Sarpino's Pizzeria Evanston — Restaurant in Evanston Township

Unfortunately I cannot give Sarpino’s Evanston zero stars-which is rightfully deserved. On 05/30/2023, I ordered Baked Spaghetti and Meatballs for two, spent $69.89. It looks like they dropped the salt containers in the pot of Meatballs and the Ground Meat Stew. Eating these felt like being poisoned by salt, in the trash it went-not ordering ever again!

Salt is used as a preservative. After reading resent reviews of food poisoning, undercooked food, burnt pizzas, sounds like food is spoiling a lot at this joint.

In the service of fellow customers and their wellbeing, everyone who have left 1-star reviews for the past 12 months must file a complaint with the City of Evanston-Food Safety and Restaurant Division to have this place thoroughly inspected. The shear amount of spoiled ingredients at Sarpino’s Evanston is a magnanimous monstrosity!

Another point I want to make is the price paid for food items do no reflect on quality nor value. I stopped ordering from Sarpino’s Evanston because of it, but my Lovely was craving pasta with meatballs, so I obliged. This place charges $$$ for $ worth of food. A lot of the Google reviews mention this factor as well. Several years back I went to pick an order from the store after shopping at Sam’s Club, I asked the attendant how could the restaurant afford to give a free pizza when ordering one, BOGO deal. Attendant told me that food was dirt cheap to make, and offered me a free slice of Chocolate Cake while I waited. Cake was pretty bad, so no, I didn’t order that item ever.

If you have read this far and are thinking of ordering from Sarpino’s Evanston-don’t make the mistake I have, surely there are better options, near the University perhaps-just not at this business. I would strongly suggest you read several recent reviews and you will see a trend, people will not order from them ever again,...

okay I've never heard of this restaurant before last week when I tried one on a whim, because it was the only place open at the time. didn't expect much but got a personal pizza with black olives and onions and it was the best pizza I've had in my life. The bread is amazing...I was thinking about it two days later and took the family here. Asked if there was any specials and he said if we signed up for the app we would get 15% off. He was happily telling us about the pizzas and the rest of the food they had, it's very nice to see somebody that knows a lot about what they do and enthusiastic about it. anyways we were given a nice discount despite only placing a $35 w/tax order. The food is wonderful. We also tried the wings (9?), they only had a couple of flavors available thay day (sold out) but they gave us barbecue on the side which is what we wanted anyways. The wife got some type of chicken alfredo pizza? I forgot. I got the taco pizza which was very good and not too hot with jalapenos. They were flavorful, not the type of in a cheap jar or anything. these were very good jalapenos. everything was proportioned correctly on the taco pizza so you could taste everything. Kid said the wings were greasy but that's a kid that only eats chicken nuggets so she doesn't know what she's talking about. I thought the wings were great and not greasy at all. The other review I made last week said how the pizza was so fantastic I didn't make it two and a half blocks back to my event, I sat in the car and ate it because I couldn't help myself after one bite. I wanted to visit the same location but that one was quite a drive so we went to Evanston. If you come to Chicago for pizza, this is the place. I don't care what the natives might say. There's also locations in Florida and...

I just purchased a speciality pizza, the pizza margherita, and felt like someone just robbed me! I paid 20.94 for a medium, 8 slice pizza that wasn't worth the $5.00 of cheap-ass, disgusting Little Caesars. When you pay for a speciality pizza, you expect that the toppings will be good, fresh, and abundant. I got none of this on this pizza. Why put sauce on the side--try putting it on the pizza so it doesn't taste like I'm eating cheese and bread. In this case, more bread than cheese! Then if you know anything about margherita pizza, you know you see fresh tomatoes on top. Well, I asked why wasn't the tomatoes on top as the picture shows, and the cashier says they're underneath the cheese! Okay, so I accept that maybe they do it a little different (EVEN THOUGH THRE PICTURE SHOWS OTHERWISE). I get home and do not taste any fresh tomatoes on the damn pizza at all--why--because there aren't any on it. Oh yeah, two sprigs of basil are added for appearance because I sure can't taste it. I drove all the way to this place to get what I thought would be good, decent chain pizza only to be absolutely pissed off BIG TIME! I wish I could have driven all the way back just to get my money back. I don't know about other people's taste on this feedback forum, but I do believe this is by far the worst pizza I have eaten in Chicago/Evanston. This is complete trash!...
