Being across from Boston Commons, this place wins in convenience. With 10 pies on the glass and barely anywhere to sit, this place probably gets the majority of its business through walk by slice eaters, case in point: myself. -=-Mushroom Sausage Jalapeno Slice-=- One slice was enough for 2. They were happy to cut it in half for us. I can't say it was the best pizza I've had in Boston, but it was a good fix. With most of the ingredients and toppings forgetful, this place probably shines by its crispy crust. As per common procedure, Sal's dumped our slice back into the oven to crisp it up. I walked down back into Boston Commons with my slice of pizza, and a stomach to hold off till dinner. read more

I've ordered from Sal's at a different location before and I was hoping this one would be equally good. Unfortunately they put way too much sauce on and it tasted bad. The cheese was sliding off. The crust was as good as the other location but the rest of it was garbage. Really disappointed. read more

I'm surprised it's currently at 3.5 stars. Service was great. Pizza was excellent. Prices are good. Granted it's not my first choice in Boston, however it is definitely up there on my list. read more

I ordered over $70 worth of food and they got the order wrong. I could understand a mistake but they wanted me to accept the mistake. After talking to the Manager, I realized their is no communication between the order taker and the Kitchen. First time ordering and the last. After going back and forth, the manager offered to fix it. I declined because the whole ordeal was draining. read more

Wouldn't give me a cup of water. I'm fairly sure that's against the law. The food itself is overpriced and not very good. This is one franchise riding high off it's fame while it sinks into mediocrity. read more

The crust is good, topping were dry (prob from sitting out too long), sauce is ok. They don't have a huge selection but they have the basics. The staff was friendly and very speedy. The shop is clean and has space to eat your pizza while looking onto the Common. The slices are big and $5 per slice is actually like 2 slices which is pretty cheap and filling. The pizza is noting special but will do if you've had a couple of drinks and need a quick bite. read more

After relentless advertising, Sal's finally has a location in the city. It's new, clean, and fairly small. Standing room only - literally. The pizza is just average! The TV commercials are better than the food. When asking the staff how the new shop is catching on - they said only "okay" because "people say the prices are way too high." Agreed. Not a destination by any means, but not a bad slice either! read more

I was walking back to downtown the other day and passed this place. It's $4.25 for a big slice (about 1/4 of a pie like everyone else said). OMG, I am in love! I might have to hike from the wharf to Sal's for lunch when it starts to warm up again. The crust was soft around the edges so I ate that right up. And, the sauce, cheese and pepperoni was a perfect amount. It wasn't too greasy or too sauce-y. Everything stayed in tact to me able to eat on the go. I was able to fold it up and eat while I walked. Yum! read more

Perfect location, right on the common. Ever so convenient for college kid munchies. The slices are a quarter of a pizza, so they cut it in half into two slices once you order it. The two-slice sized slice of plain cheese is a little over 3 bucks, so not a bad price for a big chunk of pizza. I'm personally a big fan of the pizza, but it does take a little while to make. Sometimes they have it ready, but if not, you can expect to wait a little while before you get a piece. It's mostly a walk in place, eat-on-the-go. However, there are bars you can stand at if you want to eat there. They also have pasta, calzones, etc, but I haven't tried these. read more

Great customer service and wonderful food. Visiting the city, placed order online. Immediately they called to resolve question. So glad we ate there! read more

I went to Sal's the other day out of sheer, hungry desperation. I had been craving pizza, but by the time I was finished with errands I found myself too famished to make the trip to my original intended pizza location. Enter Sal's. The slices were HUGE, a definite plus when you're starving, and they had a good variety of toppings. My slice was good, although I have to say the eggplant left a bit to be desired, but the real treat was the crust. Often a pizza is more about the toppings for me than the crust, but Sal's crust was a real treat. Kind of like a really perfect roll, with a good crust on the outside and nice, soft bready goodness inside. And my wife and I each got a quarter of a pizza for $5 apiece. So that was nice. Thumbs up for Sal's! read more

Loooove pizza! Sals is awesome pizza, slices are huge, always good. Fantastic selection, fresh and good price. It's s regular stop if I'm in that part of town for work(my commercial vehicle parking is also a score for this location). read more

Went to Sal's to grab something quick before seeing a play. Got the Buffalo chicken pizza. Was pretty good and the price was reasonable. You can't beat the location just across Boston Common, and the woman who served us was friendly. read more

HOLY TITS. This is really good pizza. I came in for a couple slices, but then I noticed how big they were. One slice is 1/4th of an extra large pizza... and all that for $3.50?? God damn. The woman cut it in half for me and each half was still bigger than your average slice. The pizza is delicious, and a little greasy, but that's good because it goes well with the soft doughy crust. Mmmm. read more

My favourite pizza place, and my husband likes their pizza slices as well. Highly recommend!

