A neighborhood institution. Great for dining in with big, delicious portions that will cram your table (try any pasta with the vodka sauce, and the spinach rabbe) and fill your belly. Amazing pizza every time (go for the white pie with your favorite topping or the meat lovers if you're ready to go to heaven), and great, fast service.

BYOB! The large pizza is huge, good for sharing among 4 people. We really enjoyed the mussels posilipo so much that we also ordered the clams. You can skip the garlic knots as they weren’t very garlicky. The service was prompt!

Love coming here. Portions are big and the food is always satisfying. First time sitting in for a pizza. Mini Neapolitan and white cheese pizzas were so good. Took two slices home. The ricotta cheese on the white pizza was really really good. $40 w tip.

First time trying Salvatore’s of Soho and I must say, the food was excellent and the service was great. We placed a large catering order for a party and they were on time with the delivery and all the food was correct. The dishes were all crowd pleasers and the quality of the food was fantastic. The sausage and broccoli rabe were a definite stand out with the large chunks of roasted garlic. The calamari was crispy and delicious. Thanks Sal’s!

Great service! I ordered ahead because I had to get back to work, my customer suggested this spot and I’m so glad I took her advice. I found a good spot to park while I ran in, left my car running that’s how much I was in a rush and they accommodated me very well. Got the minestrone soup and the salmon that came with broccoli and mashed potatoes 👍

On the top of the hill on the corner this place is located. Wanted to try some pasta dishes here, was seated outside right away then, was handed the menu. Did not really dine inside; however many guess chose to sit Inside(hot outside) . Staff was directed and simple not really engaging or super enthusiastic but got the job done.Only soft drinks are served here, so people that like wine or spirits with their food this is not the place.. overall good family environment Manu is not complicated nothing on the menu you will probably never have not seen or tried will jump out to you at all..

I just picked up a large pie from Salvatore s, despite traveling in 20 degrees temperature the pie traveled well. It was warm,tasty and oh so delicious! The dough this time was more thick and yummy! The cheese and the taste of the dough itself, was consistent in the taste. A great place to dine in or take out! Great pizza, as always. The server was courteous and warm, but not extraordinary. They have kept the pizza consistent in quality and taste. I have not dined in since the pandemic, but the food is consistently good. I especially enjoy the shrimp parmesan, it is so cheesy and the shrimps are huge and delicious! Salvatores is one of Riverdales gems and if you have not yet tried their food, you should! I just wished they had a bigger space.

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Riverdale! The food is tasty and good portions. Also, it s a BYOB so enjoying a great meal with friends and bringing in a few burgles frown the liquor store down the block offers a great meal and you save on the wine! Tremendous and the owner and wait staff are extremely pleasant! Our favorites: Broccoli Rabe/Garlic Pasta Primavera Eggplant Rolletini

Friend sent me a chicken parm from them. Took one bite and the chicken tasted like old hardened meat. Took a second bite from another section of the chicken horrific! This past summer I went to buy a slice. Pizza was oily and droopy. When I stated this to them their look was like oh well. Explore another Italian place!

From the outside, this place does not look like anything special. It just look like a cheap pizza joint, but believe me, this place is a gem in this neighborhood. The menu is vast and incredible good. Ive been going to this place every Friday and my goal is to try every dish on the menu. Besides the food and incredible service, this restaurant lets you bring your own wine, this is a plus. I give this place a 10 out of 10

I ordered a large salad and seltzer for delivery. I find that they give a lot of food for the money. I ate half of my salad and I have the other half for lunch or dinner tomorrow. I got my delivery pretty quick. They said my delivery would arrive in 30 minutes, but he arrived with my order in less than 20 minutes. I am very satisfied with the food and the service. My experience was great and I will be ordering food there again very soon. I highly recommend this place.

Quality of food and service is inconsistent. Food is sometimes very stale/old and person taking orders is rude half the time. Return policy on food that is clearly bad is not customer friendly, long-term customers are not treated as trustworthy. Unfortunately, would not recommend if looking for reliable food and service.

Pizza is usually soggy and so small and thin you need to stop and buy another slice before you get home. Their calzones and pizza rolls are not fresh and are kept in the fridge. Get a Sicilian slice and avoid the rest. The food is average at best. The only plus is outdoor seating.

Absolutely horrible service. Waited 47 minutes for food. Owner said people usually just order appetizers. Food came room temperature.

December 23, 2023

The pizza was cold. waited almost 50min. never coming back

December 23, 2023

I waited over 47 minutes for my dinner. Dinner wasn t Hot. The waitress didn t come around to offer a second round of drinks. Place looks unkempt needs a good detailed cleaning. The owner told me that people usually order appetizers while they wait so in other words you have to eat more food in order not to wait 47 minutes .

Delivery came super fast. Margarita pizza is missing something I can t put my finger on it but it just doesn t satisfy me. This style of pizza is not my preference (thin flat crust) - but the taste is good, and the quality of the ingredients are excellent! The taste was definitely fresh - the pasta dishes looks worth a try. The staff are friendly- place looks clean and like a great vibe.

Disappointed and only have 2 things to say: 1. My eggplant roll was so greasy that I had to wrap it in paper towels to drain it. 2. The Veal Parm hero was extremely tough. Even Saturday night was not an excuse for this food. The food in the restaurant is much better.

★★★
December 23, 2022

This place is best described as either a totally amazing hit or a total miss with both service and quality. I ve ordered in, picked up and ordered delivery at-least 10-15 times. With the service, there s a huge discrepancy between the older gentleman working the counter and the younger man. The older man- has this old Italian charm, he is warm very welcoming, sweet and seems happy to be there, will hand you the food directly with a smile. The younger guy seems unhappy, is borderline rude, doesn t make eye contact and is super short and just kind of slaps the food on the counter. As for the quality, the pizza is either the most delicious thin crust pizza I ve ever had in my entire life or it s extremely burnt to point it taste like ash. Like black burnt, like surprising that they could allow that to go into the box and out to a customer. These experiences are genuinely 50/50 which is why I described it as a hit or a miss.

Walked here with our dog and there where no tables left outside but they had no problem bringing a table from indoors outside for us to sit. Food entrees where tasty and good portions and great price. Pizza was very good as well. We also placed an order for catering for the following Saturday. We ordered half tray of penne and chicken parm. The delivery was on time, food was perfect temp. Everyone loved the food. Even my nephew who swears he doesn t eat penne al la vodka came back for three servings. Prices are reasonable and will def be going back for more great food.
