Masullo — Restaurant in Sacramento

Oh this is terrible to have to post. I’ve come here a handful of times. My first experience was great. Partly because it was one of the cooks first times on the floor. He and I had a good rapport. I ordered the margharita pizza and the arugula salad. The salad had scarce toppings but tasted great, the pizza was under cooked. It was super soggy and had 4 small pieces of basil on it. Half the sauce. So I was eating dough. Loved their coffee which they get from a local coffee shop. I decided to come back because I really enjoyed the initial service and thought I can just tell them to cook the pizza longer, add more sauce, cheese and basil to the entire pizza. The service was terrible, I had an older woman serve me. She was ice cold and never came to check on me. I sat without water until I paid my bill. She hovered over me as I was paying and made me feel obligated to leave her a tip. I left feeling very upset that I was pressured to leave a tip for horrible service. Well I went back a couple of more times to see if it would get better. It didn’t. Yesterday, I came back from a six hour drive and wanted their salad. I came in and decided to eat outside as there is a negative vibe inside. The kid serving me did not like that I requested shaved cheese. ( second time this happened) I did not care that their cheese is all the same, grated or shaved. I wanted it shaved. I also asked for the pizza to be extra crispy with lots of basil. There were 5 tiny pieces of basil and not evenly distributed. He charged me for the cheese. Even though it’s the same cheese. Didn’t tell me. Charged me for extra salad dressing. Didn’t tell me. This hadn’t happened before. Now here is the kicker, I get home and immediately have stomach pain so severe. I spent the entire night in fetal position on the toilet because of the sharp excruciating pain and was running to my bathroom every second. I’ve spent all day today at home because I cannot control my bowels. I know I contracted a foodborne illness there. After thinking about it. Each time I’ve been there I’ve gotten sick. I have experienced diarrhea and stomach pain every time. I guess I overlooked it. I just put it together last night. This has been the worst of it. I do not have any food intolerances or any such thing. Last night and today have been the most unpleasant experiences. I guess I’ve learned my lesson and will not go back. I’m guessing something is off in their ingredients. Perhaps the tomato sauce is not being properly held/stored. Or they’re not using proper sanitation. Maybe these guys do not change their gloves and wash their hands per servsafe. Or the water is bad. I don’t know but something is definitely wrong. I’ve been a chef for years and these are all symptoms of cross contamination/ food borne illness. I literally paid almost $40 dollars for an explosive, excruciating...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Masullo Pizza in Sacramento, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We ordered the Elisa pizza and the Paula pizza, which left a lasting impression.

The Elisa pizza was a delightful blend of flavors. The combination of fresh ingredients was evident in every bite. The crust was perfect, providing an excellent base for the toppings. The balance of fennel, mozzarella, and onion was spot on, with the addition of a hint of oregano elevating the overall taste. It felt like a classic yet refined pizza showcasing the ingredients' quality.

The Paula pizza was a unique and flavorful creation. The topping selection was both intriguing and delicious. The pesto added a fresh, peppery kick that balanced the richness of the other toppings. The crust was just as perfect as the Elisa pizza, with a lovely char and chewiness that made each bite satisfying.

The ambiance of Masullo Pizza is cozy and welcoming, with a rustic charm that makes it an excellent spot for a casual meal with friends or family. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish.

Overall, Masullo Pizza offers a fantastic dining experience with creative and delicious pizzas. The Elisa and Paula pizzas are must-tries, and I look forward to exploring more of their menu in the future. Highly...
