Our waitress tonight was amazing! I think her name was Heidi. She had the entire place outside to herself and she was hustling. She was very kind and lovely! This is my second time here and the food is consistently good. The Brussels sprout appetizer is hands down a fried delightful surprise. The Caesar fries are also a great starter. I get the figgy piggy and fat uncle Tony's to share as a table and it is delicious! Great crust and pizza! read more

My wife is gluten free so when we found out they had gluten free pizzas she was excited. We started with a burrata and strawberry salad. It was great. The pizzas came and they both were great. The service was great. read more

We finally ate in this restaurant since our previous experiences had been take-out during Covid. Actually I forget how long after they opened in 2020 did they open the sit down restaurant. We decided it was time to go in person especially given it is only about a mile down the road from us. We called for a reservation on a Saturday evening which looks like it was needed since it is a very small space. Even with the reservation we opted to eat at the bar since the two top they offered us was shoved in a bleak corner. The bartender was friendly and helpful and sitting at the bar gave us the option of watching a few football games on TV. After ordering some beers we ordered the Fat Uncle Tony pizza, though there were many other tempting choices. The large pizza was very tasty though the bacon was hard to find. The prices were similar to our usual Glass Nickel. We will definitely be back since there are some other pizzas we want to sample. read more

Awesome dining experience and great food. Recommend to everyone. Go get some pie and be happy!

It has been awhile since I'd been here, and now they've fully opened the dine-in option at this location as well (like awhile ago, but like I said, it had been awhile). I did technically order takeout again this time, but while I waited for my pizza, I was able to look around and see the large bar with plenty of table seating options. Love the feel of this place, and would love to come back for a dine-in option and sample the beverage offerings! What drew me back in to Salvatore's was their community fundraising night they did for the injured police officer and his K9. I wish there was a little bit more of advanced notice, but I love when local businesses really take an active part in their community and try to give back. And giving back at $10/pizza sold is way more than a lot of businesses do so A+ for that! Obviously, since I was coming here for the fundraiser, I ordered " the Kimberley" even though Italian sausage isn't usually my jam. Still, the pizza was SO GOOD. I think I was even able to get extra sauce on my pizza. While I am not a fan of a lot of crust still, the pizza is awesome and it's always a fun pizza crust treat for my puppers. read more

Excellent food , the Walter white may be the new favorite of Madison area pizza pies ! The Brussels sprouts were some of the best I've ate , prepared so deliciously. The service was phenomenal , quick and with a smile , bartender was an absolute joy ! The ambiance has that speakeasy feel to it , classy but you can get away with casual. I will go back most definitely, I need to try some of those other pies. read more

We normally go to Sal's for pizza but went there for their restaurant week menu and it was just amazing. We vegetarians often don't get a lot of inventive menu choices but the squash soup, plus cauliflower steak were divine. Large sections of charred cauliflower and potato wedges were on a bed of this ginger squash served with fennel. Totally unexpected flavors, absolutely delicious. The meat eater had homemade pasta with pancetta and a meatball dish first course. All the desserts are special. Their pizzas are awesome but don't skip this place during restaurant week... read more

Great pizza! Wish it was a little crunchier, but generally my favorite in Madison I've had so far. The ranch was excellent. And the marinara is good. The red sauce is outstanding. It is NOT marinara, its sweeter and silkier, very good. read more

Went here last week with my family. Had no reservation and was seated right away the host was very nice and friendly. We were able to sit outside and it was really nice but the table was wobbly, after that the service took forever had to wave down a sever to take our order and she was very rude. Started out by saying what do you want and no greeting at all. They were out of sweet tea instead of say sorry we're out she said we don't have that in a rude tone. The pizza was amazing. Ordered a cannoli togo and it was soggy. I'd say order takeout instead of dining in. read more

Everything was fantastic food, wine, and especially the service. I highly recommend this restaurant. I certainly will be back.

