Sauce Pizza & Wine

Definitely above average airport food! My girlfriend and I stopped at sauce because our flight got delayed and we were starving! We shared a pizza… Next time we won’t share a pizza because I was still hungry! We also got a side of calamari which was much better than expected. I plan on trying sauce when I’m not at the airport because I was so impressed!

Typically when I have gone to Sauce, it has been before getting onto a flight at PHX. This time, it was after dropping my sister off for her flight. My family and I debated about where to go for dinner. I have always enjoyed Sauce’s pizzas. This time was no exception, and we tried their bruschetta in addition to a few pizzas. The bruschetta was a caprese bruschetta with large chunks of fresh mozzarella and tomatoes covered with a balsamic vinaigrette all of this on top of a thick piece of bread smothered with pesto sauce. Yum! I had the mozzarella, fontina, and basil pizza. The rest of my party had something with a bunch of stuff on it. I like variations of cheese pizza, so I didn’t try theirs. The pizzas are nice thin crust; the sauce is not overwhelming, and the flavors mix together well. I haven’t tried Sauce outside of Sky Harbor, but since places in Sky Harbor can’t mark up the prices more than restaurants and stores outside; it’s really nice.

I went to get a Caesar salad sometime back. I specifically mentioned to the African American lady who was at the register that I am a vegetarian and yet she sold me a Caesar salad without mentioning that has Avalon in the Caesar dressing and that is only kind of dressing they have for Caesar salad. I wish she was paying attention when I said I am vegetarian not just sell something. She should be given an opportunity to work on her listening skills and should be fired if it doesn’t improve. Eating meat is against my beliefs and she clearly ruined that for me

I had never heard of this place before. Stopped in to get a slice of pizza before my flight. Got the butcher slice and it was by far the best I’ve ever had. Staff was nice, too. And it was at the airport of all places!

turkey and fontina panini had a light pesto mayo sauce that did not over power the turkey, lettuce and tomatos. Nice crisp bread and chips on the side made for a great light meal before flying out
Other possible options are pasta and pizza.

Reasonable prices for an airport restaurant. I ordered the basic mozzarella, fontina, and basil pizza, because if you can’t make a good cheese pizza you should not be called a pizza restaurant. The pizza came out really hot. The thin crust was slightly crispy with a little char around the edges from the wood fired oven, which I happen to like. The fontina cheese was a great addition to a traditional margarita pizza, and it added a nice nutty flavor. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive. Overall a good meal at the newest terminal in Sky Harbor. Now to go catch my plane!

Wow! A restaurant I’d be delighted to revisit even if it weren’t in an airport. Excellent GF pizza base and good toppings. Recommended.

I have to say … What a great deal for a Friday afternoon (although) it’s not limited to this. But they offered some great value for a pizza, salad, and 2 glasses of wine … And I could choose whatever I wanted! And the service was top notch and I was very satisfied with Sauce pizza/​Wine … GO THERE … You won’t be disappointed!
And my server was the best … She knew when I was ready for my next glass of wine and brought it right out to me … With a smile and was totally awesome! Her name was Ouida!
Thank you Sauce for the great service and even better food.
(I can’t really say the same for US Air and American)

Always a great meal. Prices are great. Staff is awesome. Food is priced good for the airport.

Quaint little pizza shop with great food. I just had a roast beef and mozzarella panini and the macaroni and cheese. Near perfect taste and not over powering on flavor. Maybe adding a bit of bacon to the mac and cheese as a twist (because everything taste better with bacon… right). This is a great spot with light fare.

I’ve had both a breakfast pizza and a regular pizza (pepperoni) here and I liked them both and I thought the price was fairly reasonable. The nice thing is that that they have several wines on tap and a good selection of craft beers (though those are only in the bottle). Pizza crust tends to be crisp and thin and they do cook i in an actual wood fired oven. IN other words, not quite the calorie bomb one might expect and it tastes great. I will definitely go again next time I’m at the Phoenix airport.

