Thanks to a friend of mine , I came here recently to get take out. How has it been 5 years since my last visit?! My friend raved about two things. Chicken jalapeño balls and chicken parmigiana. Omg!!! Neither one disappointed. My only regret is getting the lunch portion; which was still a good amount of food served with bread and a salad. The entree was soooo good that I just wanted more! Next time, I will definitely get the chicken parmigiana for two. The restaurant is kind of small and can seem even smaller when they are busy. I did receive great service. I highly recommend coming here for some yummy , comfort food. read more

Delicious food and generous portions and reasonable prices. They have daily specials ... delicious steaks, grilled chicken, spaghetti, lasagna and fresh made pizzas along with a full menu of other options and desserts! Check it out! On Old Springville Road across from the Clay post office. read more

Didn't get a chance to take a picture but the baked ziti is that good! It has the right amount of melted cheese on top. The lasagna is amazing too. My only gripe is that they need to put more veggies on the salad. read more

Best Sicilian style Italian restaurant in the city when it comes to flavors. The red sauce is sweet and reminds you of your Maw Maw's recipe. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. The service was great! Our server, Khyley, was on top of it the whole meal. We started with the mozzarella triangles. It was fresh mozzarella that could pull for miles. We also got the fried green beans, so good. For meals, we got the cheese pizza, all fresh and prepared in house, the crust was fabulous. The spaghetti and meatballs was huge! With a ton of pasta and sauce and there giant meatballs. The pepperoni calzone was very tasty, just like the cheese pizza. The chicken parmigiana was very good and left little to be desired. The lasagna was perfecto. All entrees came with salads and bread. The salad dressings were homemade. And lastly, you gotta get the cannolis. The inside is a little dated but it's very clean. read more

LONG wait time . If your ordering takeout Prepare to be sitting for an hour. They told me my food was close to being ready , multiple times then me and my husband had to wait and additional 20 mins. read more

A/c down. Took 45 minutes to place an order. 1 hour and 15 minutes to get our order. Salmon was very dry! Service was terrible! No one at register to check out. Doubtful that I'll go back. Also, flys everywhere read more

Papa Sal's - Italian Near Me - Pinson, Alabama

My kids went in to ask the staff if they had connoli for their dad's birthday a couple of years ago. They looked them up and down like they had two heads and weren't very nice and snotty. I don't know if it's because they were both wearing black and my daughter had piercings but I don't appreciate them treating my teens like this. We have ordered take out many times and the food is good but I haven't returned for this reason. read more

Always enjoy our food here and the quality and portion size are hard to beat! I love the daily specials!

Consistently yummy. Great sandwiches, I love the Veal Parm and the pizzas are great!!

We love this place! Great little patio for dining outdoors. They always seem to hire the nicest waitresses and staff. They have daily specials that are a bargain. Everything on the menu is not equal but if you know which dishes to get, you won't be disappointed. So far, our favorite is the baked spaghetti with meat sauce. Baked ziti, baked ravioli, and pizza are all great too. Boyfriend says the crawfish pasta is also one of his favs. I have not personally tried their steak but hear others speak highly of it. read more

Flies. Flies Flies. No ice. Flooded bathroom. No way I can risk ordering anything from your restaurant ever again.

It was late on a ball game Saturday - pizza was 30 minutes late for a pickup. Toppings were not what I ordered. I overheard the staff telling the person behind me that they had run out of cheese - and declined any order for calzones or pizza. read more

Delicious food, but absolutely terrible service! I've called in orders twice giving between 2 to 24 hours advance notice only to find they don't start your order until you arrive. Then they lie and say it'll be ready in a couple minutes and you wait and wait and it's 30+ minutes later before your order is ready. If you ask to speak to the manager/owner, they won't let you. read more

Really good food, GREAT prices and service! We tried the manicotti and and their supreme pizza and neither disappointed. We will be back!!

All of the above... Great food... Service is good and very friendly... I would recommend this place to anybody... Prices are actually doable read more

Over the past two years the quality of the food has gone down. Menu prices are not correct. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. Side salad cups of dressing were half filled. There was an up-charge for meatballs. The pasta want drained long enough. Pizzas and calzones now have noticeably less toppings, and smaller for the same price. Why would you have catfish as the special and be out of tarter sauce? read more

This was my first time having lunch here. I ordered the Meatball Parmesan Sandwich.... The Meatballs and Sauce were the Best I have had in a very long time... The Sandwich and Fries were served Fresh and Hot... I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu... They have outdoor and indoor dining. The inside is colorful and cozy.... read more

Papa Sals is great small family owned eatery. Although I have eaten there a few times, it has been so long I can't comment on the dine in experience. My husband and I always order take out pretty regularly. Most of time the we chicken parmgina and Fettuchini Alfredo. Occasionally he gets Palermo. we've also Chicken Romano its all delicious! They have the best alfredo sauce I have ever had thus far. Everything we've had has been good and their portions are generous. read more

Takes a while if you call in for pick up -but able lasagna was worth the wait. Spaghetti taste as close to my Italian momma (R. I. P.) as could be ... read more

Great food. Took a little while on the pizza, but they were slammed with call out. Definitely a return trip in the future.

The food was ok. Nothing spectacular. The service was good. BUT we had to fight flies for our food. Kinda kills the vibe.

