Amazing pizza, not such good service.

I have always loved savoy's. it's by far my favorite pizza. My fiance had never been so we went out to eat there, we were initially told it would be a 45 min. wait for the pizza, which was fine because it was mother's day and busy. Our waitress took our drink and appetizers orders, it took 15 min. for our drinks to reach our table, a half an hour for our appetizers and an hour and a half for our pizza. our waitress wasn't checking on us, we could see her just inside the kitchen stuffing her face while we waited for our food(I was also pregnant at the time), i had to stop her for a drink refill. I have worked in many restaurants, and know how tipping goes, We didn't tip her too well, than we realized she was okay with that, because she took the HIGHEST amount of recommended gratuity out of our change. I love savoy's too much to not eat there, but i am never dining in again.

• Pros: love the spicy sauce and pizza
• Cons: staff and wait times.

HORRIBLE experience!

by plf115 at Citysearch

I recently dined in at the downtown St. Paul Savoy location to celebrate a friend's birthday. Being short on time, we looked online and called in our order. The food came quickly, but my hamburger literally had a pool of grease sitting on it when it came to me. The food was good, but our waitress never came back to the table to check on us until she gave us our check. When the check came, the prices in the store did not reflect the online prices, and when we questioned it (I pulled up the menu on my blackberry) they refused to even discuss the manner. The manager first claimed that they did not even have a website, which they clearly do and I was holding it in my hand on my blackberry so all she needed to do was look. She wouldn't even look, basically told me I was cheap for even having the nerve to tell her that the prices she was trying to charge me were not the prices stated in the online menu, and she ended up throwning a doller of her tip money at me and walking away, then very loudly complaining to everyone at the bar about our table. In addition to this horrible experience, this restaurant fired all of their union workers, and refuses to hire more because they do not want to pay people a fair wage. I'm certainly never going back. There are several other places in town where you can get good pizza!

• Pros: good pizza
• Cons: rude staff, poor service, hard to see
