Sal-Cal Pizza - LaBelle, Florida

Don Randino

I recently tried this location and was left a bit dissatisfied and disappointed. The pizza was probably one of the worst I’ve had. When I picked up the first slice all the cheese and toppings slid right off. The marinara was so watery it made the pizza doe soggy. Needless to say I did not finish the pizza. Thankfully i ordered the mini pizza so I only wasted $7 bucks. The chicken wings were ok kinda hard to mess those up. The garlic cheese bread was a slice of bread with cheese and garlic nothing to rave about.

Service was good. The staff was friendly the food didn’t take too long to come out maybe 15-20 min. The location is an older establishment which gives you that hole in the wall feeling which are normally great spots to eat.

Unfortunately this place fell short on the number 1 thing that should be great in their location the pizza

Maybe we went to this place on an off night but we most likely will not be returning.
Strike number one...We sat in the pool room because the seats had nicer cushions on them and being senior citizens we appreciated the softer seats. It was also much warmer in the pool room. There were three girls in there and they decided to play the jukebox which is not a problem as we like music. One of the girls decided to pull the jukebox away from the wall and crank the music up very loud. When our server came to our table, she didn't bring menus, but asked us what we would like to drink. We asked if she could turn volume back down on the jukebox as it was extremely loud. She turned it back down and no sooner had she left the room, the girls cranked it up very high again.
When our server brought our drinks she then asked if we needed menus to which we replied, yes. A moment later our server brought the menus. My husband and I could not even talk across the table because the jukebox was so loud so that's when we got up to move to the other side. The bench seats were hard and uncomfortable and it was a lot colder in the front room. We debated leaving. Non the less, we went ahead and ordered a pizza because we were so hungry.
When our pizza was served the bottom was scorched. We had driven 25 minutes to get to the restaurant and waited another 35 minutes for our pizza. We were both very hungry so we ate some. I scraped the toppings off of one piece and ate the toppings only. My husband, bless his heart, didn't mind the scorched Pizza. I couldn't eat it. We had ordered an extra large in anticipation of having leftovers to warm up. But there's no way in the world you can warm up a scorched Pizza without making it worse. When the server came back by the asked how everything was I showed her the bottom of the pizza and she just made an excuse if they have to use the bottom oven tonight. STRIKE TWO! I guess she thought that was supposed to excuse them serving scorched Pizza to customers? I only had a little bit of iced tea left and so she took my cup to fill it up. She didn't put any more tea in it! She filled it up with ice only, to the point that I can barely get my straw down through it. I didn't understand that at all. STRIKE 3!!
When she brought the bill she did say that she took half off the price of the pizza since it was scorched.
Such a disappointment! It's just very poorly ran. Our server was very friendly but customer service was horrible.

I tried to go out for a birthday dinner at a couple of other restaurants, but they all ended up closed despite me checking their hours on google. I was right by Sal Cal so decided to go by. They were about to close and weren't going to take more orders, but the manager was kind enough to let me put in the last minute order. The pizza was delicious and the staff was so kind to squeeze me in. Best pizza in LaBelle, and the staff seems so kind. I'll definitely be back!!

Small place that gives a fun atmosphere. Prices are amazing, the portions are huge and honestly one of the best calzones I’ve ever had! Don’t be in a hurry though. They are a smaller staff and busy. Good service but not fast.

Oh my Lanta, such good pizza. Giant Toasted sub sandwiches. Amazing calzones. Bacon cheese fries are always a good go to. Fried pickles, yummmmm. I hadn't tried this place until today and everything was amazing! The food, was tasty. The service was impeccable, the gals are so nice, and even during a lunch rush they had a big smile on their faces. The atmosphere screamed locals spot, and travelers welcome. Love everything about this place.

Sal-Cal is likely the only real hometown pizza establishment to be found in LaBelle, but it is just one of the five or six different options for pizza in a town whose restaurant options are basically pizza, fast food, quick-serve Chinese, or taqueria.

Prices run a bit high, and they don't run deals to compete with the chains they compete with, but they don't really need to. Their quality is generally solid, and they brag about the freshness of their toppings and dough for good reason, although whether that is grounds for declaring superiority is questionable because the majority use ingredients that are likely just as fresh.

In the end, their taste is decidedly their own. They go for balance of toppings rather than overwhelming quantity. They stand on their quality for their prices unapologetically.

Their garlic rolls are a sure bet, and their pizzas have a dough with a very clean flavor and chewy texture. You'll only find hand-tossed, but they do it well. They also offer a variety of pasta and oven-baked sandwiches.

The restaurant doesn't really stand on appearances. It looks sort of dated externally and internally, but that's part of its charm. It's the old town pizzeria standing its ground against bigger competitors with deeper pocketbooks.

For the money, they might not be the best deal for your dollar, but for quality pizzeria food in LaBelle, they're probably your best bet.
