I love these guys

by disgustedtnt

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
