Sal's pizza is a south side staple and in my opinion by far and away the best pizza ever. The atmosphere is very New York and the guys behind the counter are friendly. One of the guys behind the counter wears a shirt of a band i like and one drunken night i engaged him in conversation about said band and he didn't blow me off like i was some drunk idiot. He was engaged and really appreciated the conversation.
One night we came in after we closed out the bars and my friend (who was a little belligerent) got in a shouting match with Sal. You'd think that it would have escalated but Sal sassed his way out of it and put my friend to shame. He takes it all in stride.
This is the only good eating establishment opened after 2 am on this side of south side, so you can't go wrong when you're closing out the bars. Seriously.
My absolute favorite is the bbq chicken za but i don't discriminate. All of their food is good. I hope this place is around for a long time. It's seriously the best. This isn't drunk me talking either. I just got done eating a slice and I'm stone cold sober and it was delicious. The only place that tops it is doce taqueria, but that place is pretty hard to beat.
Keep it up, fellas. As long as you're open I'll be a loyal customer.
