This place has a great small town vibe, with friendly servers. The cheesesteak sub, the Salvatore sub and the chicken tenders were great. Toasted sub roll and plenty of meat. We got the kids a cheese pizza, it was ok. It had entirely too much cheese for our liking. All of the other food was amazing though, we will be back. read more

We stumbled upon this pizza place while on vacation. The staff is super nice. The antipasto salad was pretty good, but lacked seasoning on the white pizza. It was rather bland. read more

Great family run pizzeria. Jimmy is a great host, our party of four was well received. We had a white pizza and Sal's combo, even though we came quite late. Great food and hospitality. read more

We ordered this pizza late at night after a long drive and it was exactly what we needed the crust was thin but crispy the sauce had a nice tang and every bite made us feel a little less tired read more

Ordered from here waited over an hour and they decided to close early and not say anything don't go here

Food was good, staff was friendly, the sub sandwiches were good sized portions. Very reasonable prices.

We go to Sals every Wed for family dinner night. The food is always good. The atmosphere is great for private or open discussion, the service is always great. It's a great little place with good prices, managent and friendly staff. Highly recommend. SGM read more

Very nice little family and place food is not spectacular but it's not bad. The individual slices are a quarter of a large pizza and unbelievable value. The family operates children study in the back afterschool. Everyone on the stairs was extremely warm and inviting and made sure that our need were met. If you're in standards and looking for a reasonable place to eat a nice bar Sals is your place read more

Great food fast service. Lasagne and eggplant were yummy. Didn't get the pizza. Thoroughly enjoyed. Didn't eat in restaurant

Greasy pizza! I always order with spinach. I like that he uses frozen spinach, thawed of course. Service is quick. Inside dining is comfortable. I wish they had tables outside to enjoy a draft beer to watch the evening sunset. read more

Sal's is a quaint family restaurant and makes fresh, delicious Italian food. We first stopped by for sandwiches and then came back again for our next cabin trip. Sal's went above and beyond for us and we can't wait to come back the next time we're in town! Highly recommend the Stromboli and steak and cheese sandwich! read more

They either forgot to prepare my order or gave it to someone else and instead of telling me the truth, I was told it wasn't quite ready and they were going to have me wait for 20 or so minutes. And when I asked if that was my order that I saw them place in the oven, the young lady sitting at the register was rude, condescending, and wouldn't try to help. read more

Service was great and staff was friendly. Good value food for the money. I had lunch after a long hike, the Gabriella sandwich, which is basically a Philly cheesesteak with pizza-style pepperoni and sausage added. I wish it had a little more of the pepperoni or something to spice it up a bit more, but overall it was good. read more

We were staying at a Airbnb close to this place and there is not much in the town to chose from, we gave it a try and we were not disappointed. Both Pizzas were good soft and toasty in the egges the sause is house made we enjoyed. The pesto was to greasy for my taste but my husband like it. The service was fast abd polite. read more

This place is absolutely delicious. The waiters and staff are always friendly. You get a true authentic Italian taste food is not over priced and cooked to perfection. I would recommend this place to anybody. read more

I called ahead...then waited twenty minutes, got home and the inside of my calzone was ice cold with frozen broccoli, a huge spoonful of ricotta and not much else inside. read more

Always a delight grabbing a to go order at Sal's! Friendly and caring staff and amazing food!

We came here on vacation on tiny house trip and we found best pizza in standersville area i would definitely recommend it to campers

We were looking for some take out for a Saturday night, and were happy we chose Sals immediately when we walked through the door. The staff was extremely kind and welcoming. The food was also delicious (we got the steak and cheese sub-and it was a MONSTER). We will absolutely be back! read more

Two pizzas, appetizers, Tortellini, all fantastic. Chicken dinner was a little dry. Very friendly staff. Great value.