Really good pizza! Not sure how I went 3 years living in Boston before discovering Sal's. It seems like there's one in just about every neighborhood which is great. Their slices are large and delicious and the dough is the perfect combo of chewy and crispy. Mmm! Stop in for a slice and you won't be disappointed. read more

I heard good tidings about Sal's for a while, but I was skeptical. I shouldn't have been. I knew it wasn't the cheapest slice around. I knew it wasn't likely the biggest either. Yet what I think Sal's does it marry the two. For a cool $3.50-ish, you get a slice. Which is actually two slices. I'm so glad they cut that slice (1/4 of a pie!) into two because I'd have a hell of a fun time trying to eat that on the Common. It'll do the job too; trust me. Top it up with the usual, grab some napkins that happen to be hiding behind things on the wall, and chow down. And another thing: the guy who was working there when I stopped by was a real class act. Great guy. read more

I used to LOVE SAL's PIZZA but I haven't been able to say that in recent years since I've been going to the Tremont St. location, where each trip has been a sinking experience and today was the Last Straw! Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was how unappealing the pizzas in the display case looked, which had sloppy toppings atop burnt looking crusts! I was hungry and had intended to buy two slices which were not in the case, "Good, fresher food" I thought, only to be told there was only one left while another pizza was being made! I bought it, which equals 2 elsewhere! I happily left only to find when I got home that the " fresher food" looked WORSE than those in the case! I've eaten at Sal's at least since the days when one was across the street from the Fenway movie theater and I've never seen a more wretched looking thing: nearly blackened crust with black patches on the cheese! As for the taste, even with the dark patches removed, there was only a faint reminder of how a proper Sal's pizza is SUPPOSED to taste! This was absolutely abominable and an insult to Sal's reputation! I hope they improve at this location but right now, the prospects are pretty grim! read more

Came here again and it definitely earned the stars. Last time I had the pizza cold (I had taken it to eat later was in fridge) and it was delicious! Now having it warm , it was out of this world. Really glad i found this place, my only gripe is that there was no seating(was tired of walking and couldn't stand another minute standing). At least the pizza makes up for this!! One of the pizzas that were really good was the sweet chili chicken? Pepperoni and mushrooms was good too. If you really want to sit down go to the commons across the street and sit on a park bench or just take your food to go. Either way definitely worth it. read more

Sal's Pizza - This is one slice of awesome - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I will say that you get your money's worth at Sal's. $5 essentially gets you 2 slices of pizza. My problem is that the pizza was totally unremarkable. Although they heat the pizza for you in the oven after you order, it still tastes like it's been sitting out for a while. I got the buffalo chicken pizza. The cheese was tasty, but the rest of it was really just ok. The crust was thick, but really hard and not very flavorful. read more

Sal's Pizza - Buffalo chicken pizza - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

After 2 years of the usual suspects, I nearly jumped for joy when I discovered that Sal's, my childhood pizzeria, was opening up near DTX. Maybe I'm older, maybe it's different, but this Sal's doesn't seem to have the same je ne sais quoi as the one in good old Manchvegas. Perhaps they've always served their individual slices reheated, but I was too short to see over the counter. A few things that remain true: 1 slice really means 2, and be prepared for a good-sized, doughy crust. The pizza isn't bad, the price is right, and it's nice to have another option when I don't feel like packing a lunch. read more

$4 for a quarter of a tomato/onion pie anytime of the day... that's a tough deal to beat. -I haven't had the chance to try anything else here besides the pizzas they warm up. Been satisfied every time w/o breaking the bank. crush is thin, sauce is a little tangy, they have never skimped on the toppings. the best part is that I never walk out of here with regrets or with that disgusting heavy, oily, tired feeling that I feel after slamming some stuffed crust from pizza hut. hah -great for a quick lunch, or as a preemptive alcohol soaker upper. read more

It's solid pizza that I can't complain about. The slices are deceptive. One slice essentially equals 2 so you'll be good with one. The sweet chili chicken is my go to and it's such a good combination of flavor. I'm not a big pizza guy buy I'm a big fan of Sal's. There are no seats so it's mean for the Bostonian on the go. read more

Sal's Pizza - Chilli chicken. Some of the best Boston pizza downtown. - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Went to Sal's, was terrible. Limp under heated re heated pizza. I could see if they were rushed, but i was the only person in there. When they first opened they weren;t bad, but lately, meh ... read more

Good pizza and kind staff! The slices are huge! We saved half for lunch the next day. There is no seating area just high tables to stand at.

