Best pizza ever. Love the staff! Their plain slice is the best in the UES, crispy and cheesy!!!!

Yuck I had a Sicilian slice, just overall bad taste and low quality ingredients Cardboard tasteless crust, waxy cheese and sauce tart and poorly seasoned I'll never return read more

They charge you more than what their menu prices, and then they tell you to pay the new price they made up in their heads. So illegal. The pizza is thin and dry, and oily at the same time. Won't return. read more

This is a great place for pizza, classic NY thin crust. They have excellent plain cheese and margarita slices. Each very well done. Inventory is also wide with a lot of kinds on offer. My 5 year old got a bbq slice which was kind of mid but that's because an abomination like that should not exist. Other nice things are there is (limited) seating and also they serve beer and wine. Great place for families with small kids and thirsty parents! read more

Salvo's Pizzabar - Margherita and plain slices - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Excellent local pizza spot! My friend and I came here trying to find a good slice of pizza, and discovered Salvo's. He ordered the mushroom slice and I had the chicken parm slice. We agreed this was a great choice for dinner. The thin crust has the perfect crunchy texture and the quality is great. I just came back a second time and can confirm the pepperoni is great as well. The pizzeria is also very clean and the staff is friendly. I appreciate the calming atmosphere of the restaurant too. Bring cash if you can, there is a very slight price difference for cash over card. read more

3.5 I think it is good pizza if you are in the area but is more expensive for the manhattan location. I get multiple types of slices typically. read more

Decent menu if you want food besides pizza. Lackluster service with attitude. Just go to Gotham Pizza two blocks over it's not worth it

This used to be my go to place with my children - since the owners sold it's not the same. I ordered a Nutella pizza. They delivered me a cheese pizza then said it was my fault and then tried to take back the cheese pizza to sell it to their customers. So rude and disrespectful. Go to Italian Village up the block 78th & 1st. read more

First, Salvo's is great!! I placed my order through Uber Eats and 2 hours later I hadn't received it. I called Salvo's directly and they told me it was still waiting for pickup but offered to send their own delivery person. On checking the food they found it had lost its quality and remade the entire order and had it to me in 8 minutes. Definitely above and beyond. Don't use Uber Eats if you want your meal the same day. Go directly to Salvo's site.' read more

A disgrace to be selling pizza in NYC! The worst I've ever had, to call it pizza is an insult! The crust was dry, hard and I honestly thought it was a cracker with toppings and sugar sauce. The basil was the only real ingredient. Save your $35.00 all, a pizza bar that should not exist selling crackers with sauce and fake cheese. read more

I ordered a pizza for takeout and it was ready quickly. The staff is always very nice. I got the meat lover's pizza and it was good, but greasy. read more

Sitting outside in July was a pleasure. The pizza had a real Italian taste. Lunch was just nice nice

The service is excellent. The tomato sauce on the pizza is beyond perfect. All high quality ingredients. Children friendly. Salvos is a go ! read more

Delicious pizza!! Flavorful toppings, delicious sauce, thin crisp crust!! Efficient ordering, fast service! Clean bright atmosphere.

Very good pizza in a neighborhood where it's hard to difficult to a delicious slice. Whole pies are expensive for what you get.

So far this is my favorite pizza place on the Upper East Side! It's easy to walk in and get a few slices to go or order full pizzas online. Their pepperoni pizza is good. Their garlic knots are some of the best I've had, and they are a good size. I'm not a fan of the marinara sauce that comes with the garlic knots, but besides that I love this place. They accept cards here. read more

Unfortunately this was the worst gluten free pizza I've ever had. There is no point in having a gluten free pizza if it tastes like that. My husband's regular pizza was meh but we definitely won't be going back. Customer service was not up to par. I live right around the block so I was really hoping it would be good because the inside is cute. read more

The pizza is merely adequate. It is a large corner space. I didn't find it particularly clean. I think, though I am not sure, that they are connected to the dumpling place next-door, which is really awful! They are not honorable. If you have a complaint about a chicken Parm dish or any other dish, you are wrong! They will not take anything back. They will not refund your money. They will not offer you something different. I would steer very clear of this place! read more

Salvo's is a solid NY pizza spot. It maintains a good variety of slices. I'd recommend the eggplant (somewhat unique and very flavorful) and the margherita (a well-executed classic). All Salvo's pizzas are thin, cheesy, and walk the fine line between snappy and doughy crust. One critique: I'd skip the salads. The Caesar is simply not good. It comes as a small pile of basic iceberg lettuce, drowned in a thin dressing (that does not taste housemade, I might add). It's not worth ordering. Especially for $9.00. Overall though, the staff is friendly. The prices are competitive for the neighborhood. And most importantly, the pizza is delicious. Salvo's is probably my favorite spot in the neighborhood to order a pie from. read more

