This is a local place that has national fame. While some ADORE the sicilian, I'm all about the plain slice. There pizza is always fresh and since they have such a high turn-over if you have patience there will be seating available within a reasonable time.
So go grab a slice and a boylan's soda an enjoy some of the best pizza I've ever eaten. -

Had Sal's pizza yesterday for the first time in years...killing time in that neighborhood and landed a metered spot right in front, so it seemed like the logical choice especially with their reputation.
The place was bustling with school kids, lunchtime patrons, etc...it was loud and noisy which is the vibe a pizzeria should definately give off.
Asked for a regular slice for myself and a salad slice for my sister and 2 fountain cokes - I like to see an old-school pizza joint still offering fountain soda!
How disappointing! The regular slice was TINY, slightly larger than the size of my palm, and the salad slice didn't fair much larger. I realized after that I probably should of ordered my usual "corner Sicilian" as everyone in there was asking for the sicilian.
I asked sissy "How's the Salad Slice?" She's says "Eh, Nothing Special." My slice was actually delicious, seasoned well with spices and a robust sauce, but I just wish it was larger.
As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing like a Bronx slice. I've been living in Westchester for about 15 years now, and have yet to find a true-and-true slice. However, this place does deserve a "do-over" and next time, I will order a slice AND a sicilian...it's what I was always used to do when I tried a new spot, but this was before I lost 30 pounds :) -

What the heck happened to their pizza?
7 years ago this was one of the best slices I've ever had. Sicilian or regular. After all these years, got back there and it was one terrible slice. Cheapened the ingredients - and their crust wasn't the same. Was amazed at how much it changed. -

Great pizza, with a delicious tangy sauce, but some of the guys behind the counter range from disinterested to rude. Try Joe's directly across from the movie theater for a better experience and an even better crust on the pies.

Have tried a number of different pies here (Sicilian, Salad, Regular) . Nothing stood out, the salad pie was awful. Totally over-hyped. Sofia's in Harrison is much better, but sadly, very inconsistent. Pizza 2000's Grandma pizza is very good too, again, when they do a decent job on it.

It's kinda like the pizza nazi. My GF and I always have a laugh at how the staff is so grumpy all the time haha. But, it doesn't stop us from going back for the pie (with anchovy :)! We usually have 3 slices each and take 2 home. It's consistently delicious. The cheese has a noticeable texture that you snap through when you bite into it. Very good. They serve beer also and that's important for a pizza shop. Haha we called and asked if they delivered once and they were so nasty "$50 MINIMUM AND CALL IN ADVANCE!!!". Hahahaha grumpy Sal's, we love it!

Definitely Overrated! Like 95% of the reviewers I did not grow up eating here and have no allegiance to what the place used to be as of yesterday when we went the pizza was substandard. Crust was paper thin on the regular slice, and the world famous sicilian slice was good but nothing to write home about. After reading all the reviews we expected way better
My recommendation is drive 10 minutes south and check out Pelham Pizza, top ingredients and and awesome slice. -

The pizza is decent, but not as great as everybody makes it sound. I think that the popularity has gotten to the owners' heads though because they have no customer service skills. They were very rude to me and my family on a busy night, and I am a regular there. I was very upset that I even ate after that, and from now on I am frequenting Joe's up the block which is just as good, and has way friendlier workers, and is much less crowded.

I was in Mamaroneck briefly for an appointment, and had some time to kill. I pulled up my Yelp app and found this place. I found it because there was a long line of people standing outside. The pizza is well worth the wait. I wasn't crazy about the Sicilian slice, but the plain slice was awesome. Crispy, sweet and savory sauce, lots of cheese (but not too much). Definitely a place to try if you're in town.

Grew up on Sal's.
I've traveled the world, and I'm a pizza whore, so if I tell you this is the best pizza in NY (tied with Di Fara Pizza 1424 Avenue J, Brooklyn) than you can take it to the bank!
I LOVE SAL'S!
and the Gelateria is pretty good too....yummy Nutella gelato! oooh how I love you! -

My grandparents used to take me to Sal's when I lived in New York, and I insist on getting Sal's pizza every time I come to visit. They have the best Sicilian pizza I've ever eaten, bar none.
The place tends to be very busy, though, so make sure you call in and order your pizza well ahead of time. -

The pizza is good, the sicilian is very good. Anywhere on Long Island, Brooklyn or Queens this would be an average place. In Westchester where the pizza is not great, it is seen as a standout.
The mexican ice cream place that is a few doors down is the best reason to go here and have a slice-- for the dessert afterward. -

I've had New Haven's best and travelled to 49 states, there is none better than Sal's. The town has a large italian population and several pizzerias but Sal's is always busy. Don't miss the Sicilian, I've been loving it for 40 years.

