What People Are Saying About Sal & Carmine's Pizza
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – Raised in Italy, Sal and Carmine have been in the pizza business forever. They know their product is among the best, and they don't have to gussy it up by smiling at the customers, letting it suffer through delivery, or any of that nonsense. There are a few tables in the back, where pizza connoisseurs can be seen huddled over their pies. – – The Food – This is the pinnacle of the classic Neapolitan-American slice. It's worth the trip uptown, without question, just for the plain pizza. There's nothing out of the ordinary, just the most excellent, fresh…

I love these guys

I've been eating thier pizza since the 70s when they were simply Sal's Pizza next to the old Symphony Space on 96th Street.
When they moved over 20 years ago we all feared that this great example of New York pizza would be lost.
But not so...they are still as wonderful and at 47 I love eating thier pizza as much as I did when I was 12.
- Pros: Best Pizza in New York
- Cons: None

Best slice in the city! (or at least on the west side.)

I live just around the corner from this joint, and every time I want some pizza, this place comes first. there is another place down the road called "cheesey pizza" and it lives up to its name. it WAY too cheesey for my taste, but at Sal and Carmine's, its always perfect! It mite a little salty but thats only noticeable to a few people. so if your uptown and craving a good slice, then go to Sal and Carmine's!
- Pros: Great pizza, good selection of toppings
- Cons: a on the salty side

Not worth the $$$ anymore

Hi All,
So I live in the neighborhood and had heard about this place and did my research in advance by reading the reviews here on Citysearch (no, I don't work for Citysearch and they didn't pay me to say any of this). As I often passed this place going to and from the gym it was not big deal to stop and give it a try. I would agree with others who say it is NOT a place to rave about but you can get a decent slice (or two) to eat in or for on the go; not delivering is a bad business move on their part IMHO.
Stopped in for about the fourth time in the year and half I've now lived in NY and saw that inflation had affected their prices as well. Plain slices are now $3.00 and at that price this place is officially NOT worth the trip. Their plain cheese slice is not large enough nor delicious enough when NY is crowded with pizza joints. Long story short: if you're really hungry and just can't wait, fine, cough up the $3.00 but if you can wait your money is better spent elsewhere.
- Pros: It's decent pizza if you live in the neighborhood
- Cons: Prices have risen to $3 per slice, a mediocre slice
The Details on Sal & Carmine's Pizza
The Extras:
Unlike most (if not closer to all) pizza parlors, Sal and Carmine's obstinately refuses to deliver. You can pick up a pie or a slice to go, but really it's best eaten fresh on the spot.
