Today I ordered a large cheese pizza from Sal's Pizza Pub for takeout. The customer service was very friendly and the pizza took 20 Minutes to get ready. The pub had a nice chill ambiance with a lot of people there because it was Friday night. Pizza was decent 4/5. read more

Traveling for work and ordered from here on the recommendation of the hotel staff. Glad I did. Quick service on uber eats with good sized portions at a very reasonable price. Fries were still crispy and warm when received. Sandwich was perfect and not over dressed with mayo. Coleslaw not picture led was creamy with a hint of pepper. Very happy with meal and would certainly order from here again. read more

I love Sal's. We have been going there for years. We love their pizza and other comfort foods. Ice cold beers and they are always happy to see you. read more

Since moving here April of 24, I've ordered from here very regularly. It's close to home, the pizza is always delicious and when I've been in the bar, the staff has always been friendly. It's a great spot to kick back or grab some grub. read more

Coming off a flight out of ord, iso pizza on a Sunday night. We found this place, kitchen still open after 9p. Glad we did! Quick service at the bar. Pizza, salad & wings came out pretty fast. A couple other tables eating, half the seats at the bar taken. Sports and news playing on TVs. Good food, good vibes. read more

We heard about this place a local and wanted to confirm their high reviews. We ordered a large pepperoni, thin crust pizza with a bucket of beer. Our food and beer were delivered quickly and with a smile. The pub has plenty of tv's to check out any sports event you're trying to catch. Very low key, relaxing bar vibe with good food. Definitely recommend! read more

Stopped here to hangout for a bit as many other places nearby were closed. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit disappointing. The table ordered a few food items and it was a mixed experience. The blue moon we ordered was served fairly cold but felt a bit flat. The tito's tasted a bit weak as well, with too much soda and ice in comparison to the alcohol. The nachos we tried were fairly crispy though quite greasy and the salsa was very cold, which was quite a disappointing size given that this item is over $6. The monster pizza was a bit more disappointing as the flavor of cheese overall dominated over all the other ingredients. Each topping is charged separately so a 14" rolled is over $28. Given the amount of toppings and the flavor, I don't think this was a great value. The cheese and toppings also kept sliding off the crust/dough which made it difficult to eat. Overall, the experience wasn't great compared to similar types of pubs that I've been to. read more

Big mama & big papa is where it's at! Went for a late lunch, clean, quiet, love the slots.

SOLID bar pizza! Great Football Sunday Funday spot (sound on)! 2 of us enjoyed a $12 mix n match domestic buckets with a Large Thin WELL DONE pizza. Their sausage was great (& I have high standards). Crust was legit cracker crust -- tasted just like those Carr's crackers. That was a first! Very good. read more

This review is based on a delivery order. I knew I wanted pizza delivered and this place came up. The pizza had a nice crispy crust. They did not skimp on pepperoni or toppings. They do deliver to noon whistle down the street. A great combo. Pizza and beer :) read more

So... I got lost trying to find my hotel, as my GPS was not working on my car and I so Sal's Pizza Pub on the right. Well, not knowing how long it would take to for my GPS would start working, I decided to loop around and see what Sal's had to offer. I arrived about 7:30pm on Monday night, and they were not real busy. OK with me and I sat at the bar and ordered a Miller Lite and took a look at the menu. Sal's has a great variety of choices from soups and salads, to chicken wings, burgers and hot sandwiches, and of course pizza. So what do you get at a place that's called Sal's Pizza Pub? The Pizza. I ordered the Sal's Pizza to-go (after having a couple of more ice cold Miller Lite's, enjoying my conversation with Sal, the bartender, and another customer at the bar). Before I talk about the pizza, let me talk a bit more about Sal's. If you are looking for a great neighborhood place, that is welcoming, that has great food, great service, and a great place, Sal's is the place. Now for the pizza. The pizza was fantastic! The Sal's Pizza has sausage, pepperoni, bacon, garlic AND jalapenos. The topping to bite ratio,(Which I think should be one of the measurement's in a true evaluation of any pizza) was perfect. The taste was wonderful, the crust perfectly baked, and with all of the ingredients on this pizza, it's one of the best Pizza's that I have had. The bonus was they had pizza's at 25% off Monday night as well. If you're in the area, or if you live in the neighborhood, stop by and visit Sal's. Also, did you know that Sal was a musician? Well, he likes the Baritone Sax, but he loves the Tenor Sax. Stay hungry my friends... read more

