| - The hubs and I went to Salvatore's for dinner on a Friday night after I finally decided that what I wanted was fig pizza. We drove up to Sun Prairie because unfortunately they deliver up to 6 miles away and we live 8 miles away. o.O Apparently moving to a bigger city doesn't get you delivery privileges. Lame.
The restaurant sits in a very unassuming strip mall next to a Check Advance in small town, Wisconsin. Let's be honest, it's just kind of adorable. It's very clear that it's a family run type deal due to the mothering nature of the head server and the young age of the others working behind the counter. It's clear they were learning a lot about running a restaurant and soaking it all in. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table for 2, but they had a little waiting area with a bench and a childrens toy table, so that was cute. Some other people waiting had drinks which was nice, I don't know how long they had been sitting there though.
Once we were seated we ordered off their beer list which was pretty extensive given the size of the restaurant. There were several I was interested in, but ordered a standard wheat beer while the hubs got one of the Surly beers they had. We placed our order for the fig, gorgonzola, and bacon pizza and we were off. Although, ALL of their specialty pies looked awesome and if we hadn't come with the intention of eating the fig pizza, it probably would have taken us a long time to decide what to order.
Salvatores also serves tacos which is kind of strange, but I snooped on other peoples food, and they didn't look bad. My only comment on my food snooping is that they have a heavy handed approach with their garnishes. Many of them are flowers, and while they might have been edible, I don't think people actually want to eat flowers with their burrata or their tacos. Call me crazy, but all garnishes should be edible and functional. It just makes sense.
That aside, our pizza was very tasty. My only comment on that is that the pizza is HUGE and so the toppings are very spread out. I would prefer to get a bite of bacon AND fig in every bite. This could easily be accomplished by doing things like cutting the fig into smaller pieces to sprinkle on top. Same amount of figs, more surface area, BAM deliciousness in every bite!
And lastly, the temperature inside the restaurant was very warm. I'm sure this has to do with having a kitchen very open to the dining room and hey, pizza ovens get super hot. I get that. But it was bordering on uncomfortable, especially in the humid heat of the day. Maybe look into a better way to circulate air at least throughout the dining room.
TL;DR the pizza is great, the atmosphere is homey, PLEASE DELIVER TO MY HOUSE SO I CAN SATISFY CRAVINGS THE LAZY WAY!
