I feel like this kitchen can make any sandwich you can imagine. My eggplant sub was saucey and heartwarming. The freshly made pizza (sorry, not pictured) looked great, and was pretty darn tasty. BUT THE STAR were the CANNOLIS. Good lord, they were fantastic, and I miss them. My Mom stubbornly was like "the best ones are somewhere else" but she's cray. These were phenomenal. And BIG. Don't listen to my Mom, and GO HERE for cannoli goodness. The savory stuff was good, and great ingredients. I feel like it's missing a tad bit more flavor. Maybe I didn't get creative with toppings. But it was all good. Will def go back, next time I'm in CT.

I wish the place had more upkeep to it on the inside... especially considering the price you are paying for this food. On another note, however- I was told it would be better to just directly call the store to avoid fees. I know this is true but also why have that as an option if that's an issue. I don't think that's the first thing you address when interacting with a customer, let alone probably the first of many interactions. That was kind of awkward. The service ended up being great and my food was brought direct my to my car on a cold rainy day. Very good service to make up for our strange, prior first encounter, job well done.

I have had issues with the take out though. They always give you the incorrect time to arrive.

Sal's Pizza & Pasta - Old Saybrook, CT…read more Slice Mob Takeover Nine members of the Slice Mob walked into Sal's Pizza & Pasta hungry. The pizzas never stood a chance. Located in Old Saybrook, Sal's is spacious, comfortable, and welcoming, with Italian classics playing in the background and plenty of room for a large gathering. It proved to be the perfect setting for a Slice Mob takeover. A variety of pizzas made their way to our tables, but I started with the basics: crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, and grated Parmesan. Sometimes simple is best. Built on a beautifully crisp crust that held up from first bite to last, this pizza let the tomatoes shine. They were lightly seasoned and full of flavor, supported by the punch of garlic and the salty bite of Parmesan. No unnecessary distractions. Just a really well-executed pizza. Next up was Sal's Works. Same great crust and sauce foundation, loaded with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, roasted peppers, mushrooms, onions, and mozzarella. This pie struck a nice balance between meat-lover indulgence and vegetable-forward freshness. The toppings were applied with restraint and purpose, allowing every ingredient to contribute. Salty, sweet, savory, and packed with contrasting textures, from crispy bacon to tender sausage and vegetables, every bite worked. As more pizzas arrived, the room got a little quieter. That's usually a good sign. The Slice Mob tends to have plenty to say, but when great pizza hits the table, conversation takes a back seat. What stood out most? Not a single complaint from anyone. And if you've ever dined with the Slice Mob, you know that's about as rare as finding a parking spot in New Haven on a Saturday night. Michael, the second-generation owner, came out to greet us and pose for a photo. Super nice guy, humble, appreciative, and genuinely happy to see us. He also couldn't help but comment on the number of pizzas we ordered. Fair observation. We may have slightly exceeded the recommended daily allowance of pizza. The restaurant is beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. And perhaps most surprising in today's world, the prices were incredibly reasonable. Judging by the smiles around the room, the empty trays, and the steady stream of pizzas coming out of the kitchen, Sal's didn't just feed the Slice Mob. They won us over. Great owners. Great staff. Great pizza. Sal's Pizza & Pasta is officially Slice Mob Approved. Pizza is life. See you at the next slice.

We had a gift certificate for Sal's, and we had no idea what to expect. We went for lunch around…read more11:30 on a Saturday and it was almost empty. There were three of us in our party. We ordered a large regular pizza with extra cheese and a large salad. Before the food came out, the server brought us a large basket of warm bread and butter, which we were not expecting. That won us over immediately. Before long, she brought us an absolutely enormous salad. It had a nice variety of vegetables and a delicious balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing. The pizza was perfectly cooked with a slight char, a nicely flavored cheese mix and a slightly sweet tomato sauce. The crust was thin and had a great texture. We were thrilled, and will definitely be back.

In many, (most) occasions, the items I purchased were simply OK at best and several times barely edible. There was the time recently that 3 out of the 4 that had the soup that day didn't enjoy their afternoon at all. And the prices? Outlandish! Today was the last straw. If you enjoy a very crunchy treat, then do try their Eggshell Salad. HELPFUL TIP: The soft inner content goes in the salad and the hard outer shell DOES NOT. There is a lunch spot in very close proximity that is a fraction of price, and the food never disappoints. With the most pleasant owner.
