Saljo's Pizza

Great service. Excellent pizza!! Hard to describe in words how good it is...just give it a try and you'll be pleased.

My parents and Grandma have been eating here for years and somehow I'm just now getting here. I grew up coming to this building when it was Cici's Pizza. 3 star review is mostly due to the less than ideal service we received and the tattered decor. Food was good). I'd describe the interior as Sal's man cave. I don't know him but surely this mix of items are things he loves. I appreciate the honor and respect for our Service men & women. There is plenty of seating - tables, booths & at the bar. The booths are in need of repair (tattered). Tucked in the corner by one of the larger tables appears to be their open broom closet. There was one guy running the entire floor when we went. It was half full with a few larger parties. He looked like he could have used some help. He was moving fast but was also a brash a few times and not so welcoming which was not a good experience for a new customer. The complimentary bread was a little hard and not good. The salads were good. My parents love their lasagna & eggplant parmigiana. My husband and I really enjoyed our pizza. It's a little pricey but worth it. The crust, toppings, & size were way better than you can get from a chain.

Generally good pizza, that's all I get here.This night I ordered a Saljo's special half of it hold the pepperoni. Did I verify before I left? Of course not!Was the order correct? Hell no. I got half special and half PEPPERONI and the privilege of paying for a full special.Maybe I will learn, trust but verify.Look before leaving as compitentcy seems to be a White Buffalo these days. I work a lot and eat take out quite a bit.It's a 50/50 on whether orders are correct.It's a sad state of affairs.

There were 2 good things about this place for me. One is that they sell pizza by the slice. Secondly, it's thin crust. That's all I have on a positive note. I ordered a slice topped with beef, mushroom and black olives. Apparently if you want pizza sauce you have to specifically say that. And I'm still questioning if it's actual cheese used on their pizza. It's probably one molecule away from being plastic. My slice was bland,floppy and disappointing. I'm pretty sure I will never go here again in my life.

A good friend of mine, a second generation Italian American who grew up in New York City, told me one day "I just had the best Stromboli of my life." When Italian New Yorker buddy says that, it's time to try some Stromboli. And man, was he right!Saljo worked in the kitchen of Tony's Pizza on Arkansas and Davis in Arlington until Tony sold the restaurant to him. Saljo moved to a more spacious location on Park Row and has carried on the tradition of great food and homey service in the larger space with better parking ever since. Advertised as "New York Style", Saljo's feels like a local place. I wouldn't call it Divey. It has a lived-in feel, with vinyl booths and tables, and memorabilia and framed pictures that might be hung in some family member's house. I've seen the same servers here for over a decade and the clientele seem to all be on first name basis with each other. The complimentary bread is a little hard for my preference, but I can't not order the Stromboli. It's a deluxe pizza inside a garlic butter covered, oven-baked pastry. The marinara is especially balanced and savory. A curiously small amount comes with the dish in a little cup, so I always ask for two. I'm a fairly big eater and the Stromboli is enough for me.As for other menu items, I've tried Baked Ziti, Shrimp Linguine, Fettuccine Alfredo, the basics. All were delicious. Everyone should come here!

I have never actually been here, but have had the pizza several times. I work in the area and it is a favorite lunchtime spot. The pizzas are fresh and delicious. For me, it is all about the crust. And they do it right. It is chewy with a slight crisp and holds up under the toppings. They don't skimp on the toppings and the sauce isn't sweet. I can't stand sugar in tomato sauces. It is tucked back in a shopping center on Park Row, but is definitely worth searching out.

Terrible service from old bartender woman. Refused to acknowledge you, and when you see her looking at you, she quickly looks away. Manager shrugged it off. I left and will continue to shrug off this entire place as an option. Prices went way high and looking at the portions a person had was pathetic. Eat elsewhere.

HORRIBLE!!! Food had no flavor! I had baked ziti with meat sauce and meatballs. Absolutely horrible! Guy even took bread out a container and put it in the bag. Yes the white plastic bag they put my order in with cut COLD bread. No baggie or plastic wrap! ‍What kinda of Italian place is this. So bad I can't eat it! I WONT BE BACk!

Enjoyed dinner with a group of 5 friends on a Tuesday evening. Food was delicious. I didn't get pictures either the fettuccine Alfredo,or Mama's crustless pizza, which is all the toppings from a supreme pizza, minus the crust. Lots of cheese on it, looked really good. We will be back!

Great pizza and the atmosphere is really cool. Absolutely feels like a homey place where you are welcomed. The people here are very nice and make you feel right at home. The pizza is delicious too. I intend to try everything on the menu eventually.