Sal's Pizzeria is a great place for any evening or day of the week. Good food with my favorite pizza of spinach and cheese. Service at the bar for a cold draft of Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager or sir at a table to enjoy the relaxing ambience of the open dining room. read more

Staff is always friendly and helpful. We've gotten carryout here several times and food is always hot and fresh. Any error to the order is quickly corrected. read more

I love having Sal's in my backyard. The Tuesday pizza deal is fantastic, not to mention the pizza is delicious. The strombolis are good and huge. Bacon cheese fries, breadsticks, breaded mushrooms...all so good. My favorite pizza is the Sal's Combo - it never disappoints. The people are friendly and the food is good. I was in a place not too long ago and the person behind the counter was looking up a phone number in the phone book, and she said "Oh sorry, looking up the number for Sal's..." and I just spouted it off without even thinking. In my defense, it's an easy one to remember and I've known it for over 20 years :) read more

My husband and I were in town for a grandson's "destination wedding" and found that there were very few places to eat in the area. We hit upon Sal's and had some of the best pizza ever! It was so loaded with cheese and toppings that we needed a fork to rescue all that fell off! The crust was so good that I ate the edge, something I never do. I couldn't finish mine so had some for breakfast the next morning. There was still some left-- The next day I ordered a stromboli--It was HUGE and just as delicious as the pizza. read more

Stanardsville is a small town with very limited food dining choices. My family enjoys Sals, we've never had an issue with the staff nor the food nor the timing. We prefer their pizza over others in area. It's a good doughy thick crust so thin crust lovers beware. Pizza, is a bit greasy at times but is still tasty! Convenient dining before local high school sports games. Not slow service even on a busy Friday game night. My parents like to eat here when they visit us because of close location, good prices, variety of Italian dishes, my Dad always enjoys the special. Most of the staff is from the same family/owners and we enjoy interacting with them. They have renovated recently, made it more quaint, less intrusive. read more

The food is okay, but I hate going in there unless it's in full swing for dinner. At lunch time, it's rather slow. Since they don't have anything else to do, the staff will sit at the counter and chat quietly while they stare at you eating. It was incredibly uncomfortable. The waitress came once to refill our drinks, and that was after my boyfriend made really loud sucking sounds trying to get the soda at the bottom of the glass. Definitely not my first choice for pizza in Greene. read more

Pros: the one restaurant nearby our campsite (heavenly acres). Needed something to go and can last through the night. The workers were friendly. Cons: ordered the meat lovers pizza and it wasmediocre. A bit too greasy. Overall: i would come back and try the other food on their really big menu read more

The taste of the food at Sal's is awesome. Calzone was amazing as well as pepperoni pizza and chicken parmesan sub. All was pretty fantastic and the large Calzone is a serious 2 person meal!! If we're coming back through Stanardsville VA we will come back again in a heartbeat. read more

BUT pizza - 4/5. Purchased take-out and ordered online. Their website said 15 minutes max, but I arrived about 20 minutes after I had ordered. None of the staff members were wearing masks or observing any social distancing... and I had to wait another 10 minutes for my order. read more

I suppose you could call me boring in that I almost always tend to order the burger from any restaurant, but of all the burgers i've ever tasted, Sal's is definitely one of the best. Their appetizer platter is also splendid, a lovely wide view of their selection, especially useful if you're not sure which you would like best or if you want more than one but not ALL of one. My family and I all love the food there and the staff as well. Lovely people! read more

We ordered pickup from Sal's and it almost seemed like they forgot about our order until I arrived to pick it up. It's about what you would expect from the middle of Virginia. Doughy crust, and super cheap. They have coupons and offers on their webpage too. The sit down area was packed, and they did have a lot of other Italian offerings, so maybe the entrees are better than the pizza. Might check it out again if we're in the area. Also, yelp is way off on the location. It's actually in the shopping center at the intersection of Spotswood Trail and Monroe. read more

We've been a few times and after our last visit won't be going back. It is always slow and takes a long time to get the food. This last visit a customer (who said she used to work there) said it's because they put a priority on food that's "to go" since the rest of us are already sitting in the restaurant. I think your best bet is just pizza to go. Tuesdays they have a decent special. The food is just frozen food that's been cooked. I had a sandwhich the last time, remembering how much I disliked the food the previous time and even a simple sandwhich left a lot to be desired. It was a thin piece of chicken breast (like you would get off the $1 menu at McD's). Absolutely nothing special about it. The space is crowded. It's extremely overpriced for what you are getting, imo. read more

Nice small restaurant that tries to serve a lot of variety to keep all happy. Nice service, we went Italian since that seemed to be their main focus. We were passing through from CA. Got calzone lg. And salad to spilit between the two of us. This is enough for four so be hungry or go smaller. Good cheesy stuffed with meat and salad had a lot of meat too. Nice to get a fair price for good food. read more

