Sal's Pizzeria

Three of us went. Seating was a SLOW and complicated (?) process, but once it got worked out, the awesome started happening.

The wife and I shared a chop salad (I had to look this stuff up on their website, to get the names) and it was nice. I'm not a salad dude, but the croutons were tasty, and the dressing, which I asked for on the side, was good.

I ordered the Daria pizza, mostly cause i wanted to try to pig jowl meat that I'd just watched Guy Fieri mention on his show. The Daria is a meat pizza, and I think the first time in my life I enjoyed a meat pizza, and it wasn't just crumbled ground sausage and beef. The wife did not like the texture of the jowl; not quite like bacon, more crispy greasy, so if that bothers you, maybe order a different pizza. 

She got the eggplant pizza (the Sienna?) and Will ordered the Adeline. I tried theirs, too, and the meatballs were some of the best I'd eaten. Wasn't a big fan of the eggplant, but the taste was more subtle, I guess, after the other two. I probably should have tried it first, but I dont like olives, either.Not sure I'd recommend going for lunch, it was a little slow, but the company made the wait seem ok. 

They're diet coke, which thrilled me. They do the metal plates like Tomatino's, but they brought me a china one, so I didn't have to cut my pizza on the metal. 

The atmosphere is a little weird, to me. I can't tell what used to be in that location. But I guess you could call it fun. I was there for the pizza though, and I feel it really came through for me there.

Definitely more enjoyable overall than the other pizza joints in town.
