carb-friendly people. The crust is a thick, chewy pan crust.
I ordered: (1) spinach special, well done with creamy garlic dipping sauce; and (2) pesto lover's with marinara dipping sauce.
I actually liked both of the dipping sauces I picked, but I will probably get marinara only next time. The creamy garlic sauce seems to be a a garlic aioli, which would be great with fries, but is a little much with pizza. Also, you kind of need the marinara for both of these pizzas.
The spinach special has feta in it, but I couldn't even taste it. Maybe next time I'll order extra feta and see what happens. The pesto lover's has no basil pesto flavor, and the sauce was spread so thinly on the crust that it was a pale green. :( Also, there was very little chicken on the pesto pizza. I think both pizzas could have used more salt in the toppings. But perhaps that is what the dipping sauces were for. The cheese is pretty thick, and cooked to a bubbly brown, which I like.
There wasn't a big difference between the well-done and the regular baked pizza. The well-done was a little browner, but it tasted about the same. Because the pizzas were delivered in a thermal delivery bag, they kind of steamed in the box, so weren't really crispy on the outside. I'm sure carry-out would have been better.
I would order from here again. I had Pie Guys' delivery last week at a friend's place and the thin crust was like cardboard. Sarpino's at least has a crust that I am willing to work off at the gym.
Good cheese, West Loop delivery in 30 minutes, and a good selection of specialty pizzas. The crust is a bit soggy though. I'd say it's a fair deal - not the best pizza in Chicago but quick.
If I had not ordered Wings from Sarpino's, I would have given them five stars. I think their pizza is THAT good.
It reminds me of a college pizzeria we used to order from. It's not Chicago Style, and it's not NY style, it's like some happy medium.
The crust is both crispy and chewy. It's sweet like they took their time with the dough and let the yeast proof completely. These are the little details that good pizza joints get correct.
I ordered a Hawaiian pizza, because sometimes it's fun to eat like a 12 year old. The ham was delicious, the pineapple was delicious, the sauce was delicious. The pizza was fantastic. If you live within their delivery area I can NOT recommend them highly enough.
Don't order the Wings. They are fatty and not spicy. It was kind of a downer and turned a reasonably priced pizza into an expensive venture.
One of the cool things about Sarpino's, speaking of price - is that there is free delivery! It's ridiculous in this economy to charge $3 for a delivery fee, and then ANOTHER $3 tip, and then $2 tax. For $20 at Sarpino's you can get their largest pizza (16" I believe), and you're good to go.
I swear we do a late night order of Sarpinos every weekend. Since we moved to a location that doesn't have a ton of late night eats open, we rely on Sarpinos to send us our munchies fix after a night out at the bars. Their sauce is absolutely delish!
I'm kind of a pizza weirdo and Sarpinos deals with my antics very gracefully. I really don't like tomato sauce on my pizzas and most places frown upon this preference, but not Sarpinos. They make my Hawaiian pizza vegetarian and with no sauce. Just the way I like it.
A big plus is that you can order online, which makes requesting 4 different sauces much easier. They're also really speedy with deliveries. Gotta love it!
This little pizza place on Lake St. is best for delivery. And they do that WELL. We wait maybe 35 minutes before they're ringing our doorbell. I love the NewYork Deli pizza. The crust is great, the sauce a little sweet, and the delivery quick. You also save like 15% if you on-line order. I recommend this place for Loop/ West Loop pizza delivery. Skip their calzones though- they weren't good.
The place is so tiny- I don't think they have inside seating.
I discovered Sarpino's because they stuck a menu on my door. I had never heard of it before. I ordered from them a couple times before I realized they were a sizable chain.
The delivery is fast and free, and they have a number of special offers all the time, so the pizza ends up being pretty darn cheap.
The pizza is good. Is it the best in the city? Certainly not. But it's fast and cheap and gets the job done. You can order online, which is a big plus for me. (I hate calling for delivery or take out. . . don't ask why, I'm weird). They also offer a discount for ordering online. Their website has a pretty good ordering system and you can customize your order completely. Make sure you check out the special offers section before completing your order. . . chances are there is something in there that can save you some money.
