    Ed Levine wrote that Sal served slices that were "more workmanlike and less idiosyncratic than Di Fara, but no less artful and satisfying." One of the best places for a slice on the Upper West Side. Read more

    This neighborhood slice joint—once a middle school staple of mine—has been kicking it on the Upper West Side for decades, and a recent return proved it's stood the test of time. Read more

    The slices are large, a little salty, and moderately greasy in that great New York slice kinda way. The aged mozzarella is flavorful and sparingly applied, and the sauce is sweet and tangy.

    Delicious pizza!! Can’t believe I’ve lived on the UWS for 4 1/2 years and I’ve just tried it for the first time. One of the best corner pizza spots in the city. Better than famous Joe’s.

    My favorite New York slice in the area. Nice and crispy and just the right amount of cheese and sauce

    Classic NYC pizzeria, slices on the saltier side, but still delicious

    The spinach slice is excellent and if you are lucky enough to grab a calzone before they are all gone you will enjoy one of the best the city has to offer.

    Sal and Carmine’s plain slice ($2.50) is a local legend. "The light sauce is at one with olive oil, with a slightly tangy flavor that blends seamlessly with a generous layer of whole fat mozzarella." Read more

    Best slice in the city. Truly great pizza even though they don't use a coal-burning oven.

    Great pizza, high prices, small space, health violations and no restroom. NYC in its glory :)

    The Sicilian passed with Sal 6 years ago. This menu is accurate as of April 25, 2015

    The slices are not large and they are way too salty. Not sure who would call this the best slice in NYC.

    This is a good slice, but the pepperoni slice isn't worth four bucks.

    Reynaldo P is mistaken. Sal, the elder of the two brothers, passed away. Carmine is still around but less and less often.

    all good things must come to an end... don't bother anymore, not worth losing dignity and appetite for $3.