This is our restaurant. We love this place. On any given night you will get the best pizza in the world. (Believe me, we've tried quite a few!) It's the place where we walk in and get that friendly greeting. In all the years, we still haven't tried everything on the menu, but the pizza, stromboli, pepperoni rolls - all things Italian are great. Jimmy, the co-owner and chef also makes the most delicious fish entre I've ever eaten. There are frequent new specials, and I'm always tempted. My husband and I travel a great deal around the US and Canada. We always compare every restaurant meal to Sal's. Sal's is not intended to be fancy, it's like the neighborhood restaurant. All our family celebrations are fed by Sal's! The portions are so generous that we always have a doggy bag when we leave, but believe me, the dogs don't get what's in the bag! read more

Stopped for lunch while passing through town. Enjoyed the pizza which we felt was very good. The specials look intriguing and the rest of the menu appears to standard Italian American fare with basic salads and sandwiches. So, pretty much anything you want. The staff was friendly and the service good. We would go back when in the area. read more

The first time we ate at Sal's we were meeting relatives and being used to Charlottesville and Richmond restaurants each person at the table ordered an appetizer. Honestly the servings were so generous our table was full of food and we were giggling like kids as we swapped platters around. Fried pickles, ravioli with marinara...and juicy zucchini and mushrooms. We've been back a number of times and my husband almost cannot be persuaded to try anything other than the meat lovers stromboli which he adores. I love to surf the menu. The seafood pasta was fabulous with huge shrimp and a generous serving of mussels, and clams in a flavorful sauce. The Belgian chocolate cheesecake was decadently good. My daughter loves the tiramisu. We have just never had a bad meal there and it has become a family gathering place. We even celebrated a 90th birthday there for my husband's mother, utilizing the banquet room. read more

GET AN ITEMIZED RECEIPT!!!! This used to be a place that my family would stop at least once a week; however, they have really fallen off lately. The food has never been GREAT, but the service was pretty good. We ordered the same thing every week (2 Large Cheese Pizzas for 19.99 and 5 waters). We started noticing each week that the price was changing and going up and the pizza was getting smaller (More like a medium). Finally last week they gave me an itemized receipt for the very first time and I was able to see that they were over charging me for the pizza AND charging me for WATER. When I walk in, they have gotten to notice me, so they ask, "same thing? 2 pizzas 19.99?" I asked the waitress about the price and she said "oh, I'm sorry" and fixed the bill that time....Now after I have been overpaying for several months. We marked it down as a possible mistake and went back this week and again, I asked for an itemized receipt and was overcharged. When I asked the guys at the register about the cost, the owner came over and started getting rude and said you pay whats on the bill. I told him that the bill was wrong and didn't match the menu and that I wasn't going to pay more for the food than what was in the menu (It was $10 more). He told me that the menu prices have changed and went up. I explained that the menu's haven't changed and he can't charge more than what is listed in the menu especially when I took my order they didn't mention and price changes, nor were any price changes posted in the restaurant. He said I had to pay the cost in the system not on the menu because the prices in the menu went up. I let him know that was false advertisement and he backed off and said "well if you're so smart, tell me how much you owe," so, I did the math for him and told him what the cost should be. He kept his poor attitude but accepted that amount and said "for now own, you will pay what's in the system," But, sorry, there won't be a for now on because that was my family's last time eating there. You can obviously see that the business is struggling. There are hardly ever more than one person/family in at a time. They sell box wine in glasses. They buy chips, sodas and snacks from the dollar store next door and sell those items at a higher price. They are struggling and trying to make ends meet, but to me, if you want to survive hard times, you should take care of the customers, especially the regulars. Food that is not very good already, becomes bad food when the customer service is poor also. The food is not worth the hassle or poor treatment you receive there anymore, and if they are going up on prices, it's not worth the price. Make the extra trip up to Ruckersville instead, save yourself the trouble. But, if you do decide to eat there, GET AN ITEMIZED RECEIPT and ONLY pay what's on the menu. read more

We're two years new to the area from NJ and my wife and two kids have been to Sal's on several occasions. The food is only so-so and we usually experience pretty slow service. We kept trying though, and recently brought our friends and their 2 kids there for the first time after a close kids activity wrapped up. Again, the food was ok, but we had a problem when trying to pay. Each family happened to have a coupon from the 'Attractions' book and wanted to use them. However, the waitress stated that they could only accept one coupon per table (this was not stated on the coupon). We talked to the owner about it, I assume it was Sal, and explained that we just happen to be sitting together and we were both paying separately. He said that it didn't matter and that next time one family should sit over there (pointing to another table). We laughed, but he was serious and huffed away. There won't be a next time for either family, sorry Sal's. read more