As someone else mentioned, the crust isn't super thin, it's more in the middle. I guess the dipping sauces are nice if you're into that, but they don't do much for me. Their garlic bread isn't bad. It's round-ish (sort of oblong) so you order by diameter, like a pizza. I got pasta from them once, and it was just OK...nothing special.
If I could I would give this place 3.5, but I decided to round down based largely on the meh pasta.
Bottom line: For fast, hot, cheap and good (not great) pizza, give Sarpino's a try.
This is by far my favorite pizza! Since the first time I tried Sarpino's Mexicana pizza with Ground beef, tomatoes, jalapenos I've craved it almost every week since then. After my first order was so delicious I could not bring myself to try something new the next time, however since then I've tried the Santa Fe chicken and found that its equally delicious.
The cheese is the perfect consistency and saltiness and the crust is chewy and not the typical bland tasting delivery pizza crust. While other reviewers have had issues with the chicken wings, I've ordered both the hot wings and the bbq wings. While they might be greasy (as I would typically expect of wings anyways) they are very tender and flavorful - I'm a fan.
While I would order their pizza and chicken wings any day, pass on the dessert. The cheesecake was tiny and extremely disappointing. The additional cost for "strawberries" meant that the small slice of frozen cheesecake had a glob of unappealing strawberry jam. Still, the delicious pizza makes up for it!
Another great aspect of this place is that its open any time and the delivery is faster than any other food delivery I've experienced!
I've tried the pizza, the sandwiches, the mozzarella sticks, bread sticks, and the calzones. It fills you up, and then you sit around for the next couple of hours wondering why you ate all that blah salty mess in the first place.
Super fast, open late, free delivery. Sarpino's is what it is--my expectations were mediocre and they were met.
I am not a huge fan of the crust on their pizza, but their cheesy breadsticks with marinara sauce are my late night snack of choice. They are the closest thing to Gumby's Pokey Stix (on some college campuses) that I have been able to find in Chicago.
One gripe: their online ordering system is really easy to use, but when I try to checkout, it says that my address is out of their delivery radius. Which is, of course, not the case because they always deliver to me. Kind of annoying but I guess I can make contact with a real human being if the result is 2am cheesy bread sticks...
I wrote a review for the one on Montrose but I have something to say about this location in particular:
I order 4 pizzas from Sarpino's every Sunday at the exact same time to feed my crew at work. They know what I want when I call and the driver has figured out where exactly to park his car when he shows up. But every time the driver shows up, and I have had like 4 different drivers in the past 2 months, they always call me and say the same thing every goddamn time:
"Food Delivery Please Come Out."
For some reason, that phrase chills me to my very core. There is something lurking in the subtext of the way the sentence is said. Something that says, "Paul, you may die soon. Very, very soon."
Nah, choose another place. The best thing about it was that we ordered delivery and for delivery it came fast. Oh and the sausage tasted good. The rest was meh. We didn't like the sauce, ask for the ranch instead of the marinara sauce is not good at all. It isn't good on their pizza either.
I also prefer a thin and crispy crust, this is more of a medium hand tossed crust. I have a lot of coupons for this place that I got in the mail, and even with those, my large 2 topping pizza, 2 liter of soda and bread sticks plus tip came out to be $34.
You may like that style of pizza, hand tossed, you may like a sorta bland marinara, but I didn't. If you do, well then it will arrive quickly at your door.
I give this place 5 stars for bringing me and my bf yummy pizza and cheesy bread at all hours of the night. So call me biased (have to admit, its not always perfect- I recently had some cheesy bread that was on the cold and dry side- but hey, it cured my hangover) Just beware- they bring it REALLY fast if you are in the west loop, so don't...uh...get too...ugh..."distracted" after you call in your order. ;) Its open very late (4am on the weekends) and I'd much rather have this than Chicago's Pizza. Big plus for the fact that you can get the basic late night pizzas (you know, cheese, or sausage, or veggie) or more "gourmet" kinds of your drunk self happens to be in a fancy mood.
