While in the area I stopped in here for lunch with co-workers... From the outside, it appears like any typical neighborhood pizza and sub shop, but it's definitely not that at all... They make everything fresh in-house and they do an outstanding job with what they do make! Their "sub rolls" aren't really rolls at all, they're actually an interesting shaped sandwich bread roll made from their pizza dough and they taste amazing! I tried their steak & cheese and it was perfectly made and tasted great! Their onion rings are also outstanding!! Service was excellent and they offer so much more than just subs and pizza, so give them a try! read more

Love our server every time and our Pizza is always excellent. One day we went in there and they even brought us and our kids back to see how they made the pizza.... it was incredibly kind and made our whole day. read more

A cozy and warm small place with nice staff. The pizza was cheap and so huge. Highly recommended.

"Sal"-utations! Call her Brandi, MARGE, Brenda....the server goes by many names, but call her efficient! My hubby and family came here for lunch after visiting the quaint town of Crozet and and stocking up at Chiles Orchard. Crozet is a small community with few restaurants, so if you're hankering for Italian, there aren't many choices at your dispo"sal"! We, however, were warmly welcomed into this somewhat drab joint and settled in our booth. Beer & wine was chosen, although the wine pour was skimpy for the price. The menu had a wide variety of Italian favorites. I chose the Philly cheesesteak served on a fresh, warm hoagie roll (also known as subs or grinders) which was tasty while not stand out. A good but not great sandwich. My sis had the Italian sub and she said it could have had more meat, but was also pretty good. Bro ordered the burger, meh, nuff said. And hubs ordered this huge calzone with onion rings. The calzone was really good as I gleaned a bite or two, a melty cheesy, meaty moon of Italian goodness. The onion rings were crispy and delish. His meal was the best of the four. Mostly average food & prices, in this nondescript eatery, in dire need of a facelift. And, while it was satisfactory, it wasn't out of this world. While I wouldn't necessarily seek this place out, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to returning if we were in the neighborhood! I like to try the pizza, so I'll keep you posted! read more

Very good pizza with excellent crust and generous toppings. Red sauce is a bit on the bland side, but everything else is first-rate. Subs served on wonderful house-made rolls fashioned from their pizza dough; a great feature. read more

A flop from the past. This is the kind of place that was probably the place to go in the early 80s... and from the looks of it, nothing has changed since then. And they definitely need a ventilation update. You WILL leave smelling like food. We stopped in, placed an order to go, went next door to pick up some things, went back, and proceeded to wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. We sat directly in front of the counter, so there's no way they couldn't have seen us. After waiting way too long, we got up and approached the counter. Without saying a word, the girl said she just sent word to the kitchen to see if our order was ready. In seconds, he brings it out... already packaged. HOW LONG HAD IT BEEN SITTING BACK THERE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GO GET IT? Surely it was already ready long before we lost patience and stood up to ask about it. As if that weren't enough, my steak & cheese had zero flavor. My fries had zero flavor. No salt. And the bread was pizza dough. Weird. My sister's calzone had okay tasting ricotta and marinara, but again, the dough was not great. Never again. read more

We love Sal's pizza! Their service is excellent, the pizza and salads are delicious, and their prices are very reasonable.

One star because I can't do less. Food was awful and had no flavor. The cheese wasn't melted and were just squares of cheese slapped on top of the pasta. The Caesar salad was NOT a Caesar salad. Lastly, I ordered tiramisu which was the stalest thing I have ever tasted. It tasted as if it was over 3 weeks old. Not a fan of this place. -10/10, would not recommend. $50 worth of food straight to the trash. read more

Sal's is a local favorite. I love going in there when its cold outside. Its so warm from the ovens and smells so good. Charming homey feel with Wheel of Fortune on the tv. We love the pasta dishes and pizza of course. Great for families. read more

Gluten free pizza! Yay! The sauce is amazing! Good service. Great food. We'll be back!

We wanted to try some pizza outside of our usual pizza joint (Crozet Pizza) and we found Sal's! Here's my review! Food: A- We ordered a half-and-half style pizza with Caveman and Deluxe styles. We also ordered the everything-meat calzone. And just to top it off, we got some glazed, cinnamon donut-like goodies. Everything was great, particularly the dessert donuts. We were extremely happy with the entire order. Staff: A Everyone was awesome and happy and honestly made us feel good just ordering there. Overall: A- We will definitely order here again and happy we have another pizza place to go to! read more

We took extended family there for a special occasion. Waitress was rude and lackluster. We haven't been back since. That was years ago.

