I am super picky about my pizza so I do want to make sure for all the disappointment I’ve had I must say when things are good cause you know I will if there bad. Sarpinos pizza on Blanchard is highly recommendable! They make a super good pizza, not one of those pizzas where you can see through the toppings. Cheese right to the crust and not two inches away. Good flavour and great sauce and good cheese used, it’s literally one of the top three in Victoria. I do have a couple good places id recommend but this is very possibly the best. Koodos to you guys Sarpinos! Well done!

I really enjoyed this pizza. I am visiting from out of town and I tried Serena's pizza yesterday, but I very much prefer Sarpino's. Sarpino's is traditional pizza made with dough, whereas Serena's is made on focaccia bread. Aside from dough pizza being superior, I just liked the overall taste of Sarpino's too. A great crunch and flavourful pepperoni. The right amount of sauce and cheese. The perfect level of oil. Also, their home made garlic sauce is amazing! Really added that extra touch. I'll be back here again next time I am in town, without a doubt. One small criticism is that the slices are small.

Although, a very small place with just a couple of tables for dining in, the experience was fantastic. The pizza was absolutely delicious, featuring a perfectly cooked crust that had just the right amount of crispiness. The toppings were fresh and flavorful, making each bite a delight. If you're in the mood for some great pizza, this is definitely the spot to check out!

I ordered a calzone online for pickup and it was fresh, delicious, and ready within the expected timeframe. An absolutely classic pizzeria interior made you feel like you were about to get an awesome pizza experience, and that was no lie! Killer marinara too, I just wish I had ordered even more of it - I could eat a litre of it at a time it was so good. I can see Sarpino's becoming a regular go-to for me when I'm craving a calzone, especially with the undeniably good price!

On a recent trip to Victoria got a couple of pizzas form here that I picked up and brought home for me and the kids to enjoy. The pizza was pretty good and the kids enjoyed it. Pricing was pretty good, a bit higher than expected. The location is pretty sketchy, lots of 'interesting' people around. Had no luck finding parking as its downtown Victoria.

Came here a couple of weeks ago while visiting Victoria based on reviews as we were looking for a place that offered vegan pizza options. Sarpino's fit the bill! We ordered two of the large pizzas and they were delicious although we didn't read the menu in enough detail to realize the ones we ordered didn't have tomato sauce on them...still delicious. The staff was so nice...even suggested we put two tables together so that we had space for both pizzas to be able to dine in.

Vegetarian options: My boyfriend went in search for a late night new years day vegan dinner and asked sarpinos if they could make us a vegan pizza. They had vegan pepperoni and cheese. We asked for it fully loaded with veggies, and they did not disappoint. This is our new go to vegan pizza spot ! Super stoked.

From the charming little shop to the delicious mouth watering smell of carrying it to my car and the savoring of my very first bite, I loved the whole experience of trying their pizza for the first time. Im a big pizza fan and this one deserves a place up there, the ingredients were of quality and generous, everything from the smell to the taste spoke of quality, price was very decent and the sauce was delicious (a little bit more on the sweet than the salty side for those who might prefer this). I recommend.

The difference between this location and their Esquimalt location are night and day. This location has amazingly friendly staff and the food here is edible. If you re reading this from the Esquimalt area, definitely make the extra 5-10minute drive to come to this location instead - it is so insanely better. This location has repaired my awful brand-experience I always had from their Esquimalt location and I will definitely be back more often.

We ordered take out from a long day of traveling and touring Victoria. Craving a good pizza, wings and Cheese Sticks. Pizza was ok. Wings were meh, not worth the money honestly as they werent even salted and peeppered like advertised if no sauce was picked, finally the cheese Bread sticks were unedible. They were way too crunchy, barely any cheese and didnt even taste like there was garlic butter on them. We try and support local but to have so many meh moments was not appealing to our appetites. More than half of it went into the garbage

Ordered double mushroom pizza - could not taste the mushrooms! Mushrooms were sliced so thin, I mean paper thin and quantity was very low. Shameless saving on toppings is evident. I felt cheated. Taste of crust, cheese, sauce is just OK

I live downtown and this is my go to for a pizza that is really fresh and generous toppings. Kind of stumbled over it on my walk home from doing some errands downtown and thought hey what the heck I ll try it It s now my favourite pizza place and I rarely go anywhere else. I did have a one time order through Sarpinos Esquimalt and got exactly the same pizza plus mushrooms and ordered the Halifax Donair sauce and it was nothing compared to the downtown location where they make that Donair sauce so garlicky and tasty that you ll need mouthwash! But I love it and my kids (who are adults) Love it too and steal my sauce if I buy any extras lol. I did have a bump where there was an issue but I talked to Barry and he put my mind at ease that it was a one off and so I ve started ordering from them again

Gluten free pizza crust!! We tried Sarpinos pizza when we were in Parksville as most of my family is gluten free and dairy free we were very happy to find that they had gluten free pizza, as well as vegan cheese. We ordered from the downtown Victoria location on Friday Sept 29/23 I had a bit of trouble with ordering online as they said they were closed but according to their website and Google they were actually open (I would suggest adding what time online ordering is available) I seemed to figure out it was 4:00pm. Once I managed to order I simply went and picked up the pizzas, the staff were friendly and the shop was small but well organized. I will definitely be ordering from here again, thank you! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Dairy free

Some very good pizza as far as I remember, but the delivery system is set up so you have to buy more than one large gourmet pizza to qualify for delivery. Sometimes one pizza is exactly what Im looking for, but the cut-off is set to ONE PENNY more than the price. Go ahead and charge me a fee for delivery if you have to, but the 1 penny rejection is insulting. Im going to have to get pizza from somewhere else tonight.

I haven t had a good pizza like this in a while! I really enjoyed my order and people were very nice in there! I informed the person at the counter, that I like spicy pizza and if he had any recommendations. He offered suggestions to customize my pizza with tandoori chicken and even offered me a sample of the pizza sauce to see if I like the spicyness. Very kind and thoughtful of him! My pizza was delicious thanks to him! Will defiantly be a regular here.

I was visiting Victoria and was just wanted a night in. Pizza is always a good option. I WISH this kind of pizza was available in my neighbourhood. Lots of toppings here means soggy crust, or to get crisp crust you get minimal toppings. At Sarpinos YOU GET BOTH! I ordered online, the pizza was ready when they said it was going to be ready. Overall, great experience.

I ordered for pickup and I highly recommend this over phoning as a discount is applied. My pizza was created by two middle aged men, clean cut, looked like they knew exactly what they were doing. Cleanly, timely, efficient. I get home and take a bite and immediately I feel this amazing crust right before I taste these toppings that almost taste like they were sauteed together. There was a marriage that stood out between the ingredients. The other thing that stood out was the crust. Literally theres a crisp dusting on the outside and then its right into texture baby, like Philo pastry tasty texture. Havent had crust and dough quite like this before. Really consistently good.

Ordered from the downtown location tonight for the first time, based on all the positive reviews. One pizza (Euro Veggie) was very good. Nice thin crust and lots of toppings. The other (Pesto Veggie) had a lot of charred, burnt toppings. Had to pick those off (maybe sun-dried tomatoes? hard to tell) before proceeding. That one was not good. Staff was friendly and the discount for second pizza was a nice touch. But not as good of a pizza experience overall as it should have been.