TAKING A DIVE This low-key pub in Lombard is fairly divey but it's got some redeeming qualities. Were it not for my hosting weekly trivia here, I likely would've never heard about Sal's Pizza Pub.....they aren't doing themselves any favors in advertising with more than half of the letters in their sign being burnt out. I took over as Sporcle Live trivia host several weeks ago and come back every Tuesday night to hop on the mic and deliver some clever quips amidst a gamut of general knowledge questions that span two, hour-long rounds. Crowds are consistent (the "regulars") and are almost always amiable. Sure, there's the occasional group of rowdy asshole townies that crash the party, but this place is a bar and alcohol gets people fired up. Can't fault the customers or the venue for that. Though I *can* fault the venue for this: A medium 12" pepperoni pizza was $13.95, which I found damn expensive. It was a nice thin crust with stringy cheese and enough 'roni, but I found a multicolored hair under one of the pieces. My hair is monochromatic (brown) so I know for a fact it didn't come from my head. Not great. Tuesdays have 20oz draft beers for $5 and buckets on Sundays. The guys running the joint are a friendly bunch and this is typically a good choice for catching a Hawks game. * TL ; DR * Sal's is pretty alright. They've got decent daily specials and their pizza -- when not infiltrated by (dog?) hair -- is okay, if a tad overpriced. Yeah the bathrooms could use some modernization but as long as your expectations aren't sky high for this dive bar, you probably won't leave disappointed. Not a bad place to grab a pint and play some weekly trivia. Plus the host is a total hunk! I'd recommend Sal's on Tuesday nights between 7pm and 9pm. read more

Sal's Pizza Pub - A medium pepperoni pizza ($13.95) was tasty, but expensive. - Pizza Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

Waitress was snotty and wouldn't honor a legitimate gift certificate won fair and square

Ordered the thin crust and requested ultra thin. Good pizza, right amount of sauce. It was a delivery order so I cannot comment on the staff. The only disappoint was at least on the app I ordered from no desserts were listed. Would definitely order from there again read more

I swear, I think I'm the only person who grew up in this town who had never been to this bar. Something about it terrified me for a long time... maybe that it's in a strip mall with a 7-11 and a Kenny Roger's Chicken Brooster... okay it's not Kenny Rogers, it's just Brooster's but it's more fun to add the Kenny Rogers part. The point is- I finally took the plunge and now I'm pretty pumped to go back. The staff here is super friendly and make it seem like home... A home that has 17 flat screen TVs in one room that is. They have cheap beer, cheap food, and a whole hell of a lot of karaoke. There were 2 guys hosting karaoke on the night I went and they put on quite the show. Seriously, I would pay money to watch them karaoke all night. They are hilarious! Totally a reality show kind of couple... like Pumba and Timon from the Lion King. I will definitely be back and I may even make it a point to show on a karaoke night. read more

Live walking distance to here and have been a couple times. It's got a very divey feel on the inside, but don't let that fool you. The pizza is very good (even though they cut it pie style). It's crispy and thin Chicago style with a good sauce. They have good weekday deals and trivia on Tuesday is fun. Jalapeño poppers are solid as well as the chicken tenders. Lastly they have a surprisingly good craft beer selection, featuring a lot of local lesser know breweries not just your typical lagunitas and goose island. read more

I ordered food here at 12:00pm to be picked up at 5:00pm which they had 5 hours to have ready and when I got there at 5:10pm I had to wait until 5:37pm even worse the employees acted like they were annoyed I was there even though I was only there because my order wasn't ready when it was supposed to be a horrible experience all together and I will not be returning read more

I STILL love love love Sals! It is my favorite neighborhood bar. The food is on pint- always fresh, good flavor, perfect. I highly recommend the pizza or the wings, but if you are feeling healthy, the salads are awesome too!! My favorite thing about Sals is the friendly and welcoming staff. Every single one is genuine and outgoing. They are all very attentive, and will literally serve you with a smile. Drinks and food are cheap, and every night they have something cool going on. Whether it's Karaoke or Trivia, this place will always keep you entertained. I highly recommend Sal's. They have set my standard for neighborhood bar!! read more

Full disclosure: I knew Sal, I know Melissa, Danny, Chavo. This is a local place, a bar. One of the last of its kind. No hipster, micro/macro/themed lounge going on here. It is a place with friendly people and good food. A kitchen that does not get enough credit. Good pizza - carry out available. Good lunch spot and pizza is out during happy hour. When your in the neighborhood go see my friends. read more

Nice family owned business. Good sandwiches and pizza. Owners and staff are very friendly. Nothing fancy, but a nice place to relax with a drink and a bite to eat. read more

Solid choice for thin crust pizza. Tasty and fresh ingredients. Onion rings were also delicious and traveled surprisingly well. The wings were not my favorite, but I'll definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Please be aware if you do not fit their type after 9pm you will not be allowed to be in. This happened to my husband and kids last night when all they wanted to do was get a bite to eat after being out and about with friends. The friends were allowed in but he were not! Great experience for my teenage kids who are now furious about how they and dad was treated! read more