We ate here Friday night, and our experience was excellent. The pizza was just fantastic. I would definitely recommend it. The service was over the top. I highly recommend Emily as your server she could not have been more pleasant and accommodating. this is the second time I've been here, but the first of eating inside the atmosphere of the dining room was quite comfortable. read more

We ordered carryout of a Woodsman's pizza with extra mozarella, pepperoni, prosciutto, and basil. What we received was a pizza with tons of red sauce, barely any mozarella, pepperoni, prosciutto, and basil. It tasted awful! I'm not a fan of red sauce, and this tasted particularly yucky, like a frozen pizza. I called to complain, and they said they would refund our account for the cost of the pizza. Okay, but today I look at our account and see they charged us again for this terrible pizza! Won't trust them again. read more

We've had their pies 4-5 times now. Excellent flavor. Truly. The Walter White and Fat Uncle Tony are things of beauty. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. But this review is not about pizza. No no no no.... This is about FISH. a fellow Yelper messaged me a bit back asking if I had tried this place's fish fry? What is a pizza joint doing making fish? Well. They seem to be doing to fish what they already did to pizza. Taking something anyone can do (often poorly) and making it better then perfect. Their wild caught cod is in a perfect batter blend. Fried and with a crispy airlike crust that leaves you begging for more. Their remoulade sauce outclasses any tartar you can imagine. The slaw is homemade and amazing. Even the darn marble rye is light and delicious. The only problem is that fish is only served in Fridays. Now I have to sit here and crave for 5 more days. Darn. read more

I have been to this location a handful of times, eaten inside and out. The service is great but the food is why we keep going back.....fresh ingredients, wonderful flavors and perfect amounts. Salvatore's is definitely one of my favorites :) read more

Best pizza in Dane County. They use fantastic ingredients in artistic combinations. To me, there is really no point in ordering pizza from anywhere else. read more

Salvatore's is always delicious, and this location is no exception. But, like the Sun Prairie location, they absolutely cannot keep time. Their pizza is always 15 to 20+ minutes after their (already lengthy) estimate. (Sal's lukewarm just isn't as good as hot, so waiting half an hour before you leave to pick up pizza isn't a great option.) I totally get that hiring is hard these days -- but then please, please just don't overpromise. Add some time to your estimates! Or figure out how many pizzas you can make. But don't let me order 45 minutes in advance only to not have them ready. (I did get a text telling me they were running late, but the message arrived ... after my pizza was supposed to be ready.) Then when I arrive 10 minutes later, tell me it'll be *another* 10 minutes and still not be ready for then either. In case you're counting, that's an hour and 10 minutes after I placed my order. Sal's I love you, but you're killing me on the timing. read more

decor/service: they only do takeout or they have a couple outdoor tables you can sit at. East online ordering process. Food: pizza was very good. Sauce was a bit to sweet for me but there pepperoni was excellent and had a bit of a kick that made it a very good pie. read more

Well this is a yummy spot but I tried to do a pick up order tonight and couldn't because they are full with orders for pickup. I changed to delivery and couldn't do that either because of to many orders. I am giving this a four star rating because their pizzas are very good. However going through their website and ordering what you want to get to the checkout and be stopped is disappointing. The website should just Indicate immediately that there are no online orders or delivery available so you are not adding to your cart only to be stopped. We ended up ordering from somewhere else. Sad :( read more

The Fat Uncle Tony 10" pie was excellent. But I'm here to gush over the butterscotch budino. I'm a fan of most puddings, but this, this, is better than 10" of anything. Full mouth-feel texture, and salty to bring out all the flavor. The dollop of cream on the top, over the top. And I haven't even yet mentioned the biscotti that comes on the side. Caramel inside, chocolate dipped. Crunchy to go with the smooooth pudding. I need a cigarette. read more

