Saucies27 Pizzeria — Restaurant in Vernon

First time trying them this past Friday & must have been an off night for them, as I've heard good things about Saucies, but this experience sadly was not the best. My friend & I ordered separately, for takeout. She ordered first, one of their chicken pizzas. I ordered a 1/2 & 1/2 (their specialty pickle & a beef one) . Was told 45 minutes. We came back to find out her pizza had been forgotten about. Mine was closer to an hour/+15 mins wait (we were waiting outside & went in several times to check). 30 mins later, her pizza was ready, & told they had gotten a new oven, still figuring it out, & they got slammed with orders right after putting in our orders. Still charged full price & was given 2 drinks for the trouble. We didn't say much & were understanding that it was a Friday night & things get busy. Got home to see her pizza was totally burnt on the bottom & not really edible. We were too tired to go back & deal with it (should've taken pictures). Mine was good & presented well, just one of the sides could've used more time in the oven; but probably due to the difference in sides and/or maybe the oven issue. The 2 stars for food is based on my friend's experience. I felt bad for her as it was my suggestion to try Saucies. The service was very friendly; however, for the price, being told about the oven woes, & forgetting about an order; an adjustment in price would've been appreciated (more excuses than apologetic). I may try them again on a weekday & after a while when they've figured out...

I am so grateful and lucky to have this amazing food local to me! It's a special relationship to trust someone with your food, and I don't take it for granted. To know that the people preparing your food are considering the joy, comfort and nourishment that their work will bring to you is valuable knowledge. I really treasure the handful of local restauranteurs who take such great pride in serving our community, and Saucie's has quickly become one of those businesses. They have really great food made with the best ingredients, and the service is awesome too. It's western style pizza (what you expect here in BC), but they set themselves apart with their exceptional toppings, sauces, dough and the personable service. They are still establishing themselves as a business so I look forward to supporting them for years to come as they really shine and grow into the community. Relative to pizza chains, their pricing is a bit higher, but you get so much more in terms of quality, and you can sleep well knowing you have helped your neighbour and kept your dollars in the local community. Give them the chance, I assure you that it's worth your time and money :)

PS

Even if you aren't big on typical dipping sauces for crust etc, try some of theirs, they are a refreshing take on the worn out old classics...

It has been approximately three years since I last ate at Saucies Pizzeria. It's a place I always intend to eat at more often since it's just over a 20 minute walk away.

Please note they don't do delivery and there aren't any dine-in tables. However, next to Subway there is a round picnic table where you can sit and eat if it's decent weather.

A small pizza and a can of soda comes to 22.50 after tax. That puts it on par with locally owned gourmet pizza places such as Jim's and Farmhouse, but a tad more expensive than Jaigs or Top Choice.

The pizza tastes absolutely DELICIOUS! I believe it is a married couple who runs it. Both times I have eaten here the husband mans the phones and the front counter. He is unintentionally hilarious and a nice and entertaining man to interact with both times.

The place is decorated in a very inspired and clean way. They definitely have a sense of humor equal to their sense of style. Just look at the signage in the front window.

If you're eager to eat local and equally eager for delicious pizza, you can't get more equal and more delicious pizza than Saucies!

Highly recommend!