I am born and raised in Chicago. I retired and moved to warm weather but, I never get pizza like Chicago pizza. I have been staying in the Lombard area and decided to try Sal's Pizza in Lombard. In my opinion this pizza was disgusting. The slices were sticking to the pizza box, the dough was under cooked. It was the worst pizza I have ever had. read more

I lived behind Sal's so I first came here purely based on convenience. I was a bit skeptical given it's location in a non descript strip mall (next to a 7-11!) The generic restaurant sign almost turned me away, but the moment I entered, I knew it was a special place. 100% local and a very warm atmosphere. The pizza is legit and the service is friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Sabrina at Sal's hooked us up. They stayed open late and provided the best service and most delicious pizza and beverages. Will definitely be back. read more

Wish I could find a single good thing to say about this place. I've had way better frozen pizza in the microwave. The people that work here make you feel like you're inconvenienceing them just by coming in. I'd rather drink at home than deal with these a-holes. read more

Love Sal's thin crust pizzas. We always order the cheese, sausage & mushroom. It only takes a short time after ordering from my cell phone that it's ready to pick-up! Love it! read more

Been coming here for several years - mostly for Trivia Night on Tuesdays (7pm - game 1; 8pm - game 2) through Sporcle Trivia. It's always a lot of fun and 90% of the bar plays in teams so the whole place erupts with outrage/laughter together when answers are revealed. They have free pizza from 5-7pm Monday - Friday (yes, even on a Friday!) and the toppings vary. (One time it was onion and cheese...no thanks!... other times it's exactly what you want) They have drink specials, too, which are good. Service varies. Dan knows us and is friendly. One of the women gave me a hard time when I didn't order a beer (ordered a soft drink) during Free Pizza (5-7). Their wings are really good. the 50/50 sauce is the best, IMO. Monday is 50 cent wing night. It's perfectly Dive-Bar-ish, excellent for watching sports on TV (Go Sports!), and have a decent craft beer selection on rotation. read more

Manager sucks. Ordered pizza for delivery and it never arrived. Manager stated we did what we were supposed to to do. We made pizza and it was picked up. The fact you didn't get it is not our problem. No, we don't know who you can call to find your pizza. As a matter of fact we are hanging up on you because we are doing so well we don't need your business. read more

Very rude people working at the bar. No hi, how are you? Is there anything I can help you with? Just stares and eye rolling. I am a traveling nurse from out of town and I did not expect to be stared at when I walked in or be talked to rudely. I knew when I walked in being the color I am and had everyone staring at me that I would not have a good experience and I ended up having to leave. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone especially people who "look different". read more

How can you complain about a place that saved you from a tornado? I'm not even kidding you. Allow me to set the stage... Chrissy W. and I had just left our fabulous sex & the city-esque dinner at Capital Grille not too far from Sal's when the sky started to turn dark and the wind began to pick up. By the time we were out of the Yorktown parking lot, it was pitch-black outside and pouring, and the street lights all shorted. Then, the tornado sirens began. (turns out there was a touch-down in Downers that night) I thought she was going to rip the center console out of my car. I floored it. She told me to head for Sal's. We arrived, in one piece, and promptly got her a drink. The place was empty that day, but they saved us from imminent doom. For that, we love you, Sal's! The fact that I'm rarely in there (once a quarter, maybe?) but the waiter still remembers me and my drink, is points. Karaoke is fun. The food is decent. But they saved me from a freakin' tornado. read more

What attracted me most about Sal's Pizza Pub, apart from my wife suggesting it, was the prevalence of four-star reviews. Does anyone give it five or three stars? Such a small variance suggests a place that hides nothing, assumes no false airs, and has so much salt-of-the-earth to it that you'd swear you were at the ocean. On a beautiful Friday, reminiscent of trips to the ocean while we lived on the east coast, my wife and infant joined me for lunch at Sal's. With our little one, late-night rollicking is a memory. Too bad; I'm a big fan of karaoke. With an option to order at the register or at our table, we went for the restaurant treatment. The number of take-out orders during our stay confirmed Sal's decision to make the offer. If a place can be trashy without being dumpy, Sal's might be it. There are many non-matching TVs around the place. The carpet looks as if many a gallon of beer has been absorbed into its fibers, yet the upholstery in the booths are not in need of duct tape. And, for some reason, the place is devoid of women during the day. For most of our meal, my wife was the only XX'er there. Oh yes, the meal. Pretty dang good, I must say. We split a buffalo chicken sandwich and a "sloppy Jose." I can't say that the chicken sandwich is that different than other sandwiches of that ilk, but the quality of the ingredients were good, as was the balance. The chicken could've been a little thicker, I suppose. The sloppy Jose was my preferred sandwich. With two types of cheese and jalapeno slices, the sandwich had a nice kick that wasn't too powerful. Even my wife, who cringes at the thought of another Manwich, liked the taco meat in its place. The bun was a bit stale, but not too much to ding the review. Ordinary fries, rings and other sides completed our meal. Nothing special, but it was nice to get two sides with each sandwich. Every town should have a place like this. Many channels on many TVs, but local station WGN got the one audio track. The server wore an untucked T-shirt and jeans, but you wouldn't expect anything else here. Sal's is exactly what you think it will be, and that's a good thing. I think I'll enjoy coming here one evening, as soon as we trust a babysitter enough. read more

