| - Tried Sal's Tuscan Grill based on some good Yelp reviews. There were 3 or 4 tables with customers when I arrived (there are maybe 10 total tables, seating 2 to 8 people from what I noticed). The one waitress did a decent job of keeping up with everyone, even after several more customers came in.
The decor is nice. Modern and the right balance between simple and tasteful, if you know what I mean. Not cluttered, but not bare either. There was one TV playing CNN silently, with captions on. I am not sure why, but I've noticed a lot of places are doing that now, copying airports I suppose. But I digress...
I ordered Sal's Special, medium (the only menu options were Medium and Large). I could have probably taken some of it home, but I finished it there instead. It was very good. Just what you'd expect from a wood-fired pizza. Not greasy at all, maybe slightly overdone. Sal's Special has pepperoni, sausage (I'm not sure what specific sausage it is, it's flat rather than round or in chunks, like it was thinly sliced like pepperoni). Mushrooms, onions and green pepper. It was interesting, I think I had one slice that had all five ingredients on it, the rest were scattered about but in decent proportions.
The bill came out to $18.20 for the medium pizza and a diet Pepsi. With tip, $22. A bit pricy for a pizza lunch, but it was a good pizza.
Next time I may try one of their sandwiches (hot and cold subs) or maybe a pasta dish. But for pizza at lunchtime I think I'll stick with Gus's New York Pizza down the street.