This stuff gets the job done and makes for a good hangover breakfast if you pass out in the middle of eating it :) (maybe it's not really accurate to give them 5 stars, which should be reserved for really fantastic places, but I love them, so too bad)
sarpinos is to pizza what the ford explorer is to high speed turns.
Finding a good pizza delivery in the West Loop isn't an easy task. Yes, I could clog my ateries with pizza from other Chicago outposts. However, I like delivery (or a walk down the street) for just a regular pizza.
Once we discovered that Sarpino's opened, the bf and I were itching to try their pizza and menu. The menu is pretty extensive in a good way and had good offerings. I was pleased to that they have a veggie pizza unlike some of the other delivery places around us. I had a personal spinach/four cheese pizza and he had a meatball calzone after a recommendation. My pizza was delicious and tasty. The meatball sub was also great from what I heard. My bf put it best that the meal was good and surprisingly because it was an actual quality pizza joint around the corner. I recently tried one of the sandwiches and it was really good. I had a mediterran veggie sandwich on focaicca with a pesto sauce. It was hot, tasty, and hit the spot after walking home in the cold.
The service here is very fast and nice. Even ordering a sandwich at the counter only took five minutes and I had tasty Italian in no time. I'm definitely going to try more items on their menu and they have reasonable prices as well. It's definitely a nice addition to the West Loop area.
I opted to Dine-In at Sarpinos because I was starved and read they delivered food fast. The layout was better suited for a dry cleaners than a pizza parlor. It took the staff over five minutes to recognize my presence and when they did the guy who took my order was puzzled when I asked if there was a regional influence for pizzas. He stated that there was a "Greek" influence to their pizzas which was intriguing to me because I wasn't aware that Pizza was a Greek specialty. After hearing this I should have ordered the Greek Pizza but I took a chance and ordered a 10-inch Tuscany Pizza with a side order of cheesy bread for a grand total of $21.89 not including the cost of the soda!!!
At those prices for a thin crust pizza this better be good! The toppings tasted like they were canned and the cheese wasn't any better than Little Caesars. The crust had no consistency, very soft on the bottom and crispy on the sides.
If you visit their website http://www.sarpinos.co... they do not list pricing on the menu. Perhaps they "forgot" to list their prices because they are outrageous. You can go to the Fulton Lounge and get a fantastic thin crust pie from Follia for the same price. Not only was the pricing outrageous but they misspelled TUSCANY with 2N's on their website!!! There are plenty of other options to choose from in the West Loop and this isn't one of them.
This place is great, its fast, there is no minimum for delivery and its open late.
I see a lot of people complaining about the price, but if you order in store they have coupons right at the counter and if you order online you can choose from specials AND you get 10% off. You can get a large two topping pizza, cheese tortellini and bread sticks delivered for under $25 with tip.
The pizza is pretty good, if you are from Michigan, its close to Jets or Buscemi's. It has a nice bready crust and a decent amount of sauce. The pasta is decent, its a little on the oily side, but still good for fast food. The Tiramisu is yummy. The Calzones are pretty good as well.
These guys are FAST.
Just okay. A friend of mine recommended this place because of the cheesesticks we used to get in college (basically pizza without sauce). So, we thought maybe we found a little piece of Purdue in Chicago.
It could be a few things: one that I've learned to appreciate quality pizza and I don't live in a college town anymore where you need to settle, or two, it's just not that good. I don't know.
I'm a firm believer in the fact that I really don't think there is such thing as BAD pizza. I mean there is certainly excellent pizza. But I've personally never had pizza so bad that I refused to eat it. It's always somewhat good. So, stars are for that alone.
