Red’s Savoy Pizza

They quoted me a time of 50 minutes for one pizza. It was 4 30 P.M. on a Sunday. For PICK-​UP, not delivery. What a joke. I have never heard anything so insane. Needless to say, I didn’t order nor will I try again.

What a travesty. I don’t know if I blame the franchisee or Red himself for letting them ruin his good name. A little of both maybe. This was not even reminiscent of the Original Red’s Savoy Pizza. Sauce was different. Cheese was different. Crust was different. Sausage and Pepp were different. If you’re gonna change something, at least try to make it better or on par with the original. This was not. It was a mediocre to ok pizza, but compared to the original, it was terrible. The amount of toppings and cheese was laughable. Maybe I’m wrong expecting it to be the same, but if the name on the sign says Red’s Savoy Pizza, that’s what I expect. Otherwise, change it to «Kinda Ok Pizza Joint».
I would never order here again, it’s worth the extra 15 minutes to go downtown. If you’re looking for much better pizza in the area, try the Pizza Man across the 694 bridge.

Not quite as good as the original in St Paul but still the best sausage pizza youll find around town… There is not really an option to dine in at this location though.

I’m in town on business and a colleague perked up when they saw a Red Savoy Pizza across from the hotel. Thought I’d try it… Yikes. Prefabricated crust? While the sauce did have some zip to it, that crust comes through in every bite and it’s like you’re eating a frozen pizza. The price is right, I suppose, for what you get and the staff is relatively friendly. I tried a dessert pizza and THAT was quite tasty, even on the same prefab crust. Just disappointed that I could have gotten a more «homemade» pizza from a national chain. Would not buy again, except for dessert.

Ever since the new owner took over this place has stepped up its game. The pizza is sooooo good. The sauce is spicy with a kick. Awesome sausage and other toppings. They are always friendly when you call. Nice amount of cheese on the pizza. Some of the best you can get in town. Yummy!

Ordered some pizza while in town… Delivered right to the door… Great pizza, but some thought it was spicy… I enjoyed it. Plenty of toppings and not over greasy.

The best pizza in the Twin Cities. The sauce is flavorful and robust. The sausage is phenomenal. Nothing else to say that hasn’t been said.

The service and food is second to none since new ownership has taken over. I eat there every Friday night and it is delicious!

nothing like Savoy on White Bear Ave. when i picked up the large special with the works i thought they gave me an empty box. the pizza had a strange taste of broccoli though there was none it. i think it had 3 pieces of sausage and the pepperoni was no where to be found either. cheese was so sparse a fourth of the pizza was red sauce only. not worth 20 bucks. I’ll drive the extra miles to the east side before i buy from this place again. wb piles on the ingredients vadnais heights chintzes. second time here and now i remember why i avoided it.

that’s a deliciouso pizza pie!

Decent, but not great.
While Savoy-​like, with lots of cheese and sauce, the similarities end there. The sausage was surprisingly bland (where’s the fennel and garlic, guys?) and the all-​important grease factor was nowhere to be found. It just lacked flavor, except for…
The sauce: One thing I love about the original Savoy is that their sauce is decidedly NOT geared toward kids (how refreshing) due to its ample spices and generous tomato paste to sauce ratio. Unfortunately, this location misses the mark; there is actually too much tomato paste in the sauce, to the point where it had an acrid flavor that quickly became unpleasant to me. On top of that, there were little if any other flavors… it just tastes like plain, tart tomato paste with a dab of sauce thrown in to make it spreadable.
The crust was similar to the original, which is to say that it’s decent and gets the job done. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. Certainly not a bad pizza, but I’ll keep looking.

Good thin crust pizza with quality ingredients. Try the homemade sausage, for sure. The cheese is plentiful and stringy. Why anyone would order Pizza Hut or Domino’s with this place in your neighborhood is beyond me.
Delivery is fairly quick and pleasant.

Pretty decent pizza, stringy cheese, pieces cut in squares for maximum cheesy realization. They made me a custom gyro pizza with gyro meat onions tzaziki sauce for dipping.

We just moved into the area and needed some pizza to thank our helpers for carrying all the heavy stuff we own. I grew up eating Savoy on W. 7^th and figured I’d give this a shot. I knew it couldn’t be as good, but I hoped it’d be decent.
I was pleasantly surprised! While not quite the original, it was a pretty good representation and we devoured the whole thing. It’s close enough that when I need some Savoy I won’t have to drive downtown any longer.
$ 16+ for a large pizza with 1.5 toppings (my SIL doesn’t eat green olives, whatever). The person on the phone assured me that by ordering one large instead of 2 medium, I’d get the same amount of pizza but spend less so I went for it though I was skeptical. Well, I wouldn’ t say it was the same amount of pizza and 4 of us ate it all and probably could have eaten a little more. Oh well, lesson learned.