You really can't go wrong with Sal's. I have VERY high standards for pizza, and come here once a week. You get the largest slice of pizza (which is really two slices) for about $5. It's also very quick which I appreciate. The only drawback is that there's nowhere to sit and it can get quite crowded inside with people waiting. It's also right next to a Suffolk dorm, so you'll find it surge around lunch time with students and professionals. read more

Some of the best pizza in Boston and possible ever! I have been around the country and this is some of the best pizza beefing NYC and Chicago! This is a hidden gem! Standing room only with no seats but all good! Great value for price and awesome customer service! read more

Very good pizza. We got by the slice and they heated it up. Very fresh and good. Also had the garlic knots which were delicious. There might be better but to walk in off the street to find was great. No place to sit but the commons are right across the street. read more

I got an XL Cheese Pizza right before watching The Incredibles II at the AMC theater down the street and absolutely loveeeed the pizza! I shared with two other people and it was so much that we were full after eating just half of the pie! We packed it in our bags and ate it in the theater lol. It's very cheap and they have XL Cheese Pizzas for $9.99 if you order online! Very great deal. The individuals who work there are verrrrry nice! read more

I'll be brief. Their food is tasty. Good sauce, good meats, good dough. One recommendation and one complaint: Recommendation: Call ahead. They don't really have much in the way of prepared foods. They have cheese and peperoni slices of course, but only one or two calzones. It will be a 15 minute wait to place the order when you get there so call ahead, especially if you're running out to lunch from work. But why? Downtown crossing especially should have a bunch pre-made. Complaint: Slices are huge. That's great for our over-consuming society, but I'd rather get two smaller slices and try two different kinds for the same price. Yet, they won't cut a slice (which is really two slices) in half. I'd rather they charge the same price but offer more customization by making the slices smaller. read more

Like my favorite, Goodfellas in Lexington, Sal's offers huge, interesting slices and friendly service for a cheap price. Love it. read more

Sal's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Good place but not recommended on busy weekends. No time to look through the slices to see which you want, and you end up with an ages-old cheese slice for $4. No longer excited about coming back. read more

Great pizza for great value. I just wish it was opened later than 10pm. At least have something in Boston opened late.

Only reason I actually gave this place one star because I didn't get sick. Staff did not greet us when entering the store, and after attempting to order chicken wings, barked at us that they didn't have them. I stated they were on the menu board, and he only responded with "menu changed." Buffalo chicken pizza would have been good had it been hot, rather than barely warm. Very disappointing. read more

Cheap pizza that actually tastes good is hard to come by. The Downtown Crossing area has the cheap, but not the good. Massive slices for a little more than a couple of dollars is an awesome investment for anytime of the day. The only downfall: make sure you go when they are a bit busy. My first encounter was during an extremely slow period, so they reheated the pizza in a stone oven, and it wasn't as fresh as I'd like. Their calzones? WOW. Had a fresh 4-cheese calzone for a little over $7 and was worth every damn penny I spent. Filling, not shy on the toppings, and just superb. If you are one of those grease fearing individuals, this probably isn't for you. My only complaint is that the side sauce for the calzone isn't quite thick enough, so it's hard to really get any some on every bite. Regardless, I'm definitely a fan of this place. The order process is quick, the people are friendly. However, their line is a bit chaotic. But if you are going to a place for cheap pizza, do you really need to be complaining about the line not being incredibly in order? Didn't think so. read more

Great service and great pizza. I would highly recommend the Chicken Bacon Ranch. Although there isn't anywhere to sit, the Boston Common is right across the street and has a ton of benches for you. read more

Pizza was average. Thin but large slices. They're made to fold in half. Not greasy, which was good. The location I went to was right next to the Camden Yard, so perfect location. read more

I've passed by this place so many times, love the giant everything approach. With the giant slices, cookies and all here, it's no wonder they didn't put a Jenny Craig next door or is there already one? The no seats part I can do without since where on a cold day can most people eat these gigantic slices? A few seats would have been nice. Other than that I have no complaints. read more

Pretty good for the price, not the best pizza, but adequate. Have to be a fan of tomatoes though! Pizza was ready very quickly. read more

My husband was used to work at Sal's in Maryland when he was a kid so he asked ne to try this one in Boston. GREAT! I had two slices: one with spicy chicken and another with sweet chili steak. Both huge and great! Same for the ones of my husband. The guy thatvworks there is wery kind, fast and clean and very very helpful about explaining the different choices of pizza. The prices are very honest and the quality is very very good! read more
