on Citysearch Nov 13, 2009The atmosphere was good, but the pizza sucks. Over-rated. The pizza came out so soggy that it just flopped over and fell apart. We also waited 1 hour just to get in, and 1 hour just to get our pizza. I'd rather have Papa... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 28, 2008This pizza has good crust and a good sauce. The day I tried it some of our pizzas were burnt, but I've been assured by my friend that was not normal. (more)

on Citysearch Nov 08, 2008I am from Italy, and I realize that American Pizza is different then traditional pizza - but I don't get the hype about this place. It's a completely average American style pizza. The remarkable thing about this place... (more)
Fooooooooooooood
on Citysearch Sep 26, 2008This is the best American style pizza I have ever had. Everything is fresh, delicious and affordable. Lamb kabobs make a great appetizer. It is a little annoying that they only accept cash, but it's worth the effort to... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 31, 2008<b>The Scene</b><br>Locals, some of them of Italian lineage, flock to this local institution to soak up the atmosphere. Some posters and photographs hanging on the windowless wooden walls date back to the... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 18, 2008If you want maybe the worst service, add on a sprinkle of rude bartenders, long lines and below average pizza, please come to Santarpios. Seriously if you are a local, come on in, if you are not, beware. This place might... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 15, 2007If you like average pizza, rude and non attentive service, and a ridiculous long wait to get in the place. I would recommend this so called pizzeria. (more)

on Citysearch Dec 07, 2007Santarpios has - quite possibly - the best pizza in the U.S. Sounds extreme, but if you have not had it, you are missing out. The pizza is amazing. The sauce is unique and like no other you've tasted. The sauce is most... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 24, 2006I would go to Santarpio's every weekend if I could! The pizza is fantastic, inexpensive and fast! I went on a Sunday night, good time to go, and there was no line. There isn't much ambiance, but who needs it when the pizza... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 11, 2006This is the place to go if you liked to be yelled at for not clearing the 6 empty dixie cup size glasses (last time I checked that was the waiter's job) eating half raw sausage, bricks (oops sorry I meant bread) and pizza... (more)
