Reviews
Order Timeline
• Placed an order at 5:45 PM on 12/18/25 for two medium specialty pizzas.
• Delivery ETA was 6:33 PM.
• By 7:15 PM, the order was already 40+ minutes late.
• First call: gave order number, but the representative said he couldn’t check because he wasn’t near the kitchen.
• Waited another 30 minutes—still no pizza.
• Called again to cancel after 2+ hours, but was told “the app is delayed” and the pizza would arrive in 10 minutes.
Customer Service Experience
• Made five calls over 2.5 hours with no clear answers.
• Finally spoke with the manager, whose response was even more frustrating.
• Instead of accountability, we received vague apologies and excuses.
• Multiple employees and even the driver were asked to call and apologize—yet the actual issue remained unresolved.
Refund Issue
• Requested a refund to our credit card for the $26 total (including tip).
• Manager refused, offering only store credit or a free pizza.
• After such a negative experience, why would we want credit to return here?
Overall Impression
This location consistently fails to deliver on time and refuses to take responsibility. Based on other reviews, this seems to be a pattern of behavior. Customers are misled with false delivery times, strung along with phone excuses, and denied proper refunds.
Sarpino’s Riverwoods is operating in a market where accountability matters. Instead of playing games, management should simply admit mistakes and issue refunds. Until then, this store is a prime example of how not to run a pizza chain.
Wait an hour and a half and I call to see where it is, it is out for delivery.
The delivery driver calls and cannot speak English so he asks me to send the address to his cell. Which makes no sense as it was in the order.
I worked as a delivery driver for 5 years, this was not how an exchange should have been done.
I end up sending him a shared location from Google maps for him to deliver the food.
The moment he arrived he gave me the pizza which was warm. He then handed the pops I purchased to me and pulled them away, and pointed to his phone to leave a tip. He would not give me my pops until I left him a tip which he visibly watched me enter.
I called the store and the woman answering stated they will let the manager know and they will contact me.
I am requesting a full refund and if I do not hear anything I’m having my bank deal with it.
As this was delivery, atmosphere is neutral
Food & Service 1 star
If you want to eat here go inside and get it but honestly this pizza looks like dominoes/papa johns.
Update: removed redundancy, will update if I need to call the store back.
Update 2: have not heard back from store, called back to be sent to another line. Left a message, getting closer to having my bank deal with it.
Update 3: I am now going to go through the refund process through my bank. I will never be giving this place another chance.
Then I ordered from the lunch menu, 8″ with 3 toppings and 20 Oz drink. I choose black olives, mushrooms and pepperoni. There was a very long list to choose from so you should be able to build just what you want. I choose water to drink. I went to enter a credit card to pay for the order. I use a password manager that keeps payment options. Helps prevent typos. The app would not let me auto fill or paste. Had to double check to avoid any typos.
Went to add the 10% off code. It was rejected because I already had a ‘special. Lunch special.
Order was ready when I arrived, but not bagged. Clerk got my pizza and took a water out of the cooler and gave them to me. Tasted great. But I found a pepper under my pizza. Kind of wonder how it got there.
if she does not like her job she should not be working for Sarpino’s. and my recommendation is to talk to her regarding the issue on asking the costumers not to order from here.