But, pretty bland. Nothing special about this place. From the other reviews it doesn't look like their pizza is too good either. I'll give them this though: you can order online on their website and get 10% off for doing so, and the delivery guy was super nice to us. And the price was reasonable.
But yeah I'd rather have spent my money elsewhere, on real pizza. :)
I was just thinking that I have yet to post a review for any my favorite pizza places. Don't get too excited, this isn't one of them. On my walk home from Ogilvy every evening I have been tracking the progress of a new pizza place called Sarpinos. Last week it opened and we decided to give it a whirl last night despite the fact that it looks like a corporate chain.
I called Sarpinos to order by Large Sausage pizza as I was leaving the grocery store and was told it would take 10 minutes. Sure enough 10 minutes later I arrived at Sarpinos and there sat my pizza. Point for Sarpinos. Much like a Papa Johns they offer a few types of dipping sauces for their pizzas. I am of the opinion that if you pizza doesn't taste like shit you need not offer sauces. Subtract 1 point from Sarpinos. This rule however does not apply to Monicals.
The pizza was hot. Point for Sarpinos. The sausage was that weird hot dog diameter type of Italian sausage that kind of weirds me out. Subtract 1 point from Sarpinos. I will note that the sausage tasted fine as far as weird hot dog diameter type of Italian sausage goes. The cheese was plentiful and ooooey gooooey. Point for Saripinos. The crust was a bit thick and buttery for my tastes. Subtract 1 point from Sarpinos. Overall the taste was good. Keep in mind it's not "Ohhhh.... I am really craving Sarpinos" good. But it's definitely "I'm hungry as hell and Sarpinos is around the corner" good.
Overall the pizza is good for what it is. I would order from Sarpinos before I would order from a Papa Johns or a Pizza Hut. The restaurant is very clean and the service was better than you'd expect from one of the monster chains mentioned above. Plus they are about 175 steps from my house and open late. Point for Sarpinos.
1 Large Sausage Pizza

$13.60 (after coupon!)
Point Total: 1
After further investigation it looks like Sarpinos has locations all over the world. So much for not being a monster chain. Subtract 1 point from Sarpinos. Sorry Sarpinos!
Revised Point Total: 0
The only good thing I can say about the pizza is that it was delivered fast, and hot. I'll give 'em that.
After that...pretty bad pizza, especially for what I paid for. Don't do it. You're better off taking the bus to Dominicks, getting a couple of DiGiornos, and calling it a night.
Late.
No delivery charge might get some people hooked, but the food here isn't worth it. their wings are uber fatty and greasy (it was almost like eating a piece of chicken with lard smeared all over) and their pizza was bland, dry and flavorless. There are better pizza establishments all over chicago so I say keep looking! However, extra star for free delivery.
perfect for a late night pizza after the bars or just dinner in general, MUCH better than dominoes and great variety on the menu -- the delivery is quick and the online ordering so easy and thorough.
It's alright. I haven't had the pizza, but I've eaten the sausage calzone wrap and I've been okay with it both times I've had it. Their prices are very high though, that calzone was 8 bucks! And looking at some of the other prices on the menu, I can definitely tell that it's not a place I'll want to go more than once in a long while. Of course, given that I work less than a block away, I'll probably be venturing in more often than I think.
The pizza is good. The delivery service, however is not. I have ordered from Sarpinos over 10 times, and more times than not, the delivery has been late. One time, they were over 20 minutes late, and they gave me a 20% discount for my inconvenience, which was nice, but I was really hungry and starting to turn into a monster. If you have the option for delivery vs. pick-up, just go ahead and pick it up. I have also had some problems with the online ordering system, so now I just call my order in. I usually get the personal sized Pesto Lovers pizza, which is served with marinara sauce. I've never had a pizza quite like it- its full of flavor, and it has chicken and pesto on it, which is a little different than the norm. I have cravings for this pizza from time to time. I have tried other varieties of their pizza and they were just ok- which is why I stick with my Pesto Lovers- give it a try...I would give them 4 stars if they had more consistent delivery service.