Sal's is the best pizza in Crozet. Don't fall for the hype of Crozet Pizza. All the locals know that Sal's is for food; CP is for drinking. The Family at Sal's will take care of you in old Virginia style. Everyone is courteous and kind. Be patient with the staff if it's a busy night as they will take care of you. Don't let the "imports" impatience and rude behavior set the tone. Relax and enjoy a good meal at a good price. I wouldn't get my pizza or Italian anywhere else in Crozet read more

Sal's Pizza - The pizza oven - Pizza Near Me - Crozet, Virginia

I have never been anywhere with the service these two gentlemen provide. They clearly care and want to be successful! The food is great and they have things other than pizza. I am gluten free and found a good meal easily. read more

This place has delicious food but they leave a lot to be desired with service. I called 30 mins before closing time to place an order to pick up and the staff member answered the phone by saying, "We're closed". This is the third time I have attempted to order during the posted business hours and they have "been closed". read more

Love everything about Sal's! So inviting, great menu with delicious and reasonably priced food! We drive from Charlottesville regularly to go there! read more

Our kids love the pizza, and it has a good mix of subs and other options. For a sweet tooth, definitely try the zeppoles!

Super good food and super good service I will definitely come back and wonderful ambience!

Great honey place and the pizza was terrific. Really enjoyed our server. We'll be back again!

Love Sal's Pizza. We live in Crozet and order takeout regularly. The "white" pizza is great. It isn't a traditional white, in that it is a normal pizza, without sauce. My picky eater son and I order that regularly. My husband goes for the cheeseburger, and my other son likes the pasta. Sal's is always a hit with our family. read more

Decent food, service, and atmosphere, considering the location and availability of other options

I have friends with special dietary needs and Sal's makes a pretty killer vegan and GF pizza. You get a bigger bang for you buck here vs Crozet Pizza down the street. We love Sal's! read more

I make it a point to eat at Sal's whenever I am in town. Love the local family atmosphere. I've never had the pizza because I like the other food so much. Much more than a pizza place. Very friendly staff and good prices. read more

This is classic pizza with a New Jersey flair. Thin crust with ample accompaniment, and a great value for the price. We recently moved from southern New Jersey, and sitting for lunch or dinner at Sal's brings back good memories. The menu is full, with multiple pizza varieties and sizes. As other reviews have mentioned, the crust is excellent -- crisp and not overdone with dough, yet solid enough to hold the choice of toppings. The hand-thrown technique really comes through in the final product. Moreover, there are five different sizes to ensure that you're ordering exactly the desired pie. Very pleasant drive from Charlottesville; our favorite place to sit and enjoy with a Chianti or beer. read more

Sal's Pizza - Classic Margarita - Pizza Near Me - Crozet, Virginia

Sals is a great local pizza place. It's family owned and operated. The owner, Jerry, is on site every night but Sunday. The food is consistent and well prepared. The prices are fair and portions are generous. The pizza is a typical thin crust with a mild marinara and plenty of cheese. They carry all the typical toppings and is a favorite for my kids. They also have plenty of pasta offerings including chicken Parmesan eggplant Parmesan baked ziti, hot subs, etc. My only reservation is they do not take AMEX, my card of choice. read more

Sal's couldn't be a better restaurant and overall family run business! As a VERY regular customer, I can attest to the fact that there is a whole lotta love in every order. Not only is the food excellent, delicious and piping hot... the service will leave you feeling like you're at home! It simply couldn't be better! Kudo's to Sal's for surviving the growth of its sleepy hometown to populations unprecedented. Forever a loyal customer... Don't change a thing! read more

Best Italian food in town. Nothing fancy but mama mia would approve. Family owned and operated

Great pizza and good atmosphere. Very down to earth company that I don't mind giving my money to in exchange for quality food.

Great food across the board. Why deal with the monsters that own Crozet pizza when you can enjoy the great food at a place that remembers what customer service is! read more

Hate to write this but Sals takeout has gone downhill. My last 4 orders were either missing items or was wrong. One order was completely missed and my wife had to wait 25 minutes. Been ordering from here many weekends since 2010. read more

I appreciated that they had a gluten free crust, but they didn't have great dairy-free options. All of the pizza was pretty flavorless, it tasted like they just used tomato paste instead of any sort of flavorful sauce. And the spinach they used was weird and soggy, like it was frozen spinach. Nothing special here! read more

Was in crozet on business and decided to try sals. What a mistake. First sign I see is their chalkboard sign saying they were closed for the 4th, its the 10th. Anyway I walk in and there are 2 people there. No music or anything playing so its uncomfortably quiet. The place is dark and dirty looking. I ordered pizza and it came out quickly which was good considering it was empty there. The pizza was not mind blowing, mediocre at best. The waitress was fine, she kept the water coming. I couldn't get out of this place fast enough. read more