Go-to pizza place mainly in the neighborhood. I took out one star because their pasta is just meh. The pizza is solid for NYC though I wouldn't say exceptional or amazing. It's definitely an "any time" type pizza. Service is pretty fast and ambience is typical for New York City pizza. read more

Horrible experience. This place is very dirty and overpriced. Person at the counter was rude as well while giving me cold slice Never coming back yuck read more

Absolutely breath taking! Stunning crust and captivating flavors made me feel like I was back at home in Italy. I couldn't recommend this place for Pizza enough! 11/10 for me and my family! Arrivederci Salvos read more

This is an Amazing spot on the UES. It is the closest to authentic pizza you can get in the city! Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of their menu items. read more

The crust was bland and dry. The sauce is unnoticeable even on the grandma's pie where sauce is spread in dollops. The pepperoni tastes cheap like the cheese. This is one of those sad cases where eating with your eyes is better than eating with your mouth. The place did not look clean inside or outside, and the communal water jug did not have glasses available. With all the amazing pizza there is within a quarter-mile, I'm surprised people go here. read more

Service is great. Pizza is so delish!! It's a staple in our house. Our kiddos love their regular pizza, butter pasta and French fries.

This pizza place looked very inviting and homey whenever I walked past it and it lived up to it. The staff was very friendly even as I did takeout for two slices. The slices themselves were HUGE! Definitely worth the money for a NYC slice. I got the chicken bacon ranch, which was filled with lots of toppings and tasted really good (could've used a little bit more ranch, however). And the pepperoni slice was a classic - the tomato sauce was most notable, tasted different, in a good way, compared to other pizza places I've tried. Overall, I would want to come back again and sit down or takeout food to try more! read more

Very excellent pizza! In a city filled with pizza joints, it's sadly become harder and harder to find a good NY slice. But this place has just that. Awesome NY slice. Quality ingredients, great dough/crust, sauce that's slightly on the sweeter side (which i love). LOVE their veggie pies too. A+ read more

The pizza here is bland, watery and lacking in flavor but York Avenue doesn't have high standards. The reason for this review is that the dining shed in front of Salvo's is partially blocking the crosswalk sign so you can't fully see it on the other side of the street. Considering the 4 lanes of often speeding traffic on York and the 2 one way streets turning into the intersection, that is especially dangerous. Couple this with the fact that Mano, the beloved bodega worker across the street died crossing this intersection to get a slice at Salvo's and was fatally struck by a taxi, we already know this is a dangerous intersection. There is also an elementary school, library, post office on the block and John Jay Park down the street. This dining shed hasn't been used in months and is taking up space and while I couldn't care less if there is one less parking spot, I don't want to see someone struck in this intersection again. Please (re)move this shed. Update: gratitude to the Department of Transportation as within two days of complaining to 311 that this business blocked a pedestrian traffic signal with the roof of their disused dining shed, the dining shed was moved several feet away from the intersection in question. I can only hope that Salvo's received a large fine for the unsafe conditions that they perpetuated. read more

This place is a neighborhood gem! Its very family friendly and has excellent service! We eat here often and love everything we have had. The pasta fagioli soup is excellent (my daughter calls it her favorite soup), the penne vodka is great, garlic knots are on point and the chicken marsala and chicken Santorini are our go-tos. Also love the garlic and oil pasta! read more

Pizza is pretty good and portions are huge (I got a grandmas pizza and it was enough to feed me for the week!) but the online ordering is clunky and the service is not so great.. I made an online pickup order through Yelp and it took a while for the restaurant to confirm my order. Since I live pretty close to the restaurant, I decided to just take my chances and show up to the restaurant and wait for my order. I did call the restaurant before to see if they got my order but the person who picked up the phone was very curt and unfriendly. -1 for customer service.. Luckily, when I arrived, the pizza was ready (not sure why I never got a notification saying that it was ready - I suspect if I didn't come and check in person, my food would have just been sitting in the back). The man at the cash register looked unhappy and looked irritated when I told him I was there to pick up my order (maybe the same guy I spoke to on the phone?) Despite the lackluster service and ordering process, the pizza was really good! Probably on my top three list of pizza in NYC for square shaped pizza. Slices were all evenly cut and leftovers tasted great throughout the week. Skip the garlic knots though - it is inexpensive (2 for .50) but there wasn't anything noteworthy about them. I probably wouldn't order online again, but I will definitely come back for some take out. read more

Slices are delish! Will try a fresh whole pizza next time! Indoor really really really hot and stuffy (understandable for a pizza restaurant...) read more

