Reviews Summary

"Had this place saved and stopped by since I was in the area. So glad I did! I wanted to try so much more but this time I ordered fried zucchini, calamari, and once slice of pepperoni pizza. So packed with flavor, and delicious down to every last bite. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu!"

"I recently dined at Sal's Pizza and had an overall enjoyable experience. The pizza was good—though perhaps not quite to the level of the hype my friend had built up. Nevertheless, the flavors were solid, and everything we tried was cooked to perfection.
The restaurant clearly has a strong and loyal customer base, as the place was packed. We waited 35 minutes for a table, so I highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation to avoid a long wait.
Our server, Robert, was exceptional. Despite the busyness of the restaurant, he provided attentive and friendly service, which really elevated the experience.
Aside from the pizza, I tried the mussels in vin blanc sauce, and they were cooked perfectly with a delicious, well-balanced flavor.
If you're looking for a lively spot with good food and excellent service, Sal's Pizza is worth a visit—just be sure to plan ahead!"

"Sal's is great. Me and my wife didn't like it at first cuz the pizza was a little dry under from the heat lamp but they redeem themselves the last couple times we ate My daughter loves the garlic knot. and the pizza's on point. I definitely recommend you guys to eat there at least once. You won't be disappointed!"