Sal's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Crozet, Virginia

I went to Sal's for the first time this evening and I was not disappointed. The meatball sandwich was awesome--particularly the homemade "pizza bread." The pizza was also delectable. Thin and delicious with a slightly sweet sauce. But it was the service that really sold me during this visit to Sal's. When I was ordering I expressed my ambivalence about getting a sub or a pizza to the woman behind the counter (perhaps the owner?). Reluctantly, I decided to get the sandwich and to try their pizza at a later date. However, when I came to pay and pick up my order the woman slipped a couple free slices of pizza into a bag for me. This is first class service, and I will definitely be back again. read more

Pizza: Crust is textbook New York thin crust that you can fold. Consistent cooking has been determined after sampling slices on different days and times. Somewhat annoying (wink) that every slice sample did not drip oil onto my clothes. The lack of grease and other factors makes this pizzeria one of my preferred choices. Inside the Cornicione (crust lip or handle) reveals a crumb that is to be expected for pizza dough: large pockets and small pockets of air bubbles. Good sign of allowing the dough to cold rise. Undercrust is firm and flexible. Red sauce is a subtle foundation to the rest of the pie: not overly seasoned, good deep tomato flavor and color. Even when sampling straight out of the oven the toppings and cheese remained with no avalanche of pizza ingredients falling off the slice. Good judgment in sauce, cheese, topping ratio. Staff are generous insuring grated cheese and other add-ons are offered with take out orders. Plates and napkins provided as well. Stromboli/Calzone (small): Stromboli ingredients was fresh, eye appealing, and flavorful. Good judgment in seasoning allowing each ingredient the opportunity to speak. Marina sauce was adequate- I'm used to a slightly sweeter sauce, but found it acceptable. Crust was not overpowering- some places use too much and it ruins the balance between dough and filling. Pleasantly surprised on the Stromboli. The calzone (ham/Italian sausage) was different in construction from my own creation. Typically I load the inside with mozzarella and ricotta and neglect the meats, using them as an afterthought. Sals once again exercised good judgment in balancing cheese/dough/meats. Same sauce used as for the Stromboli. Again, I lean towards a slightly less acidic sauce for a calzone, but found it acceptable. Boxes for take out sturdier and appreciated. I considered 4 stars for Sals only because my preference for sauce would have more basil and oregano. In weighing my review I gave them the fifth star because they didn't force me to accept a seasoned sauce like other pizzerias in the area. Thank you for making pizza that is annoyingly good. The worst part eating Sals pizza is the last bite. read more

The best pizza in Crozet!!! They also have great ravioli. I love the atmosphere and the small town feel of the restaurant. I ordered during quarantine and the pick up process felt very safe and efficient. This is the place to go for pizza in Crozet! read more

We had previously ordered pizzas from Sals, which were great, but this was our first dine in visit. It will most definitely not be our last! We loved it. W had pasta dishes The spaghetti and meatballs ate wonderful! So we're the Caesar salads! Everything tasted freshly prepared. The prices are beyond reasonable, especially given the very generous portions! Service was perfect. I can't say enough about this place What a find!!! read more

My family is visiting from NC and craving pizza. We ordered take out from Sal's and it was the best pizza we have had in a long time! The cannoli and zeppole as well and those were great too! Will definitely come back the next time we are in the area. read more

Fantastic food for a great price. We got the chicken florentine, which was incredibly moist and flavorful, and the WARS sub and garlic Parmesan wings, which were also great. This food rivals what you can get at expensive Italian restaurants in DC. We were in town just for the weekend but hope we can visit again soon! read more

Apple picking Road trip to charlottesville with family led me to Sals. After a couple hours picking apples, and eating country style donuts ... we were recommended to Sals for pizza. We were looking for authentic NY style. We got something close.. but NY style is very hard to duplicate. Our group was 5 adults and 6 kids. We seated ourselves, the place was small and almost full but we got there just in time to grab 2 tables. Our server was okay.. she was nice, but didnt clear away plates or refill glasses like she should have and she never came to ask how everything was. Dissapointing. The food: it was pretty good, we ordered 2 large cheeze pies, and 1 meat lover type, pasta and some pitchers of soda. The pizza was piping hot.. as in burn-the-skin-on-the-roof-of-my-mouth-hot. Crust was okay, I liked my pizza but just wasnt wowed by it. Im a serious pizza critic, always in search of a good pizza pie in VA. The one thing that was so odd was the number of women behind the counter. Im not sure if the entire staff is female but there were a good 4-5 ladies behind the counter and a couple more serving. Odd for a pizzeria, Im used to seeing guys back there. My one true complaint was the bathroom... its in the back in a creepy dark hallway next to the kitchen. There was pee all around the base of the toilet..nearly impossible to avoid stepping in.. Paper towels were sloppy and it just didnt look like anyone paid any attention to cleanliness in the restroom. Hopefully this was just a busy night. They really need to make the hallway better lit..the lighting is way too dark. My 9 year old was scared to walk through there. Would I go back? If in croziet again, sure I would try the pizza again. read more
