“ We stopped by Sapporo Pizzeria tonight, and wow—what a fantastic experience! The pizza was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and perfect crust. Great food all around, paired with a welcoming environment and top-notch service from the staff. The place is spotlessly clean, which made the whole visit even better. Highly recommend this gem to anyone craving authentic pizza! We'll definitely be back. ”
“ This spot is one of our favorite places for great food! The pizza flavors are amazing. The Sophia Lauren is my favorite even made vegetarian style. Yeah, they managed to make it for me vegetarian style and it was perfect! The sandwiches are loaded with meat and flavor. They have frozen take and bake items, a wall of Italian pastas, sauces, cookies, oil and dressings. ”
“ I was so excited to see wood fired pizza available here; delicious! The staff was very attentive and nice; my pizza was done in about 10 minutes even though they were a little busy. The market brings back so many memories of our time living in Sardinia and Sicily. I am going to have to try the gelato before I leave. If you want to try something different from the normal places, give them a try! ”
“ We have eaten at Sapori several times now and each time was better than the last. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff and always so polite and friendly. I moved here to Springfield from Philadelphia and have been missing good east coast pizza, but I have now found it here. Their dessert options are also amazing, and truly make me feel at home. I highly recommend giving this place a try, you will not be disappointed. ”
“ We had tried to come once before but it was packed out so figured it must be good and put on list to try again. Visited 8.11.25 about 2:15 pm...good choice because only 2 other tables were occupied. We decided on a pizza and then the guy who was helping us (didn't get his name ) laid out crust options and gave us a recommendation for the specific pizza we had chosen, which we went with. We chose our seat and while we we waiting, the guy brought us a plate of house salad and a giant meatball because we were new to the place and he wanted to give us a lil' sampling and top notch service! We hadn't even tried the food yet, but extra sweet touches like that almost guarantee our loyalty over whether the food is good or not! But, rest assured, the food was great (house salad with a house made vinaigrette that I could drink with a straw, meatball was the. perfect. texture! pizza was the Sophia Loren with a NJ tavern style crust! Will def be back! (bonus, the atmosphere was great...there were 2 tables next to us occupied by others lunching and the bond of good looking food had us all talking to each other and in some cases, sharing samples!) Was too full for any dessert so will have to try that next! Love experiences like this! ”
“ This is the first time taking my mom and daughter to Sapori. Everyone was friendly and helped us through the ordering process. It was a busy Sunday night, but our food came out quickly and was delicious. We all ordered our own personalized slice of pizza and had a side of garlic bread. We look forward to returning soon. ”
“ Cute place! Great service. FANTASTIC chopped salad. The New Jersey Sophia Loren is amazing. Love the Italian groceries area. ”
“ I’ve been several times now, trying different menu items each time, and I’m always wowed. Their food is so good, and offering four different EXCELLENT crust options is impressive. Their gluten free pizza and chopped salad are both the best I’ve ever had. It’s nice to see a small business in Springfield have a steady flow of dine-in and pickup customers. They seem to be doing really well. Honorable mention: dessert selection of homemade cakes, cannolis, cookies, and gelato in the freezer ”
