| - Not a big fan. I explained that I don't know the beer they have on hand and asked for a recommendation. I like light beer so the bartender gave me a Potosi beer that I couldn't choke down and left it behind. We had a 16" tomato pie with mushroom, tomatoes and sausage. Very skimpy on the toppings. The sausage was the size of half a penny and maybe 3-4 per slice. One hole cherry tomato per slice and it defiantly needed more mushrooms.
We were very disappointed as we heard others that wanted to try it. We definitely changed their minds and stay with the great pizza places in Madison. The sauce was good but that was it.
I guess this makes it all better for poor food and drinks! If you support your town you can be sub par.
Whoa! Thanks so much! Potosi makes a pretty solid light pilsner that is well regarded. Really sorry you "couldn't choke it down".
I mean, who says that? What did you want? Miller light? That's just not our thing.
That said...we're a family owned business and we work incredibly hard to do something different. To focus on local. We make our sausage from heritage hogs raised in the town of Dunn. Our tomatoes come from young earth farm in Columbus. 70 percent of the ingredients we use to make from scratch food choices me from Wisconsin. I doubt your "great pizza places of Madison" do what we do.
Regardless, I get that we're not for everyone. But you should be aware that there is a family behind Sal's. We work hard. 17 hours today making it happen and making things from scratch We try to do something different, something rooted in my own Italian American culture. And we give back an enormous amount to the community. Your negative review, hurts small business. It really does. It enables careless chains to dominate.the market. I wish you'd think about that. Just because you don't like what we do, you can tell that plenty of other people do. And in the end , what really matter man? Doing good things? Supporting local causes? But if your negative review hurts my business perhaps it makes it so I can't do what I do anymore. I can't support school lunch programs, or food access issues, or my local farms. Or the countless non profits we support. For no other reason than YOU just don't like it.
Think about it. The works is far bigger than your Yelp review. And honestly. It's ok that what we do isn't for you. I simply ask that you think about it the impact of YOUR words. And how they effect others.

My advise is take care of business and then veering thing else will fall in place. My family had lived here for over 150 years and we to support local towns and businesses. That is still not an excuse for serving subpar food. Learn from it and make it better or get out of the kitchen.