It's hard to find good pizza in the UES, and after trying a bunch of places, I think this will be my new go-to for cheese pizza. It was classic New York cheese pizza done well. Crust was soft on the edges and crispy on the bottom, and none of it was soggy. Sauce was nicely flavored and not too salty. It was cheesy without being too oily. Also very affordable. Would highly recommend. read more

Chicken Parm Hero is "sub"par - no pun intended. Very soggy and sauce is flavorless very salty / acidic. Caesar Salad is basic. You can make a better one at home for less money with a basic Caesar Salad kit from the market. Pizza is basic nothing spectacular but a good spot for a quick slice.. but never getting dinner food here again. On the plus side Service is always excellent and very friendly. read more

My best friend loves the pizza here, it's her go to after leaving the Pool nearby. Went there today as per usual. We got a plain pizza pie with wings and French fries. I also tried a slice of their margarita pizza. The margarita I wasn't too crazy about but their plain cheese pie and the fries were tasty! Salvo's has an outdoor area. I forgot to add that this is oven coal pizza!! I find pizza tastes so much better when it's cooked via a coal oven. The staff there were also friendly and attentive, with the exception of one young man who was pretty rude and seemed annoyed. Needless to say we will be back because at this point it's a routine post pool visit. Haha read more

It's not my first time here, me and my wife been ordering from that place for years, and what makes us always come back is their tasty dishes. One word - Delicious! The sauce, the crust, and the amount of crisp is just fantastic. Fast service and the most friendly staff in NYC!!! Lots of inside and outside seating , can't go wrong here . Highly recommended and price is the most affordable price in Upper east side we definitely will come back read more

Salvio's Pizzabar has to be one of the Best Italian eateries in the upper eastside. If you want eat the best chicken marsala in the city, this is your place. My friend had a garden salad with grilled chicken and she ate every bite. Evan the server is the nicest, friendliest most attentive person working at a restaurant, today. Kudos to the Chef for such a great meal and to Evan's Boss for hiring such a great Waiter. read more

First of all, I have now been to about 10 pizza joints in the Upper East Side and no one can get a plain slice right, and most can't even get a fresh mozzarella slice right and/or add sugar.... That being said, the plain slices here are so skimpy you would need a full large pie to fill you up. Barely any cheese, barely any bread, and even less tomato sauce to the point that you barely can tell there is tomato sauce or this is pizza. The employees are incredibly rude and hostile. The guy taking orders is just yelling out "Next!" and everything is chaos. No one says hello or thank you at any point. The bigger issue is that Manhattan and Brooklyn in 2025 have zero good plain slice or pizzerias left. My guess is management in these places are trying to save money, just give us slices with cheese and bread but barely any tomato sauce. I am done with Pizza forever because I can't find a decent slice anywhere anymore. Amazing that this place exists, it looks beautiful inside with a few newer flatscreens but the pizza slices are such thin crust they may as well be the width of paper, the employees go out of their way to yell, are rushing and panicked and are hostile. Incredible read more

This place is my new favorite pizza place. Yes I live close, but I've also now gone often and have begun to appreciate the sheer volume they handle with grace. There's never a cross word between the staff. Yesterday they must have had 20 people roll through while my pie was coming out of the oven and they worked like a well oiled machine. While it is not fancy, the ambiance is peaceful and that beats Instagramable every time in my book. Plus the pizza is delicious, every single time. You can trust it. read more

This place has been amazing since the new management took over a few months ago. The slices have been consistently fresh and delicious. They have a full kitchen also. So far ive done a chicken salad, which was amazing too. Looking forward to trying more on their menu. The staff are very friendly and give the pizza shop that special "cheers" of the neighborhood atmosphere. Just look at that mug on that jolly fellow. Lastly, it looks like they cleaned up what was a garbage sludge stained sidewalk next to the shop. Looking so much much better. read more

Nothing too special about this place and the big windows make it a little chilly in winter, but we were very pleasantly surprised here! We were craving pasta with meat sauce and found this on yelp. We ended up getting a slice of pizza to split after seeing they had pizza with vodka sauce which is one of my favorites. Found the pizza to be pretty good (as good as it can be when it's been sitting out for a while). We definitely enjoyed it. The pasta portions were HUGE (ended up with leftovers that made up two more meals EACH). We tried the carbonara with fettuccini and spaghetti bolognese. Both were heaping portions. Personally I liked the carbonara better - I found it to be extremely flavorful for a sometimes simple dish. Was just as great reheated. The bolognese was my friend's favorite, so I guess we have nothing bad to say. A lot of in and out of customers and it was hard to tell where to order what and if you had to stand to get your food or not, etc. Pizza was ordered at the counter, pasta by the register. The pizza we had to get up to get but the pasta was brought to us. They had enough yummy sounding Italian dishes that we will definitely be back! Seems like it would be worth it for takeout too. read more
