The sauce and cheese on the large pepperoni I got tasted good.
The pizza crust itself was the problem.
The crust was very uneven. The thin spots not really well and tasted good. The high spots ( 3/4 of the pie) were another story.
It was so tough that I got tired of chewing. Usually it’s a full stomach that stops me from eating pizza. Not this time…I just got tired of trying.

Overall Score: 5.9/10 – A welcoming and casual pizza spot offering decent food with good quality, though nothing particularly standout. The service was friendly, and the food was ready on time.
Atmosphere and Service: 6.0/10 – The restaurant looks new and clean, providing a casual and welcoming dine-in experience. The person at the front was respectful and polite, contributing to a positive impression. While the website is functional, navigating the menu online can be cumbersome due to individual size listings, which can make online ordering feel a bit overwhelming.
Mozzarella Sticks: 5.9/10 – These were fresh and tasted as expected, though nothing about them stood out. The marinara sauce was standard, and while the overall quality was good, the price felt slightly high by about a dollar for what was offered.
Cheese Pizza: 5.8/10 – A decent pizza with good quality ingredients, though the thicker crust lacked zest and could benefit from a drizzle of oil to enhance the flavor. The sauce also lacked a bold kick, which would have elevated the overall taste. The price felt slightly high by about a dollar, making the pizza good but not memorable.

I’m originally from NY and have lived in NC since 1986. Always searching for authentic NY style pizza. If you’re from the Northeast, you know what I mean. Finally found it at Sal’s in Durham. This little gem has great pizza, subs, salads. They’re eggplant parmesan is also pretty good. Have had their pizza with pepperoni, fried eggplant and sausage varieties. All were excellent. When you go for lunch, you can get 2 huge slices of pizza and a drink for under $10!!

Very friendly people. Super polite and courteous. Food was a great price! Well worth it! “Fried zucchini” was excellent, “sausage hero”was superior and delicious and the “chopped cheese sub” was amazing!!! The “pizza slice” was humongous and mouth watering!!! I would highly recommend “Sal’s” restaurant. Best part is I did not break the bank!!!!

We decided to give Sal’s a try after passing by several times. We were greeted upon entry and noticed the restaurant was very clean. The customer service was great, and the pizza was very good. The pizza reminded us of home ( NY), the only suggestion is to work on the wings a bit. Otherwise, we would have given 5 We will be back!!

Great to have a New York style pizza place in this area. We had a calzone and Caesar salad the first time. Both were great. Not much to a Caesar salad but the lettuce was fresh and well prepared. Nothing worse than brown lettuce that’s is full of stems. The calzone was delicious. Perfect mix of mozzarella and ricotta. The dough had a great crisp and chewiness to it. We will be back!!

Delicious pizza, great ratio of everything. Nice and crispy and not too oily. They listened to the note for light cheese and it looked perfect. So glad I tried this place out it may be a new go to pizza place!

This is the best tasting NY pizza I’ve found in Durham! Will definitely be ordering again.
When I went to pick the pizza up, I noticed the dining room looks really nice too! Seems like a good restaurant to dine in.

Wow! Finally some authentic NY style pizza! I highly recommend Sal’s pizza on 55 for the best NY style pizza in this area. Generous slices and delicious crust and toppings make it one of the best South Durham has to offer.
