Sal's Famous Pizzeria

Dine in at Sal's on Wednesday evening, February 29.  We were a group of 5 friends, all arriving at different times.  The staff was very warm and welcoming, providing a table for us away from the main dining room.

We ordered some wine, and chatted for a while before ordering.  This was our choice, and our server Sarah, was attentive yet not pushy.

First, the wine menu left a lot to be desired.  While we were not looking for fine wines, I was disappointed that there was so little to choose from (by the glass).  

Sarah brought bread, thick sliced, but very airy - like something you would get in the Wonder Bread section of the grocery isle.  I was not a big fan of the dipping oil either. It was orangy in color, and really lacked flavor.  Being an Italian restaurant, I would have expected some herbs or garlic in the oil, something a bit more bold.

We each ordered an entree or salad. I had spinach ravioli with house salad.  The salad was average, but fresh.  The ravioli were massive, 3 on my plate.  It was very tasty, although the red sauce was not as flavorful as I prefer.

Overall, we had an excellent experience. We obviously go out to eat for the food, but the service is equally important to me.  Sarah was great!  She is the reason I would go back, but try the pizza next time.  

I had confusion about the bill.  Our food items were on the bill without sales tax included, but the drinks included tax.  This makes it a bit confusing when trying to figure out the pre-tax total for tipping purposes.  It's not that I am trying to be "cheap", it's just that is how I always base the tip.

I'm a new yorker, I eat pizza like 40 times a month. This is good stuff. The staff is super amazing and I would definitely be back next time I'm in town or rolling through. Keep up the great work guys!!

This was my first time eating at Sal's and it was awesome!  The service was outstanding, you get the feeling the staff loves their job and it shows through in the service they provide.  I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and it was above average.  The salad was fresh and delicious and the bread was amazing.  I will definitely eat here again!