Well, we had intentions of going to Cousins after doing our rounds. But when we saw Sal's was open, it was GAME ON. We have ordered here online during the pandemic, they have super easy/fast ordering online. Just need to add that. Today we wanted to eat in the outside patio. Parking: There's a large amount of parking in the strip malls parking lot. Granted sometimes people drive like crazy through it. Seating: We went around 4:00, when we walked in, there wasn't a sign giving much for prompts for inside or outside seating. The lady said she could seat us where we wanted, as she could tell that's probably what we wanted. They have a VERY small inside seating, and a good amount of outside seating. The seats are a tad lightweight. But they have a lot of them. And small tables. We ran into this issue near the end of the meal, but a few bees showed up. We were sitting near a potted plant, not sure if that played into the bees. Bathrooms: We didn't see any bathrooms, unless there in a back room. But it was a bit of an issue, not the end all be all. Granted I did get the cheese pizza... Food: We got some garlic bread, which was OK. Forgot to get a picture. But it was extremely hard, could tasted the oil when you got a tad further into the piece of garlic bread. I'd rate the garlic bread a 3/10. It did have GREAT marinara with it. Which it needed. Fiancé got a 10in Fat Uncle Tony, we'd rate this at 9/10. It was pretty classic. A good meat and cheese pizza, but the quality is beyond what you get at a majority of places. I decided I wanted a 10in Walter White. Honestly this was a tad bit of a let down. The description was enticing. Ricotta, sausage, pepper and lemon. All together it was a good pizza, it's what I love about Sal's. They do exciting things. The let down came with inconsistencies in the pizza slice to slice. Either you had one pure cheese, or heavy lemon, or heavy peppered cheese. Final rating: 4/5, mainly just for the seating issue and the fact I couldn't find a consistent flavor with the pizza I chose. But I do love the service, the uniqueness of the pizza and the quality! read more

Still loving Sal's out of Monona, especially since I can get it delivered right to my home. Celebrated New Years Eve with the Burrata cheese appetizer along with specials that included crab cakes and a lobster pizza. Ingredients are so high quality and dishes are executed to perfection. Prices are high, but trust me it's worth it! read more

I am not sure they fully recovered from the rona as a business, but the food and service are still outstanding! They may be slow and only have limited seating, but the pizza is absolutely worth it. The toppings taste fresh and the crust is perfect. We had a lot of fun and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. If we are in the area again, we will definitely return! read more

Group of four vegetarians (not vegan) had the large 16" Woodsman Pizza delivered. "Whole Milk Mozzarella, Brown Butter Sauteed Crimini, Oyster & Shiitake Mushrooms with Leek, & Pleasant Ridge Reserve, finished with Truffle Oil, Cracked Black Pepper & Chives". Absolutely scrumptious! The variety of mushrooms was impressive and sauteed in brown butter made it a vegetarian delight. The 16 inch was enough to fill up four adults as the mushrooms are quite filling. Highly recommend the Woodsman pizza. read more

I NEVER write reviews-but this pizza was so bad I felt compelled to warn people. Do not order the Walter White pizza. It tasted like rancid lemons, salt, and a drizzle of more lemon. There were 5 cloves of garlic piled on one piece. And then more lemon. I just don't understand....it was an abomination. Even the tomato sauce was bad. On an up note, the crust was fine. This pizza made my 21 year old who loves pizza sad. I am wondering if there was a Breaking Bad joke I missed -- like this is the pizza someone on meth would make? I am not getting the joke read more

I Very excited a Salvatore's opened very close to home. They deliver to McFarland which is huge plus for us. They probably have the best pizza in Madison area, I'm not a crust eater but will eat their crust. Very friendly and helpful service. We FB messaged them a question about a delivery to the boat launch and it wasn't a problem. Super fast and it will be delivered when they say. We've done BYO, the woodsman, white pizza, vegan and phone-in and all were delicious. Probably the best pizza I've ever had was Johnny's Slices with goat cheese, pepperoni, spicy pickled veg and hot honey; it was insanely good. They do change their pizzas so it's always nice to try something new. Yes, it's a little pricey but worth it IMO. Hoping they expand their menu a bit but know they are just getting started. Will definitely keep coming back. read more

It is not exemplary of a restaurant business when they cannot get the food out of the kitchen, and you are waiting and waiting and waiting for your appetizer, and it arrives COLD with your pizza pie. (Oh, yeah! Almost forgot - and the Fried Calamari is HALF jalapeno peppers, which is not indicated in the menu and I would not have ordered it then.) Meanwhile, the appetizer, and entree for your dinner partner has YET to arrive. Their pizza is not all that. The crust is crunchy outside and doughy in the middle. Not how a pizza crust should be. If you decide to go to this place, expect to order food that will never arrive, that you have already paid for - because the whole setup is wierd and not very restaurant-like, and thus, not very welcoming. We ended up getting a refund for the entree that never showed up - because having to wait more than 1+ hour for it to arrive was just a bit much. read more

