So let me be honest.... the only reason we even went here to begin with is because of the replies to the negative reviews lol. Seemed like he did his research and cared what the actual guest thought. We ordered pizza, pasta and wings. All 3 were really good. The pizza is the best in Dallas/Gastonia for sure! The delivery was much faster than others. We even sent our friends there!

My family and I just moved to the area and we are trying to find our "pizza spot." Customer service was great but our pizza was burnt! I'm in the restaurant business....mistakes happen. But don't serve customers something you wouldn't eat.

I've been back three times since my original review. This is the best pizza in the area hands down. Its one of these that is great when the order is fresh but seems to have even more flavor the next day as leftovers. I can't say enough good things about this pizza. Freaking fantastic.

Been there a couple times before. Pizza quality has always been good. Went this past Friday and toppings were scarse. Disappointed. Will try other places before going back.

Ben Wyatt would love the calzones here... literally Also the cheesy bread is awesome But the calzones were really really good.

Nooooooooo. This is the old Sal's and the food has taken such a turn. The food is probably mediocre, but what is horrible is that the employees take turns sitting right outside the OPEN door smoking. I couldn't get over being choked by cigarette smoke long enough to give the food a fair chance but we will NOT be back.

Fantastic pizza. That's coming from a pizza snob from NY too. Will be trying more often.

Came in for lunch after working for 12 hours since my last meal. Got the very affordable lunch special and it was by far the best pizza I have had in months. And I'm not sure if the staff were owner/operators or employees but they were incredibly friendly.
I had never been before and based off the Yelp reviews wanted to try it. I had envisioned a small Italian style restaurant where we (wife, daughter & myself) could sit down and have pizza - that is definitely not the case, there is very little seating and it's an extremely cramped lobby. Plan on taking your items to go. That small disappointment aside the pizza was very good. We ordered a small cheese and a large margherita pizza with garlic knots. As people have said previously the crust is simply outstanding they have a good sauce for the cheese/classic pizzas and the ingredients were dispersed well on the margherita pizza. It's so good that I'm looking forward to trying other items on the menu even though it's not very close at all to my home. If you like thin crust pizza (whether or not you believe it is truly NY style) you won't be disappointed in giving this place a try.

My husband and I were wanting to try someplace new for lunch today so we headed to Sal's. We're SO glad we did! The pizza by the slice is a great deal and the garlic knots were absolutely mouth-watering! We were greeted cheerfully and the employees were so friendly and helpful. The food came out in good time and piping hot. It's difficult to find pizza that has a crispy yet perfectly chewy crust (in a really good way) and it was heaven from first bite! The garlic knots were delicious and were gone before we knew it... ooops! It's a tiny place but that's definitely part of its charm and was very clean. This was our first time here but we will definitely be back. It's worth the 35 minute drive from Shelby.

My grandmother lived in California for 40+ years and said "This is the best pizza I've had since I've moved here" which was 12 years ago. I definitely give it two thumbs up (if I had more thumbs, they would be up as well)! We got the House Special in medium and it was absolutely delicious. Lots of toppings and different flavors made me smile. The marinara sauce is like the hug you've needed all day! The 100 sanitation rating and all of the ServSafe certifications are just bonuses!

So we're new to town... well the whole state... and we were on our way home and saw the good reviews on Yelp and thought hmm were hungry and wanted pizza sooo let's stop at this Sal's place and check it out. Good thing we did because yesssss this pizza is my new fave. We live in the middle of nowhere and this place was a blessing. Eric was so super nice and told us all about the menu and the pizza and helped us out. He made an awesome pie. I cannot wait to order from there again and try more menu items. Garlic knots are very authentic tasting. Pizza was just yummy and cheesy! They just got themselves a regular and I'll be telling everyone I know in town.

I got a pizza from here during a recent visit to North Carolina and I really enjoyed it. It was better then you would get from any chain pizza restaurant. A great pizza place to stop in and get a slice or more.