Given then my mother grew up in Mamaroneck, it is a requirement to stop here almost every time we drive through (which tends to be every few months). The pizza is freaking amazing. Just enough sauce and cheese, thin but sturdy crust. It is also a quick, easy and cheap stop if you're just rolling through town, like I do. Apparently the salad pizza is also incredible but I have yet to try this.

I have been eating there for a few years, and have brought many friends, but I have been feeling lately that in return for a good slice, you get disrespected by one of the men who work behind the counter. I did enjoy the pizza, and everyone has bad days, but I am a friendly pregnant women who comes there with a bunch of people, and halfway through my order, I was told "I stopped listening to you". When I seemed confused, the man than said "I dont' take orders from women". At first I thought he was trying to make a joke, but the more I thought about it, I wanna kick myself for giving them my business. Another time, the same man tried to hit on my friend while we ordered. I think just because it's good pizza, and you are popular doesn't mean you can treat customers like crap.

If I was someone who liked New York enough to live there, this would be the place I would likely eat on a weekly basis. the best Sicilian pizza eva!
Just go there and eat it. They even have a salad pizza for you weirdos who want something healthy but have no problem with all those Carbs. -

Sal's salad slice is the best. However, don't overlook their regular slice. The crust is always thin and crispy and the sauce is fresh and the mozzerella and oil blend beautifully.
Topped off with some of the best gelato, Sal's is an absolutle necessity for any foodie. -

The best, the absolute best pizza in New York, if not the eastern seaboard. My family has been going to this place since the 80's (that I know of and if not sooner.) I moved away from NY in the early 90's, and every since then, I have compared every Italian restaurant and pizzeria to Sal's. The pizza is nice and thin, the veal parm wedge is light with the fresh bread, and the Sicilian is a constant favorite.

Best in NY? Hells no. .No way. Come on. have you ever left Mamaroneck? ever been to queens? brooklyn? Pelham, Mt Vernon? the god damned bronx? Idiots..
Dont get me wrong. its damn good pizza. but I've had better. I go to sals 6 times a year maybe. When im in that sad ass town of Mamaroneck. Its always good. But there are much better. How about New Park in Howard beach. Oh you wont go there will you.. Johnnys in mt vernon? Wont go there either will ya? Louie and ernies in the bronx? Come on. thats in a nice neighborhood. they wont rob your mercedes.
Believe me. i have nothing against sals. Its good. But come on.. Best in NY? NO. they wont even tell you that. And nick.. youre from Boston. So please dont try and rate pizza places. -

Best pizza in New York.
Best pizza anywhere.
All other pizzas wish they were made at Sal's. If only I could get the nice folks who work there to ship a large sicilian pie to Boston. And if that small dream of mine never comes true, it's well worth the three-hour drive. -

Yelp sent me here, but I was underwhelmed. Delorenzo's in Trenton is 10^(10) times as good. Yes, this is typical NY pizza. And, yes, it's quite good. But it didn't stick out as something that exceeds local standards. For the record, I tried both the "regular" and the "Sicilian." I think that the regular was a tad better, but it's just on par with what you'll find on generic street corners in Brooklyn.
This does seem to be the best pizza on the block. There are several other competitors on Mamaroneck Ave. All were empty, while Sal's had a line going out the door.Listed in: Pizza, Yelp sent me here

This is the beauty of Yelp. I started searching for a pizza restaurant to have dinner at in NY and found these rather stellar reviews of Sal's. Seeing that it was on the way back to Boston from our day out in NYC, we decided to stop for a pie based upon the multiple five-star reviews.
We were not disappointed.
Sal's is the type of pizza place I only wish I could get here in Boston. The staff are extremely friendly, and they kindly encouraged my wife & I to seek out a bigger booth (rather than the small 2-person table we were at) because we had ordered a Sicilian pie for the evening. That's the best part of driving to NYC - you can take leftovers home with you!
And the pizza? Fantastic! The sauce has great flavor and created that perfect balance between the crust and the cheese that is the hallmark of a great pizza. The Sicilian pie we ordered was enormous - it fed us for 3 meals and the leftovers we took home weighed more than most entire pies do at other restaurants.
It was a Saturday night at Sal's, and it felt like the entire neighborhood was having dinner there - young families, couples new & old, teenagers having a slice while out on the weekend - it was a great melting pot of people all gathering to enjoy the excellent pizza.
Like many other reviewers, I think this will now be a mandatory stop off 95 on the way back from NYC or DC. It's in a great location (just past the NY Thruway tolls - easy to find via the Yelp! map) and worth a stop to savor a great pizza.
Next time, I'm getting the garlic! -