I love papa sals. We usually get to go orders , and not once have we been disappointed. The food is great! The service is excellent. They aren't expensive... plus they give you plenty of food!! I highly recommend read more

Amazing food for an incredible price. My family loves going here! The daily specials and calzones are my favorite!

Last 3 pizzas have been wrong, not cooked or burnt. No more, Papa Sal"s You used to be our #1 place, but we just can't depend on your consistency anymore. Can't waste the money. read more

They have potential but it's a mediocre place at best. My husband orders the spaghetti and sausage and his plate had so much excess water in it. I ordered the specialty plate Venice and I had to wait about 15 min after everyone I was with got their food to get mine, the tilapia was over seasoned, the Alfredo sauce was extremely salty. Our waitress was so nice though and very attentive. read more

We were in the mood for pasta but didn't want any from a chain restaurant so we decided to give this local spot a try. The dining room is closed due to covid 19 precautions. I called in our order for curbside. Once I arrived I called and told them I was there and someone came out immediately. Despite the rain and having to come to my car 3 times the employees remained friendly and accommodating. Our food was extremely hot and the order was correct. Everything tasted great. They have daily specials posted on their Facebook page. We will definitely return. read more

Good food better prices! To go orders are given a generous amount of food. I have tried the baked spaghetti and lasagna, the baked spaghetti is one of my new favorites. read more

I wanted lasagna, just had this craving for it, and oh did they deliver! I walked in to pick up the call in order, and the server was friendly. Most everyone at tables I saw looked stuffed. That night when I had it, with the salad and bread, it was really really good! Went to pick up a lasagna for 2, and she recommended for 4... I made several meals out of it, being on the go all the time this helps. I've had their Alfredo and several other items on the menu.... Scratch made sauces for sure! You have to go! read more

Try it! Fantastic home made Italian food that tastes as wonderful as it smells. Prices were reasonable and staff was friendly. Only complaint is the place gets so hot inside from the big ovens I guess. It was worth the sweat to eat such awesome food!!! read more

The staff is nice. The restaurant is a hole in the wall (not necessarily a bad thing). Not a lot of atmosphere. They've been in business for a long time. I tried them for the first time and was not very impressed. The pizza had a nice crust but just looked sloppy. Taste was okay. Toppings okay. Several of the chains are better. I also got the chicken breast meal because they were out of any fish items. It was weak. Thin breasts without a lot of seasoning. Vegetables were also weak. Not a great meal. Maybe the pasta dishes are better. read more

Best chef salad on the planet! Service was friendly and fast! Haven't tried any of the pasta dishes but they look amazing!

I Love the pastas and the fresh cheese bread I definitely give it a 10 out of 10. A great Italian restaurant read more

We LOVE the food here, the service, and the prices. It's sort of a hole in the wall spot, but it doesn't matter. The food is awesome!!

Food is always great, and inexpensive! Service is always good! Ambiance leaves a little to be desired but the food makes up for it! Call it in, grab it to go, and enjoy it! read more

First of all, there is a Latino server who is very combative with customers and uninterested in providing the best service experience in dining and tries to overcharge for what other restaurants provide as a free service. As for the entrée, it was delicious and served in the old world manner as far as plating. It was good but didn't stand out as exceptional. There seemed to be no deviation from the tastes that similar restaurants serve. Overall, it was a good experience once another hostess started taking care of us. Kaylee is the hostess to ask for. Certainly good food and very filling. Four stars. Would have been five, but our initial hostess ruined that. read more

After struggling to figure out what to feed the family on a Saturday afternoon, everyone agreed to Italian and found this to be the closest to me! I had Sal's before but I recalled them being somewhere else , which as previous comments seems Clay became their spot for the last few years. I ended up ordering the grilled chicken Alfredo pasta on their To Go Family Special. It came with a salad and warm bread individually wrapped.. The amount of food was more than enough especially for my growing teens. Everyone enjoyed it, and have to say there was no leftover. The food was good sort of the homey taste if it was cooked at home. Maybe just a tad bland for me but fixed that with some red pepper to my liking. Nothing really screamed to be out of this world, but I have to say the ranch tasted delicious which almost seemed to taste homemade and if it was "kudos" to them! I will definitely come back to try other meals on those indecisive days. read more

My family has been eating here since back in the day when Sal's was in Springville. We love their food and appreciate the consistency! Portions are huge and you truly get your money's worth. With everything you purchase you get bread and a salad. My favorites are their pizzas, the ziti, and the manicotti. Their location is super convenient for many people in a place where there aren't many food options at all. Glad to have them around!! read more

We haven't been here in a while so I was anxious to see if it was as good as I remember. First the good. The food was spectacular as always. Yummy. I had the meatball Parmesan sub and my wife had the chicken parm. Both met expectations. The meatballs were very large! I couldn't finish it all. The not so bad. How can you call it bad when the meatballs are so big? Well, it did make the sandwich hard to handle. Also, fries with meatball sub.... that's just wired. And I didn't like the combo so much. Wifey had spaghetti as her side but she didn't eat it (too full). And the not so good. We ordered a cheesy bread app, but it didn't come out until about 2 minutes before our meal - and it was a bit overdone. So overall a good meal. Not perfect but pretty good. read more
