Saporitos Pizzeria - Lena (IL)

5 /5 Jaime Rivas: 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!

3 /5 Theo Hayden: It’s a decent but authentic Italian restaurant with decent pizza and good spaghetti. The pepperoni pizza has the pepperoni slices underneath the cheese which I’ve never seen before. It’s a small place and it’s usually busy so getting a seat can be tricky. The other problem with place itself is that the kitchen has no walls so all the smoke from the kitchen circles around in the dining area which is annoying. The other problem is that you can’t get a small pizza or a single slice so I wouldn’t recommend eating here by yourself (unless you can finish a whole big pizza by yourself) overall it’s decent but there are better places to go to in Lena. But the breadsticks are super good.

5 /5 Eric Wellman: Best Pies in the area!! Anytime we order from here, we usually always order the Junk pizza. BUT, you absolutely have to try their specialty pizzas as well! The spaghetti and meatball pizza is amazing...all the way through to every specialty they offer! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

5 /5 Ralph Lucas: We eat here on a regular basis. The pizzas are great.the wings are awsome. The homemade dipping sauces cant be beat, especially the blue cheese so thick and creamy its absolutely the best. We ordered the lasagna for our Christmas dinner this year and in my personal opinion it was the best lasagna I have ever had. I would definitely recommend..

5 /5 C. C.: Best pizza in town for sure!!!!! I miss my Chicago pizza and we thought lets try this place out since theres 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 didnt 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 couldnt 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. Theres not enough seating areas so Id 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!! Its 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 couldnt 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 Im so glad I got it because it was so good. My family and I will be going back!!!