I went to school in westchester county and was lucky enough to be introduced to Sal's early on .. four years of being local to this place was a good thing .. It is some of the best pizza in the area and everyone I have shared it with has agreed. Gooey cheese, doughey crust, yummy sauce .. it all comes together at Sal's..
My favorites here are the salad pizza (no cheese on top, just salad!!) and the sicilian pies .. any time I am passing through i get a pie to go (just not the salad ones to go, they dont travel so well..)
easy to get to from i95 .. worth the stop!! sometimes the lines can be long (out the door!)Listed in: PIZZAs OMG!!

We used to come to Sal's as a child for the best Sicilian pizza around. 40 years later, Sal's is still the best. They value their customers. Last weekend, the line was out the door and there was a bit of a delay. With this in mind, the boss comped us an extra slice for having to wait. You don't see customer service like that very often.

I love pizza, it's as easy as that. My ex used to bring me sal's pizza to my job in white plains along with their house salas w/ mozzarrella cheese.
I have clients who used to witness this ritual and so they joined in and when they would have to come to my office, bring Sal's. It's the best, and i grew up in NYC.
Also, next door is Cafe Mozart (picture the coffee house from Friends Central Perk, there usually is even an acoustic guitar player (PHoebe), and the best peanut butter chocolate pie you ever had
Thanks Carlo for bringing me to both!!! -

Seeing all the good reviews on Yelp, I went and realized that I had been to this place before, without knowing its name.
For the cheese pie with various toppings, I thought they uniformly needed more of that excellent sauce, often seemed a bit thin, to balance the congealed cheese/greasy texture. The sicilian was better, with tasty doughs to help with the rather scant toppings. I liked the salad pizza, which contrary to initial bland appearance, actually tasted refreshing with a touch of vinegar.
To call it the best pizza would be unjust to the numerous excellent pizzerias around New York. The pizza was good, but I found nothing truly special. The sauce was good, and the crust was right, yet I truly think it's only slightly better than generic, and not the "ultimate" that many made it out to be.
I live in Mamaroneck, and I love that they are conveniently in town. They are also very reasonably priced and a VERY popular neighborhood joint. However, for real pizza nirvana, you owe yourself to check out Lombardi's in SoHo, or Grimaldi's in Brooklyn. -

The great thing about this place is the Sicilian slice. The dough is not TOO thick, but it is nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You feel like it's PIZZA and not BREAD. Know what I mean?
LOTS gooey cheese!! MMMM Could use some more sauce, but not toooo big of a deal for me.
As for the regular slice...very good, very soft but not floppy. I'd rate it as above average NYC style slice. But it can't touch Difara!!!!
So, 4 stars for the Sicilian slice and 3 for the regular slice.
Also, if you want the BEST Sicilian slice, go to L&B in Brooklyn. But this is #1 is Westchester. -

Fantastic slices of Sicilian. My favorite in the world? no, but pretty darn good. I used to like the salad pizza, but for some reason its lost its appeal, maybe I just liked it when I was younger growing up.

Its good, maybe the best Sicilian Pizza in Westchester, But other wise pizza is just good at best. Like I said before its good but just don't think the pizza warrants the long Lines out the door on the Weekends.
Guys at the counter are not very nice almost because they feel like they don't need to be. Sicilian again is very good but if your looking for the Best in New York you gotta make a trip to L&B Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn. -

I used to live in Mamaroneck and frequently visited Sal's. Let me tell you how good their regular slice is. My usual portion for pizza is one or at most 2 regular slices. I once ordered a pie w/ extra cheese and ate half of the pie w/ a friend. My friend and I finished off a whole pie while we watched a movie.
Skip their dinner entrees because they're not as good as their pizza. If you'd like a regular slice or salad slice, this place is for you!
I've moved since then, but when I visit the town now and then, I make sure I eat at Sal's. I order one regular slice and one salad slice. Delicious. I'm craving them right now. ***drool** -

I decided to try Sal's after seeing all of the positive Yelp reviews. I had a slice of Sicilian and Salad. Both were very good. The Sicilian was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside with plenty of cheese and tomato sauce. The Salad pizza was flavorful and moist on top with a nice and crispy crust.
I still believe that the best pizza in Westchester is Totonno's however at least at Sal's you can get it by the slice.
