Pizza was good but I did see a rat. The place felt like a fever dream. Everyone in there looked upset.

Bottom line, this is not NY pizza. As a NY'er who moved here a few years ago we finally decided to give them a try and were severely disappointed. They drew me in with the possibility of actual garlic knot's and based on that alone I was severely disappointed. Not just rolls like most they had the shape and texture correct, what they were missing was the garlic. We got naked knots with some parmigiana Reggiano melted on top. It was bland and pointless....not to mention highly disappointing. We also ordered wings and found 6 (garlic/herb) drowning in grease and the other six (picante) lacking flavor and texture. I really feel like they barely cooked these wings and when they did the oil was under temperature which made them absorb the oil. In the end, the wings were trash much like the knots. Now on to the part that actually matters, the pizza. Wow, what an abomination, this is in no way NY pizza. This is, at best, bad NJ pizza trying to be NY pizza. Over cooked with a cracker style crust and with cheese/sauce of the lowest quality. Take NY out of your name, this is not even NY Sbarro quality, much worse. Note to owner: The food was bad. Being more upset by a few jokes than you are about sending out poor quality is not a virtuous. Small business or not my review won't sink you and I will not be guilted into changing it. Improve the quality of your product and you will be fine. Or don't, people seem to like y'all anyway. Personal accountability goes a long way, good luck in the future. read more

The looks of Sals from outside doesn't look like much, however, they are always packed & always have business! Pizza is obviously what they're known for but I'm personally not a pizza person so I got pasta while the rest of my group got pizza. The pasta was good however I had maybe 4 thin pieces of chicken & was not a huge fan of the garlic knots. These are all my preferences but definitely give Sals a try! Expect a wait because they are always busy! read more

Staying in OBX this is your pizza spot! Pizza was amazing, we got the large sausage and mushroom. Dough was perfect balance, fresh, toppings where flavorful and plentiful. Nice foldability and not greasy at all. Looking forward to trying all their specialty pizzas. Tater tots where a last second add and wow, crunchy but not dry, yet not greasy. May actually be best tots ever. And what makes this place a solid 5 star restaurant is the fresh next level salad. My wife is a hardcore salad lover, I am take it or leave it. We got both the caprese salad and house salad (see pictures). Caprese came with fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil over flawless spinach, arugula and romaine with an added bonus of cherry tomatoes and red peppers. House was the same salad blend with cucumbers and carrots. All super green and nicely arranged. Order was ready exactly when they said. Service was friendly. Place looked cool and would love to eat there next time. Highly recommend for an easy, fool proof, delicious and effortless meal. read more

Great authentic Italian food and pizza! The service is top notch and food always correct and hot on takeout! 5 star read more

Really enjoyed my meal at Sals! We started with the loaded bbq tots, which were unreal. The house made bbq pulled pork is sweet and tangy, and the tots are covered in ooey gooey cheese. We also had a classic Caesar salad which was tasty, and a personal margarita pizza. The owner makes the mozzarella in house and it is delish! We also tried the plain NY style pizza which is a super generous (and tasty) slice. The house made wings are awesome as well- they come a few different ways. We enjoyed the picante wings which are mildly hot, as well as the Vesuvius wings which pack a hot punch! Lastly, the cheesecake was so good! Rich and creamy and complemented well by the strawberry sauce and graham cracker crust. If you're looking for some satisfying beach eats and a delicious slice of pizza down in obx - look no further than sals! read more

We got the four cheese pizza, a regular pepperoni and cheese with fresh mozzarella, Caprese Salad, Pizza Canes, garlic knots and cannoli . The pizza was just okay. Not what we're used to do it was a change. Not bad just not what we like so I won't knock them there because it wasn't bad. My husband said the pizza canes were really spicy I didn't try as I don't like spicy. He said they were good just very spicy. The cannoli was my favorite part. They were so good. The caprese salad was good I just wasn't crazy on the types of greens used. I think I would have preferred the app. The dressing on it was really good though and the tomatoes were fresh and tasty. read more

