    Broccoli
    Emily S.

    Went to Sal's around 3 PM on a Sunday afternoon and there was a wait of about 15 minutes though all the tables were not occupied. Our server was friendly, though hesitant to make any recommendations or share any opinions about the food, other than her love of the limoncello cake because 'it is light.' We tried the eggplant and chicken Parmesan because it sounded interesting and unlike offerings at other Italian restaurants. It was unique and fun to try, but I don't think I would get it again. It was quite heavy on the breading and there was a generous portion of cheese and sauce. We asked if we could substitute a salad in place of the spaghetti that it came with and our server did indicate they offer garlic sautéed spinach or broccoli so we selected the broccoli. She did not inform us that it came at an extra charge, though we would have still been happy to pay it, it's just nice to be informed ahead of time of any additional cost. I definitely recommend the cannolis as the filling was thick and creamy and not overly sweet and the entire shell was dipped in chocolate!

    Cheese Pizza

    This was our first time here & we came in wanting to order to go. The cashier was SO nice! I can see how this place is a local favorite. We decided to go with 3 cheese slices. It was pretty busy in there but when our order was finally ready, she apologized for the wait, gave us an extra slice AND a free cheesecake. For just being plain cheese, their pizza is perfection! The homemade cheesecake was delicious too!

    Baked Ziti Thin Crust Pizza

    I was born and raised in NYC so I'm used to NY pizza which means I was on the hunt for good pizza when I moved to AZ. I heard several people mention Sal's Gilbert, especially their baked ziti pizza, which was said to be the closest to NY pizza they've had out here. I can confirm that it did not disappoint! It's certainly one of the closest to NY pizza that I've tried out here so far. I've had it several times by pickup or to go, and it's still just as good every time, so they've very consistent.

    The food was delicious and the service was on point. My husband was quick with the calamari, so I didn't get the chance to take a picture. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The music was at a perfect level great for conversation and the ambiance was very pleasant. Our server was very attentive to our needs. I once ordered pizza to go and thought, this must be even better dining in, and I wasn't wrong. Best of all, it's worth the drive even though it's a bit far from our home.

    Regular slice of Pepperoni and Cheese.  And a slice of the sicillian cheese
    Sam H.

    I'd been hearing so much about this place, so I decided to check them out by ordering some slices to go since I was in the area. I was immediately greeted by a nice lady that answered a question I had about a particular option for a slice. I came to learn it was called a tri-color sicillian. Since I like Sicilian pizzas, I decided to try the tri color sicillian, a plain cheese sicillian and a regular pepperoni slice. She even offered me a glass of ice water while I waited, but I declined. After about 15 minutes or less, my order was ready. When I got home, I was surprised to see i didn't get what I ordered completely: 1 slice of sicillian cheese, 1 regular slice of cheese & a regular slice of pepperoni. Shame on me for not checking the order before I left...but I can't even tell what I paid for since the receipt was only the cc copy receipt. While the pizza was pretty good, my experience was tainted since, 2 of my slices were not what I wanted, that is why I had to take it down from 3 star minimum. I don't think I can honestly recommend to my friends and will not stop by if in the area again.

    If consistency, quality, and genuinely great service matter to you, Sal's in Gilbert continues to deliver every single time. We've been here numerous times, and not once have we had a bad experience. From the hosts to the servers, bartenders, and management--everyone is consistently welcoming, attentive, and professional. It's the kind of place that makes you feel taken care of without being over the top. One thing I really appreciate is how well they handle all types of dining. Whether you're stopping in for a quick slice at the counter, sitting down for a full meal, or grabbing something to go, they always have a wide variety of fresh slices ready. There's never a shortage of options, which makes it easy to try something new--or stick with your favorites. Lately, I've been loving the chicken Caesar slice and the chicken carbonara slice--both packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. I had my eye on their taco slice this time, but ended up going with my go-to: the Chicken Francese. I always add artichokes and capers and have it served over spinach, and it's phenomenal every single time. It's one of those dishes you just don't mess with. We started the table with calamari, garlic knots, and arancini--everything came out hot, fresh, and exactly what you want from classic Italian starters. My son ordered the antipasto salad with added chicken, which was a great portion (especially for an active teen) and full of fresh ingredients. We also grabbed a couple of slices, including pepperoni--because honestly, why mess with perfection? It's always solid. Sal's is just one of those places you can count on. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere every time. It's definitely in our regular rotation--and for good reason.