A great little hole in the wall type place. Beer is cold, drinks are generously poured, food is tasty (so i hear), Karaoke is pure fun, and it happens like 3 nights/week. You really feel like you're there with a bunch of your friends. And that's mostly because a few of your friends are bound to be here partaking in the fun already. I have yet to try any of the food, but I hear it's pretty stellar. There are plenty of tv's to go around, and it never gets slam-packed in here. One of my new favorite local spots since I moved back home. read more

Sal's is a great place to throw back a few beers with friends any day of the week or belt a few Karaoke tunes if you show up on Thursday. Nice $5 / pitcher of high life deal on Thursdays and half price appetizers till 7. Aside from the cheap booze they get a nice beer of the month and have a few other good ones on tap. Their Philly is pretty damn good. Guy (Ryan) is also an awesome server... so tip well! read more

What took us so long? We live a short walk from Sal's and only just tried their pizza. I have no excuse. We went simple: a 16" rolled dough cheese pizza. I picked it up, and noted the interior for future visits. It's small, cozy, a local sports bar. I have no idea what their beer list is like, although there was a sign for Moose Drool, so they may have a craft brew or two. The pizza was very tasty. Cut into larger pieces, with a sturdy crust that didn't flop and wasn't too floury and had a nice taste. The cheese broke nicely and it had a good browning. There was a slight sweetness, which may have come from the sauce, which was perhaps a little skimpy -- but I don't like sauce oozing everywhere, and it blended nicely with the cheese and crust. Given their proximity, tastiness and affordability, I have to imagine Sal's is going to become a regular feature of our pizza nights. read more

I've lived less than a mile from Sals for I don't know how long and have never been in there. The first time was a few months back. I ordered a buffalo chicken pizza, I picked it up and the staff made me feel so welcome that I ordered another one a few weeks later. The pizza was delicious! I made sure to tell them that I like it very spicy and they made sure it was to my liking. I haven't gone to the bar part but I've heard that the Karaoke is pretty good. It sounds like they have kick ass deals as well. I'll have to make it in there on a Karaoke night, it sounds very entertaining, but for now...more buffalo chicken pizza awaits. =] read more

Oh, suburban Chicago... you kind of ratchet. That said, Sal's is a pretty good place to hang out with your townie friends who never moved into Chicago. Before 8 p.m., this place is a 'family restaurant' (though I'm not entirely sure how that works), so just keep that in mind when you want to watch sports and begin drinking at a bar before 4 p.m. This place has good specials, cheap prices and karaoke every weekend. At first, you think karaoke is lame but wait... it'll be great after four or five beers. I'm not entirely sure what kind of food this place serves late night, but there's a chicken joint and a Chinese place in the same strip mall if you're hungry. I like hanging out here with my friends, especially since some of them only live like 5 blocks from here. It makes for good drinking and non-driving after a nice evening out. read more

I had a surprisingly great time at Sal's. I was in L-Town (as I like to call it) for a friend's birthday party. We went to Sal's for some karaoke on a Saturday night and had a blast. When we first got there, the place was PACKED! It was standing room only. We had about 10 people in our group, and there were a couple other big birthday party groups there. We literally had to stand off to the side of the room right where they set up the karaoke "stage." Once people started singing, we were pretty much standing right in front of them, like they were singing right to us. Ha! It was cool, though. The DJ they had hired for the night (DJ Q) was really great. He was funny, and I liked the songs he was playing between performances. He really got the crowd into it. Eventually, the crowd died out and we were able to sit at a table in front. At that point, we ordered some snacks, you know since we finally had a table to put them on. We ordered mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms and cheesy garlic bread. Everything was really good! I definitely want to try Sal's pizza. I had been eying it from nearby tables, and it it looked really good. I guess the two negatives for Sal's would be that it's a small place, and the bathroom situation. There were only one men's and one women's bathroom, so you were always waiting in line. Overall, we had a really great time. Next time I'm in L-Town, I'll definitely hit up Sal's and try their pizza. read more
