Best Pizza in the United States – Bar none, this is the best pizza you'll ever have the privilege of eating. I used to live two blocks from Sal's and Carmine. A couple of years ago, I moved to midown and I STILL travel uptown for a pie (I take a cab home with it - my own delivery service:).

The best slice of pizza I have ever had!!!!! – We just got back from our first real trip to New York and I tried 4 or 5 different pizza joints and this place was unbelievable. It is just a tiny little place, but the pizza was UNBELIEVABLE. It is quite a ways uptown, but worth it. It was the best piece of pizza I have ever had and my wife who really doesn't even like pizza thought it was outstanding.

Hope they never close – I have been eating "Sal's Pizza" for about 50 years. He was first down on 95th St. Next what was then the Symphony movie theater. I don't believe there was any seating. There was always a wait. The pizza was always fresh. Then he moved uptown and became Sal & Carmine's, but in all that thime the pizza has never changed, nor has the service. It is the quintessential NY experience. The slices are large with just the right sweet and saltyness encluding the oil that runs down the slice. I have enjoyed man... read more

SIMPLY THE BEST PIZZA – YES, THE TWO OLD MEN CAN BE RUDE AND MEAN AT TIMES BUT IT'S ALL WORTH IT WHEN YOU BITE INTO THEIR SLICE. THEIR ATTITUDE IS PART OF THE EXPERIENCE. LOL! I JUST RECENTLY DISCOVERED IT THROUGH A FRIEND AND I'VE LIVED IN NYC ALL MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER TASTED A BETTER PIZZA. THE SAUCE IS JUST DELICIOUS, HAS A TASTE LIKE NO OTHER. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. BUT DON'T EXPECT GREAT FRIENDLY SERVICE OR A TRENDY LOOK JUST EXPECT GREAT PIZZA!

Rude and Slow – I don't care how good the pizza is here. Everytime i try to grab a quick slice it is never quick and the counter staff is rude. I agree their slice is decent, but I refuse to wait 15 minutes for a slice when their are so many other great places to eat in the neighborhood.

An institution on the UWS – I have been eating their pizza for well over 20 years as a young schoolboy and remember when it was only 50cents a slice. Here I am an adult and everytime I smell that aroma coming from their pizza store, not only does it stop and make my mouth water but it reverts me instantly to a time where that slice of pizza was the highlight of my day. 20 years later there are days when it still is.

Really the Best – I've lived here for six years and I've had pie in all five boroughs and this really IS the single best cheese pie slice I've ever had. My friends and I ordered the entire pie and ate it in about five minutes, it was so good. Perfect tomato sauce, get the large for the thinnest crunchiest possible crust.

The pizza masters! – I put this on must do list, and finally tried this place today. It is a hike but since I visit NYC via Penn Station it was simple to get to by 1&9 subway. The pizza was just splendid. I had a plain slice and one with sausage, and if all they served was plain, that would be no problem with me. It's great they sell by the slice since I usually travel alone. I was the second one served today, so it could not have been more fresh or hotter, and that is the way they want it to be since they don't deliver. The... read more