    Menu shot of the Linguini. Which was awesome
    Janet M.

    We had 4 years to think about Sal's, so glad we made it back to the area to have Sals awesome offerings. We ate here twice this visit. 1st meal. I had the Meatball sub which had the perfect ration of meatball to bread and sauce and melty cheese. Could not have been better. Sis had Spaghetti and meatballs, also very good. Great sauce. 2nd meal. We ordered the upside down Sicilian pizza with meatballs which was impressive. The lite bready crust was delicious and cheesy and sauce. The real winner that meal though was the pasta-Linguine Gamberi E Salsiccia. Fat juicy shrimp, sliced sausage, tomato, peas and a creamy wine sauce, terrible pic taken because we couldn't wait to dig in. It was so, so yummy. We did have the antipasta salad with balsamic dressing which was also phenominal.

    My husband and I came to visit family in Arizona and they suggested we meet at Sal's Gilbert Pizza. We went during lunchtime, no waiting for a table. Dining area was nice, and the service was excellent. They have a nice variety of pizza to choose from, including, pizza by the slice. They are known for their Baked Ziti Pizza, ziti pasta on top of a pizza crust and a vodka sauce. My husband ordered one slice of the ziti pizza, although, he said it was tasty he did say it was a little rich for him. I ordered a slice of pizza with mushroom and black olives, delicious. I found their pizza sauce to be excellent!! We also ordered the angel hair pasta with olive oil and garlic, highly recommend!! Everything was great, we're looking forward to coming back on our next visit.

    Finally got to try the famous Sal's pizza! We took it for to go, but as soon as we saw the place, we're like we gotta try eat here. There were so many yummy and unique pizzas there and it seems like we could order by slices as well. We got to try white sauce pizza, and it was sooo good! Generous amount of cheese and ricotta. Yummmmm. And there were pizza with chicken caesar salad as toppings, gotta try it next time!

    Thick Crust Supreme
    Robert N.

    Since recently relocating to Arizona my wife and I have been taking in the local favorites. However we have yet to find a decent pizza. Up until now. Sals may be known for pizza . However it's a Full service Italian sit down. Large or Small groups. They also have call in Togo and host a full bar with TV's for sports. The place is loud. The food & bar on point. Service prompt but only fair. Again very busy. Pizza by the slice is huge for me. But there NYC thin crust is legit as is Thick Crust ( Detroit) is bomb. Fresh Hot Balanced. Crust on both perfect.

    Cheesy garlic knots
    Brianna R.

    We love Sal's! We visited today and had a great experience as a party of seven. Our party was served by Holly who was fantastic! As a large group with appetizers and entrees, she didn't miss a beat and our drinks were always filled. I sampled their cheesy garlic knots and the Sicilian style rice ball. The rice ball was one of the best one I've had in a long time, especially being fancied up Sicilian style. We also shared a pepperoni pizza. I love their pizza, but specifically their crust. It's so light and almost fluffy? You can also tell that they use top-notch ingredients--they don't skimp on quality at Sal's. My only complaint is that they are all the way in Gilbert!

    Lunch Special- 1 slice of cheese pizza, 6 Garlic Knots and a drink $10.88 after tax
    Moncerrath N.

    I came in during lunch on a Tuesday and they offer a great lunch menu. You order at the counter, pay and they provide you with your number. You are able to sit in any of the two sides of the restaurant. They offer outdoor seating but it appears it's for larger parties. The tables are long. I order the lunch combo: 1 cheese slice, 6 garlic knots and drink for $10.88 after tax. The staff brought my pizza slice and informed me my garlic knots would be out soon since they were making a fresh batch. The marinara sauce was missing some salt but they had table salt so that was an easy fix. My food was hot, I enjoyed the food and felt the combo was a good portion.