Service A+. Ambiance in the new dining room A+. The pizza is very Italian , you would not be surprised to get the exact same build it yourself pizza in Rome. Delicious sauce. Fine quality ingredients. read more

I'm not a big fan of giving 5 stars. To me, 5 stars is not like getting 100% on a test because you got all the questions right, that would be a 4. 5 stars is when you get an experience beyond what you should reasonably expect. Food here is a solid 4.5. Definitely deserves the top spot for best pizza in the city (which is subjective and depends on what style of pizza you prefer). Only having outdoor seating or carryout should only count for 3 at best. Especially since it's right along the parking lot and you could end up 2 feet from a car that's idling for 15 mins, while also playing crap music. Note to owners: what's taking so long with indoor seating? How do we get up to 5 stars? One superstar server carrying the brand on her shoulders. She's one of those lovely young people that has qualities that can't be trained. No room for improvement. read more

Let me start by saying how incredibly generous and caring this business is. They quickly arranged a fundraiser with many different ways that the general public could contribute/participate to benefit a local competitor who's bldg was heavily damaged by accident. For this alone they deserve all the stars in the world! So we ordered a couple pizzas as part of the fundraiser. The order online process was super easy. Checkin via the website when I arrived and they brought my pizzas out to my car. (I don't live within the delivery area) Pizzas smelled amazing! But tasted just ok. I have never had their pizzas prior to this fundraiser so i'm unsure if the pizzas were made exactly as they always are or if there were some corners cut to help offset the cost of materials as more than half the pizza price was being donated. Also thinking due to the volume of pizzas expected that perhaps they were fired early and refired just as we arrived. At any rate, we ordered the Lambeaughini. It has an epic ton of pepperoni. My son described it as a pepperoni postit note pad. Pepperonis stacked six layers deep!!! I had to try the Fig and Bacon which was good but too sweet to be a full dinner. Would be better served as an appetizer cut in smaller sections. And then there was the Fat Uncle Tony! Perfect pizza! Perfect balance of sausage, pepperoni, and bacon. I docked them one star because I prefer more sauce on my pizza. I would definitely order again in hopes that my next pizzas will be five star pizzas that are made under less hectic conditions. read more

Ok an honest review. The pizza taste and quality couldn't be better. But the delivery truly sucks. Cold pizza not so much. Tonight I ordered at about 4:55 pm with an estimate of 6:15 delivery. Delivery was at 6:35 and despite a 20% tip, the driver had me come down to the main entrance of my apartment building to hand off the pizza. And she was not apologetic at all. Pizza was cold, late, and driver attitude was bad. The best pizza in the world cannot make up for this. read more

This pizza was the saltiest I've ever had in my life. The anchovies were horrendous, and it wasn't worth a penny of what I paid. The only protein options available were the anchovies since everything else was pork. Finding the anchovies so terribly salty was a disgrace, along with the fact that there were no other protein options. read more

Quality vs quantity is something that is difficult to rate at this pizza spot. The quality is amazing but I don't know if the cost is worth it due to the number of established pizza spots around the area. read more

They have their COVID carryout process finely tuned, no hassles here. Can never go wrong with the Woodsman. The build your own specials can be pretty good - tip: I think they may automatically top with basil, so no need to waste a topping on that. A great pizza selection in Monona, especially since the national chains are a bit further away. read more

One word. Rigatoni. Oh my g. The al dente noodles, the light and tender meat with the perfect spice blend, the buttery sauce, creamy parmesan and a bit of crème fraîche was amazing. Dare I say one of the best pastas I've ever had in Madison and I eat a lot of pasta. I can't wait to order this again! And I have always loved their pizzas. read more

The pizza was absolutely amazing. Even toppings, crust was perfect. The bread though was very very hard. I guess that is just some people's preference, but it was very hard for me to chew through and unsatisfying. The marinara sauce was pretty good. I ordered this pizza for pickup and I had to wait for over 10 minutes past the scheduled pick up time to receive my food, but that's okay. Overall good pizza, don't recommend the bread if you want to chip your tooth, and service is pretty okay. read more
