PHOENIX — Sauce Pizza and Wine, a Valley-based fast-casual Italian chain, opened its first Tempe location Thursday.
The new restaurant is located at 705 S. Myrtle Ave., in a 2,960-square-foot space at the new Union Tempe mixed-use development near Arizona State University.
“Our new location will provide a fast and easy, yet quality, dining option to students, neighboring businesses, residents, and area visitors,” CEO Scott Kilpatrick said in a press release.
“We envision our new space being used to meet friends for lunch, pick up a couple of pizzas on the way back home or to the dorms, or to enjoy a date night with pasta and wine.”

The Tempe location will be open from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