    Man, been coming here for years. On our recent visit, we ordered ahead and took it home. 5 minute drive from home. Medium pepperoni lovers pizza, side caesar salad, pappardelle pasta and an anti pasta side salad. Man. Disappointed in the pizza, mostly in the lack of toppings, and the sauce honestly tasted eh. The wife's pasta was a clump of noodles with sauce. Salads were tiny compared to being in the restaurant. Granted, this was also a birthday dinner. Ugh. We've ordered to go before, and have loved the food. We will give it another try, but probably not for a bit.

    Ask the Community - Sal's Gilbert Pizza

    The Yelp website indicates that you take reservations, however I have been coming here for many years and that has not been the case. Can you clarify whether or not you take reservations?

    Thank you for reaching out. Yes we do accept reservations. We do take a limited amount, weekends do tend to fill quick. I suggest to call a week in advance for the weekend otherwise during the week you can try same day.

    Hi do they have Gluten Free pies?

    Their site states: "**Not a Gluten Free Kitchen"

    Do they have gluten free crust?

    They do have a 10 inch crust, but that's it.

    Do they have a patio?

    Yes, a small one on the east side of the building.

    Can you get pizza by the slice at dinner time, or is that just a lunch special offer?

    Yes, but only whatever is Available at the time.

    Can you buy Sal's hot wing sauce by the bottle? It's amazing.

    No, unfortunately you cannot.

    Are there any vegan options?

    Yes we do. We have pasta that can be made with garlic and oil with sautéed broccoli or marinara. Salads. Sautéed spinach and broccoli. We can also make a cheese less pizza.

    I looked at the menu and i didn't see the linguine with clam sauce , seafood marinara or mussels marinara... do they still offer them?

    Yes. That’s part of out daily specials. We can make that anytime. Thank you

Both looked fantastic, but we agreed that the meatball version had more flavor and was much heartier. The Italian stromboli was a little light on meat, making it feel a bit too bread-heavy for my taste. We also ordered the garlic cheese knots, and those were pretty darn good--soft, cheesy, and full of flavor. Overall, we had a great experience and enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere. Despite my stromboli not quite living up to expectations, we'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

She immediately told us the kitchen would be closing in 10 minutes (we arrived at 7:19 and they close at 8), which already made the experience feel a bit rushed. We ordered a deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza, a Caesar salad, fries, and water. The salad and fries came out quickly and were good, but we waited until 7:52 for the pizza. During that time, several staff members including what seemed to be a manager, were loudly yelling back and forth across the restaurant about staffing and schedules. With no music or TV volume, it was impossible not to hear, and it felt very unprofessional. Meanwhile, our water glasses sat empty. I had to ask three separate times for refills, and the third time I actually had to get up and find our server at the bar, where she was sitting, still discussing the schedule. When the pizza finally arrived, it was delicious. But basic things like Parmesan and pepper weren't offered. I had to flag someone down to ask. And even though we'd just received our food, the lights on the patio were turned off while we were eating, and we were brought a box very quickly, which felt like a not-so-subtle hint to leave. Overall, the food was good, but the customer service and atmosphere really took away from what should have been a nice birthday dinner for my daughter. Very disappointing experience.

It was actually a harder choice than usual because I walked thru the restaurant before I ordered and so many dishes looked good, as did the pizza. But I went with the usual. Let's start with the wife, which truly speaks to the five stars because she frankly doesn't love Italian food. She eats it when I beg. And she loved it. She actually proactively mentioned she wanted to go back. That's like 7 stars right there it's so abnormal. I agree with her. The chicken parm was fantastic. Amazing. To top it off, our server was great and when I mentioned we were new to the area and it was our first trip she was so nice telling us the history of the original and the other stores, and the manager later stopped by to continue that conversation as the server told her we were new. I mentioned that I live closer to the Scottsdale store, and she said it's the same food and I'll like it just as much. I'll have a hard time deciding which shop to return to - it might be worth the drive to the original just for the ambiance, but I'll give the other a try soon because it was just that good! 5 stars. Or 7 if you ask my wife.

I can see this set up working for graduations as that season is coming up, baby showers, birthday parties, or even just a date night sitting in one of their booths. If you are in the area to this location or one of their others, definitely check out Vero Chicago Pizza!
