What diners are saying
Celebrated as an iconic Upper West Side gem, Sal and Carmine’s wins over diners with its authentic New York slices and generous portions. Reviewers consistently rave about the crust—described as light, airy, and crispy—with some noting it’s so good even crust-averse relatives fight over it. While the pepperoni and sausage pie is a standout for its rich sauce and savory toppings, opinions on the Margherita are mixed regarding sauce balance. Though some find the interior small and cramped, others appreciate the ample seating and fair prices for such high-quality, classic pizza.