During our recent OBX vacation, we decided to order out for pizza due to long lines at some of our normal favorites. After looking for close and convenient, we chose Sal's. Ordering online was easy and quick. I was pleasantly surprised when the pizza I ordered arrived in 25 minutes. After paying and tipping the driver we checked out the pizza and were pleasantly surprised. My wife really loves the "floppy" NY style and was not disappointed. The pizza was hot and perfect. It was large enough for 4 of us with a few slices left over. We enjoyed it so much that later in the week when my grandson and family arrived, we used them again. This is a testament to their service and quality as we bypassed my normal go to for pizza on this trip. If you decide to order from Sal's - you will not be disappointed. read more

They open at 4pm.. 25 mins of not answering their phone so I decided to walk in at 425pm.. the two clueless girls tell me I have a coffee and can't be in the store with an outside beverage because they have a bar? After basically arguing for 30 seconds on whether or not they want my business, I literally walked out, placed an order at SLICE which is our go to.. we figured to try a new pizzeria but second everyone's reviews of their poor management, get it together! read more

Best pizza and subs in town and check out the hot dogs next door. You will not be disappointed if you go here.

Ordered a bunch of food for takeout, prefer was correct and food was fantastic, can't ask for more!

We came here after a full day of traveling. It was one of the only restaurants open late. And super close to our hotel. I got the prosciutto panini and my friend just got garlic knots. Garlic knots were so-so but the panini was delicious. Highly recommend the panini. If you're a beer drinker they have a large selection at pretty fair prices as well. read more

Awesome family operation with a great staff. The garden salad was excellent and followed by two pizzas. Also excellent. They offer homemade desserts and a full bar. A nice plus is an Italian market on site read more

Nice staff. Good pizza. Thin style crust. Sauce good flavor, not too garlicky. Our garlic knots were just ok. Kinda tough dough like it was over mixed. The pizzas had good flavor. Better than others here. Friendly staff. Done quickly. I'd order again. read more

Leaving 4 stars because we DO like Sals pizza, however, I came here to write about the "Ny Subs" which I would leave no stars for. Absolutely do not get their subs, ESPECIALLY if you're from up north. I was sooo ready for my Italian NY sub with a little oil and vinegar, but as soon as I picked it up and felt the weightlessness of it, I should've known and never took it home. We went back to the hotel just to see that there's was no meat on it. Couple pieces of pepperoni and a couple pieces of salami. That was it. We brought the subs back, obviously, and I will say they did give us a refund. Just warning everyone else though. read more

Found this gem after day drinking by the pool at my outerbanks hotel. My inebriated state craved hot cheesy pie and this place delivered and fast. Pizza arrived in under 30 minutes. The pizza is definitely New York style, you know the slice you have to fold just to shove in your mouth. The chicken wings were crazy good they are called "picante" spicy and delicious! Great place read more

Unbelievable pizza! The cheese bar pie was exceptional! We also had the vodka penne pasta to share and it was incredible! The service was spot on and we would highly recommend it! read more

We have ordered three times for pick up. We had been ordering from Colington pizza about once a week. We had a couple really bad experiences with Colington once where the pizza took two hours to arrive. So we decided to try Sal's. In my opinion the pizza is better. The crust and the sauce are really where it's at. I feel like they Nail that. read more

We ordered two large pizzas, hush tater tots, and breadsticks. They came piping hot and ready to eat. Thanks for the great dinner.

This pizza place decided to stop taking orders HOURS before their closing time. I would love to be able to rate the pizza, but unfortunately they do not have the capabilities to provide good customer service. read more

The food is very good. Pizza is competent, pasta dishes are actually quite good and all big enough for two. If you're looking for delivery/pick up, this place is probably 5-star worthy. If you're looking to eat in, well, don't. That's a 3 star review at best. You'll get served in the same paper trays used for take out. If you order a salad and a pizza, or a soup and a pizza, they will come out together. You see, they clearly don't know how to do dine in, the orders go in the same queue with take out/delivery where you want everything to be done at the same time. If they could figure out how to get some real plates for eat-in, and interleave the orders so its possible to get an app/starter BEFORE the pizza, it would be awesome. read more

