Best pizza in town for sure!!!!! I miss my Chicago pizza and we thought let's try this place out since there's nothing really good near us and surrounding us. I have to say the wait was worth the try. It was a busy Friday night and we were told from the beginning it would be about an hour wait for dine-in which hey we didn't mine the wait as we wanted to try the food. We ordered the Italian Beef Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, and a Mushroom, Black Olives, I think my daughter added pepperoni to that as well. The pizza was amazing, crispy, flavorful, like we couldn't stop eating to the point that the next day we wanted more. The foot traffic picking up their take out orders was insane so I knew it was definitely good. We were the first ones to sit at a table for dine-in and the rest of the tables got full really quick. There's not enough seating areas so I'd say arrive early and if you have a big party plan accordingly as they do have a big table but it gets busy quick. I think next time we are sticking with take-out. The customer service was 10/10 I was impressed as how they kept coming to us and ensuring we were good as well as working behind the counter during dinner rush hour. Customer service was by far the best, keep up the good work!! It's impressive to me when you see teens work well under pressure and continuously smiling. It shows the great team in place and positive vibes to keep a busy business flowing smooth. The kitchen area looked like they were moving fast and in an organized fashionable way. If they were overwhelmed you couldn't tell they just worked hard and focused on getting those tickets out. It smelled good the whole time we were there. I also ended up ordering the cheesecake to go and it was the last piece and I'm so glad I got it because it was so good. My family and I will be going back!!!

Saporito’s Pizzeria is about 14 miles from me i live in Freeport, but the drive was well worth it. This is a true mom-and-pop pizzeria that offers both excellent food and warm, friendly service. The pizza was outstanding—perfect crust, flavorful sauce, and fresh toppings. They also have a good selection of classic Italian favorites beyond just pizza. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the kind of place where you immediately feel at home. Service was quick and attentive, and everything came out hot and fresh. If you’re looking for an authentic, family-run spot with top-quality pizza and Italian food, I highly recommend Saporito’s. I’ll definitely be back!
