| - [but see Update, below] "Mention Yelp and get 10% off"... if you click on the "Get Offer" next to it on Yelp it takes you to Sal's website, when you arrive at their website, makes NO mention of the 10% discount. When I mentioned Yelp for my 10% discount, I was told it was only in connection with Chowhound. Someone should fix that reference... false advertising by someone...
Had to ask for a receipt after my purchase. Bad practice. Was never asked if I wanted a drink.
I ordered a 10", the counter person then kept referring to it as a "mini" pizza, yea, well, bad merchandising... see my pik of the pizza, it really doesn't look "mini", why reference it in that manner??? Pizza missed some cuts, so was awkward to eat without tearing it apart.
Pizza was ok, as was crust, toppings; interior of the place looks to have been upgraded since a year ago when I last visited.
I'd give it a solid 3+ stars but they need to "clean up" their promotional merchandising and counter sales.
UPDATE [within 30m of my original review]... so as I was sitting at Sal's finishing up the rest of my "mini" pizza (btw, it was so NOT a mini pizza, much larger), the owner stopped by my table, apparently having just noticed my freshly painted Yelp review. He honored the 10% Yelp discount, indicated that staff were just reminded of the discount, and we had a good conversation of the history of Sal's and how he came into the picture, expectations of customers, and possible future plans for the business. Honestly one would be hard pressed to find someone so seemingly sincere, down to earth, unpretentious, with a real desire to keep his business "real"... so pushed my rating to 4 stars, would do 4 1/2 if that option existed...
Look forward to a return visit!
