Since I stopped eatin' pork over 25yrs ago there were some things I thought I would never get to taste again... a bacon double cheese burger bein' one of them and pepperoni & sausage pizza bein' amongst the others. Well a couple years ago I found out that Sal's doesn't serve any pork at all... so to me that fact that I can eat (beef) peperoni's & (beef) sausage on a pizza again is tremendous... and is another one of those comfort foods for me just like a good cheesesteak. That bein' said, they also have the NY/Philly style big slice, flat, crusty dough that I like. But with that, it has to be cooked just right because I had 1 pie from there that was slightly over done, and it made the cheese rubbery n the crust hard. Other than that... Sal's gets 2 thumbs up for me on the strength of no pork alone. I had a slice of pep and a slice of pep&sausage the other night before I ate a cheesesteak. I was goin' thru somethin' that day... don't judge me! Plus they're open on Christmas & Christmas Eve., when the whole city is shut down. Saved us from starvin' a couple times, yo!
Im only a visitor but im from Brooklyn ny and I think that sals is even better than a lot of the places back home, rock on sals and thanks for the food.
Sal and Antonio are great guys. Eating here is like taking a little vacation to NYC. The pizza is authentic. I stayed in a crappy hotel in NYC and got a slice at the pizzeria across the street and it wasn't quite as good as the pizza at Sal's. I am an urban professional in my thirties and I love to have a couple of beers at Dee's a couple of doors down and then grab a slice at Sal's and watch the drunks. The employees are just as entertaining as the clientele. I also grab a couple of Jamaican Beef Patties to go. My kids love them as an extra special breakfast treat. They are spicy and delicious. STRONGLY recommend this establishment to anyone hungry for authentic NY style pizza by the slice or by the pie. Draw on a paper plate and have your artwork displayed on their wall alongside an autographed photo of your favorite Steeler or a local girl posing with Sal himself!
