We thought we knew where the best Italian pizzas and food was outside of Italy (in Paris), but now we’ve found a real rival. We had the salentinas and pizza and loved it all. Why is it so good? - Excellent food (no heating, reheating, just that huge oven in the middle of this small place, fresh ingredients and that’s it - Excellent service (they really try to make your experience perfect - we even heard a couple tell about some sauce they didn’t like and they listened to them, said they would try and even joked that they would name is as their name should it get on the menu. This is what I call great and professional service! - Fast service All in all, we just loved it. One salentina can already fill you up well, but it was so good that my boyfriend and I managed to eat a pizza between the both of us too :p At 19:10 there were still seats but by 19:30 all seats were gone and you’d have to wait 10 minutes (so still feasible). Also it’s easy to take away. PS: it’s not only for tourists! ;) We heard quite a few Greek families and people buy from there

I ve been visiting this place for sometime now. The food is great if you love wood-oven baked bread and pizza as well as fresh ingredients and mouthwatering tastes packed in a so called "salento" sandwich. The service has been exceptional all the times I ve passed by for take away or dining in. The spot is comfy as it's in the centre placed next to some of my favorite bars and very close to my neighbourhood. The tables are on the pavement which is wide and lively but in the winter it's less easy to enjoy eating in as it is actually ...eating out. I like this place ... to the extend that even now that I have restricted my diet I still choose to regularly spare my eat-something-tasty meals there indulging on their yummie Ceasar salad or the equally tasty prawns salad with truffle cream dressing.

Beautiful ambience, good service, but just okay food. I've tried the margherita and left the place a bit disappointed. The dough was top notch and you could see and taste the long fermentation. Beautiful. However, the ingredients were bland, to say the least. I barely felt the tomato sauce, the basil leaves were some of the least aromatic I've ever had the pleasure of trying (literally tasted like eating grass, no basil characteristic flavour and aroma) and the mozzarella was simply not good (it was rock hard, barely melted). I've also tried the house special and it was better due to the added meats, but still having the above mentioned issues. All in all, not a bad experience and I would recommend everyone giving it a try, as the ambiance (in the evening) is splendid.

We arrived into Thessaloniki at 10pm from airport. Checked into our hotel and then began our search for a nice place to eat. After 10min walk we discovered a wonderful Salentina / Pizza place. The restaurant has only outdoor seating. Food is fantastic! The VEGAN MUSHROOM Salentina is to die for... The clientele are all young and local. They know where the great food is and where the vibe is I was so impressed with this restaurant, I returned the next day for another VEGAN MUSHROOM Salentina! Prices are very reasonable, food quality exceptional and the staff are so friendly. You won't be disappointed with SALENTO...delicious...

We tried the Salentina Pulled Pork Vinaigrette, which we shared (that's why they brought it cut in half). It's a sort of sandwich made from pizza dough with various fillings. It costs 4,70€ and was excellent! Absolute tasty dough as well as filling, very good value for money. There are no tables indoors, outside there are about six tables. Excellent, courteous and helpful staff. The atmosphere in terms of location is nothing special but you are rewarded by the taste! For the category of street food I highly recommend it, a must try for everyone!

We stumbled across Salento when our target grilled-meats spot (diagonal across the street) was closed for lunch. We were greeted by a friendly host and given an introduction to the on-site dough making process. We were hooked. (It helped that the sign is high-design, and that the name says “street food”) The meal was superb. On our three month journey, this makes the Top Five list for sure. The pulled pork sandwich shames any I’ve had back home in The South. 😬 As a bonus- it had excellent wood fired Margherita pizza for my kids.
