Sal's Pizza Bar offers a commendable rendition of New York-style pizza in a market often saturated with mediocre imitations. The establishment's commitment to authenticity is evident from the moment one enters, with an ambiance that efficiently captures the essence of a no-frills New York pizzeria.

The pizza itself is the focal point, as it should be. The crust achieves a delicate balance - thin and crisp, yet with a subtle chewiness that denotes proper fermentation and baking technique. It provides a sturdy foundation for the toppings without succumbing to sogginess, a common pitfall in lesser establishments.

The sauce, crafted from imported San Marzano tomatoes, presents a well-balanced acidity that complements rather than overwhelms. The cheese blend, a combination of mozzarella and aged parmesan, offers the requisite stretch and melt one expects from a quality New York slice.

While the classic cheese pizza serves as an excellent benchmark, the vegetarian options are particularly noteworthy. The white pizza featuring spinach and ricotta demonstrates a thoughtful approach to flavor combination and texture.

Sal's attention to detail extends to the water used in the dough, reportedly sourced from New York City, a touch that while perhaps more psychological than practical, underscores the owner's dedication to recreating an authentic experience.

The generous portion sizes align with New York standards, offering value for money that is increasingly rare in today's dining landscape.

In a field where many claim authenticity, Sal's Pizza Bar stands out as a genuine article. While it may not revolutionize the pizza landscape, it serves its purpose admirably, providing a reliable and satisfying New York pizza experience. For those seeking a taste of the Big Apple without the journey, Sal's is a worthy destination.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I had a large cheese pizza from this establishment. I like how cheesy it was and there was enough sauce on the pizza. The pizza is really good, but it was a little bit doughy for me. I’d give the pizza a 8.5 out of 10. It was about a 10 to 15 minute wait. The pizza was huge and it cost 20 bucks. That’s a fair price. Overall, I was satisfied and I would come back.

First visit today with co-workers for lunch. We all ordered individual slices and I ordered one Chicken Thai Chili slice and one White Pizza slice. These two slices and a bottle of water was under $14. To order, you walk up to the counter of pizzas on display behind glass and give your order, they warm your slice in the oven and call your name when it’s ready. They have a wider menu with full pizzas, sandwiches, appetizers, desserts etc.
I loved the Chicken Thai Chili Pizza slice as it was nice and flavorful and the crust was thin and pretty crisp. I don’t enjoy White Pizza and this one was as I have had in the past, so I won’t order again.
A couple of the employees seemed like they were from the Burroughs of New York City and they definitely added to the charm of this restaurant. The staff is pretty great, friendly and helpful.
There are quite a few tables in the small dining room and there was a steady flow of patrons in and out during our lunch time.
I recommend this place and we will return again.

Sal’s is by FAR The best pizza in Orlando and in Florida and one of the best outside of New York anywhere in the country!! In fact, it stands up at New York level!! I have eaten here multiple times per week since they have opened and one slice is better than the next!! The upside down Sicilian is unbelievable; the Grandma slice, remarkable; the traditional Cheese Absolute perfection!!! Sal is an awesome guy & this place doesn’t fail to impress!!!! Manga!!!

As pizza lovers, my wife and I had to make the trek down to Dr Phillips to try Sal’s…..and we were not disappointed?

The first good sign was that the place was packed with both sit down and take out traffic. We always give newer restaurants a bit more leeway on speed to table of the food as we know it takes a bit to work out the kinks for training staff and balancing the workload - with that said, our food came out in reasonable time and was HOT and FRESH.

I had a pepperoni slice, vodka sauce slice and a side salad - all excellent (my only suggestion would be to use the cupped pepperonis). My wife loved her eggplant slice and calamari. We then decided to split a tiramisu and enjoy 2 espressos - a perfect end to an enjoyable and tasty dining experience.

We will definitely be back again!

Pizza was delicious! Lots of slices to choose from. A bit pricey. $4.99 for a slice of Bianca. Average size. Garlic knots could have been better. Beautiful atmosphere and very friendly staff. Will definitely return!

Best pizza in Orlando, finally!

Had the G-Ma slice the upside down Sicilian, and 2 Vodka slices. Vodk dough is nice and crunchy with good undercarriage. Little flop but it was due to the toppings. Sicilian and G-Ma slice were on point. Fluffy crunchy, saucy. Can't wait to go back.
