The Write-Up

The full story

Sal's Pizza Bar on Daryl Carter Parkway is a family owned spot turning out Brooklyn style pies that transplanted New Yorkers say taste just like home. Guests call the slice the best in Orlando, pointing to the Nonna slice, vodka burrata pizza, grandpa slice and ziti slice coming hot from the oven. Garlic knots and cannoli round out an old school neighborhood counter where Sal himself is often behind it.