Salad was good, and the table off someone else’s table looked good, but not a good spot for an airport location unless they speed up their service or you have 2 hours to kill. Took 15min just to get a salad with only 4 customers in the place… I’m scared to find out how long it would take on a weekend or for a pizza!
Also bread tasted stale with a weird after taste… and my throat feels a little swollen…
Just FYI, the Sauce locations throughout the valley have always been 5 stars for food and service

At the Sauce airport location, I chose the build your own gourmet pizza very delicious. It’s also good to know with their salads, you can ask for a half order. I had the caprese salad. Lovely, as well. And if you don’t finish all your pizza, you can take it through security. Big :-)

Based on it being airport pizza it was amazing especially coming hungry after a flight, but if this wasn’t in an airport I wouldn’t choose to eat here. The place is trying too hard to be trendy, and I feel like they lack in the flavor department.
We got macaroni and cheese as well as a pizza (9 inch thin crust). The macaroni and cheese was WAY better than the pizza. The only thing that would have made the mac and cheese better is a slice or two of bacon. But this place is supposed to be a focus on pizza. The sauce was tasteless. The pepperonis didn’t have that pop to them. The dough was good, which is probably because of the brick oven then cook it in.
Our bill was 18 dollars, so acceptable for airport food, but totally unacceptable unless it’s a downtown main street place.

Where else at the airport can you get a pepperoni mushroom pizza for about 975 plus tax it was quick and delicious and the staff was very friendly and currently they still honor Fox restaurant concept gift cards even though Fox sold this chain off

I was pleasantly surprised with this little restaurant. We wanted to go to the Texas place next door originally but the pasta caught my eye. We also didn’t have much time and didn’t think we had time for a whole sit down dinner at the Texas kitchen. So we went with Sauce. Which was a great choice!
The bruschetta which is only $ 4 was SOOOOO good! Very fresh, warm and different than the usual. I highly recommend this dish here. I got the chicken broccoli pasta, which was bigger than I had imagined. And the hubs got a margarita pizza (which they have under a different name) it was a nice thin crust. We also got a Caesar salad. It was also bigger than we had imagined. All the food was very tasty and like I had said different than usual. It was like a modern Italian food. Very good! Also very affordable. All our food, and drinks came out to $ 25.
I must comment that the service here was amazing. You put your order in right when you walk up, the line goes really quickly. The cashier was so patient, helpful and upbeat. There was no tip jar and none of the employees were looking for any tips which was really nice to know they’re not working that extra bit for a tip.
They also have a pretty extensive wine menu. Lots of pretty bottles on display and info about them. Yay!
I expected to wait a long time for the food but we got our appetizer, salad and entrée all in 10 min or less. It was plated on nice clean dinnerware, served with a polite smile and they picked up the dishes as you finished. They were so attentive.
All in all, the service = 10 and the food = 10! Amazing! I will be back every month when I fly outta PHX. Can’t wait for next month!

Legit Pizza at an airport?
Order, sit down and enjoy. Great salad and pizza, kinda like Pieology in Cali.
We all know standards at airports are low, that this place had the whole package. Good service, good people and most of all good food.

I had to wait for my luggage which was comming on the next flight. I decided to get a pizza. Not a good chice though. I havnt been to sauce before not sure if just the airport kocation is bad like this or all of them.
1) the lady back there preparig pizza didnt have gloves on. Grabbing cheese and toping bare hand and spread them on the dough.
2) pizza was extremely salty. Maybe thats how they sell drink!!!
3) they are stingy with the cheese and topping
For 11 $ pizza i expect to have good amount of topping
4) overall pizza didn’t look or taste good. I eat it because didnt want to go to another resturant and pay another 11 $. Anywhere else i wouldnt even eat it.
Id compare their pizza with ⁷⁄₁₁ pizza.

I was happy to find a 4 – 5 star place to grab a quick dinner in PHX Sky Harbor airport terminal 4.
Sauce appears to have locations in Phoenix outside the airport as well. I appreciated the thoughtful toppings and ordered a fajita chicken and poblano pizza. It was a great and quick pizza. However, several aspects, notably the crust keep it out of the 4 and 5 star rating for me.
A fine place to eat when you’re in the airport, but hard to score as a 4 star experience.

Recently, I enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Sauce restaurant in Phoenix so I decided to check out what this airport location had to offer. I figured it had to be better than the peanuts and pretzels the airline would offer, right? And oh boy was it better!
You can order and pay with the hostess or at the counter which helps speed up the ordering process for those needing to rush off to their gate.
*Caprese Salad with Crostini*
The salad came with cubes of fresh mozzarella, diced tomatoes, freshly toasted crostini pieces, and mesclun (assorted small, young salad leaves). The fresh balsamic vinaigrette was the perfect pairing with the salad. I wasn’t too hungry and found the half size portion to be just perfect!
I love that all the menu items come with a fresh baked roll and pat of butter — perfect for dipping in soup as I saw other guests enjoying.
All in all, quite pleased with the reasonable prices, friendly servers, cleanliness of the restaurant, and healthy food options. Did I mention this is inside the airport?!