Poor service. No one in the place but they told me 1 &1/2 hour wait. Waitress and owner did not seem to want my business. Max's pizza is much better anyway! read more

This place is amazing! We normally eat BBQ when down south, but having our fill of it we decided on a pizza. Got a Caesar salad too; it was fantastic. And if you like garlic nots, you are in for a treat. We loved it so much we went back the next night and got a couple of dinners. We both really enjoyed it and had some left over for the next day. It is a very cute little place that is very busy in a small strip of stores. Will be on our list of favorites for outer banks! read more

Had a hankerin for some pizza, even after having eaten a "seafood combo" at another local joint. It left me wanting more and I saw Sal's. Popped in, the dude at the counter was nice, made some jokes, small talked about the menu and I made a decision. It was just me so I opted for a small. When I sat down to wait, I noticed that he started with fresh dough to make my pie, which was cool. And then he said, "hey man, imma make ya a medium, cool?" Of course I was like, "heck yah!", even though my alone-ness situation had not changed. Pizza came out piping hot and looked great - got back to my room and enjoyed a great pizza made by a swell fella, thanks Sal! read more

Great service. Disappointed in the pizza. It's not real NY pizza. On the bright side, the beer was cold (and cheap $1) and the marinara sauce and garlic knots were good. The Caesar salad dressing wasn't good so that was disappointing too. Really wanted to love this place. My 11 year old ate one slice of pizza and said she didn't want more because the pizza was so disappointing. Great location next to beach but no outdoor seating available. read more

Set up: I grew up just outside NYC in the 70s. Partner has lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn almost all of her life. Been vacationing in OBX for decades. I don't come for the pizza, which is good because I've never found anything better than 'meh' here. That's changed as of this week. This is it. NY style. Like 'grabbing a slice after seeing J Geils at the Garden' NY style. The Brooklyn pizza snob gal said out loud several times: this pizza is really good. Chicken parm, eggplant parm all tried, all NYC deli worthy. The OBX loaded tots? As one at the table said: OMG these are so dank! (I think that means they're amazing, rest of us thought so anyhow.) All delivered in timely fashion to our door. We will be back! read more

Good pizza. Many places had a very long wait. Theirs was reasonable on a busy night. Pizza was good and hot. Delivered right on forecasted time. Had the everything, cheese, veggie and special order. Happy with it. Would def order again read more

Sal's Pizza apparently recently changed ownership, but our family tried them for the first time tonight while vacationing. We were able to be seated immediately and were waited on by very prompt and friendly staff. Our party of eight enjoyed the appetizers - the antipasto and garlic knots if I remember correctly. When the main dishes came out relatively quickly, our reactions were a little more hit-and-miss. One of my family is a vegetarian and tried the spinach and artichoke dip, yet supposedly it was rather poor; blended to a very mushy consistency and relatively tasteless. We aren't exactly pizza connoisseurs, but while half of us shared a margherita and the other a regular cheese and pepperoni, a few of us thought they were kind of bland. I enjoyed my sausage and peppers sub with a slice of regular pizza at least. It was a fine experience for me and I think I came out the most satisfied out of my group. I'd say to experiment a bit outside of the pizza if you're thinking about making Sal's your frequent stop, otherwise you can take a chance to see if their staple suits you. read more

Let me start by saying how great the service is! The lady on the phone who took my order was so great! Then, the owner himself delivered my order! The pizza canes are rediculous. The right amount of spicy and savory. The pizza is as close to a real ny slice of pizza! Then the cannolis are unreal. Turns out the owner owned a bar from Richmond where we live. Don't pass up this place. Best pizza around! read more

Ordered a few pizzas and salad tonight online. They were awesome about calling and communicating that there would be a little bit of a wait due to being slammed with orders! They called again when my food was 10 minutes out. When I arrived to pick up our order, that power was out and the staff was still working, slinging out pizzas! Our food was hot and delicious! Shout out to y'all for making sure orders were made, even though you were in the dark! read more

Blasts of flavor!! Still so very yummy!! Of course we came back & this pizza was better then we remembered!! We brought a couple locals who loved it too!!! Also service member/ veteran friendly!!! read more
